It was like I was in one of those cheesy romance stuff about the guy meeting the girl in some clichè set up.
Except that I was on an assignment to kill someone and she was supposed to be packing to move in with me tomorrow.
"I work parties"she said,sounding unashamed of her job,and here I was believing she was a full time actress.
"Me too"
She raised a brow.
"How come I haven't come across you before?"Joe asked me.
"Come on,this is real life and not some love story"I told her.
"Yeah,I guess"she looked at my foot,her button,I crouched down and gave it to her.
"It's useless now"she said,"tight clothes!"she shrugged.
I had to get her out of here before she went inside and accidentally discovered the true owner of this uniform.
"We have people to wait"I told her,and held her hand to lead her outside.
Her soft palm,I could feel the heat between our palms,it drove me mad.
I led her to the party,she pushed her hair back,did she suddenly get shy?
I secretly wished I could hold her hand and lead her to so many parties,but not as a waitress.
I held unto her hand tighter,she passed me a glance,I looked at her,then she looked at the party.
********
The target was in his room.
The night was going fast,the party would end soon,and I would have to leave without accomplishing my agenda.
No one was looking in my direction,it was safe to discreetly leave.
I turned to leave,but someone held me back.
"Hey,what would you say to us getting together after this,I know a nice place that would be open. We could get a beer,and get to know each other"Joe offered.
"Sure"I said,hoping she would leave me alone,but she still stood there,expecting me to say something.
I grabbed a tray,and from the corner of my eyes,I noticed a man coming closer.
I turned and intentionally crash landed into him,making the old snub throw a fit.
"Get the hell out of my face!!!"he yelled in a foreign accent. He walked away,cursing.
I turned to take my leave,but I was pushed back,and Joe stood in front of me.
"Hey! Hey! Yes You mister!"She yelled,snapping her fingers at the guy.
crap!
"You can't just talk to my friend like that!"She snapped at him.
The man didn't turn,she walked up to him,and pulled him back.
This was my chance,my golden chance,I could elude her,and get the job done,once and for all.
But one part of me,made me walk up to them.
Nah!
The plastic bag I hid in my shoes,popped out,it must have come out when I was changing.
It fell out,and Joe kicked it while walking towards the rich snub.
I walked to the bag,and crouched down to pick up the bag,I could hear the arguments.
"You cannot just trample on people like their trash!"Joe said.
Ah!
It was close to the food table,I crouched down,and picked it,relieved.
I came back up,and my head collided with a rich elegant woman,holding a small puppy.
The dog became chaotic,and started a rampage.
It jumped out of the woman's hands,"oh!"she shrieked out loud.
The dog jumped into the salsa bowl,and salsa landed in a lady's eye.
The lady went mad,jumping about the room,I put my plastic bag into my pocket,but collided with a man.
The bag fell out of my pocket,and I cursed under my breath.
I got down on all fours,trying to find it,"horsey!"a creepy old lady said,looking at me.
I crawled away,the place had taken a wrong twist,and what I saw next was people dumping their food on each other.
I searched relentlessly for my bag,till one old geezer held it,wanting to relive his old days, of being high.
If only he knew that after this,today would be his last day.
He brought out his tongue,I ran and jumped over the tables.
Luck was on his side,I was able to get to him,and grab the bag from him.
I looked behind me to see a party full of rich people turn into a circus play.
Here I was believing that you only saw those kinda things in movies and books,good thing this isn't a book.
I made my escape from the party into the elevator.
I knew his room number,195.
If only he knew what was awaiting him.
His room was slightly opened,which caused me to get startled.
I walked inside,taking off my shoes,walking with my socks.
I could hear some muffled sounds inside,I walked slowly.
It was a huge suite,I was in the living room area,I could deduce that they were sounds of struggle.
Someone beat me to my target!
Shit!
I picked up the pace,and got into the bathroom,he was on the floor, Stark naked,and as once could guess,with his little John standing at attention.
No wonder he stayed inside of his room.
Why the hell would someone want to kill him.
I was glad that he was dead,whomever did this was an angel in disguise.
The window was opened,the killer jumped out,moments before I came in.
I did what any sensible person would have done and took the diamond crested watch on his bed.
I mean,just look at the size of the diamond!
I stuffed it inside my pocket and walked out the door,but looking at the open window,I decided to take a risk and jump off!
Nah! Am just shitting you guys,I walked out the door.
The party crashed!
I tried to locate Joe,but she was gone,I hoped nothing happened to her while she was fighting for me.
**********
The call went through finally.
"Look! The bastard finally decided to call!"JoJo said over the phone.
"Sorry,I was busy"
"What could you ever be busy with?"JoJo asked.
"Just stuff,hey,I need your help with something"
I could hear a lady in the background.
"Who are you with?"I asked.
"You can't just call me... Whenever! And start asking me questions,and calling in favors!"
"This is serious!"I told him,"am with a police officer"JoJo said,answering my previous question.
"What did you do!"
Our past life,his past life rather as a killer was swept under the rug.
Only his present actions could land him behind bars.
"I stole something"he said.
"Why did you steal?"I asked,feeling guilty for kicking him out.
But he was a grown man,with a credit card,he could pull off something.
"Her heart"he said,and I slapped her head with the back of my palm.
"Enough with the cheesy movie one liners!"
"It's the red hair! I found her,and she took me in"JoJo said.
"That's sweet,but do you want to take chances with staying with a cop? You know how nosey they can be,you don't want her digging into your past"I cautioned.
Moving in with a cop,not a good idea.
"What was the important thing you needed me to do?".
"I need you to find out everything you can about Joe,I mean Josephine. My fiancee"I said.
"Going CEO style! Trying to know her background before falling in love!"JoJo exclaimed.
I wondered what the cop would have been thinking,while listening to his conversation.
"No,I feel that there's something off about her,but I just don't know what... yet"
"True,what's making you suspicious?"JoJo asked.
"Am just being extra careful"I said.
I had a call coming in,from Anon.
I answered,dropping JoJo's call.
No one calls Anon,Anon calls you.
"Tonight's report?"she asked.
"Target eliminated"I said.
"By who?"she asked.
Anon never asked about the killer,she must be aware that someone beat me to it.
"I don't know"I said.
"You were assisted today,by your foreign partner, she's already here."Anon said.
I was beaten by a woman!
She sure is nosey as hell.
"Tomorrow you will meet her and get to know the next target"
"Am sorry,but I cannot make it tomorrow"I said.
"Excuse me?"
"Am going to be busy"I said,I heard her cuss over the phone.
"Let me remind you that you failed to complete your assignment! You better not make an excuse,and make me look bad"
I hated being her rag doll.
I remembered what Joe said today."YOU CANNOT JUST TRAMPLE ON PEOPLE LIKE THEY ARE TRASH"
"Anon,may I remind you that am no longer your pawn,am doing you a favor"
I couldn't see her expression,but I could predict her face at this moment.
"Are you talking back?"
"Do you not know that I have the life of your grandad in my hands!"she threatened.
"And I have your image in mine"I sharply said.
"No one can trace me"she triumphantly said.
"No,but they can trace me,and I'll give them everything I know,including photos I took without your knowledge"I threatened.
For the record,I had no evidence,these are just empty threats.
"You're trying to bluff with me"
"Try me Anon,Try me and see for certain.
I won't leave till next week. Give me this week"I insisted.
I could hear her breath over the phone,my stomach tied a knot.
"I'll talk it over with my people,you should thank her,your temporary partner"Anon said.
She disconnected the call.
A text message came in.
The phone number of my new partner.
A picture included.
Damn! She looked like a model.
"Yu Yan..."I said under my breath.
