(It is set after John Wick: Chapter 2. If you have not seen the movies, do it! They're awesome!)
It had been a rough day and Fleur did not get enough sleep. She was used to work at night but when the neighbours turned the music louder and loved to run around in their apartment it was hard to get any sleep at all. But now everything was quiet and she had to leave for work. It was the best time of the day to kill someone. Not many people were outside anymore and nobody ever saw her. She left her apartment, looked around the corner and went to the place her subject would arrive soon. Santion D'Antonio used to be a friend from her parents and to kill the person who murdered him plus 14 million dollars was something she could need right now.
Fleur took a simple gun and as soon as she looked up again he appeared just in time. As soon as her target was there she aimed and shot. Sadly she missed and John noticed her. He took a gun and began to shoot at her. But Fleur would be a bad Assasine if she was not able to dodge or defend herself. She had been in worse situations and she did not care about the rumours about him. Everyone was vulnerable she just had to find his weak moment. Both continued to shoot and dodge until one bullet brushed her leg and caused her to fold over. It was enough time for the so called boogeyman to approach her. John pressed the gun against her temple and looked down at her.
"Stop! Wait! Don't..don't kill me..!"
Just as he wanted to end it he lowered his gun. John did not know why he did it but something told him that she could be useful. He just hoped that he would not regret it.
"I know who you are, John Wick. I know that you killed Santino. I want to know why. If you shoot me after it, do as you like. I won't beg."
Everyone else he met begged him to spare them but she was different. She did not beg. At least not for her life. She just wanted to know the reason. And somehow he told her the reason.
"He wanted me to kill his sister so he can claim her seat on the High Table. I had to do it. He wanted me dead because I killed her. He betrayed me, used me and then I killed him."
She did not need to know more. If she believed him was something he did not care about. After all, this was everything she wanted to know. Fleur just gave a short nod and leaned against the brick wall. Her ribs hurt and the fabric where the bullet brushed her leg was already soaked in blood. Nothing which would kill her but it hurt like hell.
"I could help you. Spare my life and I will help you. You have no friends, everyone wants to see you dead. You can not get help from the Continental and I am the only chance you have left. There is no guarantee that I do not lie, you have to believe me. But I also have no guarantee that you do not kill me."
This woman knew how to play and she was not ugly. She was definitely not ugly. But she was right. John lowered his gun and held out his hand. But Fleur stood up without his help, she did not need any help. A slight smirk appeared on his lips but it vanished shortly after again.
"I'm Fleur. Fleur Delacour. I will leave now and you will follow me after a few seconds. I do not wish to be seen with you. At least not for now."
Without waiting for an answer she collected her things, stuffed them into her bag and left. John did as he was told and followed her after a few seconds. With her having access to the Continental it would be easy to kill everyone who would come and try to kill him. She was someone he could need right now.
