NOELLA

Chapter 8

                  We're sitting down at dinner I was talking to Alessio when Alessandro and Tommaso start talking in Italian about the mafia I listening to the conversation as they start to talk about the Mexican mafia "il problema con gli irlandesi è ancora in corso hanno rubato le nostre ultime due spedizioni ho sentito che hanno anche tentato di rubare ai messicani (the problem with the irish is still ongoing they have stolen our last two shipments i hear they have also attempted to steal from the Mexicans)" Tommaso said to Sandro " raggiungerò i messicani e vedrò se riusciamo a formare un'alleanza, non ne hanno molti noti per stare in piedi da soli (i'll reach out to the Mexicans See if we can form an alliance they don't have many there known for standing on their own)"

As we're finish dinner, one of the guards comes in and talk to Sandro he tells him that my friends dropped off my dog. Is it OK to bring him in? Sandro tells and it's all right we walk in to the foyer just in time for Stormie to slam me to the ground licking my face

" that's you're dog " says Enzo I say " yeah is something wrong "I say glaring he stutters and says no Alessio jumps in and says "we just thought you'd have some small fluffy dog like a corgi or a shitzu or " I cut him off before he list every dog bread under 50 pounds "I don't like small dogs or fluffy ones " " how old is he " asks Romeo " he just turned two he's fully trained and a total teddy bear unless provoked " "provoked?" Sandro asks

"Look Stormie is very protective of me if he deems someone is a threat to me and my safety he'll act on it " I say as I cuddle Stormie closer "Stormie ? Your named your scary ass Rottweiler Stormie?" Rocco says as he looks at me as if I have three heads " technically is name is Storm but when he was a puppy I just started calling him Stormie it just stuck ".

I took Stormie up to my room so he can settle in as I finish up the rest of my work for the day. My phone rings and I see it's Pedro he's a member of my mafia but also helps screen jobs for MUERTA my assassin identity he looks into the targets and finds them for me he a great hacker who I trust with my life. " hola Donna " says Pedro as I answer the phone " ah Pedro long time no talk do you have a job for me ?" " sí Donna targets name is Thomas Samuels age 39 married no kids he abuses his wife including rape she has tried to leave in the past which has resulted in the person helping her being murdered."

" Where is he " Pedro takes a breath before saying " he's at his home with the wife I have the a new house and bank account set up for her when you finish the kill" thank you Pedro send me the file and I get on my way." I hang up and put on a black hoodie and leggings before looking my door I hack into the estates security system and loop the camera for ten minutes I make my way onto my balcony during shift change of the guards and dash towards the hidden door in the wall I found while walking Stormie earlier , I hacked into the keypad and added my own code for when I need to come and go. I make into the car I've hidden in the woods past the estate and start driving toward the hideout I use for MUERTA.

I pull up to what looks like an abandoned dinner and enter using my keys I head over to the fridge that is really a hidden elevator I scan my finger print and enter my key code and head down .

This hideout is solely for MUERTA it has multiple weapons room, office , gym, gun range , cells a room for torturing,garage kitchen living room and a room for me to sleep. I head into the room I keep my gear. I put my wig on change into the suit and put of the mask contacts and headpiece grab my weapons and get on my bike and drive off to my targets location.

I pull up to Thomas Samuels home and enter through the back quietly I see to left Thomas is assaulting his wife June I creep up behind him and slit his throat his wife June screams in fear but quickly realizes I'm here to save her from him. I leave my mark signaling MUERTA was responsible I turn to June " I'm MUERTA I'm here to help . pack what you need and I'll take you to you're new safe home " June moved quickly to pack and we leave towards the new house an hour away closer to her family

June hasn't stopped thanking me for saving her and giving her this house . Abused women and children have always been the majority of the people I help I buy houses and give them to the victims of abuse and assault to have a save haven. I head to the hideout shower and change. After a long night I head back to the Estate and climb in to bed hopeful for no nightmares but ultimately I'm never that lucky.
