The demon of rage growled and snarled inside me. He was so furious, knuckled white, steam out the ears. When I lunged myself out of the water and held onto the dock for dear life..i let those snarls and growls out. I used my knife as something to hold onto while I hoisted myself up and out of the water. Steam danced off of me while I rung out my hair and snatched my knife up, shoving it into its holder. “You'll regret that..” I muttered with anger as I took off my boots and poured the water and seaweed out. I held my boots while I walked into the forest and looked for a road…

I found my way to the road and started my dripping wet uncomfortable walk. A car pulled up next to me. I looked over and he rolled the window down, “need a ride?'' I looked down at myself. “I'm all wet '' I said blandly. He shrugged, “I got some towels, where are you heading?'' I got in and he handed me a towel from the backseat. “Gotham '' I said. He nodded, “alright cool it's on the way!” I set my boots next to me while I dry myself off the best I could.

The drive was long and god i wish i never expected. His music sucked, he talked alot, and the car was so crowded. I got out the first stop I could. “Thanks for the ride, I'd pay you the gas money but uhm..like you know” I showed myself soaking wet. “It's cool!” he said and drove off. Wow, I thought.

I walked into town and kept my head down. I got into my house and smiled. “Hello my bride” I said to my bed as I plopped down on it. I heard the front door open. Nooooo I hopped up and looked through the bedroom door. Penguin? What's he doing here? I shadowed him. I crept down the stairs and I came up behind him and covered his mouth. When a knife came flying my way I caught his wrist. “Not so fast, old man,” I said and let him go. “Oh it's just you,” he said, relieved. He knew I wasn't dead. He was going to be the only one for a while too. “Thought you were someone else, i just got here” i said. He examined me. “I can tell..” he said. I rolled my eyes, “I had to take care of some trouble before I came back.” I have changed in the past year, 7 months and 14 days. I was taller, leaner, stronger, and had scars all over. I made myself into a man. It hurt like hell too. I hated being considered weak..it sucked. So I did what I knew best. Train.

The penguin sat in the living room looking over blue prints and other stuff like files on people I would have to put to sleep. I came down the stairs after my shower and rested the towel on my shoulders after I dried my hair. My black tank top complimented my muscles that I was very proud of. And then regular old PJ pants. I sat down next to the penguin and saw what he was planning. “Ok i see, i sneak in through the back, play hello titty with the guard and then..i trailed my finger over a line he made to an office. What if its locked?'' I said. He looked at me. He stared at me. I laughed, “oh yeah” and held up my lock picker. He pinched the bridge of his nose and I just laughed.

After an hour of planning I rubbed my temples with frustration. “Ok so i…i go to the back, i wear red and play with the guard, i get past the guard with a syringe. I sneak to the office. I pick locks. I get the files..and I go out the window?" I said, pinching my bridge. He nodded. “Yes exactly.” I looked at him, “I'll be wearing heels…NOT GRAPPLING BOOTS.” I said pulling on my hair. “Don't yell at me! I have what you need.” he gave me a box. How did I not notice this next to him? I opened it and there were beautiful black pump high heels…and on the bottom had grappling, but you can't tell unless you really looked. “I apologize,” I muttered. “Apology accepted,” he said.

That night I put my heels on in the car and I walked inside. My red lace and silk dress hugged me while the slit up my thigh said things they shouldn't have. My eyes were painted to pierce and kill. I walked to the guard and dropped my perfume. Then I realized..I dropped the wrong perfume. I bit my lip with anxiety. The doctor? Make a mistake? ME!? I walked over, “excuse me sir '' I said with an elegant voice. He eyed me. “Yes?” i pointed, “i dropped my perfume, and my husband is waiting for me…in the bedroom” i fake blushed. He looked down at me. “Ok?'' I clenched my jaw. “I need to get by you '' I said. “No. no ones allowed.” Mr. Rage my demon growled with anger. I smiled and pulled him by his tie closer to my face. “Good night '' I whispered and then kissed him. His eyes rolled back and passed out. I grabbed my perfume, and ran up the stairs. I went to the door and opened it. Not locked..weird. I walked in and regretted not checking.

An arrow shot at me and I ducked down quickly and threw my knife out of reaction. I looked to see it was the wolf. He looked at me shocked, I stood and straightened my dress. I went and grabbed the files. “Doc..” he said. I grabbed my knife from the wall and walked up to him. “Good night, wolf” I kissed him and he passed out. I closed and locked the door. I opened the door, and climbed out with my files and knife.

I got into the car. I sat there and gripped the wheel. I sighed and started the car, I put it into reverse and drove home. I got to my mansion, and I walked into a blood bash. I dropped the files and knife. “Oh my god..” I slowly walked in, “penguin..?” I asked quietly. I walked into the kitchen to see him sitting in a chair holding his wound. The blood everywhere. My eyes flashed around and tears spilled. I ran to him and fell to my knees. “Dad..” I said with tears in my eyes.

He coughed and held his wound. I felt like a kid again..I rested my head on his lap and cried. “Dad..” he wouldn't want me to help him. He wouldn't want me to take this moment away from him. “Please just let me help you” I said with tears streaming. We already had this talk..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The memorie…

“Sam, you cant save everyone and everything y'know” he said while sitting in the boat casting his road. I sat there cleaning the catfish for dinner tonight. “I know..but I want to help who I can when I can..” he sighed. “If it comes to me…don't save me ok? Whatever I did to deserve it…let it happen." I went to argue, “but-” he cut me off. “No ‘but’s’.” he caught me off guard. I looked down while cleaning the catfish and while I did I cut my hand. “Ow!”...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present…

I held my hand and looked down at the scar. “Ok '' I whispered. When I looked up he had his hand on my head and..and his eyes were closed. I looked back down and closed my eyes. I clutched my hands..my hands were white. White with more than rage. Rage was in his cage shivering in his boots. Now…now it was me. Me and me only. I screamed at the top of my lungs and held my ribs. You did it…you poked the bear. I got up and wiped my tears. No time for crying. Not yet.

