"Father why can't I send Cohen, he knows what his doing. I have more important things to do than socialize with a bunch of stuck up, snobby criminals." I said
"Because there's a important person you need to meet, you wanted to associate yourself with him remember." Said my father
"Cohen can handle it, I keep my identify a secret and meeting up with him would expose my identify." I said as I rolled my eyes.
"You will wear a disguise, Cohen will do the talking, you can type to him." Said my father
"Okay, I hope you're happy, now I have to hit the gallery tomorrow night. I was excited." I said as I left the room.
"Dad I'm the boss, the only reason you're getting your way is because I need to see if this man is worth associating with." I said as I walked towards the gym.
"I know dear, I'll tell Cohen to organize a car and get Gina on the phone to get you a suitable disguise." Shouted my father
Ugh I hate theses events, but if it's good for business's then I don't mind. Maybe I'll have some fun who knows. Well the only people who know who I really am are 5 people. My father,brother, Cohen, Gina and Klaus. Cohen and Klaus are my oldest friends we grew up together in a shady neighborhood but it taught us what we needed to know and how to be strong, let's just say the first time I killed someone I was 18, I was already the boss by then. Gina is my fashion designer and girl best friend...she joined the crew about 11 years ago and that's the only reason she knows who I am, she earned my trust.
Most people heard stories about what I have done, what I would do or how I got to where I am and to be honest any story you may have heard is probably true, killing, torturing, drugs, weapons and so on but one thing I despised was sex trafficking, I would kill anyone who dared to do that in my city.
New York is my city...it took time but it's all mine, most of this city I own and if I don't I probably have dirt on the owner or the owner is a friend.
I let all my frustration out on the punching bag, before I knew it I heard Gina calling me. Is it already time.
"Safire!?"Shouted Gina
Geez that girl!
"I'm coming have patience." I said as I rolled my eyes and walked towards my bedroom.
"Okay you have these options but remember tonight is luckily a masquerade ball so just choose a mask that will conceal your identity." She said
"Thank you Gina, by the way will you be joking the crew tomorrow for drinks after the heist?" I asked
"Yes, who else is going to make sure you all don't get drunk off your asses." She said with a laugh
"You know I don't get drunk, it's more like who will drink enough for everyone." I said as I rolled my eyes
"Okay...fair enough. Go shower and I'll pick the best options for you." She instructed and I did so.
Gina was a little older than I was, she was about 29, or so she says. She was amazed when I told her my age but that will stay a secret. Anyway I stepped into the shower after removing my sweaty gym clothes from my body. The warm water ran down my body, relaxing every muscle and relaxing me. I loved showers especially when I needed to relax and escape.
After about 10 minutes I reappeared in the room and Gina was sitting on my bed checking her phone.m
"Finally, okay here are your options."
Option 1
************************************
Option 2
************************************
Option 3
************************************
"Option 3, by the way I want option 2 also, could you put it in my closet." I said and Gina nodded
I proceeded to sit by my vanity and Gina did my hair and makeup, it was almost time for the gala and I wasn't dressed. I quickly got dressed and chose a suitable mask. Let's hope this goes as planned.
I walked downstairs and was met by the eyes of the men, they were so wide I wondered if they would fall out. Geez they over exaggerate.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" I said with a laugh
"You look breathtaking Blue Eyes." Said Cohen
He was using my alias was because some of the crew was around. My mask was already on and I was ready to leave, knifes strapped to my left thigh and gun strapped to my right thigh, I had 2 knifes hidden in the dress(attaches to the dress) and my phone, with some lipgloss for a touch up.
"Ready?" I said and they nodded
My crew was only people I trusted, they proved that I could trust them and I knew they would never double cross me because they knew I would blink to kill them.
"Yes ma'am, the Limo you requested us out front, Cohen and Klaus said they will be joining you." Said Hunter
Hunter was one of my best men, I also knew him for about 7 years but I didn't yet know if I could trust him with my identity.
"Thank you Hunter. Cohen, Klaus shall we." I said as I walked towards the front door.
