A Job Well Done [L] [V]

Dolly’s been waiting for a long time, and in all honesty, she is becoming rather fed up.

It’s been raining for a few hours. It’s of no odds to her, with her umbrella nestled snugly over her shoulder, keeping the wet away from her candyfloss coloured pin curls. Even so, the brick wall she’s perched on is getting slippery, and the constant drumming of the droplets on the plastic above her head is beginning to irk her. A few sly dribbles sneak down the back of her neck and trickle between her shoulder blades.

Kai’s text clearly stated that he would be there between one thirty and three, and yet he is nowhere to be fucking seen, as usual. Does she have time for a smoke? Oh, what a dumb question – of course she does, because that jackass has no concept of timekeeping! Her sigh is beleaguered as she wiggles the pack out of her pocket with one hand and plucks a cigarette from inside it. With a twitch of her fingers, it’s lit and dangling between her lips, trailing smoke lazily. Magic has its uses.

Unsurprisingly, he hasn’t kept her updated on any change of plan. A wave of her wrist has the umbrella hovering, leaving her free to snatch up her phone and dial the douche’s number. He picks up on the third ring, which somehow is more infuriating than being left hanging.

“So you do have your phone, dickbag,” Dolly hisses. On the other end of the line, Kai has the audacity to laugh.

“What’s wrong with you? Calm down—”

“You were meant to be here an hour ago! We don’t have time for you screwing around,” She continues, scowling. “The window of opportunity to do this job is really narrow, and—”

“I’m busy, damn it!” Kai growls. After his words, Dolly hears the distinct, tell-tale sound of his guilt; small, feminine gasps punctuated by the slap of skin on skin.

“I’ll get it done. Enjoy your whore.”

It’s one less annoyance, really. Getting things done with Kai around was always a bit of a pain. He’s too fascinated with what he can tamper with, how he can screw things up; demonkind are prone to it naturally, but he takes to it like a duck to water. Having him occupied with a girl he’s undoubtedly picked up at some seedy backstreet club will make the whole operation cleaner and smoother.

The target’s home is a block or two away, and found with pinpoint accuracy by its hunter, having discarded her umbrella and cigarette in favour of a dark hood. Delightful place. High walls around it – shame that it does nothing to keep her out. Her fingertips seek cracks and divots in the concrete like they were made for it, and she hoists herself onto the second-floor balcony with ease. No lights on inside.

The shoddy lock on the sliding doors gives way easily to her lockpick. It feels… embarrassingly simple. Is there something she’s missing? Does this jerk know? Is he luring her into a trap? No. Surely not, she would have smelled a trick from a mile off. Even so, her hackles are raised, and she stares into the gloom of the master bedroom with scepticism. The lump beneath the blankets could be a decoy. Some poor soul paid to put their life at risk to keep debtors off the back of their employer.

Oh well. Life’s expendable.

Dolly approaches with near-silent footfall on the plush carpet, and slinks forward onto the bed. The figure rustles, then jolts when she swings leg over and settles her weight on its hips. Bleary-eyed, the balding man stares up at the stranger atop him and jolts, trying to scramble away to no avail.

“Mr. Denton?” She uses her best cutesy voice, complete with wide-eyed look of innocence. “Were you dreaming of me?”

“W-what—” He shakes his head. Comprehension of the situation has not yet begun to settle in his mind. There’s an attractive girl in his room, on top of him, and that is enough to blind him to all else.

It’s disgusting, but what more can she expect from this level of scum?

“Did you sleep well? No?” Her incisors are sharp and elongated in the moonlight when she grins. He watches as her hand slips wantonly between her thighs. “Then let me help you.”

Poor guy doesn’t see it coming.

The dagger is snatched from its holster on her thigh and drawn across his throat before he can blink, and Dolly watches with satisfaction as he convulses beneath her, clawing at the gushing, yawning wound. It’ll take him a while to bleed out. She has time.

Sticky with blood, she takes the opportunity to text Kai her success.

Dealt with Denton. Get tested in the morning, slut.

Huh. As much of a pleasure it was to watch the filth die so slowly, it made a hell of a mess, and Dolly wrinkles her nose at the crimson pool creeping along the sheets around her. Guy must have an en-suite in a house as fancy as this. She toes off her boots without a care in the world as she approaches the door opposite the bed, making a quiet noise of delight when she flicks the light on and finds a sizeable shower. It’ll do. She’ll lather up in the guy’s expensive bodywash and get the fuck out of there before the maid comes looking, or whatever happens with rich people.

As she turns on the water and steps under the hot stream – perfect pressure, of course – she is struck with the sudden thought that she will get the full pay for this killing instead of just a cut alongside Kai. Going solo sounds ever appealing. More work in certain circumstances, but so much free reign. So much power. Kai’s cute, and useful on the off chance, but unreliable and a total pain in the ass to work with. So, there’s no debate.

The only thing better than money is murder.
