Delila tapped a rhythm on the steering wheel with her thumb as she slowly drove down Añejo Avenue. She was glad for the drive, it gave her time to mentally prepare herself for her meeting with Yuri.

She had put a lot of thought into her outfit tonight. It was modest and stylish, while just slightly emphasizing her figure. With her large breasts, that took some effort. It spoke of sexuality, but was subtle enough not to be obvious, and the lace on her tank top played up her femininity.

She could have worn something that exposed much more of her, but she decided clothing that subtly hinted would pique Yuri’s interest more. She figured he would be the kind of guy that wanted to feel like he had won some sort of victory when he bedded a woman—not that she planned on bedding him. The very thought made her want to vomit.

Use the weapons you have, Zeke had taught her, and as a woman she knew that in many situations her body was the perfect weapon.

“It’s manipulation tiiiiime,” she sang to the tune of a Power Rob song playing over the radio. He may be a walking advertisement for Carmenta Group’s anti-aging technologies, but he sure could sing. “Gonna catch me a murdererrrrr.”

After parking her car, she remained seated inside for a few minutes, gathering both her thoughts and her courage. She squeezed the steering wheel tightly to stop her hands from shaking. She couldn’t give in to fear now, although the gravity of the situation was beginning to dawn on her.

She was about to enjoy a nice cup of coffee with a professional hitman. One that may have killed her friend. Several deep breaths helped calm her down, but she felt like her heart was trying to pound its way out of her ribcage.

Delila finally opened the car door and stepped out, mentally checking herself as she walked toward the cafe. Her dark hair was usually in a ponytail for the sake of practicality, but today it hung in waves past her shoulders. She usually didn’t bother with makeup—lipstick didn’t help her aim, after all—but she wore it today. A pistol was in her purse, as usual, and she had a tiny knife in the heel of her boot. That had been a gift from Amelie. That woman loved her knives.

Zeke probably would have called her underprepared. That man liked to carry an arsenal on his person, it seemed, although she couldn’t blame him after all he had been through. Still, that pistol of his was like a piece of field artillery.

The cafe came into view. The classical French styling of the building was charming and a welcomed respite from the overbearing concrete jungle that was the rest of the city. A handful of round tables were neatly arranged in front of the building, some empty and some with customers.

A young couple sat at one of the tables, smiling at each other in a way that young lovers often did. Idly, she wondered if she stared that way at Zeke.
