Snippet #2741934

It’s been a while since last events…events that impacted her job a lot. First problems with someone stalking her, then clients disappearing.

And…

Now she’s stuck with a couple of dead clients that wanted something, something that will never reach them. Troublesome part is…a corpse of another client, client that was supposed to meet her in a brothel lied like a stone near sofa.

“Interesting, no one in this brothel seems to know that a corpse is lying here for…” She kneeled near dead man, who was her client once.

“Three hours? No one entered this room? What a joke…”

“Nice try, trying to look innocent that is…” Someone said, someone she did not expect.
In a corner of her eye, a shadowy figure was notable.

Someone with guts big enough to sneak upon her.

“You got guts, that I tell you…”

“Thank you, I won’t ask why you killed him, and later made it look like you didn’t…” Voice belonged to a man, possibly in middle age when considering posture that she caught glimpse of earlier.

She stayed silent, it’s been a while since someone noticed her trick. Trick used to cover one thing that lied beyond this damned place.

Every time particular someone wanted…it, he or she had to die or give up, simple as that.

“I also won’t comment what you’re trying to hide…” Now these words made her wince, whoever that shadowy figure was, he knew too much. Also there was something off about his voice, a crackling sound that appeared after each two words or three.

“Fine, what is it that you want? And before you prolong this unnecessarily, it is obvious you want something, for we are talking.”

“Geez, relax Midget, it’s me…” She turned to see an old friend pulling hood down, and mask off. At that point his voice crackling from time to time made sense, a small detail she partially missed at first.

“You…don’t scare me like that! Anyway, what do you want?”

“Oh, you know I love scaring you, it’s always fun to see you panic and…” He stopped, noticing she’s not amused.

“Alright, alright…just a simple delivery to my normal family outside.” That made her chuckle.

“Simple? Normal? They are not normal…”

“Oh, shut it will ya? Listen you scratch my back, I scratch yours, simple as that.”

“Fine, take care of it…” She pointed at the corpse.

“While I take care of your delivery, group?”

“Yes, gathering in front of north gate, being new mailmen will be useful, and you get to observe some of the individuals you were interested in, isn’t that great”

“You peek into my things far too much Ratie.” She got up, kneeling for so long was tiring, and now she had to reach north gate.

“Yes, yes, yes I know, but you like me, don’t you?”

She sighed.

Why does it have to be so complicated…