I dug a grave and laid him to rest. I laid my favorite combat knife on his chest so he’d have protection from all of his enemies. I buried him and then I stood there for a while. I stood over him while tears slowly went down my face. I wiped them away and then I went and grabbed my computer. I checked the camera's and watched. I watched and stared. Nothing. They were out.

I had a new mission. It wasn't to find out who wanted me dead. Now I had to find who killed my father. I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall. I slowly curled into a ball and then I remembered. I remembered him taking me home after my fake death. I remember how he took care of me. I remember it all..i remember every hug and every story he read. It reminded me of when I was a little girl and he would take care of me when I was sick..my mom was too drunk to take care of me.

I opened my eyes and I got up. I paced around the house, I pulled my hair and picked at my lips and nails. Where do I start? Where do I end? Where's the middle? How? Who? When? Where..? I went to the files and sat down. No, I got up and I knew what I had to do to clear my mind. I grabbed bleach, I grabbed a scrubbing tool and I grabbed all kinds of cleaning supplies. I poured a bunch of stuff into a bucket and then I put my hair up, put rubber gloves on, and then I started scrubbing. I had a hazmat mask on while I did this too. It stung my nose while I scrubbed the blood off the floor. I scrubbed and scrubbed. I blacked out, when I regained consciousness my house was clean. I ran out the bloody rag and poured the blood into the bathtub and I started scrubbing the tub.

After a while I sighed softly while snapping the gloves off. I pulled the mask off and I stood up. I looked at the water Fosset, and I groaned. “Shower won't hurt.” I said to myself and while I was in the middle of taking my shirt off I heard something downstairs. I walked out of the bathroom and looked down at the main entrance and main part of the house. I looked down with judging eyes while the assassins looked up at me. “Welcome. Just let yourselves in, "I said. They looked up with eyes like they saw a ghost. “Yes I'm alive, yes Penguin is dead. And yes i called you all here” i said walking down the stairs like i was a god. Technically I was, if you really thought about it. One move, one click of a button and one tick of my tongue. Everyone in this room would be dead besides me.

Everyone looked at me. They’re shocked that it was already over. “Weapons will not be pulled on me. and if so, you get a needle to your neck” I smiled and held up my most known weapon by any assassin or anyone who's wronged me. The syringe. “So go over the basics.” the wolf said, crossing his arms, a little mad about that i was alive. “We know very little. We know that the scorpion is dead and after his death, mr. huncho came along and tried to kill me. We got as far as, we think someone in his household killed me. Wife, son, daughter, dog. Doesn't matter. Someone in that house wanted me dead and we’ll find out who. “

We sat in the living room looking at files. Looking for anything. “Ok so, we found out it was the household how..?” the viper asked curiously. “Grab that file” i pointed at it and he handed it to me, i flipped through the photos and files. “Ok see this?'' I held up a photo of a bullet. “Ok look at this embroidering” it was of a scorpion with a rose in its claws. “Ok look there customized. And only he had these bullets. So when his enemies were killed and the mortician pulled out the bullet. You'd know who killed him and you'd know to lose the bullet as fast a possible. If you snitched on him he's gonna use that same bullet to kill you.'' The hornet looked over at the evidence. “Hey..you guys see that initial?'' I looked closer and then grabbed a magnifying glass. “Is..is that a Mrs.S?'' I said and gave it to the hornet, then the wolf, and viper crowded me to look as well. “Dang!'' I said, giving them the paper and squeezing out.

We sat outside in the van, I was getting dressed while the others sat in the van. I put in my ear piece and then I made sure this time the ear piece was connected to my beanie. I slid it on and I got into a black jumpsuit. I put a knife holster around my waist and put the knife on my back. I put another one on my thigh and in my boot. And I had one in my sleeve and a blade in my shirt pocket. I tied my boots tight, I put in red contacts and lint rolled my outfit down, head to toe. No mistakes. I jumped out of the van and threw a rope up into the balcony and I climbed up the wall silently. I got on the balcony and I put shoe gloves on my boots and I walked into the house sliding on my leather gloves.

I stalked around the lonely mansion as I tapped my earpiece. “Can you hear me?” I asked quietly. “Yeah, we hear you” I heard the hornets ' static voice say. “Ok i'm in the bedroom. What am I looking for? I clicked the camera on the earpiece and the night vision camera clicked on. I turned my head slowly to get a good view of the inside. I looked up at a poster on the wall. “That's not suspicious” I muttered and I pulled up a chair and stood on it. I grabbed a X-ray lens and slid it on my camera. “See anything?” I asked. “Yeah…get it down carefully…it's warm?” the wolf said in a thick accent. “Uhm alright?” I said as I pulled my knife and I picked the thumb tacks out. I caught a gun in my hands and I looked at it. “What the hell? That's it? While I was looking down, something fluttered down to the ground. I looked down at it and got off the chair and I grabbed it. I looked at it…my breath took a shark inhale and my face. My face went cold. I was as white as a ghost and my eyes were wide with disbelief. I folded it up and put it in my pocket. I took a bullet out of the gun and realized I'll just take it with me. I carefully placed my gun on the ceiling and then I pinned the poster back up. I put the gun in my gun holster and then put the bullet in a capsule and then I put it in my pocket. I heard a flick and then I looked at the door. The door was closed but I saw a light on. I gasped and I put the chair back and I ducked down to the floor. I rolled under the bed and put some shoes and boxes in front of me in case someone tried to look under. I slowly breathed while I closed my eyes and tried to keep my heart beat down.

