Chapter 1 


   As I watch the cops across the the street, I can feel my blood threatening to boil at the one who is  farthest’s from me…

 The grin he has on his face as if he feels they are going to be able to catch me in a lie. 

I feel that anger come to a point when he make’s a throat cutting motion…! I can feel my body moving on it own as if out of habit but just before I can a random girl falls flat on her face right in-front of me…. 

It take’s all my might night to lough out loud. 

She looked almost like a butt hurt little puppy whose bone had just been taken away. But when she looked up she started to stare at me with an 

unwavering look..,

I can’t quite figure out why she has that look in her eyes? But! I keep my eye’s firmly on the Cop’s both of them staring at the girl on the floor who is still staring at me from the flat of the concrete. 

I don’t care to look at her face as they are, After all most women are alway chasing me around before they know who I truly am. 

The other cop who still seem’s to be nervous start’s slowly easing his camera, As he’d does that the girl jumps to her feet in one quick motion. 

I try to avoid making any eye contact, If I brake my stare he will defiantly take a picture of me…..

I need a way out, I need to slip away to the car parked on the opposite end of this alleyway. A loud noise sound off from my right making both officer’s flinch and look away giving me just enough time to sink into the shadow’s behind me.

What was the sound? Peeking out from my hiding place I see a Silver A 4 with black details, It’s brake light’s are on and the engine’s purring is permeating though the air. 

Both cop’s now seem frantic…,       

Fortunately for me they did not see where I went. But I find myself wanting to look back at the A 4 what an interesting girl..

 In fact I don’t think I’ve ever shown interest in any one or anything even when I was a child…, But I can not afford such wasting of time on wondering about some one I need to finish my escape back to the 

syndicates he’d quarters.  


By the time I arrive Troy is already waiting for me my the entrance, We have meany secret meeting places but this one is my favorite they have my second favorite drink, A smooth 25 year old Scotch. 

Tory meets me half way. 

“Thank God! You’er back” He pulls out a little black book opening it, He then readies his pen. After many year’s of being my number two he never ceases to amaze me. 

“There was two in the front this time” 

“I see, They must feel that they have found 

something on you!” I smile at the though. 

“The one in the driver seat is new” A grin appears on Troy’s face, Despite his pretty boy exterior his inside’s are dark and twisted. And his torcher methods never fail the syndicates needs. 

“Would you like me to do the usual background 

check’s Sir?” I nod and he puts away his little black book.

Then he open’s the door to the dinning hall, Gnocchi never fail’s to have a classy atmosphere including their music. 

Troy take’s me to my usual table, It’s next to a big window with a view of the water some would say it has the best view of the water and the rest of this city.

“Would you like you usual Sir?” 

I give him a nod and he walk’s in the direction of the bar, Just as I’m starting to relax I start to hear a man who seems to be getting louder and louder…!

 So much for a quite evening, 

I look over to see the man with a girl.

 And what is this he seem’s to be pointing at my table… Does he not know his manners? 

Can he not see that this is a vip reserved table? 

No matter I’ll just wait her till my order arrive. 

Is what I thought a moment ago as I stride over to the man who is still raising his voice at me. 

“Is there a problem with my table?” 

I start while glaring at the man.

“There is a problem! Don’t you know who I am! I just spent a fortune on that table to have it reserved” He wave’s his hand in the air in a fist. 

“You have made an enemy out of me today and that is something you don’t want!” I rase an eyebrow at the man’s word’s before a scowl appear’s on my face. 

Troy appears at my side. 

“Sir please return to your table they are about to bring out your food, And your scotch has already been served.”

Troy looks the man up and down. “I’ll take care of our unwanted friend!” 

There’s that usual gleam in his eye that serves as a gate way to his twisted plan for this ‘disturbance’ I chuckle to myself, Both the man and the girl are in for a special night.

I return to my table were a server has just placed my food I can already smell the aroma the is permeating from the area of the room where my table is, I sit back in my place as I watch the man being dragged out by his hair and the woman who seem’s to have fainted on the floor.. 

A server is hurriedly pulling the curtain closed around the foyer to hide the unwanted seen from the other guests. 

This I ignore after all the staff here are on my payroll so why even bother, and after tonight a new blue blood will be joining then as well! For now I try to enjoy a moment of quite peace for tomorrow I’ll have to repeat this morning all over again.

 Just the thought of it tempts my blood to boil, Making me let out a loud sigh. 

“My.., My aren’t you so tiered this afternoon!”

I snap a angered glare to where the voice came from, The woman before me is Aemmly a tall thin fake blonde with a fake personality to mach. 

She and her friend group are in the ‘internment profession’ some would say we both are from the same under world but I would disagree. 

“What are you so deep in thought about?” She extends her hand trying to run it though my hair, I stop her by standing. 

“Why did you do that?” 

I give her a blank stare then point to another table in the room where an older man who smells of old money look angrily at her I Hold back a sigh. 

“Oh…,” 

She starts pouting. 

“I was only.., Hoping you would ask me to spend the night with you again.., But I know when I’m not wanted. “ Turning from me she rushes back to the older man, I place a hundred bill on the table it is more then enough to pay for the food. 

“Ready to leave Sir,”

I give Troy a nod.

“The car is already waiting!”

Tory escorts  me to the car before getting into the car behind us, There is no easy way for the people passing by to wonder why were is a wet fluid leading to the back of Tory’s car. He give’s a wide smile to all who twitch a the site of it..,  

The ride back to the property I’m currently staying at is quite annoying the traffic it appalling! But I keep my thought to myself…, 

If I were to mention it to John my overly reckless driver who is alway’s looking for a fight, He would walk right up to whoever he needed to and beat the ever living shit out of them!

But he is one of my most loyal I’ll give him that. Though the clean up of the old police chef’s doughtier  make me annoyed just thinking about it.., 

But at least he is happily married now, But there are whisper’s about what happened that day….

 It took him three week’s to recover from that fight! 

Those where three week’s I could have been using his skill elsewhere. 


We arrive at the my penthouse suite ten minutes after dark thank’s to the two hour traffic.

 By the time I’m settled into bed it is already midnight, I sigh as I look at the sealing wishing for sleep to takeover me.
