The office was cold and dark when I arrived just before midnight. I parked a block away so my bike’s engine wouldn’t announce my arrival. I wasn’t a girl that liked an entrance. I wore my leathers and I felt comfortable and at home in my body again. I climbed the stairs, trying to ignore the pain every time I bent my leg. I got to the second floor and walked through Sonya’s deserted office and into Ruben’s. Apparently she did take a break now and then. A dim lamp on his desk was the only source of light in the room. Ruben sat at his desk looking worn and haggard, like a lifetime had passed between now and the afternoon’s meeting. A faint smell of alcohol hung in the air.

“Don’t you just look like a ray of sunshine,” I said to him. He looked up at me like he wasn’t fully registering my presence.

“What’s wrong?” I asked. My back was up immediately, and I opened my senses. I’d been careless. The office had never been a danger zone. But now warning in a thin trace of terror hung in the air. Ruben’s terror, if something didn’t subdue him as much as it did. The alcohol smell was also a rouse. Something that intended to throw me off.

A dark shadow stepped out of a corner, and I jumped. The feeling intensified. The man was tall, wearing a black duster like cowboys in the movies. His skin and hair was pale, and he wore black wrap-around glasses, and he wasn’t a man at all. This was a vampire. No wonder Ruben looked like death warmed up. He didn’t usually come face to face with the underworld, not like this. He only employed them, but we took contracts from humans.

Another shadow appeared almost behind me. The only reason I knew it was there was because I smelled it before it had moved. I couldn’t see it but I felt it coming closer.

“Stop right there,” I said with a low voice filled with warning. The first vampire chuckled when I spoke.

“So this is your assassin? A woman? No wonder she hasn’t been able to get the job done.”

“I wouldn’t be so quick with the insults if I were you,” I said. Ruben didn’t respond. The thigh sheath and the two guns on my side and at my back burned imprints against my skin. My fingers itched to use them, but I wasn’t going to jump the gun. With two large vampires, me and a defenseless human in a small office it was better not to jump right into fighting if it wasn’t necessary. Blood shed needed space and a lack of human audience.

“You want O’Neill dead,” I said matter-of-factly. The vampire nodded. I was aware of his partner moving around the office, probably listening and feeling for the presence of people or other vampires.

“You’re not doing what we asked,” the vampire said. “We’re becoming impatient.”

“Why do you need me to do it?” I asked.
