A Painful Passion

Ch.2

Jackson sat in a room full of many members of the elite organization he was employed to. He wasn't here to ask for anything, he knew better then that. He had fucked up, he had let the target slip away and was caught in the process. Though it wasn't entirely his fault. There was that Lisa Reisert he could blame.

"Now agreeing to these terms tell us that you wont let a repeat of the last mission"

Jackson smiled and ran a hand through his hair.

"Let me assure you, nothing like that will ever happen again"

"Good., you are dismissed"

Jackson nodded and stood up. He walked out of the conference room and breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall that was outside. He was so happy they had taken him back, if they hadn't he would've been a hunted man and he wouldn't have the protection. Shaking his head he pushed himself off the wall and then started walking down the hallway to his old desk. Not watching where he was going he bumped into someone, causing them to spill all there files everywhere on the floor.

"Shit, sorry"

"No it's ok...happens all time"

Jackson knew that voice, he looked up to find the young Jessica Stuart kneeling there next to him picking up the papers. She looked up and her mouth sort of made a 'ugh' noise and she rose quickly taking her papers. She made to pass him but he grabbed her arm tight and stopped her.

"Let me go!" She hissed under her breath. Jackson smiled.

"Jess...where is she?"

"Whhhere is wwwho" She stuttered.

Jackson narrowed her eyes and pulled her into his office, slamming the door shut.

"Don't fuck with me Jess. Where is Cassie? Come on... I only want to talk to her..."

Jessica shoved off his arm, "Remember the last time you to 'talked'"

"So it got a little out of hand"

"You put her in the hospital!"

"SHE SHOT ME IN THE ARM!"

Jessica shrugged, "Well you kinda deserved it..."

Jackson did not look pleased. He crossed his arms, Jessica sighed and put her hand on her head.

"Look Jackson, she isn't here..."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean...through..done, doesn't work for the company anymore. Some things happened...and she left. No one has heard from her since"

Jackson nodded and walked over to the door and opened it, beckoning for her to leave. Jessica stopped in front of him and patted his shoulder.

"Sorry..."

Jackson smiled and shoved her out, "Always loved our little chats Jessica" She rolled her eyes and walked away. Jackson shut his door and walked back over to his desk. He ran a tired arm though his hair and leaned back in his desk. Suddenly he smiled and sat up straight, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey. Yeah it's Jackson...yeah I am back. Look I need a favor"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aw is my little pumpkin hungry" a young cat circled around her master hoping to catch some of the fresh fish drop off of the cutting table. Cassia gave a small smile and looked out her window at the bay in front of her. This is who she was suppose to be.

Cassia Turner...former assassination, now bartender. She didn't really mind, the money was enough and she was happy, not that her last job didn't pay well, hell it paid more then enough. Which is why she saved it all in the bank. She doesn't need it right now. She lived in a beautiful small condo on lake Michigan. She was happy...content. And after what happened...she shook her head.

"Thats the past" She replied to the air. A cat's meow cut into her thoughts.

"No this isn't for you, but, since you are such a wonderful animal I think I can give you some" The girl bent over and handed the cat a piece of meat. The cat took it in her mouth and ran over to the other room, gnawing away at the wonderful meal her master had given her. A phone rang in the house, but the cat ignored everything but it's prey.

"Silly kitty..." The girl wiped her hands on the towel next to her kitchen table and walked into the living room, "I am coming , hold your horses" She picked the phone up off the charger, "This is Cassia..."

"Hey Cass its Marge I was wondering if you could come down today. Three people called in sick and I need you to cover"

"Sure thats fine...what time?" She picked up a pen , prepared to jot it down.

"from midnight to 3"

"Midnight to 3..uh huh, ok thanks"

"Your a doll"

"Just to you"

They said their goodbyes and Cassie ripped out of post it note and waked back into the kitchen and put it on her bulletin board, she always did this with messages. She knelt down in front of the kitty and patted her back.

"Mommy getting some money tooooonight" She sang, "But you don't care do you?" The cat ignored her, "thats ok, long as you're happy, mommy's happy"

Cassia got up and walked into her bedroom shutting the door, she needed some sleep if she was going to be working late tonight.

About 8 hours later Cassia checked herself in the mirror, making sure that she looked alright she walked out of her room down the hall and into the living room. She grabbed her jacket and keys to her car.

"By meowsers" Her cat sat on the couch and just stared at her licking her lips. Cassia smiled and opened her front door and then the screen. She walked out closing the door behind her and locking it. She tugged her coat closer to her body as she walked to her driveway. A rustle in the distance startled her. She turned around and then shook her head. Unlocking her car she got in and put the keys in the ignition. Driving off to work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am leaving Marge!"

"Ok doll, thanks for your help, I paid you double for it"

"Aw, your sweet"

"Only for the best"

Cassia smiled and took off her hat and placed it on her locker in the back of the bar. She grabbed her coat from her hanger and put it on. Yawning she grabbed her purse and keys , she walked back into the bar and there was a commotion going on. She eyed Marge who rolled her eyes and began to walk over, but Cassie put her hand up and said she would do it. Walking over to the corner she saw two guys pushing and shoving each other.

"Hey...HEY!" She yelled getting in between them, "You two either back the fuck up or get out, this aint a boxing ring"

"Says who cutie. YOU"

One of the men stated pushing her hand off his chest.

"I swear I will take you out myself"

Chuckles were heard from the growing crowd. One of the guys laughed and shoved her hand off his chest.

"Yeah cutie..you and what army" he asked shoving her into the other man. Cassia pushed herself off the guy and looked at Marge. She just smiled and nodded. Cassia smiled and then turned back to the man, punching him square in the jaw, she he was about twice her size but she was able to catch his arm and twist it back almost breaking it and shoving him onto one of the unoccupied tables. She leaned to whisper in her ear.