I heard the door open and I watched the light turn on. I was sitting at the perfect angle. I could see his face and I could see who it was. My bones went cold again as I held myself to try to keep myself from screaming and running. He grabbed something and then turned the light off and left the room. I sighed and got out. I listened to the door and heard him go downstairs. I opened the door quietly and snuck into the sister's room. I heard the floor squeak where I stepped and I bit my tongue in furry. I went in and hid in the closet just in case. No one came in and I looked around the room. “Ok doctor you're doing good. Go to the nightstand and go in there.'' I walked over to it and opened the drawer and went through it. “Ok i found some pills…tic tacs…weed.-” viper said very quickly. “Grab it for me!” he shouted. “Jesus ow!'' I growled and looked more and found a knife with a logo. I put it in a case and then slid it into another pocket in my cargo pants. I was starting to get hot in my long sleeve t-shirt as I walked out the room casually and walked right into the mothers bedroom.

I walked in and looked around the bedroom. It was Huge. I walked to the bathroom and I looked around while I captured everything. I was about to open the drawer in the bathroom till someone walked in. I looked over and it was the mother. “Oh my god” I said and I opened the window and struggled out while she pulled her own gun out. I slipped on the ledge and fell out the 2 story window. She ran to the balcony and shot at me while I scrambled to my feet and limp ran back to the van. She got me in the side and I held my side and got into the van, soon to be driven to the base.

“GOD!” I screamed while the wolf poured tequila on my wound. “She got you good, doctor,” he chuckled. “Shut up!” I screamed at him while I panted and grabbed a pair of pliers and some gauze and held it to the wound while also trying to get the bullet out. “Ow ow ow…” I complained with tears in my eyes as I pulled it out. Wolf held a tin plate up to me while I put the bullet in it and then I held a clean piece of gauze to my side and the wolf wrapped the gauze around me. I breathed with pain as I put my head back and sweat dripped down my face as I laid back holding my side. “Ow..” I whispered to myself as I sighed of realife the bullet was out.

Wolf cleaned up and then the hornet came in with a syringe. “What is that?” I almost growled. I was known for working with them but I'm deathly terrified of them. “You need a shot~” she said with a tone of ‘pay back’ . The wolf came behind me and held my arms down. I was too strong for him and broke out of his grasp and slapped him. “No!” I screamed in defiance. “Yes!” she yelled back with glee. Called in the viper, a big burly strong texan came in and held me down. “NO!” I screamed with rage while the hornet stuck the needle in my neck. I screamed with fear while she laughed at my fearful scream. She let the stuff that was in the tube out into my neck and I held my neck after she was done. She put a pretty pink bandaid on my neck while I held it. “You guys suck..” I grumbled. I got up and the shot she put in me? It was a tranquilizer. she was numbing the pain in my side by putting me to sleep. As soon as I stood I passed out on the ground. The viper laughed while picking me up off the ground. My nose busted in the middle from my fall and what did they do? Put a unicorn bandaid on it.

When I woke up I was super sore and super dizzy. I sat up and held my head, soon to hunch over and vomit in my trash can. Hornet came in and laughed,“Morning” she said while pulling my hair back. “N- '' I was cut off by my own vomit. She helped me up and took me to the bathroom. She sat me down on the bathtub while I groaned. She turned the water on and pushed me in. “ow!'' I yelled at her while holding my head from hitting it on the wall. “Abusive…'' I muttered. “We went over all the stuff you found in the scorpion house.'' I laid in the warm water fully clothed. “And?'' I asked. She put the toilet lid down and sat down in front of me. “Well, we know who shot you. '' I looked up at her. “Who?'' I asked, sitting up. “Your own brother” she snickered. I was confused. “I don't have a brother, '' I said. She shrugged. “Actually you do, his name's Tony gonzalez. And he's your half brother.'' I was even more confused. “What?” I walked up to her and she showed me the DNA test. “How did you get this?” I asked her. She shrugged. “She's my mom-? My mom left me and my father for that…that bastard?” I asked , looking at the test feeling my face get hot with salt water filling my eyes.

The hornet rubbed my back and I shook off her gesture of kindness. “Please..” I said softly, not wanting to be more rude than I was already being. She nodded. “Doc..what do you want to do..? Your..you're our boss now..you're in charge and..it's your choice.” she said the last word felt like an ice-sickle stabbing me in the throat. I nodded. “Let me get more information..maybe..maybe they don't know? Maybe they-” hornet cut me off. “Maybe, what if, coulda’, woulda’, shoulda’. Doctor, don't play the game. Beat the game.” she said sternly and left the bathroom, closing the door behind her. I sat on the edge of the bathtub looking at the papers and I closed the file and laid it on the floor. I put my head into my hands and I sighed thinking. What should I do? What's my move? What game do I play? Do I play their game? What if. Should i. Could i. Would i. What do I do..I sighed realizing the hornet was right. I couldn't play this game anymore. I had to take the bull by the horns and control it.

I got up and left the bathroom and I looked at the clock at 3:33 am. I looked at the closet and then I looked down. I sucked in my lips making my decision. I swallowed my pride, and I walked over to the closet and pulled out some clothes. I went over to my door and I locked it and I started to undress. I looked up into the mirror while I was putting my shirt on and I saw in the mirror behind me..all the scars I had on my back, my arms, my neck and some that went behind my back. One I couldn't see because of black cargos. I slipped on my white shirt and grabbed my Harley Davidson boots that turned different colors. I got my leather jacket that was dark brown. I put my hair up into a bun and threw on some mascara and also some rings. The ones I already ruined from previous fights. I grabbed my keys and I walked out of my room locking the door behind me. I jogged down the stairs and went out into the huge parking garage with all the nice cars and bikes. I walked over to my darling motorcycle and I grabbed my helmet and slipped it on. I got on my bike and rode off into the street making a sharp right turn.

I arrived at the big mansion I had robbed only a few hours ago and I parked the bike down the block just in case. I walked up to the house and I knocked on the door. A woman with blond hair opened the door. The bitch who shot me. “What the hell?” she asked. “Who are you? It's 4:00 am in the morning! Do realize that?'' I clenched my jaw and beamed my dark brown eyes into her bright blue ones. “Yes i realize that.'' I almost snapped at her. Her daughter or my sister walked down the stairs rubbing her eyes. “Mom, what's going on? Whos at the door?'' The woman turned and looked at the teenage girl. “No one- '' I walked in pushing past the 50yr woman. “Your sister '' I said and I walked into the living room and I plopped on the couch.

