Chapter 35
Viktor tried to speak but he was stuttering and couldn't explain that he was just trying to protect Freya.
"Was I trying to protect Freya from myself?" Viktor could only nod.
"I thought so, that's why you're still alive," Freya looked at Hendrik with a serious expression, who also stared back at her.
"Did you two have something in college?" He asked Viktor.
"No, we never had anything, not that I didn't try, but Freya always saw me only as a friend" Freya took a deep breath and wondered why he couldn't have just answered with just a simple no.
Freya wanted the focus to shift away from them, so she asked a question to change the subject. How do you guys know each other?"
"His family is part of the organization and he works for me." Freya raised both eyebrows and looked at Viktor.
"So, your family is part of the mafia? That's why you always did those things and then managed to fix them? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, it's not something you just go around telling, like I would come to you and say, 'Freya, I'm from a mafia family and also work for the mafia, if you need someone taken care of, you can count on me, okay? It's a bit complicated, Freya."
Was it complicated? Freya knew very well now complicated it could be. She herself was living in all this complexity. Now knowing that Viktor was part of this mafia world Freya wondere how many other people she knew or had known were apart of it too. 
"What exactly do you do.?" Viktor looked first at Hendrik, who gave him a signal to go ahead and explain.
I'm a professional assassin and sniper. Upon Iearning exactly what Viktor did Freya couldn't believe it. She might be quite naive about this mafia world, but she knew that if Viktor was there, it must have been for some job.
Hendrik squeezed Freya's hand, which he hadn''t let go of making her look at him.
"I need to talk to Viktor, can you go down stairs for a bit ? Take the opportunity to dance and have fun." Hendrik got closer to her.
"Just don't have too much fun, and don't let anyone else touch your waist, or your punishment will be worse when we get home."
"Punishment?" Freya realized She had spoken too loudly, felt embarassed, and got up and left. Sasha, as always, accompanied her to make sure no one else would hug her like that. Sasha pointed in the direction of the bar, and they went there. She ordered two drinks and handed one to Freya. "Hendrik wouldn't hurt him, would he?" Freya asked, looking toward the VIP area.
"Do you want the honest answer or the answer with lies?" After that response, it was better not to know anything else.
"Relax, he won't do anything to you. Hendrik understood that you and Viktor are just friends and he didn't want Hendrik to get too close to you as a way of being protective. Hendrik can be jealous and possessive but he knows how to be reasonable. "
"How long have you known Viktor? Freya wanted to know more. " To be honest,not long, it was the first time I saw him in person until then, I had only heard about him and knew about the services he had done."
"What do you think Hendrik will do to me since he said he will punish me?" sasha found the other's question amusing "Well, you said you were my girlfriend and let another guy hug your waist, I don't know what kind of punishment it will be, but I can imagine," Sasha said with a smile.
The two of them went to the dance floor and started dancing. Everytime a girl or a guy approached Freya, Sasha would scowl and find a way to push them away.
"Are you like this with whoever you date? Freya wanted to know if possessiveness was a common trait among everyone in the mafia.
"I don't date much I'm just a subordinate. At any moment I can be sent out to another City or country for a mission 'So it's hard to maintain a relationship like that "
Freya felt sad for Sasha is she knew it would be complicated not being able to give explanation of when she was, who she was with, or even what she was doing, explanation that the other person would surely want to have.
Upstairs, Hendrik explained to Viktor what their job would be he informed him that they would invade a warehouse where Tobias Stored his drugs. The idea was to destroy the entire place, causing a fire that would destroy all the drugs.
Viktor's part would be to provide support in case anyone else showed up. A skilled Shooter like him would be essential for this operation Hendrik also went over some more parts of the plan and informed him that he would receive the locations and times for the meetings, so they could go and discuss the whole plan.
Freya and Sasha had already left the dance floor and sat on a couch in one of the VIP areas Sasha went to get a drink for herself and water for Freya.
Freya couldn't remember the last time she went out and had fun despite the other things that had happened, she was enjoying herself while waiting Freya looked around she noticed a man with a cap staring at her in a strange way.
The effects of the lights prevented Freya from seeing the person's face clearly, but Freya could swear she had seen him somewhere before. She looked away feeling uncomfortable, but looked again and the man was still staring in the same way.
Sasha returned, handing her the water and sitting beside her. Sasha asked if everything was okay because she noticed that Freya seemed different. Freya said there was a man sitting at a table staring at her, but when she tried to show Sasha, she looked and the guy was no longer there.
Freya searched and saw him heading towards the door "There, that guy with the cap heading towards the door." Sasha spotted him and realized the person was trying to leave quickly. She pressed something in her ear and are told security guards to check who the man was.
They informed Sasha that he managed to escape, running towards a car that was already waiting for him."Did you recognize him? was it Tobias?" she said he didn't know who he was but that he looked familiar.
Sasha called up to report to Hendrik what had happened. Freya went ahead, Sasha followed behind. As they climbed up the stairs, Freya ran into Viktor who was already coming down." Are you leaving already?" Viktor said yes, that he still had another commitment, but that they would see each other more often now.
Viktor said good bye to Freya brushed past Alan who had redirected to Freya side, taking the lollipop he just opened out of his mouth, licked it put it back in his mouth, and walked away." What the hell was that? That guy is so brazen." Freya, who witnessed it all giggled at Sasha, turned to Alan, Patted his shoulder,and said, "I'm sorry for you, you're in his eyes."
Alan couldn't believe that Viktor was flirting with him and got angry."Tell your friend that I'm not interested and to stay away from me"
"I don't know Alan, I've heard a lot of macho guys from College say n that and in the end, they ended up in his bed." Alan got even more annoyed, collected another lollipop from Sasha, and put it in his mouth. Sasha was really addicted to lollipops and it seems Alan is gradually joining in her addiction.
"Look, you ever have that in common Snatching other's lollipops." Alan huffed and walked ahead of Freya and Sasha, going up quickly.
Sasha briefed Hendrik on everything, who ordered Alan to check the security Cameras and try to identify the person. Freya thought they might be overreacting. It could just be a guy trying to flirt with her. Sasha Said it wasn't that simple, the person seemed to be fleeing after she appeared.
Some time later, Alan appeared again with the information from the security Cameras. He printed an image and showed it to Hendrik. Sasha also grabbed the sheet and exclaimed, "I can't believe that son of a bitch was here!"
"Who are you talking about?" Freya was completely Puzzled. she replied, "The person who was watching and staring at you was Rico" Freya thought it couldn't get any worse, the tattooed psychopath and his disturbed lover, a perfect combination to be after her.
