Chapter 8: CHAPTER SEVEN

R I O N A

Leo.

I can't remember the last time I got the energy to have an actual conversation with anyone that was not family or a teacher.

But she had this wonderful aura that made me want to talk to him, but I get the total opposite from his friend.

Focus.

I am currently in the car which is parked outside the bar of where my victim is.

I took off my glasses and parked my hair up in a bun so the wig could fit perfectly on my head.

After I got ready in my undercover outfit as a waitress, I went into the bar and served other people while keeping my eyes at the entrance so I can be alerted when she enters the bar.

I waited for over forty minutes before I saw a middle-aged woman walk into the bar matching the photos I saw, and a smile made its way to my lips.

She took a seat at one of the tall tables while a waitress attended to her. I prepared a drink for her and added a little something to it to make my work easier.

My eyes searched the bar and noticed a man staring at her from the edge of the bar and that was all I needed.

I took out a tray and placed the drink on it and made my way to the lady who looked hopelessly sad at something.

"This is for you ma'am," I said in a polite tone and placed the drink on her table.

"I didn't order this," she pushed it away and looked away from me.

"I am aware. The gentleman from over there ordered it for you," I stylishly pointed at the man staring at her.

After I had successfully convinced her to have the drink, I made my way back to the counter and observed her from afar.

Step one: Get her to accept the drink. Done.

I watched as she downed the drink in a few gulps.

Step two: Make sure she finishes the drink. Done "My calculations say the drugs should kick in in five minutes tops," I softly said while looking at my watch.

Now.

I walked over to the lady again and engaged in a conversation with her about how she liked her men, and she had a lot to say.

"Hey, why are you interested anyway?" she asked after telling me everything.

"Oh the gentleman told me to gather more information about you and to give you something," I told her.

She looked over in the man's direction and back at me. "Where?" she questioned while holding her head.

"I left it in the bathroom. Do you mind coming with me?" I politely asked.

"My head's dizzy, I could splash some water on my face, so sure! Let's go." She smiled and grabbed her purse.

Her hand supported her head and I helped her to the bathroom. If I was not mistaken, she should be falling unconscious any minute now, so I had to get her to the bathroom fast.

When we entered, I let her go and she held the sink for support while I locked the door and checked to make sure there was no one else in the bathroom.

"A-are y-ou search—" She struggled to speak when she saw me checking the stalls.

"Save your energy, lady!" I coldly said and she fell on the tiled floor.

I dipped my hand into my pocket and took out my gloves which I quickly put on. I didn't have time to waste!

I dragged her body to one of the empty stalls and sat her on top of the toilet seat. I took out my knife which I placed in her hand and deeply plunged it into her stomach. Blood dripped from her mouth and her heart slowly stopped beating.

Since it was meant to be a suicide, it would be better to leave the knife behind. I left her in that position, but when I moved my hands, her hands fell.

Well that job was done!

I quickly exited the bar through the back exit which nobody used since it was a dive bar.

After I reached my car, I took off my disguise, let my hair down in a ponytail, and put on my glasses.

That knife was important to me, but at least it got the job done. I got home at almost midnight and carefully opened the door, so I wouldn’t wake anyone.

As soon as I was in, the dark living room was suddenly illuminated by lights, causing me to flinch.

"There you are," Thalia said with an amused voice.

"Shit, you scared me!" I told her and grabbed my bag which had accidentally fallen from my hand.

"You hungry?" Thalia asked as I made my made my way upstairs and I shook my head and continued on my way.

She snorted, "So I guess killing people doesn't make you hungry. Important information."

"What is wrong with you Thalia? Don’t you know that Cassidy or Iris could have walked in on you saying that?" I scolded Thalia.

"Do you know how disappointed they would be if they found out that their angel Rie is a cold-blooded killer?" She retorted placing her hands on her hips.

"I am not having this conversation." I shook my head and continued on my way.

"Sure, walk away like you always do! You are just running away from the conversation, but you know me and how I am relentless on this topic!" She said from behind me.

I slammed my door shut and rested on the door till I fell on the ceramic floor.

My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly and my I closed my eyes feeling like I was a disgusting human being.

I knew I was a disgusting human being, and I didn't deserve anything good from this life, but I could at least help my siblings live well.

A tear dripped down my cheek and I laughed. I was broken, not only mentally, but physically as well.

I was basically a living corpse who was only living for my family and nothing else.
