jump off a building on a dare
“I know” he replied and smiled
“oh yeah, the infamous Dicanto’s 35 kills in one night.” His smile faltered a bit.
“what?” he asked
“I know he sent you out to kill a gang who raped a lot of women in the neighbourhood area.”
“it was a gang of 40 people and I had to kill the 35 that had sexual assault complain to them. But Val, I made a mistake there.” He said, cause he knew I saw his tell with his quivering
“what do you mean, you killed 35 of them and got the deal right?” I asked
“no, I couldn’t kill 35 people. No matter what they had done death didn’t deserve to collect them from my hands.”
“so you didn’t kill them all?”
“no, a senior member stepped in and did that for me. It was a twisted thing to ask. I am the killer of the gang but that many people at just 12 years would’ve take a toll on my mental state.”
“Mr. Scranton was one of the worse missions we could’ve gone for, he wanted to steal us of our innocence. Whatever we had hidden deep inside anyway.” I said looking at his bulls eye shot. I took a step closer to him and picked up a knife from his right side. Our faces were inches apart. I thew the knife over Chase’s shoulder and it went flying towards the red dot on the board. I then got closer to his right ear where I had purposely nicked a bit of it and sucked on the now dropping blood.
The metallic taste was rewarding but not as much as Chase’s deep inhale and simultaneous wince. I stopped teasing him after a few seconds of sucking his ear and whispered, “I told you I will be taking revenge.”
A heartbeat later his mouth came crashing into mine, we rhythmically fought for air and yet both of us entranced in a dance of passion. It was intoxicating to kiss him. It was like I had been looking for a world and found a universe of pleasure instead. The battle of dominance mixed with lust. We both stopped and stared at each other till out breathing became normal.
“that was fun killer, but I want to know more about you.” He said and guided me outside the training room into my bedroom.
“what do you wanna know?” I asked and we both sat on the bed facing each other
“everything.” He said and pecked me on the lip
“okay, let’s play 20 questions.”
“what’s that”
“well we just take turns asking 20 questions, like anything. And if you lie then you have to do a dare or answer a made up situation.”
“wow okay, how would you know if I lie.” He asked raising an eyebrow
“well,” I moved from my side and strangled him by sitting over him, “I'll know when your heart jumps.”
“my heart is jumping right now but I'm not lying when I tell you I'm really starting to like this position.” He smirked and put his hands on my waist to get me closer.
“oh shush, ask a question, you can be cheesy Chase later” I said.
“okay, do you think love is fate, timing or chemistry?”
“okay, erm, I think love is fate. Cause I believe in serendipity, whatever is meant to happen will happen and if someone is made for you then no matter the timing or the chemistry fate will bring you guys together.”
“I agree” he said full on smiling like a proud, I would say boyfriend but who know what we are, guy thing.
“what’s something most people don’t know you're passionate about?” I asked and sat still for his answer. We were still face to face.
“I think it’s probably my love for children.”
“oh?”
“I mean I wanted to help children with building skills and getting them like a tool box of skills in their early childhood itself so when it will come to their adulthood they will have their pick of jobs of talents which they can utilize.”
I was baffled by this answer. The killer of our generation had a soft spot for kids and welfare.
“chase, that’s the most wholesome thing I have heard.”
“yeah, well I was always passionate about all this, cause as you know we have an extensive skillset at our age that most people can’t even dream of. We’ve seen therapists and trained our cognition so well that we have the utmost control over our emotions.”
“that’s so true. And honestly speaking it is a reachable goal that you can achieve by just starting a centre and hiring the professionals that have helped us.”
“that’s exactly a side job I want. Have you thought about something you want to peruse on the side?”
