Chapter 4- g u n s a n d k n i v e s



"You and Mateo fucked already?!" Valentina shouts, while we sit in the hall waiting for our group to be called up. A few stares are sent our way but I ignore them, continuing my conversation with Val.

"Why don't you say it a bit louder, I'm sure Canada didn't hear you." I roll my eyes, getting a bit impatient with the trials.

Today is the Trials, basically if you fuck this thing up just kiss your dreams a goodbye. It's to evaluate how well you work with your chosen speciality and you face the same situation you would face in real life. I and Mateo are both meant to partner up and work together since we're both assassins but he's sat some rows behind me with the boys. Maybe having sex had made things between us even more...homey? But as long as it doesn't get in the way of today, I could care less.

"No but like seriously, already?!" Valentina squeals but quieter this time.

"Yes, already." Valentina gasps and pats my back letting out a laugh, as she does so, a group comes out with brooding looks on their faces.

They probably didn't do well, and I should be feeling bad for them but a grin appears on my face knowing that we won't have to work super hard to get our spots.

"I knew it!" Valentina whisper-shouts, "The way you looked so dazed this morning and the way your legs were quaking, I just so knew it." I turn to her with a confused look on face and she winks.

I did not know the girl could just read me like that. And I'm now scared of ever lying to her.

"Shut up." I mutter and Valentina laughs.

"It seems like little Mal has a crush hm?" She nudges me and I shake my head, already feeling my face heat up.

"That's stupid it was just sex."

"Love is such an open door for you two." Val says before a woman comes out reading something from her clipboard.

"I'll rather keep it closed." She laughs, and looks up towards the woman.

"Um, The Sexy, Ravishing, Awsome, People, group? Could we uh...have you now?" A couple of laughs come from the people remaining in the hall and I shoot a glare towards Diego, vividly remembering saying not to put that as our name this morning.

He winks and blows an air kiss making me laugh silently before following the lady into the room.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Okay, but why didn't anyone tell me the supervisor would be so...hot. Like seriously, everytime he was to go over the rules for both groups that were in here, the little girl down in my pants clenched all the time.

He was that hot. That. Hot.

"Quit looking at him like that." Mateo whispered while the guy was showing us how to use the safe bell just in case anything goes wrong.

"Like what?"

"Like you want to bite his dick off because you think it'll please him." I slap his arm lightly and he lets out a low laugh sending butterflies to my stomach.

"No, but you can't lie his butt is pretty sexy." The supervisor was now facing the other group which was across us giving us a nice view of his bum.

"Yeah, it is." I turn to him with a raised eyebrow and she shakes his head in denial.

"No homo." I laughed and that had grabbed the attention of the extremely hot guy making him move towards me and Mateo.

"Since you seem to be so amused by this, why don't your group go first?" I smile, nodding before pinching and dragging Mateo's arm up with me. Valentina mouthed a goodluck with a wink and I nodded smiling at her.

We exit the room, and there is a glass window which I know reflects us on the other side where everyone else is.

It was a black room but it was huge, only lit by a single bulb on the ceiling which looked like it was about to drop dead.There are four men in the room, all just standing and staring straight ahead and it reminds me of when Elsa froze the whole kingdom in the first movie. I let out a laugh and Mateo looked at me questionly so I cleared my throat waiting for the next instructions.

"There is a table of weapons to your right, you may select only one to fight during this, but they will not physically hurt the person. The aim of this is to shoot, or throw at where their head or heart would normally be to declare them as 'dead'. You have forty-five seconds to select your weapons and it'll start immediately."

I can feel the grin appear on my face when I see the amount of guns laid out on the table. It all seems so hard to pick but when the guy on the tanoid comes on to say that we only have five seconds left, I pick up a handgun and stand beside Mateo waiting for the time to go off.

It didn't take long before the guys lunged at us and I and Mateo went into action. It was almost like we could reach each other's minds while doing so. By now we had already taken down the two other other guys and know I had managed to shoot one of them in the head before sprinting over to Mateo to help him take on the other guy. I pulled the trigger to his head and he fell, before walking out of the room. That seemed a bit too easy.

I high-fived Mateo giving him a well done, but our little parade was soon over when a guy had come out of nowhere and was aiming for Mateo's head. I ducked Mateo underneath me and jumped over him, getting another shot at his head. He fell to the floor and then walked out.

But about two more came out of nowhere and I was still shocked as to how they were getting in.

I aimed for a forehead and when I pulled the trigger, nothing came out. One of them lunged at me, the other still fighting Mateo. I braced myself and stepped back, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw my right fist out in a curved punch at his temple. He stepped back for a minute trying to process his vision and I used that opportunity to sweep my legs underneath his, sending him down to the floor with a thud.

Another one emerges from the darkness and I curse them under my breath, going over to help Mateo but he had already taken him down by the time I got to him.

"Where the hell are they coming from?!" Mateo stands in a fighting position heaving out heavy breaths. There were now six surrounding us, and for once I had no clue on what to do. But they all seemed to be coming from only one point of the room which meant that there was some sort of door that they were making their way through.

"They're coming from one point of the room." I whisper trying to catch my breath while putting my hands in front of me for defence.

"So that means?" Mateo pantsed out and two guys had run towards us, now holding guns in their hands. They fired a bullet but I dodged it, while Mateo sweeped underneath their legs taking both of their guns and throwing one at me.

"That means, that there is some type of door that they're managing to get back in through." I shot two guys by their hearts and Mateo had done so too, leaving us with one more guy. We smile at each other before kicking him in the chest sending him flying backwards.

We run to the end of the room where they were coming from and one more guy approaches us. Mateo swings for his head, making him stumble back and I swing my legs under his, causing him to fall. I finally see the door insight and I could already feel my adrenaline above the roof.

Before anymore guys could manage to get through again, we both shut the door while leaning against it panting for our dear lives. No more guys came out again and the grin on my face was too large. I wrapped my arms around Mateo's neck shouting, "WE DID IT BITCH!"

He picked me up laughing and swung me around, whilst hugging me, "WE FUCKING DID IT BITCH!" Mateo shouted and I laughed while still trying to catch my breath, only noticing how close I and Mateo were. He seemed to realise it too since he slowly put me down, his breaths becoming more steady. Images of last night were beginning to flash back and I wet my lips, trying to stop the urge evolving between my thighs.

We were so, so close to touching till the light flickered on and the room was now clear in sight, looking at some of the guys who were still trying to recover. Claps started to emerge and a large group of people stepped out of the studio to face us grinning, followed by Valentina's crazy shouting. "THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND PEOPLE!" She stepped out of the crowd running towards us with her back facing us.

"THESE ARE MY MOTHER BLEEPING FRIENDS, THEY'RE IN MY GROUP!" I laughed at her silliness and she finally arrived towards us, giving us both a large hug. I felt a couple more arms wrap around us, and by no doubt I knew it was Diego and Sabastian.

"Damn, you two looked like a married couple fighting off shrek back there." Diego whispers once the crowd goes quieter and the guy which had told me to go first was now standing at the other end of the room. I and Mateo laughed before facing him and what he had to say.

"You two, were the only ones in the groups which knew not only how to fight and communicate with each other while locating the source. This is very much important in the mafian world as you have to know how to strategize properly."

My ego is already filling up and I give Mateo's hand a squeeze which was already linked with mine from the previous moment we shared together.

"So as your reward, you all are going to be going to Italy."
