Becoming Untouchable

Isadora“Again.”Rafael’s voice was sharp, cutting through the stillness of the training room.I gritted my teeth and lifted the gun again, my arms burning from exhaustion. I aimed at the target across the room, steadying my breath.Rafael stood beside me, arms crossed, watching me closely. "Your stance is still weak."I adjusted my feet, gripping the gun tighter. "Like this?"He exhaled. "Better."I focused, exhaled and fired. The bullet missed the center of the target by an inch. I sighed with frustration."Not good enough," Rafael muttered. I growled under my breath, squared my shoulders and fired again.Bullseye.Rafael exhaled, stepping closer. “Better. But you’re still hesitating.”I turned to face him, my eyes dark with determination. “I’m not hesitating.”Rafael cocked his head. “Aren’t you?”I tightened my grip on the gun. “No I'm not."“Then shoot me.”My breath hitched. “What?”“You heard me.” Rafael took a step closer, standing right in front of me. “You say you’re not he

Fear Or Respect; The Choice Is Yours

IsadoraA week later, I called for a meeting with the round table members of the cartel.The conference room was large, in the middle of the office building.I sat at head of the table, arms crossed and my gaze fixated. Ivan and Viktor were seated on both sides of me. There were about ten other men present in the room.The meeting had been going on for half an hour, when Bruno, a bald headed guy in his mid thirties, slid a set of papers across the table towards me."I've gone over the numbers, everything looks legit and solid," his tone casual and demeaning, almost like he was doing me a favor.I took the papers without looking at them, instead studying him, letting the time drag. He was known to have a dubious reputation."Everything looks solid?" I asked, my tone light and casual."Yeah, it's all good", Bruno replied, folding his arms as if to give an intimidating appearance.A faint smile played on my lips as I scanned the papers. The numbers didn't add up, but it wasn't a mistak

The Club

Isadora"You don't get it, do you?"Ivan's voice was sharp as he burst into my office, cutting through the tense air like a knife.I folded my arms, my patience already thin."I thought we were done with this conversation. And no, Ivan. You don't get it. You disappear, ignore me for days, then come back, act like nothing happened, and expect me to just accept it?""You don't need to accept anything," he snapped. "I do what needs to be done."I scoffed. "Right. And what exactly is that? Playing executioner when I never asked you to?""Bruno was going to kill you.""And I had it under control!" I shouted, my voice high in frustration.Ivan let out a dry chuckle, shaking his head. "You think he was going to give you 'time to prove a point'? He asked, with a tone of mockery. "You hesitate for just one second, and you're dead. I didn't come to watch you make a mistake and get killed."Something inside of me snapped. "Then why are you even here, Ivan? Since you think I'm so incompetent and

The Stolen Shipment

Isadora"We have a problem,' Viktor announced, his voice steady but with urgency. "The shipment's been hijacked."Viktor had called for an impromptu cartel meeting. I leaned back in my chair, absently tapping my fingers against the table until the announcement. The tension in the air was palpable. Ivan sat beside me, his face unreadable always, but I could see the flicker of concern in his eyes. Viktor stood at the head of the table, as he addressed the group of cartel members seated before him.At his announcement, the room fell silent. My pulse quickened. The shipment was one of our most lucrative operations -a batch of expensive weapons and drugs being transported across the border. I could feel every pair of eyes turn towards me, expecting a reaction, to take charge. I remained calm, my expression looking unfazed."Hijacked?" I asked, my voice low and dangerous. "What do you mean?"Viktor's eyes darkened. "It was supposed to arrive at the distribution point last night. We waited

Catching The Traitor

Isadora"You expect me to believe that bullshit?"My voice cut through the silence like a blade, sharp and malicious. I sat at the head of the table in a dimly lit room. Three cartel members sat across from me, men who had been trusted but now had a target on their backs.Carlos, the man I had questioned a little in the previous meeting, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "I swear, boss. I had nothing to do with it. His voice shook, exposing his fear. "I don't know how the shipment got leaked. I-I was handling the logistics, but I never said a word to anyone outside the circle."I leaned back in my chair, my gaze steady. "You were handling the logistics. And yet, someone knew exactly where and when to hit us. So tell me, Carlos, how the fuck does that happen?"No answer.To his left, Marco, a younger man with jittery hands, cleared his throat. "Maybe... maybe it was one of the drivers?" he suggested hastily, looking at the other two for backup. "Or- or, someone at the docks? It doesn'

