The Second Unpleasant Meeting.

They all looked at me with shocked filled faces and I smirked. They are probably having doubts. I took off my mask and they all flinched.

"Surprised?" I asked with a tone of mockery. "Well, don't be, did you all expect me to die that easily? Awwn, that's so cute of you to think. And also so cruel of you. You wished for the death of me? The sweetest person alive? How could you?"

I gave a fake cry and I bursted into laughter in no time. Thier shocked filled faces made me laugh the more.

"I'm immortal, death isn't in my vocabulary. Death itself is scared of me."

I stood up from my seat and I dipped my hands in my pocket.

"You see.." I began as I started walking. "It's really sad when you realize that most people wish you dead...isn't that right Seb?" I asked with my breath on his neck and he visibly trembled. "You're probably angry because I'm not dead as people claimed because I killed your grandpa and your father?" I said trailing my hands down his jaw. He is angry and at the same time scared but he dare not act rashly.

"Well, it ain't my fault I killed your father. I did because he wanted to kill his own father and that's not right and also, he was getting in my way."

I walked further round the table studying thier faces one by one. They are all scared to thier pants right now. Pathetic fuckers. I chuckled softly at first and then it increased to a loud crazy one. I don't know why I'm laughing this hard today, I'm not naturally like this. I went back to my seat and I crossed my legs leaning back, swerving from left to right.

"Report now!" I said and they all brought out thier suitcases, bringing out different documents. Well, this should be fun.

          |•AT ARIETTA'S HOUSE•|

I huffed and puffed as I went in my room with Melanie trailing behind me, yelling and scolding and saying all kinds of stuff. I just wanna sleep, I'm really tired. I got in my room and slumped on my bed.

"Are you listening to me at all?" She snapped as she came inside my room.

"I got lost the very time to began your rants."

"Rants? Arietta, you ran away. Why would you do that huh? You got me worried ,I started panicking when your friends called me that you were no where to be found."

"Jeez ,Mel, you need to start calming down okay. I'm twenty one, I can take care of myself and also, I came back home right? I'm safe and sound so don't worry too much, it's isn't good for the baby." I said poutingly rubbing her 6months protruded yummy. This is her third child she's having..

"You just do things that get me worried." She whined and I chuckled.

"I'm fine okay, don't worry too much." I assured and she broke out a smile.

"Take your bathe and come down for breakfast okay?"

"I will."

She patted my back and left my room. I sighed and sat up from my bed. Melanie and her too much worrying. She's such an angel, she didn't know me yet she rescued me from the slumps, adopted me as her sister. Sponsored me throughout highschool and she's still sponsoring me, she gets worried over little things that happen to me and I can't help but marvel at the kind heart she has. I even told her I wanna get a job because I don't wanna seem like a burden on her. She has two kids to take care of and me adding to it might be stressful but no, she told me not to get a job she said when the time comes, I will but not now. I'm graduating art school in a month's time and she still doesn't want me to get a job?

I'll surely get a job, at least to pay her back. Even if I'm not able to do that, I should at least be able to fend for myself and not rely on her all the time.

I got off from my bed and I went to the bathroom. I took my bathe and I came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped round my chest. I walked to my closet and my eyes went to my backpack. I went to it and opened it, that scumbag left a letter but I couldn't read it because immediately I woke up, a chopper came to take me home.

I stared at the paper for sometime before I opened it

    ....Hope you got home safely

                   Handsome stranger.....

I scoffed unbelievably and hissed out loud. I made to tear it but I stopped. It might be useful later.

I wore my dress and packed my hair up before I exited. I went to the dinning and I hummed at the sweet aroma my nose hit.

"Something smells good in here." I said as I sat on one of the dinning chairs. She served my food and I rubbed my hands together excitedly, ready to devour whatever was covered before me. She uncovered the plate and the sweet aroma hit my nose with a bang. I stared at the delicious looking macaroni before me and I oohed.

I dipped my spoon into it and into my mouth it went.

"This is freaking delicious." I moaned as I shoved macaroni into my mouth.

"Told your teacher you're sick so you couldn't make it to school today. You went missing for two days Ari." She said and I nodded

"I bunked at Rick's place. Told him not to tell anyone I was with him."

"Why?"

"Because I needed some peace ya know."

"This Rick guy, you guys dating?" She wiggled her brow at me and I casted her a playful glare.

"Well, I wouldn't say we are but..

"You guys had sex before I presume?"

"Yeah."

"Wow, just...just, that's just wow. Do you even like this guy we are talking about?"

