Wheels came back into the room and sat down with a big sigh. We all sat in a comfortable silence until Mr gorgeous spoke.
"Could you untie me?"
I laughed in his face and sighed.
"You're an assassin, if I untie you then I'm automatically a dead woman walking."
"Yes, well you may think I work for a man but you know the saying. Behind every great man is a powerful woman."
I scoffed at him,
"Well, I wouldn't know because I have never stood behind a man."
I walked out if the room and into the kitchen, I went to the fridge and pulled out a punnet of strawberries. I tore the green bit off and placed the strawberry in my mouth. It was sweet and reminded me of the homemade smoothies my dad use to make until he died. Bull entered the room and gave me the most sweetest smile I had seen in a long time, Bull and I weren't as close but he was close with the other two.
"You want my advice Cap?"
"Okay."
"Just relax, this is just the beginning. We have spent so long trying to get him, so what is the harm in waiting for a few more days?"
"But what if we can't find him in a few days but in weeks or months?"
"This is what I mean, don't get yourself worked up over something that hasn't happened or you can't control. Also, don't beat yourself up about it. We have the best team of people trying to find him so if that doesn't work then I don't know what will."
He grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and headed to the living room. I didn't know what to do because I needed to find out where he would be next. I walked slowly to the living room and the team were sat down eating and drinking while Mr Gorgeous stared at me.
"I'm going to question him in the back garden, then I will come back. No one disturb us, is that clear?"
They all nodded and I dragged him to the back garden that was lit up with fairy lights and the hot tub was closed.
"So, what are you going to do to me Sophia Upton? Daughter of the deceased Alex Upton."
He knew everything about me and was probably going to make a killing. Literally.
"Well, I'm not sure but I do need information about Marco De Luca. The man who hired you."
"Oh, he didn't hire me."
"Who hired you?"
"Someone by the name Alexander Younger."
I was in disbelief, this man had worked with my father and betrayed him. He was going to have me killed, I didn't want Sir to know that I knew. So, I struck a deal with the assassin.
"If you record yourself saying that Sir Alexander William Younger hired you then I will let you go. On one condition that you don't kill me, if you try I will make you die a slow death."
"Deal, but I will need money to leave."
"How about 100 euros because that is all i have."
"Fine but I need to make it look like I escaped and tried to take you down or my reputation will suffer."
"Lets fight."
I untied him and let him get familiar to his surroundings. He lunged at me so I ducked swiping my leg to make him stumble to the floor. He stood up and punched my jaw and then my nose causing a nose bleed. I grabbed his wrist and twisted it so much it broke and then I slammed him to the floor making him groan and wince in pain. I wiped my nose and smiled.
"You can't fight for anything."
"Yes well I have never fought someone like you Sophia. Enjoy your evening and I will be on my way."
I nodded and went back inside, time to get my acting skills on point. They all looked at me at the same time and no one said anything.
"Are you okay?"
"He got away."
"Your nose is bleeding."
"I can see that Bull, but you should see him."
Bull walked over and wiped my nose, then he gave me a fat wad of tissue roll. We sat down and then Wheels started to reminisce on memories.
"I remember that Try-hard was top of the class in everything but in fighting and martial arts you were amazing. Even the teachers said you could win a fight against them."
"Yes, well I was an angry and stubborn child then."
"Yes well your skill didn't fade away with age did it Sophia?"
"What are you insinuating Wheels?"
"You let him go and I know this because there is no way he is a better fighter than you or I wouldn't have been able to capture him."
I sighed and went to my bedroom, he wasn't wrong but they couldn't know for their own safety. I waited for about fifteen minutes and then decided it was time to sleep. I stood up and went to the drawers and pulled out an oversized t-shirt and leggings, and I got changed. Baddie walked in and gave me the look.
"Yes Baddie?"
"I think Wheels is right, you are hiding something. So, please don't make this difficult."
"It's personal and I have decided it is classified."
Baddie huffed at me and went to the kitchen to have some water. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face; Baddie had walked in some time during this. I heard a muffle and something smash, I slammed open the door and had a mop in my hand. Baddie was being held upright by two men, they had knocked her out. I walked forward and smirked.
"Let her go."
They jumped out of the window with her, and now there were two. I broke the head of the mop off and started to fight with the first man, he had a gun and pulled it out. He pressed it right against my skull and smiled.
"Bet you regret that, don't you?"
"I never lose."
I grabbed the gun swiftly and shot him in the head without a flinch. Why did people underestimate me? The other man panicked and tried to leave out of the window but I grabbed him and pulled him in.
"Who sent you?"
He groaned and Wheels and Bull had just walked in.
"Marco De Luca."
"Tell him I have my army ready to take him down, so he better run because he can't hide."
The man nodded and left. Bull looked at me worried and Wheels started to tidy the room.
"Baddie isn't here."
Bull had said this with anger, sadness and guilt. Mr Gorgeous~ Stage 7 completed but it just got a whole lot more complicated.
