"We have to who this bitch is and what she wants from Demon." That woman glowered at her friend.
"Demon is so silly for trusting her. It's so obvious she is lying." She continued after she took the drink from the counter.
The two friends walked to a empty corner of the pub.
"Candy, you shall calm down. What if she truly is who she says she is? Maybe you're giudicandolamale because of your jel..."
"Don't dare to say it." She raised her voice. "I'm not. I am over Demon. I just don't want this new bitch to get in our crew."
"If Demon decides so there's nothing we can do." The second woman shrugged.
"Why do you worry so much anyways? If that Madisyn dares to betray Demon I'm sure he will make her pay for it."
The two women looked at Skylar and Demon afar, both frowning their eyes whishing they could hear what they were saying.
"I will keep an eye on that bitch anyways." She took another sip of the drink.
"Move on."
"Excuse me?"
"Move on him. You're my best friend. I know you better than you know yourself. Since we moved in this hell of a city we had bonded immediately, we found eacn other because we both were lost. Had no place to go, no place to stay, we had to choce this life because there was no other solution for us. Do you remember that?"
"I do."
"Day by day we got stronger and we learned how to fit in this place. Demon saved us, this fucking shitty city saved us. But them don't define who we are and our value. That girl there may steal our place, our tasks, but she wont steal what we learn, our history and our path here. Demon is giving her trust like he gave us trust back then."
X smiled, "You're fucking right."
"As always." She winked and they clicked their glasses as they giggled.
"To the new girl then. Let's bet on how long she will last. Three months?"
"I say five, that is half how much her sister lasted."
"She seems piutosta than her sister tho."
"Thats why I am sure Demon will test her with a challenging test causing her withdraw in advance."
"You're evil." The woman exploded in a laugh and shook her head.
"Just speaking facts. I would enjoy seeing her fall, that innocent face of her smacked on the ground because she thought she could fit into this world."
The two continued to laugh as meantime Demon and Skylar were still chstting.
When Kandy had left, Skylar asked him who she was and why she seemed so pointlessly angry at her.
"She is angry at women in general. This job is everything she has and she sees in new people a potential threat."
"So she worked with you? I wonder why my sister didnt mention her when she complained about people she ahted."
"Kandy and your sister barely standed each other. Thats why I never made them two work together,"
He raised his hand and gestured to his brother to make him come.
"By the way, I asked my brother to explain you everything for the mission. He cant accompany you becayse the police may have his name and his identity. I dont want to run any risk."
He was wise, the police had few info about his brother.
When Demon's brother reached our table his eyes laid on me as he gave me a light nod.
"Sandro right? We didnt have a good start but I hope we will get along." Skylar attented at a smile but his brother didnt return.
She hoped he would be understanding and forgive her for her unpleasant attitude.
She needed him by her side in order to get closer to Demon's whole family.
He didn't even looked at her straight in her eyes as he turned on his cigarette just like his brother. He had his same hands, his same movents and he closed his eyes in the same way as he inhaled the smoke.
Then finally, he met her eyes.
He stared at her for some instants then he spoke, "I don't know your sister well. I just talked to her few times but she was a good person. I hope you are too. Thought she wasn't a bitch like you but I will givr you trust. Just a little advice I'd want to give you." He frowned his eyes and let some
on the
Smoke escaped from his mouth and invaded Skylar.
He spoke again, "Betray him and I will ruin you." He whispered.
"I heard some rumors." Another break he took from his speech to smoke again. "I heard your sister went to the police to reveal private information. I didn't tell Demon because he would find her and kill her in a eyeblink and I kinda liked your sister. So in case you see her, tell her to escape before my brother get to know."