The mother or my mother, mom walked into the living room while retying her robe. “Excuse me?” she said with an attitude. I looked at her. “You heard me,” I said with the same bitterness. The daughter and soon the son walked into the living room and the mother crossed her arms. “I don't know who you are but you need to leave right now!” she yelled. The son crossed his arms flexing his ‘muscles’ to scare me. I scoffed at him and smiled my iconic cocky smile. “Please” I said and shook off my jacket and flexed my arm. His eyes widened at my strength and he put his hands in his pockets. The mother grabbed a phone and started dialing. “I'm calling the police” she said and I smacked the phone out of her hand. “You're not doing anything. You're gonna tell me why you walked out on us. Me and dad. My name is Sam Sanchez, I'm 28, you're my mother. Your son killed my father and I killed your husband. I'm your kid unfortunately” i said with every word feeling like a stabbing dagger to the heart, to the 3 of them. The mother looked at me with fear in her eyes and choked out. “How-” I made the meanest look and spat out of my words. “You're lucky I didn't kill you.” I said , piercing my eyes into her head. Her eyes filled with tears.

The daughter walked up to me, “you're not my sister! You're crazy and if you don't leave i'm gonna deal with you” she said with her hands on her hips and she moved her head side to side and front and back. “I looked her up and down and gave her a stank face. “Girl, i don't know who you think you're talking to but i will take you outside. You and your slut mother.” I said and when she tried to grab me by the hair and drag me I simply slapped her. I looked at the 3 of them. “I'll give you a week to pack your bags and move. Or I'll change my mind and come back. Next time I won't be so nice, "I said, grabbing my jacket and helmet. The daughter held her face with tears flowing down her face, the brother held his sister and the mother held her kids looking at me in fear.

I walked out of the house and I looked up at the huge mansion and felt a stinging feeling. I walked out of the house and walked down the block to my bike. I sat down on it and put the keys in and I sat there while the engine ran. I sighed softly and put my helmet on. I drove home. I walked into the mansion and I closed the door and leaned against the door. As I sighed and kicked my boots off, shook my jacket off and threw my helmet to the side. I walked up the stairs and I plopped onto the bed. I closed my eyes and felt my body sink into the mattress. I fell asleep that night with regret and guilt sitting on top of me.

When I woke up I groaned and sat up rubbing my eyes. I looked at my phone and saw it was 12pm in the afternoon and my phone was being blown up by the assassins. I was too lazy to look at all the texts and I got up, slipped on my slippers, put on a light jacket and walked out the door grabbing my keys. Didint fix my hair or my makeup that was probably all over my face. I walked to my bike putting my helmet on and drove to the hideout.

When I arrived the wolf had his arms crossed. “Where were you all night young lady?’’ I gave him a dirty look while looking him up and down. “Well?” the hornet asked. I snapped. “Why does it matter? You're not my parents, I'm a grown ass woman and I can do whatever the hell I please. So next time yall try to question me i'll slap the crap out of you. I was out getting some damn answers. Which is none of your business. So next time don't come barking at me as if y'all take care of me or something.'' I said and shoved passed them and I went into the kitchen to make myself some food. “Well what happened?” they asked. “Oh now you want to be nice to me?'' I said pulling out some leftovers and I sat on the counter eating it. “Well- '' I mocked them with anger, “well, but, uhm- Save it. I don't wanna hear it '' I said looking down at my food with my words sounding like a heavy metal door slamming shut. I heard the viper swallow his pride.

I sat in my office doing research and looking over documents and papers. A knock on the door interrupted me as I looked up at the door. “Come in” I said while looking back down at the papers. The door opened and someone walked in. Dead roses were laid in front of me and I looked at them as the bloody red ribbon tied them together. I looked up and the viper had a red face, almost as red as the ribben. “Thank you, viper,” I said , sitting back in my chair looking up at him. “Call me tony..” he whispered with flusteredness. I smiled and put the dead flowers in a vase. “Thank you, Tony,” he smiled, getting more red than I thought he could and nodded. “My name is Sam, and if you tell the others I'll snap your neck” I said with a soft voice and a soft smile that finished the sentence. He looked into my eyes and nodded. “Yes ma’am” he said, i laughed. “Uhm..do you want to grab dinner some time?” he asked, rubbing the back of his neck, not able to look into my eyes. People always had a hard time maintaining eye contact. Maybe it was my arrogance or my cockyness or just how bold I was. “Yeah, I'd like that,” he nodded. “Cool,” he said, still embarrassed. “T-tonight at 7..?” he asked. “Sure” I said , folding my hands and he smiled more. “Cool, s-see you then” he said walking out looking down and then ran into the door frame. “Ow..” he muttered and immediately walked out of the room as if it never happened while rubbing his forehead. I chuckled and went back to my work.

That night at 7 I was waiting in the main entrance wearing a purple dress that hugged my figure beautifully and purple stilettos that matched the dress. It was a royal purple color and my nails matched the dress while my hair was in an allegiant brown and I had silver jewlery on. He came down in a suit and tie and he was trying to figure out how to tie his tie. I smiled and my purple lipstick complimented my pearly white teeth. “Need help?” I asked. He looked up from his tie and his jaw almost hit the floor. “Wow-” he choked and I nodded. “Thanks” I said and he closed his eyes to refocus and then looked into my eyes. “Wow..” he said once more. I walked up to him and I took out his tie and put it on him while I began to tie it correctly. “Thanks” he said, ashamed of his horrible tying skills. “Not a problem. I'm used to it, "I said as I finished. “Uhm..actually i don't want this time i'll be back” he said and ran up to his bedroom. “Ok?” I said and I leaned on the wall and pulled out my phone playing a game. He came back down and handed me a tie that matched my dress. “Please?” he asked and I smiled and nodded while tying it.

