VICTOR PERFORMING HIS PARTING GIFT

  "Where do you think you are going?"  Victor asked Irene, who was getting ready to pack her things.

Ever since the day of the incident, Irene stayed there in the villa with him, because Ken told her to do so.  As Victor also refuses to hire other people to attend and get close to him other than her, Ken keeps on begging.

So, because she has a very 'soft heart' she's already here for a week straight.  Still surviving by keeping wearing that man's clothes.  How insane is that!

But today, as Victor fever and health seem to get better or she should say he is actually completely healthy, she decided to get back on her life.  Her home sweet home, that she miss.

"What do you think?  Of course I want to go back to my house.  Do I need to stay here and borrow your clothes forever?  Its definitely crazy."

"I didn't mind by that."  Victor said really means it.

Irene made a face a little.  She seemed to already predict that the man would say such a thing.

"I mind about that. After all, you're already healthy all over.  No need for me to keep on watching you for 24 hours now.  Eat your medicine on time and you will be just fine. "  Irene still had time to remind the man.

"If I didn't know better, it sound like you're worried about me."  Victor said.

"Of course I am worried about you."  Irene bit her lip because realizing her slip of a word.  But next explaining, "It's normal for a human to get worried about other human after saw them getting sick, that is." 

Victor just smirks hearing that.  'Deny all you want, whatever it is, you will be mine in the end.' 

"Don't forget to come back tomorrow for work.  Sharp time.  I didn't accept your resignation before, remember?"

"I know already.  But, make sure you count this week as a work and don't forget to give me my salary.  Also...  Don't ever make me do twice of work just because you already fired all of your workers.  Its not my fault to begin with.  I never... ever... ask you to do so. "  Irene really gave the warning with a very serious face.  Told that she was not kidding.

Victor was silent for a moment.  Looks like he's thinking of something.  After a while, he slowly approached Irene, who was still busy packing her things.  Which is not that much, but, why she taking so long to pack anyway?  But not that Victor care of that.

"I want to ask you something."

Irene, who didn't realize that the man is getting closer to her, become shocked.  She looks at her back and found out that the man is just inches away from her making her flinch a little, didn't really like that close proxy.

"Geez... You surprised me." 

Irene stated while she stepping away a little bit.  Making a safe distance from the man.

"What do you want to know now?"  Irene wondered also what the man wanted to ask her again.

"You already know who I am, yet, you don't seem to be afraid of me.  I already give you a chance to stay away from my life, but you also deny the request.  I don't know if you are stupid or just acting ignorant.  But why?"  Victor conveyed what was gripping him at the time. 

Irene looked at the man in deep look.  Before decided to answer his question.

"To answer your question, I am not feeling afraid of you... at all.  Victor that I know is someone that kind, and always helping me when I need it.  You always appear at the time I needed the most.  Even it intended or not.  But that's what I saw in you.  About your way of life, as I said it before you must have a reason that I don't know, why you choose to be involved in that kind of work.  It's not really my place to judge, but after I read the confidential files before, all the people that you killed is a bad person.  Probably what you are doing by punishing them not according to law is illegal, but still... they are a bad person."  Irene said at length.

"Maybe I wrong, but that's what I feel about you right now.  And that's my two cent.  Did that answer your question?"  Irene waits for Victor reaction, but she gets none.

"Then, excuse me now.  I need to go or I will miss the bus."

Irene wanted to pass, but Victor in fast action grabbed her arm.  At once stooped Irene's steps then.

"What now?"  Irene rolled her eyes as she looked at the man.

Stiff.  Victor's tongue suddenly feeling numb not knowing what to say.  Slowly, he let go of the girl's arm and then he smiled.  Before he finally said,

"See you tomorrow."

::Victor Mission::

Victor is getting ready in his black car for his last mission, order by Bennet.  His parting gift.

He put the silencer to his gun even though it wasn't necessary as that night, the rain was falling down too heavily alongside with lightning rumbling here and there.  Surely no one could hear the sound of the shots.  But, he is always a 'prepared' man.

"Do you really want to go alone?" 

Ken asks as he is still worried about Victor, who just recover from his sickness.  Even the mission is not that difficult, he still worried. 

As this mission is not that big scale, only both of them is out in the field.

"Are you insulted me?"  Victor, who was wearing his signature half mask asked, with a sharp look towards his best friend.

With that, Ken raised both his hands in as a sign of surrender.  Didn't want his friend to be too emotional before his mission was carried out.  This is a piece of cake, Victor will be fine, Ken assured himself.

"Estimates will be completed in 10 minutes."  Victor said confidently.

"More than that I will approach you whether you accept it or not.  Because I don't trust Bennet in the slightest.  Who knows if he's playing tricks or something."

Victor did not comment anything on the matter, as Bennet is famous as someone that always played tricks.

After wearing black gloves, black combat boots, also a black raincoat with a hood covering his hair.  Victor is now fully prepared.

"I'm off."

"Don't forget to wear your ear piece!"  Ken reminded.  He will be on the line, while Victor did his greed. 

Victor, opens the car door and get moving at a fast pace to find the target.  He didn't actually make a research about this target as usually whoever working with Bennet must be someone that horrible.  Never once Bennet hires someone that clean to be in their organizations.  At least that's what he thought right then.

In the house, Victor finds out there's two more people living with the target.  So he, using the trick that he knows, make them faint as both of them are not the on that list that he should harm.  Before, he continues to kill his target.

Bang!  Bang!  Bang!

In fast, Victor enters the house and killed the target.  Not just one shot, but three shots to the lethal points of human life.  Head, neck and heart.  To make sure that the killing is a success.

But, when he was about to get out of the house his eyes caught on something.  The familiar face inside the small picture frame.  Who is there smiling while hugging the target that he already kill. 

Slowly, Victor approached the picture, holding it close trying to examine whether what he was seeing was true. 

Trembling.  He is in a state of panic now.  He realizes that the person he killed has something to do with the girl.  The girl that he cares the most...  Irene.

Probably because of his instinct.  He took the picture and search around the house to find if there any more trace of the girl.  Afraid if Bennet knows anything about her.

From the information that has been given to him by Bennet that target only have one son.  Not mention of a daughter at all.  But looking at the picture, he knows, that target is her father.  Luckily the girl is living alone away from her family now.

After that, he comes closer to the man that is now lying lifeless on the floor.  He knows he can't afford to bring that person back to life. 

Realization hit Victor after that.  He began to imagine the sad face of the girl.  He also began to imagine the face of hatred that the girl might have directed at him if all this had been revealed.

And now, Victor is shaking for the first time after he kills someone.  His strong and fast breathing began to be heard from Ken, who was on the line.

"Black?  Are you okay?  It's almost 10 minutes now."

But, Victor was only able to remain silent there.  Kneeling at the edge of a blood -stained corpse.  He also grabs his heart, that beating so fast as the panic attack now resurface.  Attack him more severely.

Ken immediately knew something was wrong at the time.

"I'm coming in."
