X

I grabbed Mercy around the neck and slammed her into the wall, her pretty head cracking against the plaster.

“Start talking,” I spat, trailing the barrel of my gun along her cheek.

“X,” she managed to choke out around my fingers.

Mercy was my target. Mercy was the one who’d attempted to kill Sykes. Mercy had to die. I had to take her photo, scratch her out and deliver it to...

“Please,” she whispered. “Let me explain.”

“I know everything about you Alison Crawford. There's no explaining anything.” She played you, X. She played the master. She made a fool out of you.

Mercy squirmed in my grasp, tears welling in her eyes. She had no stomach for violence. Not the dark kind - the kind that took you to the edge and pushed you into the abyss. The kind of violence that turned a human being into a killer. That was why she couldn’t pull the trigger on Sykes. She wasn’t a murderer. That was my job.

I pressed the barrel of the gun underneath her chin, pushing it into the soft spot just above her throat. Tears streamed down her face, dripping onto her chest. Crying. The women always cried. Her lips quivered as her eyes silently pleaded with me.

I could just pull the trigger and bam. Her face would be gone.

Sick son of a bitch.

“X,” she choked out. “Help me.”

I cocked my head to the side.

“He took everything from me,” she went on. “He killed my entire family.”

“You want help from me?” I scoffed. “If they'd have asked, I would've killed them too.”

Mercy let out a strangled sob. “I know something is in there, X. I've seen it. I've seen it when I'm with you. When you fuck me. When you're inside me. I've seen it.” Her gaze met mine defiantly, despite the fear that shook her entire body. “Help me. Help me end Sykes.”

It might’ve been desperation, or it might’ve been something else, but she leaned forward and pressed her lips against mine. My cock stirred as the tip of her tongue caressed my bottom lip, but it wasn’t the only thing. Darkness. She was darkness.

I jerked backward, breaking contact and clutching my head, the gun feeling heavy in my hand.

“X...”

Snapping to attention, I pulled the tranquilizer out of my jacket pocket and shoved Mercy against the wall again. Her lips parted in a gasp as the air was pushed from her lungs and I struck. The needle pierced her skin and she cried out, batting her hands against my chest.

As the drug took hold, her movements became clumsy, her eyes glazing over.

“No,” she slurred, trying to push me away. “No, you can't...X...”

As her eyes rolled into the back of her head and her body crumpled, I caught her in my arms, lowering her to the floor.

What are you doing X? She won't feel anything now. End her. She's your ticket to freedom.

Kill her.

I straddled her comatose body as she lay on the floor, placing the gun on the bed. She really was a beautiful woman.
