As Far As She Knows
[3 Days before the First of the World Meetings]
The clicking of black leather high heel boots on the cold tile floor could cause the bravest person to get tingles up and down their spine. Her icy blue eyes were fixed in an icy glare that could make anyone shiver.
The city was asleep, the roads were empty, and every house had every light turned off, except one light in one room. The room she was heading to.
She finally reached the door at the end of the hall, she stopped momentarily to adjust her fur lined collar, and smirked before gripping the doorknob with a gloved hand. She slowly opened the door, lifting the door slightly to make sure the hinges didn't creak. As soon as the door closed, she turned to face the man who had his back towards her.
He was hard to miss yet hard to spot in a crowd. He wore his nation's uniform with pride. He had a creepy disposition and never had a simple mind set. And as far as she was concerned, he was the worst nation in the world.
His voice echoed jarringly in the study, that was a mess with papers, books, and notebooks filled with information on a plan that would spin the world into a third war, "You're late."
She shrugged and dropped a empty vile on to the paper covered desk and replied emotionlessly, "By thirty-four seconds".
The younger man turned around slowly and approached the desk, he grabbed the vile and tossed it in the air and swiftly caught the vile again. He gave the woman tired look before saying, "You're still late".
All the woman did was shrug before saying impassively, "It has been done". She began to turn around to leave but the man seized her arm and pulled her roughly over causing her hip to slam into the steel desk, she could smell the smoke in his breath he whispered harshly into her ear, "Who said you were done?"
The woman kept a straight face and stared blankly into the man's eyes as he asked her, "So, how was it?" The man turned, pulled out a cigarette pack, took out a cigarette, lit it, before inhaling deeply.
The woman smirked at the question before answering, "Oh, it went very well. She is quite talkative when she's talking to someone she thinks is an stranger, not family. Also it's quite easy to slip poison into a Bloody Mary mixed with vodka".
The man gave a light chuckle at that before he gave the woman a questioning look but before he could open his mouth, she said, "As far as she knows, she has mercury poisoning."
"How long till-"
She interrupted, "Someone else notices? The day of the first meeting."
"Good", the man laughed and faced the woman, placing his hand on the edge of his desk, while leaning front to look her straight in the eyes, "Why did you agree to poisoning your own sister so quickly?"
The woman copied the position the man was in, and leaned forward, almost nose to nose with her sort of friend and replied coolly, "You know how bad sibling rivalry can be."
She pulled the cigarette out of the man's mouth before pulling the man into a kiss, when she pulled apart she put the cigarette back in the man's mouth, gave the man a saucy wink, walked straight over to the door, and before the door closed behind her, she called, "спокойной ночи."
They had nothing special or really anything between them they were just partners. After all, the woman was strange, cruel, a sadist, a tease, and cold. Very cold.
The man just huffed then smirked, before he himself walked out the door, but he just walked over to the fourth room on the right. He opened the door slowly, before looking at the angry face of his brother and started laughing. His brother looked him straight in the eyes as he walked over and spit in his face before saying, "You're a madman."
"Well, only a madman can do this", he pulled a knife out of his pocket and sliced upwards on his brother's chest. His brother clutched his chest and fell to the ground to get kicked in the face. He stared at his bleeding brother before smirking and saying with mock sweetness, "Goodnight". And with that said he kicked his brother in temple, knocking out his weak brother.
Yay! Another confusing as hell chapter! Okay, here's a hint to who the woman is, first off she isn't a country, she's a part of a country. She is one of my OCs that I really like. Sorry, no hints to who the man is, you can keep guessing who he is. Also this story's at almost 1,000 views! Thanks to all the people who favorite and/or followed this story.
