The bald English bodyguard was growing restless. When their boss departed for England, he never told them that they would have to chaperone anyone around the city. He had hoped for a few nights off for a change. Instead, he found himself on duty. Still, he couldn’t complain too much as he was making ten times the salary he had been in the army.

Halfway down the hallway, the elevator chimed. A second later, three young women stumbled out into the hallway laughing and giggling merrily. The women waved and then noisily made their way down the hallway.

Perhaps tonight won’t be a total loss, thought the bald-headed bodyguard as he eyed the tall, blonde woman as she staggered down the hall.

“Excuse me, ladies, but would you mind telling me where you think you are going?” said the black-haired bodyguard in a firm but friendly tone of voice.

Stopping a few meters shy of the two men, the Asian girl smiled and said, “Is Mister Kincaid home?”

“Sorry, miss, he’s in England on holidays,” replied the black-haired bodyguard. The hair on the back of his neck went up. He had seen women come for business parties held in his employer’s home on several occasions over the past year. Something wasn’t right.

“We were told by our agency that he would be home tonight,” said the Asian girl, sounding more than a little disappointed.

“Perhaps they got the day wrong, sweetheart. I get off in a few hours if you would still like to party,” said the bald-headed man, leering at the women.

“I think you’re cute,” said the blonde-haired woman. Her English was heavy with a thick Russian accent. Handing her champagne bottle to the black woman, she took a step forward, only to trip over her feet and fall into the bald-headed bodyguard’s arms.

“Steady, love,” said the man as he held her in his arms.

The attack was swift and deadly.

With one man distracted, the Asian woman waited for the split-second that the black-haired man’s attention was not on her but on his foolish partner. As if out of thin air, she deftly pulled a slender knife out from under her dress and threw it straight into the man’s unprotected throat. With a sickening, wet thud, the blade sunk home. Instinctively, the doomed guard reached up for his throat.

The bald-headed guard saw the blood spray out from his partner’s throat. He let go of the Russian girl and tried to reach under his jacket for his concealed pistol.

With a snarl on her lips, the Russian launched her right hand straight onto the man’s throat, shattering his windpipe. Like his dying partner, the bodyguard reached up for his throat. The last thing he saw before he died was a carbon-bladed knife in the hand of the Russian. She smiled at him and then thrust the blade into the side of his head, killing him.

“Well done,” said the black woman as she looked down at the two dead bodies with an evil glint in her eye. “Less than five seconds.
