I stood still in nothing but my bra and underwear as Dave, connected the wires carefully to my body, you almost wouldn't notice them, once he was done he moved back to admire his work,

"Now the dress." He uttered and walked over to a bag, opening it he pulled out a white cocktail dress and handed it to me, "dress up, I'd be outside." He said and left the room,

I heard the door close behind and fell to the floor, what have I gotten myself into? If I die tonight,  Nate would be left alone in the world:-

"Hurry up." Dave's voice boomed, having me jump to my feet and wearing the dress, the dress was tight and it pressed  the wires into my skin, I wasn't comfortable, but I had no choice, I walked out the room to present myself, Dave stepped back and began examining me, for any visible wires,

"One more thing." He walked over to the table and handed me a purse that mashed my dress, "In this purse there's a burner phone and a gun."

My eyes widened and I recoiled, A gun. "I can't use a gun.."

"It's for an emergency." He handed it to me and I took it with shaky fingers, "The code to activate the burner phone is 2424, only activate the phone when it's an emergency."

I stared at the purse in my hand, not bothering to open it, the sooner I do this, the sooner I get to see Nate and we start a new life, a good one.

That's if I am lucky to survive this night, " All you have to do is get him up to the room and we would handle the rest from there..Everything you say or do will be monitored through the mics, so don't try and act smart."

I gulped, nodding slightly,

"Good, let's do this." He uttered and gestured me out of the door and into a black Van, parked in front.

I got into the back to see an estimate of five hooded men, I took a seat at the corner and the van began to move, barely an hour later it stopped and I stepped out of the van, as the cold breeze hit my body, I had an itching feeling to run and escape this madness, but the more intelligent side of me, reminded me of what I got to lose.

"Go." Dave shot, startling me, I began moving slowly towards the crowded casino, I expected there to be a security check, but there was none.

Everyone in the room looked extremely intimidating and dangerous as they played, shuffled dices and tossed wads of cash on the blackjack tables,

The men had visible gun in their holster, where's the police? Isn't all this Illegal, "Pay attention..." A voice that's like Dave's growled in my ear and I hissed,

"Move to the bar, your target is wearing a grey jacket.."

I moved my eyes to the corner of the room and saw Dave leaned against the wall, watching me, "Can you be more specific, there are a thousand men wearing grey jackets." I shot back at him, feeling my nerves starting to get the best of me, I just want to make it out of here. "Just do as your told," he growled back,

I took a deep breath and began making my way towards the bar slowly.

I spotted a man wearing a grey jacket while sipping onto a glass, "quit gaping at the man and act." Dave growled, I can't decide which is worse, his voice or the voices in my head whispering for me to do this and get it over with. I stalked over and slid into the stool bar next to the man,

I raised two fingers at the bartender and he walked up to me, "Che cosa posso ottenere per voi, Bella?" he uttered in Italian, with a soft smile,
