One More Down
Kira entered his house with him hesitantly, taking in the large building.
"Woah. Are you rich or something?" Even in the dark of the night, Kira could see marbled floors and a large T.V.
The man smirked proudly. "Yeah, I have a well-paying job."
Her eye's widened at the large oil painting they passed. "This is totally amazing! I feel really out of place here." She laughed nervously, tugging on her purse strap.
"Don't worry," The man shrugged, "I'll help you feel at home." He turned around and saw her examine a family photo.
"Where are your wife and son now?" She asked quietly, brushing a finger over the son's face with her gloved hand.
He walked back to her and snaked an arm around her waist, plucking the picture from her grasp, setting it back down uncaringly. "Out of state. You don't need to worry about them." With the arm still around her, he lead Kira out of the living room and upstairs.
"Hey, did I ever get your name?" He asked quietly. His mouth was too close to her face, and she had to hold back a grimace from the smell of vodka.
"Lily." She turned her face slightly away from him. "You remember my age though, right?"
His face snarled a bit and the grip around her tightened. "Of course, do you think I'm stupid?"
"No." She spat. "I think more people would be careful about taking home a 16 year old with them."
"Hey, you said yes, and I said yes. Nothing else matters."
Kira made sure he couldn't see her roll her eyes. Luckily they made it upstairs and he was no longer in the mood for talking. He led them into a large bedroom, and locked the door behind him.
Kira turned on a lamp, and grinned. "Turn around for this part, trust me. You'll have a better time." She went to take over her coat.
He grinned wolfishly and did as instructed. "This better be worth it. I'm not risking prison for something half-assed, especially when you might go to school with my kid-" He stopped talking when Kira dragged a knife across his throat and jumped back, letting him fall to the ground as he bled.
"I have something to confess." Kira grabbed the bed sheet and wiped the blood on it, careful not to get it on herself. "My name isn't Lily, and I'm not actually a brunette." She pulled on her wig a bit. "Good news, I am actually 16 though, that's something going for you."
Kira pulled a card out of her purse and left it on the nightstand. It read 'One More Predator Down!'. She looked at the man bleeding out on the floor and smiled. "God, I love my job."
