“Alright, everybody, listen up!” she raised her voice over the hubbub that was the warehouse with thirty men inside.

Slowly, conversations trailed off, and eyes turned to her. They frowned in confusion, taking in her small, ragged form as she stepped out of the shadows and into the light. All that separated them was a few feet of space—and an impenetrable shield that shimmered ever so slightly around her. She fed it more energy, letting it envelop her like a second skin before raising her voice again.

“Someone here knows where I can find my sword. I suggest they speak up, and in return, my friend and I will leave without any trouble. You can go on that job of yours, enjoy your life for a few more days or be good boys and leave town. Otherwise,” she paused, squinting at the three big thugs that stood closest to her, and pointed the axe at them one after another as she spoke, “I’m gonna chop off his arm, his head, and his balls. Deal?”

She beamed at them to no effect as the dumbfounded crowd of Beasts advanced on her, stopping only when the one-eyed thug raised his hand, stepping forward. As usual, no one took her seriously, except the one who had nearly got killed by her in less than five seconds.

“Where’s Martinez?” he asked in a gravelly voice. His eye rested on the axe she was holding.

“Who?” She peered at him, confused. “Ah, the little squeaky fellow downstairs? Yeah, he’s dead.”

“You lying bitch!” some Beast yelled, using his big gut to make his way through the crowd. “Forgot to mention you killed our boss before you came here with your little proposition!”

Her mouth opened and closed as she heard a distant clang coming from the basement, but stopped her head from turning so she wouldn’t direct their attention to Marco. Since they hadn’t attacked her yet, she wondered if her bluff would actually get her the sword.

With a sigh, she lifted the axe to point at the fat Beast. “You—I never said anything about Emilio. I said I’d leave without any trouble.” The axe turned to the one-eyed man. “You—do we have a deal or not? Bring me my sword, and no one else dies tonight. We leave, and you can be on your merry way of killing and rape, unless I see your ugly mugs in town again.”

“She’s not going anywhere!” the fat Beast yelled before the other one had the chance to say anything. “Emilio was a friend of mine!”

“Then you have my condolences! You’re shit at choosing friends. Anyone else in our little club want to make a statement?”

“I am not a rapist!” Another thug stepped out of the crowd. His bald head gleamed like a polished apple, sticking out a good five inches above everyone else.

“Good for you, Baldylocks! I’d clap, but you know what they say about clapping.”

“What?” He blinked.

“You don’t clap with a big fucking axe in your hands!”

“Silence!” The one-eyed Beast lost his patience.