Maybe Cohen was bored or he wanted to test my reflexes before I left for the gala but he pulled his gun out towards me while I was walking towards the door and before he could even put his hands in the right place my knife flew into his blazer and he was stuck to the wall behind him.
"Just had to make sure you were on your A game." Said Cohen as he struggle to get free form the knife.
"I'm always on my A game." I said as I pulled the knife out of the wall and put it back in the strap.
We got into the limo and were on our way.
"So what do we know about him?"I asked
"Powerful, rich, has a empire in Italy like us but we could use a new route to transport some of our weapons, we have basically all the routes but he discovered a new one and no police have found it so it would be a very good idea. He asked that we provide him with about 10% of our M24 and M25, I said it would work since that's very easy for us to obtain." Said Cohen
"Sniper weapons, interesting...what kind of things has he done?"I asked
"Well his known mostly for his work in smuggling things people need, his a great shot, killed numerous people, keeps a low profile, his name is Antonio Rodriguez, he also goes by huntsman. People say his no where near as capable as blue eyes but he is good." Said Cohen
I couldn't help but smirk when he said that everyone knew Rodriguez was no where near as capable as I was, let's just say I'm cold hearted, my business comes first unless my crew's lives are in danger, I protect the people who respect and protect me. Everyone in my crew would die for me and I would die for them. But damn did it feel good to know how much people knew they should fear me.
"One more thing, his family status." I said
"Mother, father died when he was 15, younger brother, they say he killed the man that killed his father, it's the reason he got into this business." Said Cohen
"Got it, remember, only call me Blue Eyes, no slip ups, I will not be talking, I text you my questions, you ask, if he annoys me you know I won't hesitate to throw a knife so just warn him I have very little patience. One more thing, after the meeting we will leave, I want pizza for dinner and I don't feel like staying at the gala to long, word could get out and I don't need anyone trying to attack me. I have the assassins monitoring the venue...I would much rather be with them. But anyway let's have fun." I said with a mischievous smirk
"Don't kill him, heat him out first." Said Cohen as if he knew what I was thinking.
"Please, you know there will be a knife between his eyes if he steps out of line even once." Laughed Klaus
Klaus was my Psychotic other half, we were both really messed up and wouldn't hesitate to kill, we did our fair share of damage and let me tell you we are probably the few people that would laugh with a gun pointed in out direction.
"We're here, Ready?" I said into my what piece
"Yes, boss." Said Hunter
The driver opened the door and I proceeded to get out of the limo, I was greeted with Cohens back and Klauses back, they were blocking the cameras from getting any images of me, I took hiding my identity very seriously, it was the only way to make sure the safety of my family and crew would never be put at stake.
We made it into the ballroom hall way and they both proceeded to walk behind me out of respect. I messaged Klaus asking him to identify who Antonio was and he nodded in the direction of a young, attractive man, his hair was pushed back, he had tattoos covering his neck and arms, I wondered if his chest also had but I quickly changed my train of thought when I saw his face, he was extremely attractive, he had a perfect facial structure, jawline, cheekbones, his eyes were ice blue like mine, interesting...
I walked through the doors into the actual ballroom and I got a better view on Antonio, I messaged Cohen to get Antonio and meet Klaus and I in the private board room. He nodded and walked towards Antonio, Klaus and I walked down the ballroom stairs, I could feel the stare everyone was providing me , I heard men whisper asking who I was and heard the women's envious remarks, I enjoyed knowing I had that much power I could get the attention on the entire room. No they were not whispering because of how I look, it was the way I carried myself, with pride and like I would kill anyone which I would.
We made it into the boardroom and Cohen entered the room 5 minutes or so after us. I stood facing the window as they entered the room, I stood looking over my city, the city light looked beautiful.
The light in the board room was dimmed where I was standing as I would prefer to keep myself a secret, including if I was a women or man.
"Good evening Blue Eyes." Said Antonio as he stood facing me
I turned around to face him and gestured for him to sit down, he did as he was instructed.