We arrived at the restaurant and I looked at the beautiful place he took me to. “Wow,” I said and smiled. “You outdid yourself” I said laughing. He shrugged with a blushing smile. “Only for the best lady” he said and I gave him a look. “I mean woman-” I put my hand up. “Save it” I said with a smirk as we walked into the building and got seated. He pulled the chair out for me and even pushed it in for me. “Ok good start, you're doing good” I laughed and he sat down with me and bounced his leg obviously nervous. “Dont stress, i won't bite” he wiped the fake sweat off his head, “fwoosh, that's a relief” he said starting to relax. I laughed and smiled. He smiled more and swallowed some of his fears and worries. “You have a really pretty smile..” he said quietly. I smiled a little more. “Thank you” I looked up into his eyes and his eyes were immediately mesmerized. “And your eyes…” he said, getting lost in them.

As we ate we had an amazing time, he paid the bill and left a 100$ tip which i was very proud of and we walked out of the place and walked to the car. “I had a great time, '' I said and we stopped in front of the car. “I'm glad” we heard a car behind us and we heard it slow down, i turned and the car stopped, the window went down. Bang. and the car floored it. The car was a dark red kia and had gold rims. I looked at Tony but then realized he was fine. But then i felt a wet feeling spreading on my stomach, i felt light headed as i looked down and held my stomach and looked at the hand that had blood drenched. “Oh my god..'' I said quietly. “Sam!” the viper yelled and caught me when i fell, he pulled me into the car and drove me as fast as he could to the base. I was starting to slip, and my vision was going away. “Sam, come on man, stay here!” he said, holding his jacket to my wound while also driving like a maniac.

We arrived at the base and he carried me in bridal style into the base. “Someone help! Please!” Everyone ran in and saw me. One of our nurses carried me into the little hospital we had and laid me down and then I don't remember what happened after that. I passed out. When I woke up I looked up at the ceiling and groaned. My chest hurt, probably from the force of the bullet hitting me but like now. I sat up holding my chest and Tony laid me back down. “Doc please rest..” he said, being gentle. I sighed. “What happened last night..” I asked quietly. “You were shot in a drive-by” he said, holding my hand. “Well…ow.” I said and laid my head back. I sighed softly as I closed my eyes to think. “That bitch” I thought.

A week had gone by before I was ‘allowed’ by my team to go on missions. I re-wrapped my bandages and I got on a tank top, black sweats, black socks with grips and I put on a beanie with my hair up. I slid on gloves and I left the house around 2:30 am. I walked over to the motorcycle and I got on with one thing on my mind.

I arrived at the huge mansion with my ‘mother’ and ‘siblings’ in there and I walked up, picked locks and snuck into the silent house. I crept up the stairs and into the office. I picked locks too to get in. suspicious if you ask me, why is it locked? I got in and I closed the door and locked it behind me. I went through the desk first and looked for files or papers or pictures. I opened them all and found nothing but office supplies. I was about to close the last one when something caught my eye. A lift? I opened it more and realized I couldn't pull it out. All the other ones I could. I took everything out and I used a pen to lift the small cover up and I found papers, pictures, files, cash, and a case of bullets. I pulled it all out and I pulled out my phone. I started taking pictures of everything I found and I took the bullets with me. I placed everything back and I closed it and locked the drawers back up.

I crept over to the file cabinet and I started going through it. I found a file in the very back with a red file in it..it was a picture of me, my father and her. We were sitting on a blanket on the beach and I was sitting on my fathers lap with my hands up high. The biggest smile i had ever had in my life probably and my mother hugging us both with the softest smile on her face. I took a picture of this too and I held the picture close to me. “They wouldn't know if i took it.'' I whispered and I put it on my back and wrapped my gauze around it to hold it close.

I got what I wanted and I unlocked the door and closed it after relocking it. I looked around and saw a light on the stairs. I stalked upstairs while seeing what was going on. The mother was pacing around downstairs on the phone with someone. “She knows! She was here and she confronted me and the kids…she threatened my life and my kids lives. What do I do!?....no…no! I'm not leaving. All my memes-...well that's too bad!” she paced more and then looked up at where i was. I took a step back so she couldn't see me in the darkness and she went back to babbling on the phone. I snuck out a window and I dropped down into a puddle. I growled when my socks were soaked, including my pant legs. I went over to get on my bike and I left.

I arrived at the base and I went into the meeting room and I uploaded the files and pictures and the papers I found. The rat came in rubbing his eye. “Doc..?” he said tiredly and then snapped out of his sleepiness. “Doc!” he yelled and tackled me into a hug. “Woah- hey no hugs-” i said and he hugged me tighter, cutting my hair off. The wolf came in, stirring his coffee, “I see you found the surprise,” he said, sitting down looking at the papers and files and stumbled upon the picture of me and my little family. I snatched it up and held it close. “Back off” I bit at him and he raised his hands in surrender.

I turned to look at the papers. It went quiet for a while until someone noticed I was gripping the paper trying not to lose it. “Doc?” the rat asked. I dropped the paper and I snatched up the rat and slammed him into the wall. “Where were you 5 weeks ago?” I snapped at him. He gripped at my wrists with fear in his eyes, “i-i” the wolf snatched me up and held me down. “What the hell are you doing, Doctor!?” he said in his English silky voice with fear in his voice. “TRADER!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. “IT'S IN YOUR NAME! RAT!!” the rat dusted himself off and dropped his act. “No she's right.” he said and smiled taking his beanie off. Wolf let go and looked betrayed. “You're the one who tried to dump my body into the lake! You're the one who killed my father! You're the mole! You're the leak! It wasn't my family! You got a hold of the bullets, you used their gun and tried to kill me with it. Then you killed my father.'' I snatched my knife from my boot and swiped at him. He dodged it effortlessly and grabbed my wrist snapping it. I bit my lip in pain and dropped to the floor holding my wrist. The wolf looked at me and unfroze himself and went after the rat with this pistol. He pulled the trigger but nothing came out. He looked at the gun in disbelief. The rat held up the gun that was a wolf's and pointed it at the wolf. The wolf looked down the barrel seeing the reaper. “No!” I screamed with anger and tackled the rat and it went quiet after the gun went off. “Nice try” I said , snatching the gun and getting up. “Who-” the wolf was shocked. I lifted my shirt showing my bullet proof vest and looked down at the rat with rage and I stood over him pointing the reaper his way. The rat looked up at me with fear. “P-please doc…come on man-!” bang. Bang. bang. Every bullet that went into his brain made his body jolt a little and I dropped the gun on his face. “Trader…” I whispered.

