- What kind of testing are we talking about? – asked Sarah.
- You'll have to prove your loyalty to the organization and more specifically to me. – answered Ms. Chudoviste while leaning closer to the face of the girl.
- Fine. When will it be?
- Now.
She then clapped twice with her hands and a huge screen appeared behind Sarah, who turned to see what was happening in the part of the room she couldn't see otherwise.
Now in front of her eyes appeared the picture of Zack.
What was the meaning of this?
- Who is that? – she pretended not to know.
- His name is Zack Dobro, a junior FBI agent. Despite his fragile age of just eighteen, he is one of the best in his field. Many of my people are now either dead or in prison thanks to him.
- Therefor you want him dead.
- Precisely.
- And me killing him will be enough to make me part of your crew?
- Not only my crew, but one of the five people closest to me.
- Don't you think I'll find it rather suspicious you offering me a position so close to you, keeping in mind my origins?
- One has to take the risk sometimes in order to gain something.
This was indeed a sign from above. Not only had she already been aiming Zack, but now he was her entrance door to the Monstrous Five, as the five most experienced and creative serial killers, without Teresa Chudoviste included, were called.
For wasting such a golden chance she had to be an idiot.
- It indeed is a good deal to me. – said Sarah – But it will take time.
- This will not be a problem, as long as no more underground lives are taken by this youngster!
- Am I going to be provided with all needed?
- Of course. The organization will take care of this matter. You just have to say it and you'll have it.
- Excellent. – the young girl smirked – But I still have one last question.
- What is it?
- What is my connection with the mafia while I still haven't finished the task?
- You will still be in my crew, since you want it that much, but on a lower position. I will have to keep an eye on you after all.
- And what will that position be?
- My personal assistant.
Was she serious? This was more than perfect!
It is true that in a field, such as serial killing, personal assistants have one of the lowest statuses, hence they mostly have to carry stuff and make food, but they are privileged to have all the information about the one they are assisting, including every mission they go to and what is the percentage of the successful ones.
Heavens were definitely smiling at the seventeen years old with the brightest smile they had.
- That's way below my abilities though. – she had to seem less interested and pleased with the offer she was given – I'll have to think about it.
- One minute and not a second more. Time is precious.
- I hate working on stress.
- And I hate weasels!
- Fine! I accept!
- Good choice.
