Just as I walked into her office at 9:30 she was looking through a couple of files. Our chat was short as I questioned about tomorrow. Then right on time, the new client has arrived. I still never understood why these clients don’t even try to hide that they’re not human.
…
The 3-reptile humanoid walked into the office. 2 had black suits while the third wore a red Victorian dress. Of course, it had to be the dragon princess to visiting, instead of her father. I won’t lie, she is pretty yet those scales always creep me out. Nel walked up to her and then bowed. I hate formalities, sucks the fun.
“So my princess, what brings you to New York?”
“I need help finding my pet, Fluffy. He has been missing for the last two months.” I hope this, Fluffy, is one of those small dogs. “You see Fluffy is my pet dragon. She gets so scared when she’s away from home. Plus, I miss her so much.” She then showed us a picture of Fluffy. Nel asked where she was last. “Los Vegas, when we went to visit my aunt.” I mentally slapped myself. I hope Eric gets this job, he loves giant pets. Nel told her that we’ll do what we can and sent the princess on her way.
She then looked at me. “Rac, let Matthew know he’s going dragon hunting.” I was surprised. Matthew was the last person I excepted Nel to mention. Especially after their fight about the last job. I told her I would and she sent me out of her office while she focused on paperwork. I hate it when she does that.
…
I can’t believe this! I’m not doing this anymore! As I got ready to get ready to leave for lunch is when Matthew shows up. He goes on if he should take the whole finding Fluffy job. I remind him he’s the best dragon hunter this organization has. He grins and puts an arm around my shoulders. “So does that mean you’ll finally go on a date with me?” I pick his hand away from me. And walk out of the office space.
Today is not looking like my day. Why is everyone asking to date me? First is damn Rachael, and now Matthew. This is crazy! As I walk to the elevator is when Eric catches up to me. When the doors closed I lean against the back way. “So, did the jerk take the bait?”
“Yeah. Jason’s team should be on their way to the restaurant now. Do you still think he’ll be mad?”
“Knowing him he’ll won’t see it coming. So, who should be my date for this? Or maybe I should go alone, like always.”
“For goodness sake how many—”
“You finish that sentence and I’ll put garlic in your coffee.” He put his hands over his mouth. “I thought so. How many times I have to remind you that she’s not my type? She’s too…” Just then the doors open and we got out the elevator. As I walked outside, I tap my watch to change my outfit. No longer in my tight clothes. Now I was sporting a pair of black slacks, and a red blouse with a black jacket. I truly hate changing clothes outside, but same time I don’t care.
I placed my hand in front of me and opened a portal. As I step through, I came upon the Blood Restaurant. I walked up to the attendant and told him my name. “Right this way, Ms. Mes.” I then followed him to the back, where there was a group of men at a table. Once the attendant left, I finally sat down.
“Well hello, Mes. I thought you were getting tired of me. What’s the reason for this meeting?”
I inward sigh; greet time to put on a show. I tried to put my best sexual personality to push this lie. “Come on babe, you know well I could never really leave you. So why don’t we go somewhere alone and talk.” I winked at him. He smirked back, but then it quickly fell to a frown.
“You never was good at lying. So cut the act. Why did you call me out here? And my guards aren’t living, not after what happened last time.” I slightly frown. This was going to be harder than I thought.
“I have that damn diamond you wanted, but first you have to pay me.” Then his smirk returned and told me to show him. I press my hands together and when I parted a purple diamond was between my hands. “Now do you believe me?” I raised an eyebrow. He then laughed and command one of his guards to grab me. He never changes. Why can’t he ever take the easy route?
As the guards grabbed my arms away from the diamond, I blew the diamond away from me. Before he could touch the diamond, it disappeared. And when he looked back at me, I saw the horror in his eyes.
…
Not again! Why do I keep forgetting she can do that? One moment her skin was a pale cream color till it became black. Her eyes went from a lash brown to rage red. Her clothes melted from her flesh. Smoke came from her mouth. I commanded the guards to let her go but it was too late. The guards hand her hands through their chests. I know that look, she’s going to blow.
“I’m sorry! Please take the money. And don’t worry about the diamond.” Her arms combust to black flames and the guards became ash. “I said sorry! Please! I’m begging you!” By now she had walked on the table towards me. She was in front of me. I got on my knees and begged. “I’m not ready to die.” I could feel tears sliding down my face. When I looked back to her she had changed back.
“The price has doubled. Next time you’re dead.” The anger in her eyes still glowing. I nodded. She picked me up from my collar and brought me to her eye level. “Next time you have guards I won’t even bother talking, I’ll just kill you.” With that, she dropped me and left the restaurant. Damn that woman can be such a mood killer. Once she left, I finally got my order of deer meat. After taking a bite I started choking. And I could hear her laughing. Then her voice whispered in my ear. “Actually, you die today.”
Then I looked at the waiter who gave me my food and it was him. Her trusted right-hand man, Eric. I was set up after all. Before the world turned black I could see his smirking evilly at me and hear her wicked laugh one last time.