The First Kill

Isadora"Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now, Miguel."My voice was quiet, but it sliced through the tension in the room like a blade. Every cartel member gathered around the long wooden table sat in eerie silence, their eyes fixed on the man kneeling before them. Miguel was bloodied, bruised and trembling, but he still had enough life left in him to understand the gravity of the situation.Miguel swallowed hard, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Boss...please, I swear, I never wanted to betray you. I was cornered. I-"I tilted my head, my expression unreadable. "You were cornered," I repeated slowly. "Who?"He hesitated, then gasped for breath. "C-Cesar," he muttered. "Cesar Alvarez."Murmurs erupted around the room.My eyes darkened. "Alvarez, you mean to tell me you sold out your family to that son of a bitch?"Miguel squeezed his eyes shut. "I didn't have a choice, he had men watching my family. He said if I didn't cooperate, they'd disappear. I didn't know what to do!"

Weight Of Blood

Isadora"You did what you had to do."I didn't flinch at Viktor's voice as he stepped into the room. I had remained seated there for over an hour, my fingers idly tracing the barrel of the gun I had used to kill Miguel. The blood had been cleaned, the body disposed of, and yet, I still saw his face- his pleading eyes, his trembling lips, his final breath."I know," I muttered, still staring at the gun.He stepped forward, his hands shoved into his pockets. "Then why do you look like you just made the biggest mistake of your life?"I exhaled, finally lifting my head to face him. "Because I don't feel anything, Viktor. I thought I would. I thought I'd be sick, feel guilty or something. But all I feel is ..." I paused, searching for the word."Empty," Viktor filled in for me.My jaw tightened. "Is that how it's supposed to be?"He shrugged. "For some, yes. For others, the first kill leaves a scar. Maybe yours just hasn't settled in or formed yet."I let out a bitter chuckle. "How comforti

Sex

Isadora"Are you going to kiss me or just keep standing there?"The words escaped out of my mouth before I could even stop them. I should have stepped away, should have broken the moment, but my feet remain glued as my body took over my actions.Ivan's fingers lingered against my cheek, the warmth of his touch doing something to my insides.He let out a low chuckle at my words, tilting his head. "You're not a patient one, are you?""You're stalling" I muttered, my voice quieter."No, I'm waiting to see if you'll stop me."I swallowed hard, my chest beating fast. I wouldn't stop him. I couldn't. So I reached for him first.The moment my fingers reached into his shirt, feeling his bare skin, his restraint snapped. His mouth was on mine before I could take another breath- hot, demanding and relentless. I had imagined what kissing him would feel like, but this was nothing like I imagined.His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer to him as he deepened the kiss, his tongue intertwining

No Strings, No Promises

Isadora"Don't say anything yet," Ivan murmured, his voice rough from the night before.I lay beside him, still tangled in the sheet. We has barely gotten any sleep, my body sore and aching in ways I hadn't felt in a long time. The morning light faintly crept into the room, casting a warm glow on the walls."What do you mean?" I asked, my voice quiet and soft.He popped himself up on one elbow, facing me. "I mean, this- last night- it was just that. A night. One night."Something cold settled in my stomach. I had felt this coming before it even started."Just a night?" I repeated, looking directly at him."Isadora, I'm not trying to hurt you. But I need you to understand, this can't be more than what it was."I forced out a dry laugh. "And what exactly was it to you? A way to let off some steam? A one night stand? A distraction?"His expression hardened. "It was real. And that's why I have to end it here."I sat up, pulling the sheet around me like some sort of protection. "That makes

Finding My Snake

IsadoraAs morning came in, reality set in. I had killed a traitor in the cartel, and we had an enemy to deal with.The four of us- Ivan, Viktor, Rafael and myself, sat around the table. Miguel's execution still lingered between us like a ghost, but there was no time to dwell on it. I avoided looking at Ivan, not sure if I could carry on like nothing happened this soon."This isn't going to work." Ivan's voice cut through the tension in the conference room.Viktor scoffed. "And what exactly isn't going to work? The fact that we're actually doing something about Cesar Alvarez? Or the fact that, for once, you're not in control?"Ivan's jaw clenched. "What's not going to work is charging in blind. Cesar isn't some local dealer we can muscle through. One wrong move, and we're dead.""So, what?" Viktor asked, leaning forward. "Right, because sitting on our asses and waiting for him to make the first move is a better idea."It's called being smart, Viktor," Ivan shot back. "Something you c
