"What's going on!? Camila! You have been acting weird since yesterday. Please what's going on? If you're in danger I need to know too, I could help?!"Mandy cried out as I walked hastily through the hallway to the hotel's emergency call center.
She persistently trudged closely behind, warranting me to stop. Just for the sake of it, I turned around and her body collided with mine with the mutual rush.
"Yeah you need to know, I guess…"
"No, I need to know. What's going on? What's the card all about? A card that says I will be back and you're acting all edit. This is the first time I've seen you so worried. Who is this Logan Creed?"
"Sorry, Mandy, but you can't help. Trust me, this is way beyond you… you don't even kno—"
"Yes I do. I know what you are. I know what you do. I was here when you killed the owner of this hotel."
Logan stepped into the room and marveled at the sweet woman before him. He walked slowly up to the other side of the table and sat down, taking with her eyes which was staring widely at him. He wore the same clothe from before, without the hat, Silence plated in their midst for a moment as neither of them could part their heavy lips, weighted by each other's presence, Logan couldn't help but draw his cheeks at the side to reveal a gorgeous dimple. Camila zeroed in on his attire. He had just earned himself the title of a Mystery Man to her. Everything he wore alone was the net worth of many popular people, with the Paul Newman's Daytona which cost nothing less than $17.8 million, where the fuck and how the fuck does he get the old classics? Her lips were occupied with only three words «who are you» but the unannounced appearance of the hotel attendant slipped the words inside befo
After the evening with Logan Creed, I was contacted for the first time since the death of Jacques, and for some reasons I had to comply because it was part of who I was. What other life was there for me aside from being an assassin? Obviously not that with my Aunt which I ran away from many years ago. I had been briefed already and the mission was expected to be carried out two days later. Within those 48 hours, Logan had contacted me only once. My phone rang as I sat down on the bed waiting for the night of the mission which would be in exactly 11 hours. I had been thinking about it for the past 24 hours. They wanted me dead before, why getting me activated again? I had more questions than answers running helter skelter through my mind; questions that even I couldn't answer. And in the midst of my turbulence, the man whose mission had changed everything
I got away from my table and approched him, but his body guard stood in my way. "I just want to greet him" I said. He looked at his Boss waiting for an order. He raised and flanked his hand, and the body guard let me in. I sat close to him, and brought out my hand for a handshake. "I'm Camila Lipa and I'm a Croupier and the slots operations manager, nice to meet you" He looked at me with his glaring eyes and chuckled. "Nice to meet you too, sorry I don't do handshakes." He said. I drew back, withholding my hands. "Is okay. No problem" I giggled. I looked over his table. "You're pretty special, aren't you?" "Seems so" he smiled. I slid out my card to him. "Well, give me a call, if you need me to serve you… I can do it well, trust me" I winked at him sedu
Camila stared at his hands and a tremor of fear struck her. Logan looked at his hand and had the blood wiped out on his clothe. "It was a fight, anyway. Either it was their blood or mine." Logan said, and stepped back for Camila to come out; she was obviously not going to take his hand. She trudged out and was bewildered at how everything had been wrecked, and their bodies were damaged like that of his house. She could only think of one possible explanation, as she staggered forward checking the cars. "You go around with wild animals, huh? I will have to report you to the authorities. Wild animals are not allowed to roam the streets" Logan chuckled. "Wild animals? Probably. Ah they will never find th—" a gunshot!... Another! Camila had just shot the two bodies dead. "I just spared their live
*LOGAN*_* She cut the call and the doors were opened. They were all wearing masks, even when it was dark? Fighting would be a waste of time and energy. I had to let her will be done, I would have to live through it to get to the next. It was getting more interesting. I stepped out of the car and raised my hands above my head, and immediately got veiled with a black sack, and they dragged me away. **** The night was going slow, slower than the heart beats I was listening to, and my companions were nothing but the sweet little dark dwellers with pointing tails, ears, and oh well, you know the rest. These rats made hell of noises, but well, I guess it was a little peaceful, at least with the gleams of moon light drawn through the fairly enclosed windows, and openings from the steel walls. Everywhere wrecked of metal and it's rust— I hated it, but if
