In the shadows, there was a man in casual clothing wearing a sunglasses to hide his eyes. At first, he was shocked to learned of the girl's name.
Annalissa Winters.
The name was unfamiliar to him when the man named 'Zachary' said it. But what's more weird that information of her family background was completely gone. Like it never existed. There was two circumstances if this happen, one is when her identity is completely protected by the government or that she doesn't exist. Which is unlikely.
Now he's hot on their tail in the theme park determined to find out the mystery of her identity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Annalissa was sitting in the roller coaster in the middle with Alec and Maria at both of her sides each while Xavier was at the front with Sheila by his side. It was accelerating if she could put it right. But her expression is only her slightly parted lips. No screaming or shouting in fear, just silence. When they got off, the 3 rode different rides one after another until they got hungry. Satisfied but hungry.
So they decided to eat something while they meet up with the others. The children were all eating a hot dog sandwich and some cold drinks while Annalissa and Xavier was drinking a cold drink. In the corner of eye, she finally saw the subject of her uneasiness. She tapped Xavier's arm, gaining his attention as she took a paper from her pocket and wrote on it.
'We're being followed.'
Xavier was taken aback by her words, but was cautious when he mouthed "How?"
'The man with sunglasses in the seat 2 rows back.' Xavier took a peak but was pulled by Annalissa's hand on his arm."Why would he-?"
Then it suddenly hit him. Zachary.. No wonder he thought it was too quiet these days. It had to be his doing. "What should we do?" he wan't experienced in being followed in daylight. His expertise in the dark night, unlike the girl before him.
'The guys are on their way here, be on guard but don't let him catch you. We'll play along until we leave.''
So through out the day, they play safe by letting him follow them, they didn't breathe a word to Alejandro and the rest but they somehow found out due to the air that Annalissa had changed from slack and bored to alert and cautious.
But when they were out of the theme park, that was a different situation. The kids got in the car with Milliana, Henry and some boys while the rest stayed hidden. The had two SUV so the man of course followed it. And that's when Alejandro grabbed him by behind.
But he expected it, so the man twist around and sent a punch to the jaw to Alejandro. A few struggles done when the rest excluding Xavier and Annalissa jumped on him. Xavier sweat dropped on the scene while the guys finally caught him, though knocking him unconscious as a result. Thinking was this all necessary?
This reminded Xavier of the first time he met Annalissa and the Black Blood gang.
Ah.. Good times.. Good times that had him being threatened by his mother who has a glare as scary as the anime 'Fairy Tail' 's Erza Scarlet that his sister watches. He'd be damn if he doesn't admit that he's afraid of his own mother.
So they went to the mansion, for reinsurance they brought Elise and Sheila for the evening in case. So here they are, the man was tied to a chair in the center of the living room with Annalissa, Xavier, Alejandro and Henry with a couple on guys from the theme park while MIlliana and Elise took the kids to the game room with some guards with them.
Let's just say, there's never a peaceful day here if you're involved with the Black Blood gang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the man woke up, he realized he was tied up and was being surrounded by the people who caught him. Sure he noticed that he had be ratted out but he never expected that he would be ganged up by at least 5 men. Did they had this many people when they came? He had no idea.
Now he payed his price by not counting the men from before. Before him was the girl that was his target, a few feet behind her was a teenage boy who was frowning while the older men behind them wore expressionless faces.
Xavier was frowning all the way when he saw the scene before him, it was way too similar to his experience, minus the being tied up part. That's when Henry decided to start his interrogation. "Who are you?" The man only scoffed, clearly not answering him. Henry sighed and tried again.
"Who are you?" only silence was his answer. "Tough luck." he muttered to the man as he backed away. The nice approach was rejected and now they had to do it the old fashion way. Annalissa stood up from her seat and loom above the man with a bored expression.
"You know we're the Black Blood gang right?" he ony nodded in confusion, where were they getting? Then Annalissa went out and back with a gun in her hand, back to the position as before. She aimed it at his head, still had her bored expression on.
Okay.. Xavier thought. I take it back. This is far, far worse. He had fear for the poor man that was tied up, even though he trailed them like a stalker and was surely intent on killing them. But the man wasn't believe that a small girl like her was really going to shoot.
"You're kidding me right? You? A mere girl threaten me? Did you all lost your mind?" The man finally talked, but not the way they wanted. They all held their breath when Annalissa shifted her gun and shot.
It fired just a few millimeters near his ears to the wall behind him. If he hadnt shifted his head away, he would've lost an ear! Holy God.. just what he got himself into? He need to raise the pay with that Zachary guy if he survive..
