Chloe & Trixie 4 Maze 12
"Fun Decker, it'll be fun, why didn't I keep my mouth shut?" Maze muttered.
The job had started out simple enough, but gone to hell pretty much immediately. The Cauldron was neutral ground for the gangs, Latino, black, Asian, Russian, the place was full of gangers and jumping. Her mark had arrived, together with half a dozen friends, making the job even more difficult, and that was before another ganger had spotted her, she'd collected one of his buddies a few months back and he'd recognised her. She'd had to fight her way out, leaving an impressive collection of unconscious and broken gangers in her wake, all the time worried about Decker.
The blonde had vanished as the hue and cry had gone up, she was definitely out there though; Maze had come across a couple of unconscious gangers, definitely Decker's work. Maze could almost have admired how silent and hidden the woman was, if she wasn't so worried about her.
"Where the hell are you Decker?" she muttered. Backing up against a pillar she glanced around the edge and took in the room, plenty of people partying on, with so many guns in the room no one was stupid enough to start shooting, it'd be a blood bath, so the fight had been hand to hand, most of the patrons ignoring them, fights in this place were all too common.
She spotted her target across the heaving dance floor; he and three friends were making their way towards an outside door, drawing a snarl, no way was he getting away after everything that had happened. She moved quickly from one pool of shadow to the next, slipping between groups, ignoring the come-ons as she passed through the room quicker that most would imagine possible, following her mark out the door, right into an ambush.
"I don't know who the fuck you are bitch, but you're dead" Maze stopped dead; the mark and his three friends had guns out, pointing straight at her. She noted the bouncers carefully backing out of the line of fire and grimaced, they weren't even a decent distraction.
"Hector Costanza, there's a bounty on your head for skipping bail and I'm gonna collect it" She caught movement in the periphery of her vision and frowned, then kept talking as she evaluated her foes. "You can come quietly…" Maze shrugged. "Or not, but I'm collecting"
"Bitch, all you gonna collect is a bullet" One of the others was even more stupid than she suspected.
"Maybe we should use her first, that's some fine ass right there" Maze grinned; if they were stupid enough to let her get close to them it was all over. Costanza though shook his head.
"Nah, I heard about this one, she's some kinda freaky martial arts bitch so we'll just waste her right here an now" It was right then that a familiar sight stepped up behind her mark, pistol out and, taking a step forward pressed it against the back of his head. Chloe's voice was low and angry.
"No one's getting wasted tonight, unless someone's stupid enough to start shooting, then a bullet's gonna go right through your brain" The smile Chloe gave was so cold it even made Maze shiver. "Your choice"
Costanza froze, then turned his head to see the woman behind him, eyes widening at the cold gaze the blonde woman had turned on him.
"You're bluffing" Chloe's voice didn't change.
"Only one way to find out" Her eyes flicked to the other gangers then back to Costanza. "So what's it gonna be Hector, your friends put their guns down and walk away and you live, or someone does something stupid and I put a bullet right through your head?"
"You're full of shit bitch, you won't do it" Chloe didn't waver, the look of fierce resolve on her face stunning Maze, she'd never seen Decker like this, for the first time she truly realised exactly why the Lord of Hell found the woman such a fascination, it wasn't her looks, instead she was all power and anger and strength, all held in careful check.
"You're holding a gun on my friend; you really wanna make that bet?" Costanza looked into the eyes staring at him and saw something there, something he didn't want to unleash.
"Fine" He lowered his weapon and shrugged. "It don't matter, I'll get out and when I do, I'll come looking for you, both of you cunts" He sneered. "I'll make both of you my bitches before I kill you" The crack of Decker's pistol whipping across Costanza's face was loud in the night, taking everyone by surprise.
"I'll be looking forward to it" Decker said. "In the meantime put the gun down and get on your knees" In the distraction Maze had moved up and snatched the gun out of the hands of one of the gangers, drawing a bead on the other two.
"You heard her, drop the guns and get on your knees" In seconds the three were face down on the street as Costanza was quickly cuffed, blood dripping from the gash on his face as the bouncers looked on, quietly admiring the two gorgeous but obviously bad-ass women.
Five minutes later they had a blindfolded Costanza in the back of Maze's van as they made their way downtown to hand him in.
Maze looked across at the blonde woman sitting there, seeing the resolve fading away to the woman most people saw when they looked at Decker. Maze though, she now knew better, there was something inside Decker, something that blazed fierce and powerful.
Catching her watching Chloe looked her way and gave a sardonic smile as she spoke, her voice all fake sweetness and light.
"Well that was fun, got any other good ideas for a Saturday night?"
