“Bring me that girl.”

Getting a girl hadn’t been part of the plan for that night. The moment I walked in and saw her, all my other plans took a backseat.

Or rather, they all rearranged to include her for a good hour or so.

A lot of people in my line of work hated surprises, but not me. Surprises kept me on my toes, both professionally and personally.

For me, the worst thing was being bored.

I liked things that messed up my little plans. I guess I could say that’s what my job was, even. Dealing with little surprises. Chatty exes, greedy employees, nosy officers of the law. Hyperspace hiccups, my boss liked to call them. When they threw him off route, he called me in to smooth things over.

For those who preferred the technical term, I was an assassin.

A good one, too, but I had to be. Bad assassins didn’t last very long.

I also made a pretty good Vinduthi folding cake, but I wasn’t in Modzrabe to bake sweet treats. At least, not that night.

I wasn’t there that night to kill anyone, either. Not unless I got lucky. There were rumors for the past few months about our ‘family’ having a spy for the Nazoks in it.

At first, it was just little things. A few jobs we had planned that Conii and her boys got to first. Extra security getting posted at the last minute. But over time, it got worse. There had even been a raid on one of our stashes; one nobody should have known about.

So now, Alkard sent everyone he trusted out after any lead to try and figure out who the mole was. This club was rumored to have tight ties with Conii’s crowd, so it was worth watching.

I didn’t expect much, but I at least thought I’d get a nice drink out of the situation.

And then, one of the most beautiful women I ever saw jumped straight off the stage and into the face of a paying customer.

I’d already been watching her instead of the room. She was beautiful, but more than beautiful, she had a certain energy to her, one I couldn’t quite identify. Not until I saw her eyes right when she jumped off the stage.

It was ferocity that attracted me to her. The power of someone who knew just what they were worth and wouldn’t let another get away with treating them as anything less. She had the willingness to fight, even if it meant losing. Nothing attracted me more than that.

I saw a lot of beings die. Not all at my own hand. And I saw others take the grief in lots of ways. I saw strong men blubber and beg for their life. I saw cowards take death nobly with a few calm words. I saw a lot of people who just looked surprised like they never thought death was something that could happen to them.

Ferocity was my favorite quality. I respected those who died angry and fighting. It was the way I lived, and I hoped it would be the way I died.
