“Target neutralized” she announces as she hears footsteps approach behind her

“Excellent.. Was he alone?”

“Do you think I would have taken him out if he weren’t”

The man folds his arm

“You just never can be too careful Bette. Gio wouldn’t want witnesses”

“Tony I have staked him out for two weeks. I knew his schedule like the back of my hand. He was always alone in his office at this hour and usually left around 9pm.  No one will find him till morning.”

Tony places a hand on her shoulder

“Great work Bette…You certainly deserve your code name Scorpion…Let’s go…Cyrus will have the car waiting.  We shouldn’t waste anymore time here”

Bette nods and follows Tony down the stairs and out to a back alley way where a black sedan was waiting where a man and a woman were getting into

Bette nods and gets into the front passenger side seat closing the door and puts on her seat belt. She turns and glares at Cyrus as Tony takes the driver seat and drives out from the alley and back onto the street heading in the direction of the condo.

“What’s with the look Porter?….You know your face is starting to wrinkle with that permanent scowl you have on your face.  You”ll never find a woman looking like that. I’m sure you scare them all away.  Must be why you are alone now”

“Oh shit Cyrus! You done it now” Alexis replies as she moves as close to the door bracing herself as she glances at Bette in the front seat

With annoyance growing in her Bette reaches down her pants leg pulling out a handgun from the strap hidden underneath and whipping it around to Cyrus and pointing it at his crotch.

“Say it again asshole and that sack of raisins you are carrying around will be blown all over this vehicle!” Bette pushes the butt of the gun and brings it closer.

Cyrus gulps and brings his hands too protectively protect his crotch.

“Jesus Bette!…I was kidding….I’m sorry… You know I didn’t mean anything by it.”

Bette’s anger starts to subside and withdraws the gun putting it back in the holster underneath her pants leg.

Alexis tries to stifle a laugh as she notices a wet spot when Cyrus removes his hands from his crotch.