"Well, you see, I once liked him. And you know, he had something for me too but that "thing" we had for eachother wasn't enough. Yeah, he fucks great, he's the best kisser in the world, his finger in my V feels great but...we just don't click that well you know. He's like my best friend."

"Let me guess, he took your V card?"

"Yeah."

"Sigh, look, Ari. I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun, I mean, it's your twenties you should have fun to the fullest but you're also gonna marry one day. You'll soon graduate and get a job and you'll probably have a new boyfriend. You'll have sex with that new boyfriend too and you'll probably break up. Ari I know you, I know you still have up to 10 guys you'll date before you marry. If you date all of them and sleep with all of them....

"Melanie, just because I lost my V card at 18 doesn't make me a whore or an harlot. Who else have I slept with except Rick and that ass hole named Mike? I wouldn't have slept with Mike if I wasn't drunk and you know it."

"I know, don't take it the bad way. I'm just trying to tell you to be careful and not...

"I get it Melanie, thanks for looking out."

She sighed and went silent for sometime.

"Hey, did you see the news today?" She asked and I scoffed.

"What am I? 40?"

"Whatever, but that Red guy has been killed." She said and I stopped the glass of milk in my hand halfway.

"What do you mean?" I asked, gulping it down.

"Well, in the news this morning, it was said that the guy is dead. An officer shot him like..five times in the chest and stomach before he was eventually pushed into the river . I can't believe that guy is dead after all the failed attempts on killing him."

"That's the point! The dude is a god, he doesn't die easily. It'll take more than a decade to kill him..I'm sure he isn't dead."

"Isn't dead? He took almost 5 bullets to the chest."

"Exactly, Red always makes things that ain't possible very much possible. So I won't be surprised if news comes out tomorrow that he's alive." 

"I don't really get it..is that guy an assassin?"

"He's not Mel, he's something more dangerous than an assassin. Rumours are around that he's as devilish as the devil himself, in fact he's the devil. He feels nothing, he's strong and hard as a rock. he cuts quick with his blade and thinks fast unafraid..he..

"Okay quit the drama." She said and I chuckled.

"But seriously, I heard that he's venomous." I said and she hummed. I like that red guy, he was only seen once at a very popular bar and he killed 10men at a time without receiving a bullet and without a scratch on his body.

Police have tried to get his location and have always failed. Surprisingly, he was seen last night and some stupid cop thinks he killed him? It'll take more than a hundred cops to take down that dude. Like I said I like him. Not his personality but I like the fact that he's anonymous and I like his badass nature and also his super cool mask. And his name..RED..ooh, sends shivers down my spines.

                   |•RED'S POV•|

"There's something we saw in one of the treasure houses." Frank said as I took the elevator to my room.

"And what's that?" I asked as we walked side to side.

"Let's keep.going." He said and I nodded. Frank has been my best friend since highschool. He had been by my side form the very day I became a Hitman. We were both partners until I decided to set up my own clan and I became his boss but that doesn't change the fact that he's my buddy. He knows a lot about me and I do too about him. He's like a brother from another mother.

"Tired much?" He asked as we got in and I nodded. I sat on my cushion and he went to behind the fireplace. He brought out a white transparent box and I raised my brow at the puzzle cube that was inside..

He unlocked the transparent box and he picked the puzzle cube. He passed it to me and I stared at it. It looks suspicious, the puzzle cube was disarranged..very disarranged.

"You think you can put it together?" He asked and I nodded.

"I think it's very important so don't let anyone know about this and don't put this somewhere open."

"It's just like you telling me how to do my job." I said and he chuckled.

I started turning and circling and twirling the puzzle, trying to arrange the colours. I did for almost an hour but I didn't get it. Frank has already left and I'm left battling with this puzzle. Whoever disarranged this must be very intelligent.

               |•LATER IN THE DAY•|

                  |•ARIETTA'S POV•|

"Well F you and your stupid restaurant you prick!" I screamed as they banged the door on my face. For three hours I've been looking for a job and all I've been encountering is bad luck. It's either the stupid boss wants to sleep with me, or the good for nothing workers aren't people I'll like to mix with or the pay isn't even worth the trouble. Why can't I just find a job without my pussy being at stake or the pay worth less than the money I get as allowance per day. Gosh ,I need a drink.

I took my bike and I rode to the nearest bar. I got in and I catwalked to the barman...

"Anything to ease my spirit." I said to the over tatted bar man or should I say guy. He winked. Did he just cast me a wink? Rubbish, idiotic creature. I sat on one of the bar stools opposite the bar table and I sighed.

"What are you doing all alone?" Hee asked as he mixed my drinks.

"And why if I may ask are you asking that?"