Camila*_* Who said that I couldn't feel myself again after getting to meet the mystery man and putting up with his stress? Just like a cop put a criminal behind bars, I had succeeded in not just putting Logan Creed behind bars, but to sleep. May his gentle soul rest in peace. My only regret was that I couldn't ask him to greet Mrs Lopez for me. Oh, I forgot, he would be in hell, not in heaven. I went into the hotel after getting out of my car and meeting the ground with my feet. The receiving hall was filled with clamoring guests with either glasses of wine in their hands' grasp or putting their speech mechanism into its main use. I looked back at the exterior ground through the big entrance glass door and was just noticing a bunch of cars parked, and oh, more was coming. "Oh busy day, is it?" I asked a worker hastily coming toward me, but he hurried of

Logan had crept into her room since morning, and staying there felt good for him, strangely. The day was drawing down and letting the shades of the evening take over, and it was a perfect time to show himself, instead of leaving when she came back. Camila opened the door and went inside without clicking on the light switch which was situated right beside the door, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't feel something until Logan whisked behind her. She was immediately overtaken with a feeling of fear and veneration like she was swept off of her feet by a strong wave of water and dashed into the sea to drown. "L
"You're the one who's really afraid. You don't need to be, they are not exactly our enemies—" "You think? Maybe for you, but not for me" he said with an impossible chuckle. "And why's that?" "Nice talk, Logan. See ya when next I see ya" he brushed him off and ran into the woods, shifting into a wolf right before disappearing. "Logan?!" Camila came out from the bunker and called out to him. Logan didn't even react like there was someone there. Being fast enough, she whisked to him, nervous, she started spilling it all out. "Please give me a chance I can explain, please—" Logan started walking toward a helicopter, but she continued because he would hear it. "I swear I didn't know it would kill you, I didn't know what the bullets were made of, I'm deeply sorry, I was just too broken to believe anything, please, I'm not asking for anything else other than your forgiveness, it would mean the whole world to me right now. For the sake of what we had,
He thought he would see a squad or even more posted at the entrances, but it was only a couple of them. The place was on red alert. "What the hell is going on in there?" He muttered to himself, shifting into what he was best. He went on all fours and rushed to the entrance, gunshots emerged, as always. He dived at them and brought them to their knees after breaking their bones. "Put yourself out of your miseries" he said with a growl as he walked past them into the bunker. There were gunshots coming from every direction. "What's that!?" They shot at him and he lapped at a pillar. "Too many of them…" he said through clenched teeth. "Where are you, Buck?" They fired tirelessly and heavily at him until it started dying out with screams of agony and pain. He peeped out and gasped. "What the hell have you become, Camila?" She finished them off in the twinkle of an eye, mouth full of blood and a heart yearning for revenge. She looked like nothin
Camila*_* "What's with the rush? Where are we going?!" I slipped out my hand from his grip. He said that we were going to a safe place, but we had gone Into another section of the bunker which looked like a chemical and research facility. "A saf—" "A safe place, yes that's what you said before!" I raised my voice at him. I was feeling uncomfortable. "Do you trust me?" When he would argue or get offended, he would do the opposite, it was what he always did and it was becoming too good to be true. I looked into his eyes and shook my head. "I don't know who to trust again" I said in a weak tone. It was times like this that he always got me, and would assure me that all would be well, and for the past 4 years, it was true. "It's okay to feel … anyway you're feeling right now, after all, you're only human, aren't you?" He asked with a smile. I didn't quite understand his question, I wasn't really human and he knew that. "Hey! Swinston!" Someone call
Camila*_* Swinston and I had left the states to a reserved place in Cuba. There, he said we would be safe and would never be tracked. It looked like a military mercenary base, no questions asked because I knew who Swinston was, he was a killer like me. And for 24 hours, my brain was frozen from thoughts. I didn't want to think about what happened to Logan, but there was one question that lingered in my mind. "Is he dead?" I asked Swinston who came to check up on me at my quarters. He's been doing that. "Do you think he's not?" He retorted, serving himself a chair. He held my two hands and looked into my eyes. "You have nothing to worry about, Camila—" "But I Killed him?" I asked with a faint voice. "You had no option, Camila. He was going to kill us both, he was insane, it was a very good thing you did even for him, you relieved him of any future pain…" he sighed. "You saved me, Camila. Doesn't that count for something?" He took his h