Everyone sat in the meeting room and I stood next to the board with a strict look. “Anyone interrupts me, I will shoot you in the head.” I said it was like a stone cold rock. I started to explain the evidence I found. “Someone put the rat upto this. To kill all of us. And I know who. It's a gang. I clicked a clicker and there was a picture of a beautiful woman, with long black hair and she was looking up at the camera with a smirk. She was skinny and had features of a model, in the picture she wore a trench coat. “Meet the nurses.” I said showing all of their mug shots, and information about them. “This is who we kill to get these bitches off our backs and go back to killing people and stealing from them.” the viper raised his hand. I glared over at him. “Speak,” I said bitterly. “Uhm, why do they want you dead?” he asked. I smiled and looked down, closing my eyes, remembering. I opened my eyes and looked up at him, a whole new person looked at him and he swallowed his question. “Because I'm the doctor,” I said and I turned the TV off. “Ok we roll at midnight, get the vans packed and make no mistakes, they don't think twice to shoot you in the head.'' I said and walked out of the room and into the weapons room.

I pulled down 2 snipers, 4 pistols, 15 knives, 3 smoke bombs, and some other things. I opened the door to all the cars that's right next to the weapons and I loaded up the van. I walked to the electrical room and got wires, ear pieces, and little cameras as well as bugs. I loaded up the van and I got dressed in black jeans, black grip boots, black hoodie and a ski mask with my fathers leather gloves. I closed the door behind me after getting dressed and I sat inside the van and waited and while I waited I went over my plans.

I didn't realize I fell asleep when I heard the back door of the van slam shut. “We’re ready” the viper said, I rubbed my eyes and I started the van. “Ok '' I said stretching and I drove to our destination. It took an hour which drove me crazy. I stopped the car a block away and I sat back in the seat and sighed softly while I got up and climbed to the back of the van. I had to go through the little window, but I got stuck. Which made me irritated and then I fell. Rough start.

I looked at the cameras while i started to strap up with my crew. “Be careful. They wont stop and check.” i said as i jumped out putting the sniper on my back. I started walking down to the house and I climbed up onto someone's roof and I aimed the gun towards a window. I aimed it directly at one of the girls and I got down and I walked over to the gate and climbed over and I was officially on the property of “the nurses” . The girls slept peacefully in their houses. I held my earpiece. “Ready?” i asked quietly. Everyone said, “in position” I pulled the safety off my gun. “Go” and it was like opening hell's gates for the hellhounds to be set free.

We went in and we started stalking the place at the bottom floor, we looked around and while they were off doing that i was at the back where the power was. I was rewiring and cutting chords and officially shut off the power. I went inside and we all heard a gun go off. We all paused and we all looked at the steps. Down came a rolling hornet. I almost gave my position away. I covered my mouth and bit back my tears. Instead of begging my anger to please leave me alone. I begged him to turn my tears to rage, and he granted me that pleasure. One of the nurses came down the steps in PJ pants, a crop top, but she held guns in her hands. 1 of those guns was used to kill the closeist woman friend I had. Before anyone got the chance I raised my gun and pulled the trigger. Instead of a bullet it was a needle. She held her neck and made a choke sound as her mouth foamed and her eyes rolled back with her veins popping out and they turned a black color. She dropped and rolled down the stairs.

I used her as a stepping stool when I walked up the stairs. One of the other nurses came at me with a knife but wasn't having it. He grabbed her arm, jammed it back and out of its socket, broke it, smashed her face into the wall and stuck a needle in her neck causing the same effect as her friend. I stormed up the steps and i was met with the other assassins. There i found my mother and my siblings tied up into this. What had happened was, they thought I had killed my father's penguin, so they sent the nurses to kill me. But really the nurses and the rat were in on it and said i killed him. They weren't mad at me for killing the scorpion at all. If anything they were glad to have their lives back. A woman sat in a chair next to them with her legs crossed. “Go ahead and try Doctor. Or should i say…Sam sanchez…” she smirked and looked up at me. “Drop 'em hunny and then slide' em over.” I looked over at the innocent family feeling more guilty than ever. I dropped my weapons and slid them over.

She got up and picked them all up. “Your smart sammy.” she said laughing. I could fully see her. She was an asian girl, long red hair, and an hourglass figure. I clenched my jaw looking at her while she took my weapons. “I can see where the beams are installed. One more step my leg would have been lasered off. If i took a step right and a step forward i would have been shot and if i army styled over to you, knives would fall. It's truly brilliant.” I said with my hands raised. “Aww thanks!” she said and turned 2 of them off. She made fingers to come closer. I shook my head and pointed at the other one I hadn't mentioned. “Not so fast. Turn the trap door off "I said pointing at the floor rug that did not match the small room at all. I made 2 faint coughs and then wiped my nose, “sorry i think i'm coming down with a cold” i said sniffling. “Tissue?” she asked and i shook my head no.

I looked up and out of the window. I didn't make it obvious as I did. I saw a viper running to the house and hurrying to get on top of the roof. He got there and he laid down and straightened the shot. He raised his hand waiting for my signal. I shook my head with very little movement. The woman put all my weapons behind her chair and walked over to me and played with my hair while taking my mask off. “Wow. i thought you'd be more dike.'' I coughed and laughed. “Should have seen me in middle school and high school” i said watching her stalk her prey when really she was the prey and i was the stalker with a backup plan.

