Chapter 4
Demimondaine
Cassandra opened the room door to find her customer waiting. She could see a smile touching the corners of his lips at her appearance.
"Finally I get some action tonight." he said
The man walked over to her dropping an empty bottle of wine from his hand. By his demeanor and the strong smell of alcohol on his breath, she could tell that he was heavily intoxicated.
"So what's your name?" Cassandra asked.
"Richard. And you?" He replied
"That's not important. Take off your shirt and let's get started." Said Cassandra
While Richard unbuttoned his shirt, Cassandra took her suitcase and threw it onto the king size bed.
"Take a seat in the chair and relax." Said Cassandra
As he sat down, Cassandra opened the suitcase full of her toys and took out a pair of handcuffs. Walking towards him she walked behind the chair and cuffed his hands. Then she massaged his shoulders, rubbed up his neck, forcefully rotated his head, and then gave him a hard slap across the face.
"More" Said Richard
Cassandra walked back to her suitcase and pulled out a short leather whip
"Ready for the action now danger boy?" She asked
Cassandra walked in front of him and started smacking him with it.
"Yeah baby do it harder" Shouted Richard
As Cassandra slapped him around, she scanned her eyes around the room for anything obvious. She could see that there was a hidden camera behind a mirror, but that wasn't the thing that she was looking for. In the middle of the room was a painting of a plain white door.
"Bingo" Thought Cassandra
"C'mon bitch give it to me." Shouted Richard
Cassandra quickly snatched the empty champagne bottle of the floor and shattered it across Richards face, knocking him out. Then Cassandra kicked him along with the chair down to the floor.
"Stupid prick"
Cassandra took out a small cellphone from her bra and dialed a number.
"Hello Alice? Its Cassandra. I've got something here you might want to see. Come down to the G-Spot club near Verona Beach and go to room number 4. Don't worry it's just business and remember to bring a camera."
Hanging up, Cassandra walked back to her suitcase and took out all the accessories that were inside. She took each one and carefully placed them on the floor next to him and all over the bed. Then, Cassandra took out a pair of tight leather gloves and walked to the plain painting. Taking the picture down revealed a safe hidden in the wall.
"Ah. A Flange 900. This shouldn't take very long." Thought Cassandra
Cassandra took her suitcase and placed it on the floor next to her. From a hidden compartment inside the case, revealed an array of safe cracking instruments.
The safe's lock was secured by a four digit keycode. Noticing this, Cassandra takes out a screwdriver and tampers around the edges of the electronic panel. Finally opening under the panel revealed a system of colored wires. Cassandra took a blade and cut some of the wires. Reaching into the case, Cassandra then pulled out an electronic scrambler and hooked some of the connecting wires to the machine.Patiently waiting until the scrambler would finally reveal a number, Cassandra started to sing.
Why do birds suddenly appear
every time you are near?

Just like me,
they long to be,
close to you.

Why do stars fall out of the sky
Every time you walk by?

Just like me
they long to be,
close to you.

"I should consider taking singing as a career." She said to herself
Typing in the code, Cassandra propped open the door to find another lock and this one was secured with a dial that required a combination sequence. Pressing her ear on the door of the lock, Cassandra made rhythmic turns of the dial, but after several minutes, the lock gave no response to opening.
"To hell with this."
Cassandra took out a miniature cutting torch and cut around the hinges. Then Cassandra completely removed the door containing the lock.
"Jackpot."
Before Cassandra plundered inside, there was a slight knock at the door. Cassandra walked over to the door, looked through the peephole, and smiled. Opening the door in front of her was Alice with her camera in hand.
"I can't believe you brought me all the way to this freak show." Said Alice
"Believe me. It was worth it. For what im about to show you, you're definitely gonna owe me big time." Said Cassandra
"Well what is it Cass?" Asked Alice
Cassandra moved out of the way so that Alice could step inside. When Alice walked in, she immediately dropped her camera and held her mouth in surprise.
"Is that who I think it is? Is that Richard Kestner? One of the CEO and head members of the multibillion dollar Zaibatsu Corporation?" Asked Alice
"In the flesh." Said Cassandra
"What are you crazy! That the hell did you do?" Said Alice
"Im giving you a story. Besides . This guy was as filthy as they come. You've wanted to nail the Zaibatsu for a long time right? Well now's your chance. Just take the damn pictures." Said Cassandra
Alice picked up her camera and started taking photos.
"This is amazing. These are going to be some scandalous pics. I can't wait to see how's he's gonna think of something to talk his way out of this. Thanks Cass. I owe you a bunch." Said Alice
"Yeah whatever." Said Cassandra as she walked back to the safe.
Searching inside, Cassandra found large wads of cash, pouches full of stones, bags of drugs, secret files, emergency credit cards, keys to a Turismo hidden in a garage in San Fierro and other things.
"Ooh pretty!" Said Cassandra as she opens the pouch full of jewels
Cassandra grabs the bags full of drugs and throws them out on the floor next to Richard.
"Be sure to take pictures of those too." Said Cassandra
"Um Cass? He waking up!" Shouted Alice
Cassandra quickly ran over to where Richard lie and kicked him hard in the face, knocking him back out.
"There. You want some of the spoils?" Asked Cassandra
"No thanks. How did you learn to open that thing anyway." Asked Alice
"When I was younger, I had a part time job working with a man named Cam Jones. Taught me lots of stuff." Said Cassandra
Remembering the camera, Cassandra went and grabbed it from behind the mirror. Cassandra started to smash and break it, but instead she had a better idea.
"Use this too. Just remember to erase the parts with me breaking and entering and you taking the photos." Said Cassandra
"You had a tape to record all the things that happened here?" Asked Alice
"No. He did. You could use this to your advantage. You've got photos, and now you've got a video" Said Cassandra
Alice took both camera's and put them inside her backpack.
"Here take this too." Said Cassandra handing her a disk
"What's this?" Asked Alice
"A computer disk. Found it in the safe. Im not very fond of computers so you go ahead and take it." Said Cassandra
"So now what?" Asked Alice
Cassandra packed all items from the safe into her suitcase and zipped it up.
"Now we leave the scene. C'mon lets go."
Both women quickly exited out of the room.
Dona lie in the bed with the man that she was assigned to kill. He caressed her long hair, kissed her back, breathed on her neck, and whispered sweet love lines in her ear. Dona always charmed her targets into doing what she wanted before she killed them. She was a nympho. Money, Jewels, or whatever it was, she could get it from them. She was that good. The man she was with now, Hank Spencer, was scheduled to testify against her employer tomorrow. She was to make sure that he wouldn't make it to the courtroom.
"This is too good to be true." Said Spencer
"Well it's happening isn't it?" Said Dona
"What's your desire?" asked Spencer
"Excuse me?" asked Dona
"Anything you want, ill get it for your you. Money, jewels, clothes, drugs, anything that you desire, it yours if you be with me." Answered Spencer
"Anything?" Asked Dona
"Tell me." Said Spencer.
"I do want one thing from you. I've wanted it ever since I met you which was today." Said Dona
"What is it. If I can I get it for you ill do it." Said Spencer.
"Oh believe me it can be achieved." Said Dona
"So?" Asked Spencer
"Okay. I want you to die." Said Dona
"What!"
Hank turned and looked at Dona to meet with a pistol aimed at his forehead.
"Surprise baby!"
Dona cocked back the hammer, and fired.