Camila had her gaze fixed at him without the zeal for speech. She had been fed with so much lies that she couldn't see the truth before her. She didn't want to believe because she couldn't. "I'm late, too late, aren't I?" He had never been so afraid before. Camila chuckled as a sound was heard from the back door. "Yeah, you're late, too late" "You have to listen to me. For your own good, it's okay if you want to forget about me or hate me forever, but this isn't going to be good for any of us—" "What isn't going to be good for any of us? My happiness? Or choosing him over you? You dumped me like I was nothing! What did you expect?" "There's a man, he was sent, he- he can't be trust—" "Camila?" Swinston called her from inside, he showed up to the front and put on a confused face. "Is this him?" He asked Camila, staring at Logan who began to growl at him. "You" Logan growled, he couldn't control his anger nor his shifting which was fast app
FOUR YEARS LATER Time doesn't always roll fast, especially when you're expecting something. Time isn't always on our side, just like good luck and good fate. We have choices to make, we have decisions to make, and all that matters is what we do with those time? How you choose to spend time your time waiting for something that matters, but ultimately, the question can not long be hidden… “what you wait for, is it worth the time for the wait?” I answered that question myself a long time ago, and each time I see his face, his smile, his body, each time I feel his love, his warmth, each time I smell his scent, and his sweetness, I give myself a pat for making the right decision. Everything changed with time, every single thing, except the pain from Russ, although bearable this time, I found my peace, and he was forever engraved in my heart. I still remember that day, not long after I got back from the land of the dead. He held my hands in the assur
Love, they never say, can be the only thing that can kill an immortal, a God, a goddess, and even the world. Love is a force of it's own, one to be reckoned with. Love is like the curse of a dying God, and the sweet voice of the devil. Love is like a nuclear weapon, it can bring fear, peace, it can build and it can destroy. Why is it so much? Why? I used to say "if love will kill me, I forbid love" but It was clear to me that one day, I would have to give it all up for love, but the question remains, what kind of love would that be? I would bet my life that it doesn't exist. What did hell feel like? Clearly wouldn't smell like burning herbs, clearly wouldn't feel like "a new life, a new chance…" I felt my lips moving slowly and my tongue slipping out those words. Sound was the next thing; peace. Just peace. Why? My eyelids started slipping away and my eyes shuttered as light pierced through my eye balls, the visions that passed through were blurry and scary,
My rage took me to where it all started, the day time club. And I was welcomed by two fully armed men guarding the entrance. It was unusual because there has never been security on the entrance, not like that. As I opened the door and met the ground with my feet, memories of Russ from the last day at the club came rushing like a strong wind that only inflicts anger and an accompanying pain to deliver the anger. I walked up to them, they held their gun tight and requested for an identity verification. "Hey, hold it. Where's your ID?" They asked. "Fuck am showing you my ID for?" My voice protested, taking my facial expression on the same path. They looked at each other and faced their front, like I wasn't there. Like I never existed. They had the fucking gut. "Allow me. I have an unfinished business with Jigsaw. He hooked me up with some old pal and I'm here to pay him back, in kind…" but the heavy and disturbed chorus in my voice said otherwise.
We had our first stop at Logan's desert mansion and took some good guns and some other firearms with us. "We are going to his house" I said to Russ once we drove out of the desert. "Is that a good idea? Shouldn't we like hit his business or something or a warehouse? Besides, security would be tight at his house… he will he expe—" "No. He won't be expecting me, and he will be hiding at his house cringed up with fear because his supernatural warrior is dead. And we will just send the perfect message…" I opened a small bag. "What are those?" Russ asked, staring at the small devices. "Explosives. Small but mighty…" "How are you going to set them off? " I pressed a button on my watch and it's beep connected the explosives. "Oh wow" "We set it all around his house, after he's dead" "Ay ay cap…" "Russ?" "Yes?" I held his hand. "It's not too late to turn back, you don't have to do this. You haven't even been in a gunfigh
