Lightning knew immediately Shelby walked up to the mirror that something was wrong. She had a troubled look on her face. she looked worried about something. " What is it? " She enquired.
Shelby stared at her reflection worry written all over her face. This is not her first hunt but this one for a reason she can't place her finger on she is filled with this foreboding feeling that wouldn't go away even though she tries thinking positively. " We have been activated for a hunt, " she whispered to her reflection with a little bit of dread.
Lightning scoffed. And here she was thinking something serious happened. " Is that all, " she said lightly not grasping the reason why Shelby was looking troubled.
" No, " Shelby shook her head which made Lightning straighten up to pay attention. " What? " she demanded.
" The hunt will be happening at once. "
Lightning face was a picture of confusion. " what does that even mean? " She frowned.
<The sound of fighting echoed high across the whole building spiking the adrenaline surge through Lightning's veins as her heart rate sped up in accordance with the danger level.She has been making her slowly through the turns and lots of cubicles in the building but has yet to encounter any weapons. Where the fuck are they? She growled harshly in her mind. If those fuckers that brought her have been playing her about being a weapon in here she was going to kill them when she gets out of here.Lightning ears twitched as she picked up something usual. She froze in her step and listened. A bullet heading in her direction. Her survival instinct took over and she ducked a second the bullet would have impacted her right chest causing it to graze her shoulder instead.Lightning eyes flashed quickly in the direction the bullet came from to see a guy about her age dressed up as a college in dark grey polo and saggy washed-out ragged jeans. In his hands
Percy hissed in disappointment at the turnout of the fight though not surprised. Right from the beginning, he has always thought Lightning to be a fierce assassin, and tonight she has proved him right again.Before the fight, Percy along with John had made the final arrangement. The invitation with the change of venue and rules were sent out from his office then he had a general meeting with the members of his security to select those that will be responsible for picking up the assassins from their various homes.Part of the arrangements John made was helping them purchase five black SUV vans that will be used to pick and transport the assassins to and fro from the site of the hunt.Another arrangement done was a mini-hospital equipped to resuscitate the final living assassin at the end of the hunt. All the staff is under a contract agreement never to reveal anything they see or they will be dead before the words could leave their mouth.John also arrange
As the lift drove her down from Shelby's apartment, Carolyn's mind was a riot of emotions. Why do I let her affect me this way, she kept asking herself with her lean frame resting on the wall of the lift. The mere thought of what happened on the table a few minutes ago made her clit jump. Damn it she has to stop thinking about the woman like this.When the elevator came to a stop Carolyn walked out and headed out the lobby.Her phone rang while she was driving to work." Hello, " she said into the phone." Where are you? " her partner's voice filtered into the phone with concern. It was unlike his partner to come in late." On my way. Was out pursuing a lead. "A few meters away from the precinct the smell of hotdog hit Carolyn's nose reminding her that she hasn't had anything to eat. She stopped and got herself some and a hot cup of coffee which she had quickly in her car before making her way to the precinct.She w
It was a gradual pull to wakefulness like someone was shaking her awake calling her consciousness out of the deep pool of darkness it was immersed into the light. That was how Shelby felt before she regained consciousness. The first thing that hit her even before her eyes opened was the aching soreness around her throat. It hurts like a bitch. Shelby winced from its pain before opening her eyes.She stared up at the sparkling sterile white ceiling above her for some seconds trying to get her bearing. Where was she? Shelby swallowed against the dryness in her throat which was a difficult fit seeing she didn't have any saliva left in her mouth to smoothen the action.She looked around her. She was in some kind of room and on a cot bed. As her eyes continued to trail everything in the room she picked up that she was in some kind of hospital room, but who will bring her to the hospital. The last thing she remembers was Lightning leaving for the hunt. If she was here that m
The pleading tone of Shelby's voice asking her to stay surprised Carolyn. She has never heard the blonde sound so vulnerable. " I will stay, " she replied and watched the woman on the bed lose the tension in her body.She walked back to the bed and bent down to face Shelby on the bed. " I am. going to help you get comfortable is that okay? "Shelby looked up at her with eyes clouded in pain and nodded her head." Can you lie on your back? it will make it easy to undress you. " Shelby smirked at her as something else appeared in her eyes. Carolyn shook her head at the twinkling she saw in those blue eyes. " I only want you comfortable while you sleep no funny business. "" Bummer, " Shelby whispered underneath her voice which Carolyn picked up and smiled. " Maybe next time, " she said and leaned over to kiss the blonde lightly on the lips.Carolyn began to remove the blonde dress. She started from her top. She moved the leather jac
Lightning walked into the bar and stood for a second looking for her target. Her eyes combed the area noting the number of people in there mostly men having their drinks and smoking some at the snooker table having a hand at the game. Of course, bets are involved as her eyes picked up a guy secretly collecting money from the various onlookers, then her eyes caught who she was looking for.In a casual sexy stride, she made her way towards him mindful of the stares on her but none threatening. As she passed a table of very drunk men she heard one make a lewd comment about her ass and how he will like to fuck her from behind and hear her scream her name.She almost paused to show the man he wasn't man enough but he wasn't worth her time she was almost running out of time to kill her target because she took a whole day to give herself time to recover from her injuries and tonight is her last night. If Tony Colosimo is not dead by midnight it will be her head on the spike.
The room was large and beautifully furnished. The lights are dimed giving off a romantic vibe. Lightning eyes took in all the features of the room without looking at the man who sat confidently on the bed watching her. Her scantily clad body can feel the scorching intensity of his gaze as he took her in as well.After her causal slow perusal of the room, she turned her focus on the man on the bed. His gaze though tinged with lust and gross interest in her body was still alert. He was a man who is not used to letting his guard down. He was dangerous and he knows it.Lightning was going to tread carefully here. This was no ordinary thug. He is not the head of the mob just because of his name. He is savvy and as ruthless as any man can be.Before coming for this kill Lightning made sure to do her homework. The status of her target meant that she couldn't chance to go in blind but because of the company rules she didn't have much time on her hands to plan the perfec
Shelby body and mind was operating on a different wavelength. Her mind still felt as if in a fugue state. Confused and disoriented. She might be awake and moving physically but it is taking her a bit of time for mind to catch up. Whatever Lightning did last night made her feel like she had gone days without sleep. Worn out and tired despite the restful night rest.As she drew closer to the living room her brow furrowed into a deep frown. Who could the visitor be. A mild alarm went off in her brain at the thought of it being her boss. Was Percy here because of the job last night. Did Lightning do a poor Job that might have posed a risk to the company.Her entrance to the room was first noticed by her cat, Frost who padded her way majestically to her and then began to wiggle around her legs, her obvious signs to be picked up. Shelby bent to oblige her. " Hey sweetheart, " she croned into her cat, shoving her face into her soft furs pettering with k