I felt my belt with all my gadgets fall. She took it and looked at it. “Ooo pretty” she sighed, “i'm getting bored. Should I kill you and have the people who you came to save watch you die? Or should I let the hero watch his goal die?” she said pointing the gun at both of us, pointing it from the right, to the left, to the right and to the left. I looked at her and observed her. My brother got my attention and he used his eyes to tell me. His eyes went up and to the right. I looked over where he was and realized. I winked at him as I looked back at the girl. I needed rage to take over. I closed my eyes and I let my blood turn hot and my bones to shiver with adrenaline. I opened my eyes, a whole new person. Rage took my shoes off while putting my hair up. He took my gloves off and looked at her. He pointed at her and told her to come here. She laughed and stupidly took a step closer. He grabbed her with that second and smashed her face into the wall and held her and gave viper the ok. Viper took the shot but then the girl spun us and I got shot. Rage left my body, when I started screaming and holding my back. I fell to my knees and she grabbed her gun and pointed it at me. The same instant she pulled the trigger I stabbed her in the leg with a syringe. A syringe that had my fathers initials on it. I felt another bullet go into my chest and I laid there bleeding out while she foamed to the mouth and collapsed.

the wolf ran in finally being able to kill all the other nurses. He saw me and saw the family that had been tied up. He ran over and untied the family and came back over to me and held me holding my wounds. I hugged him while using him as support to get up. The bitch was still alive at home and shot the wolf in the face. My eyes widened and rage still had some kick in him. “NO!'' I screamed and I got on top of her and pulled a knife from my boot and started going at it. Stabbing her over and over again. Finally rage was tired and fell asleep and I came back into my sights seeing what he had done to her. I got up and dropped the knife on her while I looked at the family. My thought was rudely interrupted when I heard police sirens and saw the lights.

I walked down the stairs, i opened the door with my hands raised and i began my surrender walk out of the house. The family came out and they were taken to the side for medical attention. Now. now i could cry. But nothing came out. I got on my knees and put my hands behind my head. Cop cars surrounded me as sat on my knees all the cops opened their doors and pointed a gun at me. I looked down and one of them. A swat guy came over and aggressively put me in cuffs and dragged me to a cop car. I sat down into the car and sat back. I looked up and out of the windshield and saw them carry out the other assassins. I asked myself were viper was but said nothing. I didnt wanna be a snitch. The cop in front of me coughed and adjusted his mirror so we made eye contact. My eyes widened and I saw a smirk on his face that no one else could ever imitate. “Uncle riddle…?” i asked quietly. “The one and only” he said and winked at me. I smiled and got comfy. Now. now i could cry with a smile on my face.

The demon of rage growled and snarled inside me. He was so furious, knuckled white, steam out the ears. When I lunged myself out of the water and held onto the dock for dear life..i let those snarls and growls out. I used my knife as something to hold onto while I hoisted myself up and out of the water. Steam danced off of me while I rung out my hair and snatched my knife up, shoving it into its holder. “You'll regret that..” I muttered with anger as I took off my boots and poured the water and seaweed out. I held my boots while I walked into the forest and looked for a road…

the 'sped' kid in my class sat in his seat and had his face red. not with anger but with sadness. and what was everyone doing? making fun of him.."tomato!" "ew hes so weird" "isint he stupid or something?" "hes acoustic" i sat down next to him and smiled softly. "hi, im sam its lovely to meet you. may i work with you?" i spoke with kind words. he looked up at me like i was an angel sent from heaven. he nodded and moved his bag. i sat down next to him, and i noticed his dinosaur bracelet. i smiled, "i like dinosaurs to" his face lit up with excitement. his face wasint red anymore, it was smiling and had a bunch of life in it. "can i show you my collection!" i smiled knowing i made this kids day so much better. "yes id love to see it!" i said with the same energy. everyone laughed at me because i was "hanging with the autistic kid" i didint mind tho. i knew what he felt..i knew how lonely it got. i knew how much it stucked to be the only one in the class with "something wrong with you" after the bell rang that day..he walked up to me, gave me a peice of gum and then hugged me. he hugged me tight. i never really got hugs so when i got this i was taken a-back. "oh-" was all that came out. "thanks for being my frined.." he whispered. i rubbed his head and smiled, "anytime you need me" and ever sense. he followed me around school and we became really good friends. i was the only one there for him..i found out later that year i stopped him from committing suicide. be there for the ones who scream for help. even if its just a smile. give your smile to someone else without one.

i kept seeing her face...i kept seeing her in a dress, a beautiful smile and her make just right..her hair that blew in the wind while she ran through the feild. the sun was setting and i was running after her. she...she was me..when i was free and happy. i ran after her, i cried and begged her to come back. "Please!" i screamed. i ran after her and she laughed into the wind and jumped..SHE JUMPED! i looked over the ledge and she waved up at me from the ocean. she was in a beautiful dress and had the prettiest of prettys. i wore a black tank top, black sweats and a black zip up. i looked down at her and cried. "please.." then my leash was being pulled again. i woke up and laid there listening to the radio that complained about todays problems. my head was light and my body was heavy. "how" i asked myself while i sat up and stood on the broken glass of my torn bedroom. i wasint free. i was locked in a cage like an animal. i had gone crazy.

i watched as the singers of the sidelines sung and swayed in their silk dresses..the setting of the stage was blue and black with fake fog rolling off the stage..after awhile the music changed and when i looked up a woman...no. a goddess. swayed her hips and her silk dress swayed to right at the edge of the stage when she grabbed the mic. my eyes lit up at her black beauty as she gripped the mic and sung out. it was almost a scream but..it was so beautiful and perfect. the fog behind..the girls singing backup behind her. her skin was a chocolate color and she was as smooth a butter. her smile and kind eyes pierced into your soul if she looked at you. her bold red lipstick complemented her white teeth while her box braids dangled and swayed with her hips. i felt things i shouldn't have been..but she was so gorgeous...i couldn't look away..it was a trance...

