Well, well, well. You made it this far? Gotta say, I'm impressed. Bet y'all still wondering how the whole seventeen chapters you just read fit into the prologue. Fine, I'll tell you.

My name is Donniel Constantino and I'm an assassin. Remember that whole epic smack down I told you about at the beginning of the story? Well that's kind of how these seventeen chapters happened. Let's rewind for a second, shall we?

Five months ago

After months of pestering, Rhonda had finally convinced me to listen to her. Her location was pretty much anonymous and that didn't give me any confidence.

"So what do you want from me?" I had asked her.

"A partnership." She had responded whilst playing with the photo frame on her desk. "We both want the same thing. Or should I say person?"

I knew who she was talking about but I  had played dumb. If this was a trap, I wasn't falling for it.

"I want to take him down as much as you do. See, yours is not the only life he's destroyed." She continued when I hadn't said anything. "You want to take him down, Fox, but you can't do it alone."

"And why should I trust you?" I had challenged.
She had taken out a sheet of papers and tossed them to me.

"That's one of my agency's creations. The Beta-X formula. It's something we use for interrogation. Makes a person quite... Suggestive." She said.

"That's well and good but what the fuck does it have to do with me?" I had asked her whilst placing the papers on the table.

"Those papers were made in triplicate. One of them was stolen a couple of weeks ago." She said. "One of my sources tell me the formula made its way to him, somehow."

"You still haven't answered my question." I had said.

"This formula can be turned into a tool to control people." She had said in response.

Of course it's only the rich people who could be that dumb and create something that dangerous.

"If Lundy decides to create a drug to control people, who do you think he'll try it out on?" She ha asked. "You're being followed, are you not?"

How the hell had she known that?

"I have eyes everywhere, Fox and my agency likes to maintain good faith with everyone we're in partnership with." She had said in response to that unspoken question. "We could help you get rid of your tail. Or we could help you take advantage of it."

"Take advantage, how?" I had asked.

"He knows you're a fighter. He knows you'll do everything in your power to make sure he doesn't get you again. What if you let him believe he's won?" She had asked.

"You want me to let him drag me back to that shithole?" I had asked.

She must surely be out of her mind.

"Think about it. If he believes he's won, that he has you wrapped around his finger, he won't think about keeping his guard up." She had said with a wicked grin. "Because let's be honest, even you have figured out that the only way to get to a man like Alistair Lundy is to do it from the inside."

Present

She had been right. And I pretty much hate that fact. So I had let them get me. Don't get wrong I had given a good fight but I had let them win. Even when I had discovered that the one other person who I had let become my friend, Ibrahim a.k.a. Maze, had sold me out. Well, we all know how that story ended.

So what happened after Celeste took Ivy out of that place?

"Are you just going to stand there and let them get away?" Jade had asked.

Who is Jade? She's the Blondie you were all introduced to. I tucked my chain where it belonged and faced her.

"Do you have a problem with that?" I ask.

"But the contract.." She begins but I cut her off.

"The contract was terminated." I say. "Do you live under a rock or something?"

"Well, what about this one over here?" She asks whilst gesturing to none other than the backstabbing bitch herself.

Jade may still think I'm the brainwashed killing machine I was thanks to all the acting I was doing but I didn't have to pretend for this one.

"I'll take care of it. You may leave now." I say to Jade.

She smiles and gives me a kiss on the cheek. Ugh. She walks away.

"Hello, Don." Lisa says.

I'm still holding the katana I took from Maze. Wouldn't it be fun, killing a back stabber with another back stabber's sword? I manage to contain my hatred though.

"You have a death wish, Vipress?" I ask her.

"You may not believe this but I want to make up for what I did to you." She says.

"Please, stop." I say with a sarcastic laugh. "We both know how that ended the last time. I wanted your help and I trusted you to help me. I'm not making that mistake again."

"And I want to undo my mistake. Give me a chance, please." She pleads.

"You kept her alive," I say thoughtfully. "I guess for that reason alone I'll let you go this time."

With that I turn around and leave. My work here is not yet done. I still have some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of.

THE END
