Chapter 31 - DEAL

Diana is still sleeping when her phone starts ringing grrrrrrrr, grrrrrrr.

Diana: Hello!

Santana: Girl, what are you doing in bed at this time of day?

Diana: What time is it?

Santana: Check and see for yourself I thought that is what eyes are meant for ?

Diana: It's just 6:00 am and yet you had to be the one to ruin my sweet dreams. Oh My God I don't know what to call you dad!

Santana: You just called me what you ought to do I have no regrets.

Diana: Okay, what is the reason for this call old man?

Santana: You speak like you will never have kids calling you old as well?

Diana: You mean it hurts you to be called Dad! Are you a girl?

Santana: Why would age bother me when I know I can't control it?

Diana: Then why the sarcasm in your speech?

Santana: I thought living with people who have some morals would change you some how but it seems you are me exactly. Can you imagine I used to work and live with people of high integrity and character but still remained Mannerless, guess it's genetic even your grandfather was( Diana interrupts her father's speech)

Diana: Enough! I don't want to know any ancestral story.

Santana: Okay.

Diana: What is with the call in the morning, I know you can't have called just to check on me so tell me what is the issue?

Santana: Okay, I want you to do mission Burnt at the old house .

Diana: Who is the prey?

Santana: You don't know the person but it seems like this person is likely to threaten my livelihood one way or the other.

Diana: But do you want them breathing and useless or dead?

Santana: You are so cruel gosh I don't regret having a daughter instead of a son.

Diana: Thanks for the compliment.

Santana: I will be waiting for you at 8:00 am.

Diana: How do you think we can pull this off during day time?

Santana: Well to tell you honestly, I would prefer to do my unique work during day because am sure about my safety.

Diana: You say that because you are above the law which is okay.

Santana: Oh , it sounds sweet coming from the blood queen.Its a deal then.

Diana: Yes, it is.

Brief explanation of the mission Burnt .

Mission Burnt is a term used by the drug lord Santana to refer to a possible snitch in the business or a threat to his empire and Diana is referred to as the blood queen because she selects what type of punishment is to be given to such a person.

The Old house is a symbolic term used to refer to the warehouse where all of the necessary torture is to happen.

Diana dresses herself in a black leather pant, black shirt with a black leather coat to get her work started but as she is in the living room walking out hurriedly, she is stopped by Alfred .

Alfred: Did some one die or something?

Diana: Ofcourse not .

Alfred: Are you going to work today all dressed like that?

Diana: Yes, what is your problem?

Alfred: You look so disorganized.

Diana: Thanks. Is there anything else?

Alfred: Yes.

Diana: What is it?

Alfred: Ummm,did I do anything annoying to you yesterday?

Diana: Nothing that I know of.

Alfred: Okay, just wanted to apologize just in case I did something so undeserving to you.

Diana: It seems like you remember some events from yesterday that is why you are curious to know about my opinion but honestly speaking, I don't care about small and petty mistakes.

Alfred: Okay, but can you at least wait for me to get my coat so we go together?

Diana: But you have your car, why mine?

Alfred: Because mine is in the garage.

Diana: I am in a rush and can't wait .

Secondly, I will be coming abit late so don't expect me to show up early at work.

Alfred: Okay, let me ask my mechanic how far he has reached with my car, use yours to get to where you want to.

Diana enters her car and in no time she is at the old house with her father. At the old house, Santana's nick name is Boss and Diana is blood queen however all the two wear masks as a sign of disguise.

Diana enters the room where the prey is and is shocked to see a handsome man with messy hair, blue eyes,an eye catching body that can be seen through his clothes and seemingly expensive so she walks out to meet with the Boss for background information.

Boss: What is it ,have you failed to generate a punishment for him?

Blood Queen: Let's just say I don't like ruining beautifully endowed creatures without a valid reason.

Boss: Okay. His name is Michael Light and he has been following me for quite some time ,basing on the information received, he has been following me around for close to 1 year and a half and am told he is also a National Drug Authority spy that has been trying to gain evidence against my drug empire so as to get me arrested.

Blood Queen: I don't know but his name is quite similar to the famous architect we were supposed to get for our condominium business.

Boss: I am told he has been in the country for some time .

Blood Queen: How long has he been here?

Boss: Just a month.

Blood Queen: Okay, that explains why his arrival to the company has been delayed.

Boss: Who cares?

Blood Queen: So you know, we have to postpone the punishment till the kick off of the business other wise we are likely not to venture in my business.

Boss: I had wanted a light punishment but now that I realize he might want to use you against me then a heavy one will do.

Blood queen: I suggest warning blows to keep him away from the investigation process.

Boss: Are you sure it is to work?

Blood Queen: Yes, it will, leave it to me.

Diana enters the room where Michael Light is seated and with his eyes covered with a dark cloth,, she punches his face , kicks his stomach with her high heel boots and twists his hand till it breaks and tells her men to take him on the road and throw him far away from them and when she is done , she changes herself into a neatly ironed pantsuit and white shirt with her hair all curled up ready to go to work.
