The car halted right in front of the gate. Lucy got out and moved inside the garage. A whole lot of people were standing there dressed in black robes, and carrying a grim expression.
They all made way for the mafia queen to go inside and bowed. She, however, took no notice of them and went inside the torture room. Reva greeted her with a smile.
"So?", she asked.
"She wasn't actually lying. Only two people knew about the mission ; she and her boyfriend , who works with her. We all tried to bring him here, but he wasn't coming without picking a fight. So, we had to kill him there. The body has been disposed and we blew up the house so that it seems like an accident", Reva, reeled off.
"You killed my b... boyfriend. You killed J..James!", exclaimed Erica, who was lying in one corner of the room.
"It's your fault, he's dead. You shouldn't have told him about me in the first place ", said Lucy, coldly .
"Now, you can do whatever you want. You can call me when you're done", said Reva , as she went outside. She was about to lock the door, but Lucy gestured to leave it open and go. Reva looked surprised for a moment and then went out, leaving the door 🚪 slightly open.
"You thought that you would expose me, the mafia queen. You should have known who you were dealing with", said Lucy.
She took out her gun, and aimed directly at her head.
Suddenly, without warning, Erica launched herself upon Lucy. Lucy was so surprised that she was not able to react, and Erica knocked the gun 🔫 out of her hands.
She placed her hand around Lucy's throat and started to choke her. However, Lucy was much stronger 💪 and wrenched her neck from her grasp and threw her.
"I am impressed", said Lucy ,"You did not have this sort of power when you were fighting me yesterday".
"This is the power of love", said Erica, as she slammed Lucy on the back wall ," You won't understand it, cuz you've never loved anyone have you?".
Lucy's hand was bleeding badly. However, she had no time to attend to her wound , as Erica pushed her into a barrel of water.
When Lucy finally managed to get out, she saw Erica standing in front of her with the gun pointed at her head.
"The least which I can do for James", said Erica, as she pulled the trigger.
Lucy had no time to waste. She kicked the gun from her hands and picked it up. Without wasting a second, she shot Erica right in her head.
She had never felt bad after killing anyone before. A sense of deep remorse and sadness filled her, as she looked at the now-dead girl. She felt a shock move through her as she remembered her last words.
She came out , still wearing a sombre expression on her face.
All the bodyguards who has been standing there were surprised noticing the change in the mafia queen's behaviour but it was quite usual for her to do something unexpected, and nobody had the courage to question her.
She came out ( without even looking at the others )and went back to her car, still pondering on what Erica had said.
