THE TARGET
Maybe we can stop the wheels of Instant Karma, I think to myself.
After a long, irritating night of doling out stupid karmic justice, we end up at a trendy nightclub for hipsters and social media influencers. Sure, itâs beautifully set with a quasi-steampunk vibeâhard machinery clashing with lush velvet couches. They even have a low-key Cirque du Soleil performance going on, a burlesque show that might have been interesting to watch.
Instead, Dante pulls me in the other direction to a quiet alcove, which is probably meant for semi-private make-out sessions. Iâm unsure of whatâs going on since he has a serious, almost angry look in his eyes as he gazes down at me from his intimidating height. Even in heels, I have to crane my neck back.
âAre you mad about the car?â I ask.
âWhat?â He looks confused. âNo. Itâs about the job here. I have to⦠see that woman in the red dress?â Heâs practically stumbling over his words.
âYeah. I see her.â Sheâs stunning, perfection barely encased in a minidress. âIs that the target?â
He nods. âIâm supposed to approach her, and uh⦠get close.â
I study him carefully, trying to understand why heâs being weird about telling me. âDoes that mean flirt or fuck? Does she make us have sex with people?â I ask, somewhat scandalized, wondering what it means for me.
His eyes widen at my question for half a second. âWell⦠itâs⦠uhâ¦â
Now Iâm worried. How far do we have to take our jobs? âWhat arenât you telling me?â
âI donât want to do anything with her.â He rubs his face and then musses up his hair in frustration. âIt feels like cheating.â
I blink. âOn who?â
âYou, of course!â He sighs like Iâm dense.
âBut we arenât together.â My brow furrows.
He turns away and gazes out into the crowd. âWell, even so, it feels wrong,â he says just loud enough for me to hear.
âThis whole karma gig feels wrong,â I agree. âHey.â I tug on his hand for him to look at me again. âDo what you need to do. I get that you feel weird doing what Karma asked you to do. Unfortunately, this is the job, right?â
âBut I donât like it.â Dante squeezes my hand in his then lets go, heading over to the VIP section of the club.
I casually watch him as I try to blend into the wall. He approaches the table, and with his charm and good looks, heâs quickly offered a seat with the movers and shakers clique. He sits next to the attractive brunette and flirts. I canât read their lips, but Iâm well versed in body language. Sheâs into him, and heâs cuing that heâs feeling the same. After several minutes of signaling their attraction, light touches and smoldering gazes come into play.
Something deep inside me squirms uneasily.
Dante hasnât even looked anywhere else other than her for fifteen minutes. There hasnât been even one glance at me, and I donât know why it bothers me as much as it does. I donât have a claim on him, and I donât want or need his attention.
