The Billion's

Chapter 11

THIRD PERSON POV

Iva was walking towards her locker. It has been a long day. As she opened her locker, Ash came up next to her talking on her phone.

"It's going to take you 2 hours to get here and pick me up?"

Ash paused.

"Ok. I will see if I can get a ride home. If I cant I will be waiting for you." Ash ended the call and then opened her locker.

"Oh hey, Iva?" Iva smiled.

"Hey what's going on?" Ash sighed.

"Nothing much. Since my brother is gone, my mom was going to pick me up and now she can't be here for another 2 hours. So I need a ride or I wait."

Ash stopped to put her stuff away and then turned to Iva.

"Are you free to give me a ride home?" Iva nodded.

"I would be glad to." They both closed their locker and walked to the car.

In the corner, Azarova was watching, observing and determined whether to proceed with her plans or not. Azarova knows that this is such a dangerous mission for her.

She's been through a lot but never in her life, she will have to make a public kill. Not to mention she's the sister of the most notorious drug lord.

Iris was known worldwide. The way she easily conquers an empire showed how much she learned from the best. Azarova's aunt, Jasmine promise her that she will make sure her family safe back in Russia if she followed whatever her aunt says.

Azarova walked away when she noticed Iva and Ash walked outside. She reached for her phone out and waited for someone to pick the phone up.

"Do it now." Azarova hangs up and smirks. Iva opened the door and Ash went inside the car. On the way home, they were talking about their weekend plans when Ash noticed Iva became distracted.

"Iva?" No answer.

"IVA?"

"Oh sorry. I was just..." Iva stopped and looked in her rearview mirrors again.

"What is it Iva? You are very distracted all of the sudden." Iva still didn't say anything.

"Iva should I be concerned about something?" Iva looked at her.

"I'm sure its nothing." Iva turned in the opposite direction of Ash's house.

"This is the wrong way Iva." Iva made a couple more random turns. After making sure of the trouble that's coming for them, she called for Iris on the cars telephone system. After 3 rings Iris picked up.

"Iris I think I have a problem." Iris was on alert immediately.

"What is going on?"

"We are being followed by a black SUV with at least 3 maybe 4 guys in it."

"I have your location. I am on my way. Just keep driving and stay on the main roads. Don't get cornered. I will be there in less than five minutes." Iva pushes the button to end the call.

"So that is what is going on? Someone is following us?" Iva nodded.

"Yes but Iris will take care of it. All we have to do now is to keep driving. I don't think they know we are on to them."

Iva kept driving until her sister pulled up next to her. Iris called her again.

"I am going to pull between you and the SUV. When I do, I want you to get yourself out of here and go home. But stay on the phone with me until you get there."

"Ok, I will." Iris backed up and inserted her car in between them. She slowly pushed her breaks.

"Go now Iva. I will block them." Iva stepped on the pedal and turned to head to their house. Iris kept cutting the SUV off so that it could not get to Iva.

"Iris another SUV just pulled behind us." Iris pulled out of the SUV's way and began following it.

"I am letting them lead me back to you. We will have to take them out. Drive to the old warehouse in the downtown area. Let us get them cornered." Iris looked down on the passenger seat before focusing on the road again.

Iva made her way to the warehouse. She was taking it easy, leading them there until a man from the SUV pulled out a shotgun.

"Iris he just pulled a gun! What do I do now!"

"You are almost there. Don't let him get a clear shot. We need to go through with the plan. I am almost back to you." Iva was driving all over the road.

"Careful Iva."

"I'm just trying to keep us alive here. Hold on." Iva pulled into the parking lot.

"Ok, Iva just drive all over the lot. I will take care of them." As soon as they at the lot, the guy begins firing his gun.

Ash screamed when a bullet hit the back of the car.

"IRIS WE CANT STAY IN THIS LOT! THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US!" Iva yelled as she trying to stay alive.

"Trust me Iva. Now that we both have an SUV behind us, I want you to drive right at me. When I give you the signal, turn your car to the right and then out of the lot again."

Iva was very skeptical but she did as told. She was driving right at her sister. Iris and Iva made eye contact. Just before they crash, Iris yelled.

"NOW!"

They turned their wheels on the opposite direction from each other to avoid collisions. Just as Iris turned her wheel, she threw something that looked like a small bomb that exploded as soon as it hit the ground.