"Well, a sexy girl like you shouldn't be alone."

"So maybe you can keep me company?" I purred sexily rubbing the back of his palm and he smiled. He's kinda cute if I must say but he's definitely not my type.

"I'll gladly do that." He whispered huskily as he passed me my drink. I took a sip and I smiled as the concotion burned my throat.

"That was goood." I moaned as I took in more.

"Do you know what else is good?" He asked and I smirked before leaning closer, with our heads inches apart.

"What?" I asked seductively, playing with his chain.

"My P man." He said, biting my earlobe and I giggled.

"Really? I bet you wouldn't last 5mins when I ride you." I said in a giggle and he nodded, biting his lips.

"Try me...I can make you feel good." He whispered against my lips. "And moan my name." He said biting my lips softly and I smiled like a maniac. Damn I'm so good and making men look like idiots.

"Didn't know you could flirt." I heard a very familiar voice beside me. I turned my head from the bar idiot to the person that talked. I saw the face of the person and I gasped.

"You...it's you, the crazy wounded dickhead!" I said and he chuckled.

"Ouch." He said sarcastically and I smirked before gulping down my shot.

"More." I said to the idiot and he smiled seductively. Well, he thinks it's seductive while I think it's stupid, ugly and disgusting.

"What was the meaning of the stupid note you left me?" I asked with my gaze glued to the front.

"Well, you're welcome."

I scoffed and poured myself another shot.

"A little girl like you shouldn't be drinking something as strong as this."

"I'm not a little girl prick." I snapped as I turned to face him only to get my eyes collided with a demigod. Why didn't I see this guy's face clearly yesterday? Oh wait, it was dark. This is what I'll call perfection. A special created creature. Look at that sparkling eyes, or is it the flawless skin we should talk about? Oh, look at his perfect sized pointed nose. His lips is super red and tempting. I gulped at the sight of his sexy Adam's Apple. Yeah, I've never seen an Adam's Apple so sexy before. The way it went up and down when he swallowed? Oh my gosh.

"Hey! hey dude." He snapped his fingers against my face and I shook my head and blinked rapidly.

"What?!"

"Well, you were lost staring at this perfection." He said and I hissed..

"Perfection my butt!"

"I will like to squeeze that butt." He said flirtatiously.

"You wish."I said with an eye roll and he leaned closer to my ear.

"Well, make my wish come true baby." He whispered seductively and I pushed him away trying hard not to be affected by it.

"Don't you have something better to do than to act like an asshole?" I asked in annoyance and he shrugged ..

"How about you tell me why you're stuffing your stomach with that." He said pointing to the glass I was holding. I turned to face him and he had a curious face on. Well, it wouldn't kill to tell him right? Besides, I need someone to talk to.

"Well, I went round town looking for a job and apparently, I glitters so bright that scumbags wanna have a taste of me." I said sarcastically and he chuckled.

"They wanna fuck you?"

"That was what I said."

"Well, give them a chance. You don't look like a girl that can oppose to that." He said and anger rushed through my system. What is he trying to say? That I'm cheap? That my coochie is for sale?

"You prick!" I snapped as the glass in my hand collided with his head with full force, turning all attention to me.

"What the heck do you mean by that huh? That I'm cheap? Tell me you fucking bastard!" I screamed furiously hitting his head with a stool. I grabbed a bottle and tried to hit him but unfortunately people came to his rescue and they held me from doing so.

I escaped form thier grip and I casted a glare to the bastard who was looking at me with no emotion.

"Listen bastard, you may deal with a lot of hoes and sluts, you may have fucked a lot of hoes but let me tell you something. Yeah, I'm a bitch but an expensive one, a classy one and the one with pride. And the one who won't think twice before kicking scumbags like you in the ass. You can go fuck your sister you son of a bitch!" I screamed in his face and gave him one last intense glare before picking up my jacket and exiting the bar. That bastard just ruined my night as if not getting a job isn't enough to ruin my day, he had to come. He just had to come..

I rode home furiously, too much for having a quiet night at the bar. I got to my room and slumped on my bed with a thud. I put off my jacket and something rolled down from the pocket. I picked it up and I stared at the card in my hand..when did this get here?

It says..it says Grande Corps...oh my gosh! Grande Corps? How did this end up here? I turned the back of the card and I saw a paper glued to it and it read...

     .....Come Monday with this card...

Oh my gosh, I should come Monday? That's after my graduation. Agggrrhhh!! I'm screaming right now. What if I get to work there? Work in the richest company ever? Oh my ghaaaad..but wait...hollup!

How did this get to my pocket?
