ASSASSIN'S SANITY

CHAPTER 2

Present:

Tami opened her eyes to the dark room. She groaned as she sat up on the bed her captors had so graciously given to her, her head still hurt terribly from the impact the gun made with it. She stood up from the bed and made her way to the steel door before her. She pulled on the handle and realised she was locked in. It was obvious she would be locked up after all they had kidn*pped her, leaving the door open would be dumb. She kicked at the door, banging and screaming but not even a 'shut up' came from the other side.

She was not going to pretend like she did not know why she was here at this moment. It was quite obvious, Jeff was an assassin and now leader of the Inferos Killers and she was his fiancée. She expected the occasional issue of her life being in danger but of all days for her expectation to come to pass it had to be on her wedding day. She could not even begin to hold back her tears as they poured out while she kicked and punched at the door, completely ignoring her bruising hands. She was going to murder who had done this.

Past:

Jeff walked into the club with Steve and Cod. He had just dropped his girlfriend off at the airport with promises to call her soon. He was here for a holiday so as much as he felt pity for her and her mother's accident, he was still going to have some tropical Cuban fun even if it killed him.

“So much s*x appeal in one room” Steve shouted because of how loud the music was “I am looking for a three way tonight” That was Steve for you, the playful always horny man, whose build was dominating but his handsome friendly face hid so much of his true nature. He was the man to have a good time with.

Jeff laughed at his friend's stupidity. He looked through the club and found what he wasn't looking for, the girl from the beach. She was at the other side of the club presently trying to ignore a guy who was hitting on her.

“I'll see you two later” Jeff said to his friends as he began to make his way to the damsel in distress. He made sure to grab two beers on his way to her. Jeff to the rescue, he thought as he made his way towards the bar he grabbed the beers then he went to save the brown skin pearl from the beach.

“There you are babe” Jeff said coming up to Tami and the unwanted male trying his hardest to get her to give him her attention “I have been looking for you everywhere” he handed her the bottle of beer which she took with a smirk, then he turned to the male pest, “Oh hey buddy, thank you for keeping her company”

Jeff took a sip of his beer and waited for the guy to run off.

The guy sighed and went on his way. He did not look like the kind of guy who would want to pick a fight “I did not know I ordered pest repellent.” Tami joked

“It’s on the house” Jeff replied hoping on the stool beside Tami "Just making sure bugs do not bother the pretty lady"

“Hmmmm” Tami hummed taking another sip of the beer. “Are you here alone?”

“You know the answer” Jeff replied “You predicted it.”

Tamara laughed exposing a pair of pearly white teeth. “No I mean did you come with friends.”

“Yes and they are presently trying to get threesomes.” Jeff replied with a laugh looking back at Steve and Cod who were talking to some girls “I pray they succeed”

Tami followed his gaze to his friends who were equally good looking but to her Jeff held the trophies. Both men were making two red heads laugh. “Poor girls” Tami chuckled

“You can say that again.” Jeff added “My friends are my Jack ass role models. I am more of a one woman man.”

“Are you now?” Tamara asked with a smile, she wanted to challenge his position and prove him wrong. She took the last gulp of her beer “I need something stronger.” She announced making her way towards the bar.

Jeff followed her taking the seat beside her. “Four shots please” The bartender went on to pour her shots. She looked at Jeff, taking him all in for some reason she found him desirable biting her lips, she increased her order “Make it eight.”

"Are you trying to get drunk" Jeff rose a brow.

“I am not as light headed as the broads you meet” Tami replied “I hold my liquor like a boss.”

She flipped the braids that were getting in her face to the back and met his gaze following the intense stare, she bit her lip pulling her lip ring into her mouth. Jeff found that attractive once again. It was his way of knowing that she was flirting. At the beach he had not noticed the lip piercing but he had noticed the ears and septum piercing which did little to hamper her beauty. She would be beautiful with or without them.

The bartender pushed the shots to them and Tamara pushed her card to him but her eyes did not leave Jeff's she held his gaze, keeping his attraction to her as a magnet to metal. Jeff wasn’t complaining why would he every part of her was beautiful, from her lovely dark brown eyes, to her plump brown lips, down to her small perky breasts. He was enthralled.

“Bottoms up” Tami said as she picked up the first shot, her gaze still not leaving his. However now it was more of a challenging look doubles with a flirtatious smirk.

Jeff smiled, she was challenging him. It was not to shot match but challenging him to her. Challenging him to see if he could get her by the end of the night. ‘Challenge accepted’

“Bottoms up” He downed the shot at the same time with her.

Three shots each and they were on the dance floor grinding their sweaty bodies together to Drake's one dance. He held unto her slim waist as she moved her small body on his. She knew her way around the dance floor. This was part of the job, Tami assured her semi drunk self as she moved on the dance floor, shaking her bottom and swerving her hips on Jeff.

Jeff was having actual fun as he anticipated the night ending in either of their beds but it was not to be, but sighed as he looked over at his friends who looked like they had gotten into some trouble. He watched as a monstrously built man push Cod who wasted no time in throwing a punch at the bastard. Mr Monster stumbled back Cod was quick with another punch, but Mr Monster’s friends were all in to help. Steve had already gotten behind Cod as support

Jeff contemplated helping them or seeing tonight through, by taking the hot girl home but his friends were his family and they came first. Damn his loyalty compass for showing up now.

“Hey Tami, sorry but,” He began “I need to go.”

“Why?” Tami asked moving away from him a smile still plastered on her tipsy expression. However she found herself oddly unhappy at the thought of him leaving. It was the alcohol, she decided.

Jeff cursed under his breath, for the first time throughout the night he noticed her black, short body hugged dress exposing n****e piercings. He was completely f****d. As he looked at his friend's again they had already begun drawing blood as he could see bruises on Cod and Steve even more the monsters. Tamara's eyes followed him to the action. She bit her bottom lip drawing in her lip piercing as she spoke.

“Go” She said letting the lip free “Kick some ass and find me later.”

Tamara would have sworn the last three words came out because of her job but it did not, there was another reason why she said it. She actually wanted him to find her again.

Jeff smiled “Absolutely”

He made to run off but he came back and pulled her to him. He gave her the most breath taking kiss she had ever experienced. Tami felt her insides turn and her toes curl. This was part of the job, she had to remind herself because his lips on hers were too intoxicating. He pulled away looking into her eyes. Jeff felt exactly the same way she did, he felt amazing.

She licked her lips chuckling “Go, you friends need you.”

Tami watched Jeff run off. She ran her hand over her braids, why did he have such an effect on her. Taking a deep breath she turned and left.

The fight took a toll for the worse that night as it was Jeff and his friends against four of the other man's friends. The police came and everyone ran off.

Present:

Tami’s eyes opened as she felt light evade the room. She watched a man walk into the room with a tray of food. The man thought she was still fast asleep as he dropped the food on the floor and made to leave. Tami saw her opportunity, his back was to her and his gun was peeking out of his trousers. She stood up from the bed and grabbed the gun pulling it out of his belt.

The man pushed her away sending her flying to the bed and the gun to a different direction. Tami was however not backing down without a fight. She stood up being small was always a gift. She jumped on the goon using her nails to claw at him. Once again he threw her off him but this time in the direction of the gun. She picked up the gun and made eye contact with the goon.

“f**k you” She let herself pull the trigger. She had shot him in the stomach, this way if he got help fast there was a possibility he would not die. She made to leave the room but was met by a dark haired woman spotting blood red lip stick and before she could raise the gun up she tranquilised her.

“For f**k's sake I just want to get married” Her words came out slurred as she fell to the ground and made her way to sleep.