"Blue Eyes says Good evening Antonio." Cohen stated on my behalf.
"Will Blue Eyes be speaking through you tonight?" Asked Antonio
"Yes, as you already know Blue Eyes's identify is a secret." States Cohen
"Okay, before we begin Blue Eyes requested that I inform you that Blue Eyes has very little patience and will not hesitate to kill you if you waste time or annoy Blue Eyes by your presence." Cohen Stated
"Noted." Said Antonio
We started the meeting and he had reasonable terms, he didn't want my property which was a smart plan because if he did I would have killed him, he only asked for Sniper weapons,10%, we came to an agreement and we became associates that night.
"Before I leave, would it be a crime if I said I would prefer to see the man I made a deal with tonight." Said Antonio
Klauses eyes went wide and Cohen moved away from Antonio, they both knew what would happen next. I put my voice changer on, he will not know how I sound. I threw two knifes in his direction and he was pinned to the wall. His eyes went wide in shock.
"Not a very smart thing to say Rodriguez, if you wanted to die you should have just asked." I said
"I didn't mean to offend you sir." Said Antonio
I threw a third knife right next to his temple, what can I say I have impeccable aim. His breathing started to increase and I smirked, I enjoyed when people feared me, it meant they knew not to talk shit.
I stepped into the light and he saw me, well as much of me as he could, my identity was concealed but a wig and a mask(yes a wig, my natural hair colour could help someone identify me)
His would fell open when he saw I was a women, it was as if his brain couldn't comprehend it, I owned New York, I had allies across the world, any continent I want to I knew people who knew people. Let's just say u got great connections. He couldn't comprehend that a women had such power and that I had done all those things he had heard.
"You're...you're a women?" He said in shock
I threw another knife, this time it left a flesh wound on his cheek.
"Continue staying stupid things and I'll make sure the next one cuts off one of your balls." I stated
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect you. Our deal is made, I look forward to being in business with you." Said Antonio
I walked up to him, not close enough he could smell me but close enough that he could hear me clearly.
"I don't put up with shit Rodriguez, you double cross me or disrespect me I won't hesitate to kill you, the only reason you're still alive is because I need that route to be available." I stated and gestured to Klaus to get my knifes, he did as he was told and handed me them.
I put them back in the strap and Antonio watched in awe, as if he was amazed and turned on, ugh men.
I walked out of the room and took the back exit, I didn't need to attract any unwanted attention. I just wanted pizza. Cohen dismisses Antonio and met Klaus and I back in the limo. As we drove away Hunters voice came through our ear pieces
"Someone's threatening to kill you boss, at the gala a man, I'll send you a picture, he stated that you are probably just all talk and no bite." Said Hunter through the ear piece.
"Finally I can have some fun." I said and Cohen instructed the driver to turn around.
We walked I through the back entrance and I identified the man, Rodriguez was watching me, like he was curious as to why I was back, I pulled out my knife so quick his eyes didn't even register it until it was between the mans eyes. The man that threatened to kill me was Nick Octavios. A rich boy, his fathers managed a oil company, which I owned. I told you I wouldn't hesitate. His body laid there with my knife in his head, I walked over and pulled my knife out, then proceeded to wipes his blood off using his shirt.
Rodriguez looked astonished to see that I did live up to the hype my name carried. Everyone in the ballroom wasn't even alarmed but what happened, it was just another day I guess. I proceeded to exit again and before I left I heard someone calling my alias.
I got into the limo before someone could see me. The person was stopped by Klaus.
I looked through the tinted windows and saw it was a young boy, I asked Klaus to ask the boy what he wanted. Klaus told me the boy wanted advice on how to be so cool. I laughed and told Klaus to just tell the boy that he is cool but confidence would make him even cooler.
Klaus smiles at the boy and repeated what I had said, the boys eyes lit up and he walked back to the hall all happy. What can I say, kids are annoying but I do enjoy admires now and then.
We drove off after checking if anyone was bugged, we finally got home and I was shocked to see him.
"Hello old friend...Blue Eyes oh how I've missed you."
