Love of Hitters

Training

"Mom why are there bags?"

" The best way to learn is to do"

I look at her wide eyed

" Your going to let me hit?"

" Yes, and I am doing it with you in Belise"

" Belise?"

She sighs

" If you make a mistake on your territory it is harder to recover from. So we are going off our territory and to Uncle Kades."

" But he hates me"

She sighs

" No he hates your father he is fine with you"

" Um why?"

She laughs

" Your dad tried to kill him for trying to make a move on Daliah"

" Ewe"

She laughs again as we head to the airport we sit on the private jet and she motions me to the table.

" I still don't agree with this Lila"

" I know mom but thank you for giving me a chance"

She sighs

" I am hoping once you see how messed up this life can be you change your mind"

" Why?"

" Because Delilah you can't have emotions, traitor is a traitor and a job is a job"

I raise an eyebrow

" I thought you were a job for dad?"

" No I was an inquiry, look point being you need to learn control of everything"

I nod

" I will mom, and as for the emotions the switch in my brain works wonders"

When we land we head to Kade's he is my moms uncle. He greats us and we go to our rooms my mom wakes me up at 2 am.

" What are we doing?"

" Training, this place is a parcore playground" I watch her jump between two buildings and get to the top of one. I follow and it takes me a little bit but i figure it out. As we keep jumping around it is really tough. But I can do this I want this, I need this.

For the next few days we work on parcore for hours at a time. Three days later my mom takes me to the mall.

" Shopping?"

She laughs

" I saw that pitiful exscuse of an outfit, also to get blood stains out from now on use soda powder. But if you are a Mafia Hitter they launder it for you"

We go shopping and find some skinny jeans and Timbers for me. She takes me to a leather place and I find a beight red leather Jacket and smile trying it on.

" Not very inconspicuous theres sweetheart"

" Maybe that's the point, stand out to fit in"

She rolls her eyes

" Not in this work Lila but if you want a death sentence get it"

I shrug taking it off and buying it anyways, we go pamper ourselfs getting our nails done and having coffee together.

" Your first job is tonight, I am there for backup but I want to see what you can do"

" Okay? I thought you said no more Amis"

" It's not an Ami, this is the real deal no mistakes they make you weak"

I nod and we head back to the house, I am excited I have never done a Pro before. I usually just get the itty bitties from the forum that the real pros don't want.

As we make our way to the job I can't help but shut my emotions out before the excitement gets the best of me. My mom and I climb in the house and make our way up the stairs. The guy is waiting with about 7 goons. My mom just watches as I make my way through them and to the man.

He shoots and hits my shoulder I didn't get it blocked all the way. I spin slicing his throat and then walk away. We make our way out and get in the car I grab my shoulder.

" Son of a b*tch"

" Language Delilah"

" Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I could kill people get shot but still not cuss"

She laughs

" Relax it isn't that bad but Morgan will fix you up"

We get to the doctor and they take the lodged bullet out and cleans my would stitching it up.

" Nice job if this is all you got"

" Um thanks?"

He laughs

" I remeber when your mom came in with a throwing knife still lodged in her shoulder. I was just a student back then but that girl was wild."

I raise my eyebrow

" My mom?"

He nods

" You changed her life, suprised she is letting you do this"

" She isn't happy about it trust me"

The next 8 months is filled with training by both my mom and my dad switching off.