The bomb blinded both drivers of the SUV's causing them to hit head-on. As Iris looked back at the exploding car that resulted in the death of everyone in the car, she laughed.

"I am sure Satan is pleased with my action right now," Iris said to her sister.

"How's your first car chase? Fun right?" Iva was relieved it's all over.

"Take Abigail home and then go straight home. I need to find out what I can about the wreckage before the police come. I'm sure the police are informed by now." Iva drove off.

"Thanks, Iris."

"Any time little sister....."

Watching her sister's car gone from view, she got out and walked around the burning cars. She tilted her head when she noticed one of the men who tried to kill her sister were thrown out of the car.

"You alive? ... I guess not." Iris checked his pocket and inside jacket for something that could lead her to the person in charge.

Nothing.

She looked around again and noticed a slightly burned phone. She took the phone and went back to her car. Iris leaned on side of her car and waited for her wife patiently. She watched as the police on the scene instantly. She smirked at the police.

"I hope you manage to find the evidence?" Blanche said when she arrived.

"I did." Iris showed her the phone.

"I will ask the guys examine this," Blanche said.

"Why are you smiling?" Iris turned to meet her wife.

"Iva call me for help. She calls me directly." Blanche looked at her weirdly.

"This is a good thing because?" Iris sighed.

"She talks to me, babe. I'm so happy right now I don't even feel guilty about killing those bastards." Iris and Blanche put on their sunglasses when more police showed up.

"Let's go home. We have a lot of stuff to do.." Iris said and entered her own car. Blanche went to hers and went home.

Iva turned to Ash who's just sit there in silence.

"I'm sorry.." Iva said.

"That's okay. It's just... Man, I nearly died there." Ash nervously laughed. Iva turned the car and sighed.

"That's why I'm sorry. I really am. I mean you have to witness my sister... Kill them.." Ash touched Iva's hand on the wheel.

"It's ok. I can put it at the very far end of my memory." Ash smiled but it never reached her eyes.

Iva stopped in front of Ash's house and thanked her for getting off the car. Iva got off and apologized yet again.

"I'm sorry!" Ash turned.

"It's fine. But you do have to buy me food tomorrow." Iva nodded. This time, Ash smiled and it does show in her eyes. Iva got in and drive back home.

"I don't like to be kept waiting. Especially waiting for some women." Slasher said to his right-hand man. But before he could answer the women he was waiting for stepped in.

"This 'women' can make you a very rich man if you play your cards right," Iris said as she walked in looking like she owned the place even though she's in Slasher's territory.

"Do you really think you can just walk in here any time you want and make demands? I don't even know who you really are. You never even given me your name and you want me to trust you and let you interfere with my business?"

Iris clicked her tongue, clearly annoyed by him.

Slasher was the big time gangster that everyone fears. He made himself well known to everyone by random assassination just to warned his enemies.

He would have the people who owed him brought to his place and then he put 5 deep slashes in their abdomen. Thus, his name.

For Iris, she's the mysterious drug lord. She's famous for her calming antics and how kind she can be towards others who owed her. But when she had enough, she doesn't care if the person owed her thousands or millions ... the only answer for the then would be death.

"Everyone quiet! Now that everyone is here, we can start discussing our strategy. Why do we have to listen to what a woman has to say? This is a men's world you interfering, missy." Slasher chuckled.

Slasher had invited his business partners when Iris wish to see him and the others.

She wanted to expand her business and the best and quickest way of doing that is to meet up with these low life gangsters who think they own the town but in reality, she could wipe them off from the very face of the planet and nobody would even know or care.

It’s what she planned to do eventually but for now she needed to play nice. This was getting hard for her to do since Slasher can be a d**k and obviously sexist.

He thought everyone worshiped him when in reality, they all hated him. Iris sat back listening to him degrading women for the last 15 minutes. Telling how he raped a client's teenage daughter after he didn't get the money that he owed.

She knew he was trying to put her in her place. He was trying to show who's boss but she was losing patience.

"Now I know 'the women' want to just share information and clients but that isn't going to fly. I'm the boss around here and I will make the rules. Besides if she really was any good at what she did, she wouldn't need me now would she?"

That was the last straw.

Iris pulled out her gun that she kept hidden in around her waist and shoot the man who seems to be having some trouble shutting himself up.

The bullet went through Slasher's right shoulder.

"Now that I have your attention I am going to tell you what they call me." Iris stood up from her seat and touched Slasher's bleeding shoulder.