we sat togehter in his car, we were step siblings and we didint know eachother like that. i sat in the passenger seat nervous and i looked down at my hands alot. "so.." he said quietly nodding. "so" i took a deep breath. he scratched his head, "how about this. lets make it seem like we just met. hi im Tommy, whats your name?" i smiled and put my hand out. "hi im sam" he took my hand with a smile and shook it. we sat back into our seats awkwardly again. "so what do you want to do with your life?" he asked. i smiled, "i wanna be an author and a director" i said proud of my words. his eyes lit up, "dude! i wanna be a song writer!! we both want something to do with expressing ourselves!!" i got exited and we took eachothers hand and shook eachother. "wow this is great! we had no idea who eachother were but like now its ok!" i smiled and relaxed myself. "so what kind of music are you into?" he asked and pulled out his phone. "oh uhm any kind. i can put something on if you want." i offered and he handed me his phone. i took it and put on the song chill bill. we sat there until the song came on. i sat nervous he might not approve of this song but he turned to me. "dude. i think were blood, because this is my shit!" i lit up like a lantern on a dark night. "seriously?" he nodded.

for weeks we were best frineds. we were eachothers person to call on a dark gloomy night. we were going to go out to hang out, as i checked the time, it was 9pm. i walked out of the house and he sat there waiting for me in his car, he leaned over and opened the door for me and i got in and closed the door, "whats trippin hippie?" i smiled, "nothing much, tweaker" i said as i pulled out my phone. it was tradition, anytime we hung out we had to take a picture together. we took the picture and then i went through my playlist for a song. "i found our song bro" he said taking my phone and looking for the song.

while he did this i was nervous, i tried to grab it back. "uhm can i have my phone back please.." i said obviously trying not to panic. he looked at me. he knew something was wrong. "whats wrong, sammy" he said looking into my soul. "you know you can tell me right?" i hated those words. i leaned back and tried not to tear up, i slowly shook my head no. he set the phone down but didint loosen his grip.

"whats going on, you can tell me" i shook my head, "no youll tell my parents..youll tell our dad.." i said obviously terrified. he took my face into his hands. "sam...i already know whats going on at home for you. i hear it on the phone with you all the time. your safe when your with me. i wont hurt you, i wont hit you, i wont rape you. sam i your big brother." i broke down. those were the words iv been needing to hear sense i was 5. i slowly nodded. he looked through my phone, "this is a situation you can easily get through, just block them ok?" i nodded and he blocked them. he wiped my tears and hugged me. "sammy its going to be ok.." this was dangerous..i was getting attached.

acouple weeks later we were on call together and listening to music together. "hey sam" he slurred from being drunk. i chuckled and didint look up from my writing, "yeah?" i answered. "im gonna move you in with me, get you a job with me and get you your dream car. no one you finna be abused anymore" within those words there was pauses, slurrs and hiccups. i stopped writing, "what?" i was shocked. for years it felt like no one wanted me around. it felt like no one wanted me. it felt like everyone pushed me away. i smiled. "id love that.." he nodded. "ok, as soon as your 15 buddy." i laughed. "ok"

his birthday came around and i was on the phone with him while at the mall. "tommy what the hell do you like" i complained. "rick and morty, reminds me of me and you oh and juice wrld" i laughed. "gotchu" i said and ran to the nearest store like spencers, hottopic or anything similar. "I GOT IT!" i shouted as i got him some shirts, magnets and some other stuff. i made him a hand made letter for his birthday and sealed it up and put it all in a box and wrapped it. "ok im coming back into town next week anyways so ill get it then and we can go do something" i laughed, "perrr" he hated it when i said that. he groane,d "oh no" he complained and laughed and so did I. he was my safe place. he was my home. he was the person i called when i was stranded on the side of the road.

he couldint make it down that week. "sorry, i cant make it this week" he texted. i sighed. "k" i wrote back and looked at his gift that laid on my desk. later that night we got into a argument, "dude shes not worth it! would you stop talking about her?! im sick of hearing, "alley this, alley that" its fucking annoying!" i said and threw something at the wall in anger. "Sam what the hell is your problem!?!" i started to tear up but i choked back because i didint want to argue. i hated that i was so sensitive. "im sorry, im taking my anger out on you.." he sighed, "sam its ok, im sorry for always complaining about her. you deal with enough bitching at home. whats going on tho?" he asked. "i hate my parents.." i said as i cried. "its ok...youll be out soon.." i nodded. "i hope" he sighed, "im going to bed. good night i love you" he never told me that. "love you too tommy" i said and then he hung up. i didint think.

the next day i was at a friends house and got the call..."hey sam..uhm." i heard hesitation. "whats up?" i asked quietly. "tommy uhm..tommy died due to overdose..im sorry for your loss i know he was everything" i cried.

for 8 months after his death i did nothing but cry, and when i wasint crying i was being screamed and yelled at. all i thought was, "i wish my best friend was here to protect me..tell me everything will be alright" i wished he was here...right now i wish he was here..one last hug...

the syringe in my arm ached as i had could feel my heart beat in my arm. tears filled my eyes as he grabbed me by my jaw and smiled a wicked smile. "shhh" he whispered and he kissed me. with that kiss memories came to me, and tears slipped down my face. i remembered sitting in the lavender field looking over the horizon of flowers. my brother sat with me hitting his blunt over and over, puff puff pass was our thing. we had it tattoo'd on our wrists. it was our little thing we had. he looked over at me and smiled a smile i always knew and loved. the smile that said who he was and how good of a person he was.

"yknow Sam..its good to get out with others besides me. i know im the only one who actually gets you but open up and explore. you'd like it" he said with a smile. i leaned against him while i took a fat hit of the blunt. "i guess" i said breathless and then let out an exhale of memories.

i closed my eyes and when i opened them the man still had me by the throat kissing my soft pink lips. tears filled my eyes as i cried like a child wanting there mother.."Tommy..." i quietly said wishing my brother was here to save me, wishing he was here to tell me everything is going to be okay and he'd never let anyone hurt me again...the father figure i always craved..
