It's been a week since I heard Scarlet and Soryu are in comas.
I found it odd that they both would succumb to the 'Dark sleep' as Scarlet so dearly called it.
"Alright, I call." I say to the bidders as I push in a stack of betting chips.
The guys and I are playing poker up in the penthouse lounge, and believe me, they thought I was kidding when I said I was good at poker.
Soryu and Eisuke exchange a look at each other then they bombard me with a four of a kind and a straight flush, two hands that I would normally freak out about and give up.
Not this time though. I lay my cards down and everyone's jaws drop; I set down a royal flush. The highest hand possible in five card poker.
I gather up the cash in the center and grin. Today was apparently my lucky day.
Right before anyone can say anything, CRASH! The penthouse windows are broken through.
And who is standing there? Nothing other than Victoria Swan. of the Water League.
"You're not the Scarlet Assassin." she says.
I scoff, "And I'm not a bitch like you. Are we on the same page?"
She looks shocked, "You're that pathetic little-"
Before she can complete that sentence, she is on the ground, my heeled boot on her chest.
"You wanted to say something?" I grin.
"You're weak Ob-" I press my shoe deeper into her chest cutting off both her air and her words.
She opens her mouth trying to speak and get air, "Come on spit it out, I don't have all day."
"Bi...tch" She coughs.
I pick her up by her neck and drag her across the room toward the window.
"I don't want to know how you got in here, but I hope that you can fly."
Her eyes go wide, and she scratches at my hand around her throat.
Then I drop her out the window.