His bodyguards all had their guns on her but Slasher raised his hand.

"My name is Iris but they call me a killer. Do you want to know why?" Iris leaned into his ear.

"Because I don't s***h people to warn them, I KILL them. I don't send little messages or have the need to rape the innocent. The guilty pay for their inadequacy with their lives. That is why I am rich." She turned to the others who stare at her with wide eyes.

"People who come to me aren't playing games. They come to me for business. I have the richest clients in town and they respect ME!" She turned back to Slasher.

"I don't need you but YOU need me. Unfortunately, for you, you lost your chance to be part of this and I don't give second chances."

Iris took out both of her guns and before anyone had the chance to respond she had taken out all of Slasher's bodyguards and she put a bullet right between their eyes.

"You will only get in the way of things." Iris grinned when she placed the hot tip of her gun on Slasher's head. When she pulled the trigger, she watched as pieces of Slasher's rain fell on the floor.

The rest of the men in the room stood up from their seat, surprised at how crazy this woman in front of them can be!

"Now..." Iris turned and smiled at the others.

"Either you all work for me or receive the same fate as him, your call." They all kneel. Iris smirked.

"Good choice.." Iris turned to her men.

"Burn this place to the ground. Not even a single ashes of the dead remain. Understood?" They all nodded. Iris keep her guns away and walked back to her wife who's waiting patiently outside.

"There's a new leader in town and no one can say anything about it.." Iris said and went inside the car.

AZAROVA'S POV

"USELESS!" I screamed and slapped Bykov's face.

"I'm sorry miss. We didn't know Iris will come.." Bykov said, spitting the blood from his mouth. I grabbed his collar and glared.

"Jasmine will kill us.." I said through gritted teeth.

"The police know about this! HOW DO WE EXPLAINED TO JASMINE!" I yelled at his face. I head bud his head and let him fall.

"Azarova... Relax... She won't know." I turned to Valya.

"Why?"

"Because I f**k the chief. He won't press charges." Finally. Some good news.

"But he mentions about don't mess with the Billion's. They all influential in this town."

I don't care anymore. My mission is to kill Iva and that's what I'll do. I went to sit on the chair and crossed my legs.

"I hate high school. I want to end her fast. There's a reason I quit school." I said to Valya.

"Don't worry little sister... She will not be alive long enough." We both started to laugh. This mission will be fun. They don't call us the Makarovna twins for nothing.

Our father was the best hitman the world has ever seen. Since we both can walk, he's been training us to be like him. At the age of 6, we know how to use a gun.

By the age of 8, we both kill hundreds of man and woman. We will not let amateurs beat us in this line of work we've been introduced to since birth!

"My resources said they will go to St Maarten for the summer." I started to say.

"Good. We can go and end her there." Valya said.

"I have better ideas than that. All you have to know about her now is that she will die." Valya smiled.

"Azarova... I like the way you think..."

"Dating the senator's son has its perks. Not only he gave me access to use his men, but also his wealth." Valya looked at me weirdly.

"What are you planning Azarova?" I smiled.

"Something that requires a lot of liquid." Somebody knocked on the door and I kicked Bykov's body. He started to stir.

"Open the door," I command. He groaned and stood up. He opened the door to reveal Ivan.

"Azarova baby. I miss you." This old geezer made his way to me. I try my best to smiled and let him lifted me up and kissed my lips. I can smell his revolting breath and vodka. I pulled away.

"You've been drinking." He laughed.

"You like my vodka breath." I pushed his face away.

"Why are you here?" I asked him. He put me down and sit on the floor. Valya chuckled.

"Valya told me you're in high school again." I glared at my sister.

"It's for a job." He looked at me with his brown eyes.

"Okay. I understand. I'll be going to Ibiza for a party. Join me please." I looked at Valya and smiled.

"How about we go to St Maarten. They say it's amazing there." Ivan looked at me and my sister skeptically. He nodded and smiled.

"I will enjoy every second of it." I pushed his hair back and cupped his face. "Oh, baby you will have the best time ever..."

I leaned and kissed his lips. He pulled away and laughed at Bykov.

"What happens to your face man?" Ivan asked. Bykov just stayed silent.

"You did that?" I nodded. Ivan laughed and hugged me.

"What a strong girl..." Ivan kissed me and I asked my sister and Bykov to walked out of the room...
