Me, Carmelo, and Marcus have become best friends. Not like best best friends but we got to the bar everyday and they protect me from men who try to flirt with me. They also send assassins down when needed. Both of them said the person they came with is already dead.
I've made other friends too. They just backstabbed me. Actually I mean that literally with one of them. They stabbed my in the back with a knife. I had to go to the hospital and everything.
I am fine now though. That's why Carmelo and Marcus follow me everywhere.
The enemy however keeps staring at me.
"What is that guys name?" I whisper pointing at the man that keeps staring every now and then.
"Anthony. He's a dick. He has a lot of power but never uses it," Carmelo says.
"Oh. He keeps staring at me," I tell them.
"We know. We've been keeping an eye on him," Marcus tells me.
There are twenty five people left after seven days.
Sage, luckily, is one of them.
He now has forty nine kills. Which is scary when I think about it. But I love him and trust him. And none of these men are innocent.
When there are fifteen left we are no longer allowed to send assassins in. Only notes.
I have sent Sage multiple notes. One of them saying "you still owe me head."
He does.
We watch as two men head in Sages direction. I squeeze my knees to my chest.
He has killed four guys at once before he can do it with two.
Once they turn the corner Sage already has killed one and the other shoots at Sage. It hits him in the shoulder. I gasp.
"How much is medical assistance?" I ask Marcus and Carmelo.
"Ten grand."
I get my ten grand and march down to the first floor. Carmelo and Marcus both yelling at me.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"What?"
Sage is dying.
"When you do the medical assistance you have to go in there yourself. You aren't supposed to be killed but sometimes it happens," Marcus explains.
"I don't care I will go," I turn around.
Something hard hits my head. It hurts a lot and my ears ring.

I wake up in my bed.
Mother- frickers.
Marcus sits next to me.
"What did you do? Sage is dying!" I yell at him.
"No he is not. Carmelo is a surgeon. He want in there. You were to hyper focused to hear us tell you that," he rolls his eyes.
"What?"
They saved Sage. And probably me too.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I still used your ten grand though," he tells me.
I laugh.
"Can you get me some ibuprofen?" I ask as my head rings.
"Yeah," he says as he gets up.
He explains to me that Sage is almost fully healed and that there are seven left.
After my ibuprofen kicks in we head back to the watching area.
One thing I have noticed is that there are no other women here. Leaving all the males and their horny penises to flirt with me.
It's okay because I have my personal body guards that nobody wants to deal with.
Well only one at the moment.
"Can you put the competition back up?" I ask after he gives me the ibuprofen.
"We are down to the last ten. They do not show it anymore. We just have to wait until someone comes out," Marcus explain to me.
My heart hurts. My anxiety meets a new high. What am I supposed to do for however many days? I start hyperventilating and Marcus looks at me like I am crazy.
I take a deep breath.
What are five things I see?
Marcus, the tv, the bed, the window, the dresser.
What are four things I can feel? My chest moving up and down. The blankets. Sweat on my forehead. Marcus' stare.
What are three things I hear? My breathing. Air going through the vents. Marcus talking.
What are two things I can smell? Marcus' body cologne and my perfume.
What is one thing I can taste? The alcohol I was last drinking.
"Hello?" Marcus was talking but I didn't hear him.
"Hi."
"Are you good now? Because they just retrieved a body?" Marcus tells me.
What. The. Fuck. Wait I shouldn't say that word. No it's okay I only thought it.
Body! Oh no. What if it is Sages?
I stand up and rush down stairs. Marcus is yelling from behind me to slow down.
I hold the elevator open.
"Hurry up old man!" I yell at him.
"You know I could have you killed at any moment right?" he says as he walks with his cane.
"Yeah, I know."
We head down to the first floor just as the big doors open. The body has blonde hair. Oh thank gosh. I sigh.
Anthony walks down. Sees the body and head back up.
I look at the now closing doors to see Sage standing there about a fifty feet out. He smirks and gives me a small wave. Blood covers him from head to toe. It's kind of...hot.
The doors fully close right as someone else turns the corner to Sage.
I almost scream. I take a deep breath. I trust Sage. He will come back. I fidget with the ring on my finger.
Let's think about something else.
"Which one is his son?"
"I think his name is Ren. He has like two kills. Sage has I think fifty three now."
Suddenly I realize Carmelo hasn't come back yet.
"Where is Carmelo?" I ask Marcus.
He gives me a sorrowful look.
"He didn't make it."