"Look prick" she sneered, "It's 3 am, I am tired, aching, and would like nothing more then to go home and crawl into bed before coming back here to deal with assholes like you. I have a cat that is very hungry and doesn't like when I am late, so are we going to have anymore problems?"

"Nooo..nnnoo"

Cassia turned to the other guy, "Any problems?" He just shook his head with wide eyes. Cassia turned back to the man beneath her and then pushed away from him.

"Go home" She hissed before tying her overcoat. She smiled and waved to Marge goodnight who did the same. Cassia turned and walked out the door and then to her car. She got in and put her hands on her steering wheel and sighed. Looking down she noticed she had busted a knuckle.

"Fuck!"

She turned on the car and then drove off back home. Getting out she walked up her porch steps and unlocked the door , before going in she looked behind her and noticed there was a nice Mercedes parked a couple of blocks from here. Shrugging she stepped inside her house. Dropping her coat on the couch and the keys on the table she shut the door, locking it as she did.

Walking down the hall to the bathroom she shut the door. She opened the cabinet to get the first aid kit and then began to clean her cuts. Suddenly a sound of clatter broke her train of though. She frowned and opened her bathroom door, and looked down the hall, placing her towel on the sink she walked out of the bathroom. Walking into the living room she saw her cat on top of the couch and next to it a bunch of papers had fallen off the chair. Cassia smiled and shook her head and walked to pick up the papers. She then went into the kitchen and opened her cabinet to pull out a small glass, making herself some tea she leaned against the counter sipping it, not wanting to burn her tongue. She got up and then went to walk to her bedroom. But as she walked through the area of the conjoined room, she was suddenly grabbed, actually shoved into the wall on the other side. Making her spill her hot tea on her. She didn't have time to react, she was pinned to the wall, her back pressed up against her attacker. A voice hissed into her ear, one she knew way to well.

"Well well well my little Cassia" She struggled against his grasp, he just pushed harder, "Since when was it alright for you to drop off the earth and make a new life"

"Thats none of your business...Jackson

She butted her head back knocking him straight in the nose, this gave her about a 10 sec lead, she raced down the hallway and into her bedroom. Slamming the door shut, she looked around her room and then zeroed in on what she was looking for. Running over to her bed side table she opened it up to reveal a 9mm Glock 19 model. She checked to make sure she had ammunition. Suddenly an Jacksons arm wrapped in front of her and pulled her up against him.

"Forgot the bathroom access my sweet"

"Asshole"

She elbowed him and then pushed away his arm, when she turned around she was able to grab her gun in the other hand and positioned directly at his temple.

"One more move and your brains go over my floor"

Jackson smiled, "You kill me. You die" he tilted his head down to where he was looking. She looked down and saw that he had his knife position right over her jugular. No one was going to win this. Cassia narrowed her eyes.

"What the fuck do you want Jackson"

"Cant a man come talk to his wife"

"How dare you even say that. Besides, your showing one hell of a hello"

"Could say the same for you"

Jackson took this opportunity to knock the gun out of her hand and then went forward pushing her down on the bed, covering her mouth and his body covered her. She thrashed and screamed under his touch. He grabbed her neck, giving it a squeeze cutting off her air.

"Now now...You know I wont do anything to you, that isn't my style"

Cassia relaxed. She knew she had more air if she didn't move.

"Now can I take my hand off your mouth and you not do anything stupid" he hissed the last part at her.

She nodded. He released her and she turned over coughing. Jackson sighed and sat on the edge of the bed next to her, taking out a handkerchief and wiping his blade, there wasn't anything on it, this was just a habit that made him feel better.

"You know Cassia, I was a bit surprised when I came back and Jessica told me you had run"

"I didn't run" She said with staggered breathing. Reaching one hand under her pillow slowly, Jackson not noticing her moving away.

"Oh really, pray tell then sweetheart why did you leave the organization?"

"Want to know the reason?"

"Sure why not, if it will help you sleep better at night"

She took a breath, grasping the object in her hand, "I left...so i wouldn't have to see you're ugly face again" She turned suddenly and smacked Jackson across the face with what looked like to be the butt of a desert Eagle pistol. Jackson put his hand to head cursing but not before he was able to grab Cassia and bring her so that she was standing between his legs. He locked them shut so she couldn't move. He growled and put a free hand to his, wiping the blood that was trickling down his forehead. He moved her so that he was straddling his lap. He held one hand behind her neck and pushed her head forward, they were inch's apart.

"Who the FUCK sleeps with a desert eagle under their pillow" He hissed. She tried to movie but he was stronger and kept her in the same position.

"Didn't seem to mind not to long ago. Matter in fact, Wasn't that a big turn on for you?"

"Your infuriating"

"And you're an asshole...my my what is that Jackie"

She looked down at his neck. She smiled, as Jackson narrowed his piercing blue eyes to her.

"My my..that ms Lisa got you good huh...got any Pen's I can borrow?"

Suddenly her face crashed with his. Their mouths connecting, at first she tried to fight it but brought her hands to his face and pressed more urgency. Her body grinding against his was to much and Jackson flipped her over so that he was on top. Cassie growled beneath his touch and he ran a hand his hand down her body. He moved his kiss down her jaw to her collar bone, knowing the exact spot that made her met in his touch. He smiled at the moan he created form her, she was his. He brought his head back to hears. Kissing her roughly he spoke, "Your mine Cassie, whether you want it or not. I own you"

"You would like to think that"

"Oh but its true...the day you said I do was your mistake. I'm not going anywhere"

The rest of the night was filled with so much anger and passion none of them knew if they would survive it. One thing they both knew for sure, their lives were about to change BIG time.