Annalissa who wore a bored expression was now frowning. She was insulted that she was looked down upon. But she half expected it, most of them said the same thing when they saw her. Even if all different guys did the interrogation before her. They feared her the worst. Why? No one would dare to tell, well most of them were dead anyway so who could tell?.
She bent forward so they were face to face, her mismatched eyes were somehow scarier within close range. "You know.. I was teached in medical about vital points and where it hurts. And I'm not talking about the one down south."
He blinked at her, "Yeah...?" he was unsure if he would like the answer. A small, cruel smile was presented to his thoughts
"So I can break all your bones without even killing you. Want to test it out?" He gulped, not once in his hitman life he had feared someone like he feared her. But he wasn't going to show them the satisfaction though, so he showed defiance. That made her smile a little, little wider. But that smile made all the members in the room to shiver in fear.
"Then let's do it." She motioned them to back away from him while Alejandro patted Xavier's shoulder. Xavier looked at him in fear for the man. Though he was a ruthless fighter on the streets, he didn't believe in torture.
"It's necessary for you to be safe so don't hold her to it." Just as he finished, a shot rang around the room with a gagged grunt. Good thing she had a silencer on.
"Who are you?" She asked in a cold tone. A grunt of pain was all that she received. She had shot him at his leg. Then the other. Then a couple more he dare not say until he finally spoke.
"Alright! Alright! I'll talk." he called out when both his hands and legs were so full of pain. Some blood even trickled to the floor, thank god they moved the carpet away. It'll be hell to wash if it was stained.
"Who are you?" she still hadn't lowered her gun but he had already sighed in defeat. "I'm Kevin Rodrigruez" Henry blinked.
"The famous hitman? Why are you here?" he asked. He sighed, mumbled something about 'pay wasn't worth it' Annalissa motioned for a medic to patch him up while they talked.
"I was asked to kill Miss Scary who shot to torture there." he nodded to Annalissa who back away from him and to Xavier's side who didn't mind. Even though he did saw some gruesome things..
Well they were patching him up now so it's fine.. he guess?
"Oh.." was the only intellectual reply they had. They didn't deny it though because it was the truth. He only grumbled at the truth of his sarcasm. Henry cleared his throat, breaking the silence.
"Why did you take this job and from who?" he asked. Kevin hesitated but spoke anyway.
"I was told that Girly here is someone in this gang, and she would know about my brother's murder. And to who.. I don't know, I know he goes by 'Zachary' though." he confessed. They fell into silence again until Alejandro cursed loudly.
Really loudly.
"That damn bastard. He hired this a famous hitman this time?" he cursed again. Kevin only took a look at their expression to know the guy he was hired by was in their blacklist.
"Umm.. Can you answer my questions now?" he asked while Alejandro cursed for the third time until he finally stopped, all their attention shifted to him. After a moment, Annalissa nodded, much to his relief.
"Why was the information about you is gone?" he asked. Annalissa for once looked taken aback. Xavier only looked between them before asked, "Gone?"
Kevin nodded. "Yeah, gone. Like she never existed. Why?" Annalissa was silent until she spoke. "That is not of your business." Earning a glare and protest Kevin shouted. "You said you would answer my questions! "
"I just nodded at your reasoning. I never said I was going to answer it all." she gave him a blunt look. Kevin scoffed but didn't reply, instead, he asked another question.
"Alright. Then last question. Who killed my brother? " they all gave him a blunt look until Henry asked. "Who's your brother? "
Kevin gave each of them a hardened gaze before spilling their name they least suspected.
"Kennedy. Kennedy Rodriguez ." Then a dreaded silence took over them. All, including Annalissa except Xavier stared at him with wide eyes..
Oh God. Alejandro thought. What had God did to make this happen?

Annalissa: (glared at Xavier) Shut up! I'm interrogating here!
Sheila: (pulled on Milliana's dress with Maria by the sidelines ) What's interri-huh?

Anyway, sweet revelation. The plot thickens! Now for my ending credits that everyone is surely to used to seeing.

Milliana: Wait! (Stops the interrogation and the credits ) Lisa! I need your cooking skills again!
Everyone in the room: huh?
Milliana: Shush! You can bloody murder him later for all I care! I have a new recipe I need you to cook.! (Starts dragging Annalissa away from the room)
Annalissa: (shrugged while bring pulled) *no use fighting.. She'll drag me no matter what.*
Everyone in the room, including the prisoner sweat dropped at the scene. Including the author who wrote this..
Umm.. Can I start now?
Kevin: Wait!
What?
Kevin: What did the lady mean she needs Miss Horror there to cook?
Xavier: (blinked at Kevin) You changed her name again. But what did she mean by that?
One of the boys who's not been named: She cooks massively great! It's like heaven! I never thought she can cook like that!
Are you done?
Everyone nodded.
Then no more interruptions?
Nodded again.
