Assassins Fall (closed)

She got in the truck sitting there shaking she balled up some processing it all. Finally words found their way to her lips.

He... He had never done that before. Sending another to my room. Why... Why that deal mean so much to him to do that? It... It is good you do that... Now he cannot start a war.... Even his allies are gone.... This...this is good.
 
"What's your name?" Mason asked as he drove. She had mentioned a war, he knew nothing about that. It wasn't his job to know the politics behind it. He was to kill and that was that. He had sent off pictures of the dead to his handler. He had done his job to the letter, less one. He had taken a woman from the compound. this may turn to be a bad decision but he stood by it for now.

"He was scum. I am sorry for all you've been through. I will keep you with me for a few days then drop you off in a place you'll be safe with some walking around cash." He explained to her. He had enough gas to get him all the way home except for the impassible jungles and rivers between him and home. He was to be picked up in nine days time. He always waited in the first major city he could find, there he would lay low till he was picked up. After nine hours of driving they pulled into a small city with a nice albeit run down motel. He paid for a room with cash, he stowed the gear and then he and the woman parked the truck a few blocks away in an ally, wiped it down and they went back to the motel. He ordered some food from the front desk.

"Tell me about yourself?" He asked and taking a wet cloth and some antiseptic Mason went to address her wounds.

I am Adrianna. She answered as they drove and then once in the motel as he asked about her she bit her lip and stared down at her hands.

I... I have been married to him since I was 19. He had never even accepted another looking at me the wrong way. Then tonight rolls around and to seal a deal he gives me to the young man nearer my age.

She shook her head.

When we first met he was so protective so loving. Occasionally his determined passion to protect would get the better of him and I might end up with a bruise or two but slowly... It got worse... He got worse.
 
"Pleased to meet you Adrianna!" Mason said as he handed her the cloth and the aniceptic. "You'll need to clean your minor cuts, I also suggest you wash up!"

Mason set up his bag for a quick extraction. He cased the cars and trucks, noting which were in good repair and would be taken should they need a quick exit. He heard the couple in the next room as they were fucking their brains out. He had to smile, oh to not have any real worries!

"I burned the villa to the ground! But can you think of any one that might come looking for you should it be discovered that you are not there?" He asked her.

Soon food came, Mason paid the man in the hall not allowing him to see into the room. "Eat! I am sure you are hungry."

She nodded and hurried off to get cleaned up. The shower felt so much more relaxing knowing Alvarez was gone and she was free. Walking out she had changed into a soft sweater and pants to relax. Hearing his question she thought for a moment.

No... I can think of no one.

She was still a little scared at everything that had happened but the smell of food helped ease that fear a little.

Who are you? Why did you do this?
 
Mason watched her eye the food, Adrianna was obviously hungry. She started to ask questions. Mason had to think what he would tell her and what he wouldn't.

"Just Call me "M" like the James Bond movies! I am a specialist, who was paid to kill everyone at that Villa! I don't know why I saved you! I guess I just saw a victim! I guess I saw a woman who deserved a second chance!" He said. "Please dig in. I do want you to know though I am not a man to trifle with. I will kill with out a second thought. So I do ask that you do not make me regret saving you! Your husband had powerful enemies! Enemies he underestimated. The best thing now is for the world to think you are dead. Is there anywhere you can go? People you can trust?" He asked taking some of the food for himself and sitting on the bed.

Adrianna was a beautiful woman, Mason had not been with a woman for a very long time. His line of work didn't afford him the luxury of a girlfriend or a wife. Safer for all parties involved if he remain alone. But that didn't stop him from wanting female company from time to time.

KC
 
No one... No where to go...

She bit her lip still studying this man who had saved her yet made her truly alone now. She took a tiny bit of the food.

Only person I have in any way outside of Alvarez and all of the other dead is you... For saving me.
 
Mason had no idea what pandora's box he had opened with her. Never would he have thought that she was that much of a kept woman. More and more he was glad Alverez was dead. That kind of scum had no place in society! Civilized or not!

He tried to calm her, he had many questions but they would come slowly. He saw that she wasn't ready just then to answer 20 questions and he was determined to make her comfortable now.

as they sat in relative silence, he started to nod off. He was a light sleeper so he wasn't worried about her. Should she so much as roll over he would wake. He offered her the bed and sat in the worn out love seat. He soon closed his eyes and was getting some much needed sleep.

KC
 
Sleep found her quickly when she laid down a sleep that was peaceful for a time. With all that bad happened however her mind did not hold that peaceful sleep for long. Eventually her sleep turned go dreams and those dreams to nightmares. Talking in her sleep pleading with Alvarez to stop... Apologizing repeatedly. Her slender form struggling as if trapped beneath someone, crying and pleading for him to do this.

Her nightmare refusing to release her wake from the hell it replayed over and over in her mind.
 
Mason woke to the young woman thrashing about. She was gripped in a nightmare it seemed. The horror of which was beyond anything he could imagine. Seeing he was usually the one a nightmare was based.

As it became clear to him that Alverez was the subject of her terror Mason cursed the man. He went to the bed and grabbed her to keep her from flailing about. He pulled her into a hug as she woke from the hell her mind was in. "It's ok! You're safe!" He repeated this several times holding her tight to him in a caring embrace.

KC
 
At first she tried pushing against him till she did fully wake and saw him. She looked around quickly as she remained in his embrace. Once sure there was no one there but the two of them she curled into the safe embrace and hugged him close.
 
Mason just held her as long as she needed, all night if that was what it would take. Though he was planning on kicking her to the curb soon, he also knew he had a woman who was more caged animal then free human being. He would do all he could for her to allow hre to move on from that scum.

"You're safe, you're safe!" He repeated and stroked her long raven hair. "I will not let anyone hurt you! You are safe with me!" He said to her. He wanted Adrianna to know that she was not to fear him any longer that he would not hurt her nor would he let anyone hurt her.

KC
 
She slowly calmed down and tried to smiles little to him in thanks for helping her. Her dark eyes studied his face as she listened to the soothing voice. Her arms relaxed but did not let go as her eyes once again grew heavy with sleep and she drifted back to sleep safely in his embrace.
 
Mason held her as she slept. This was not how he operated but he felt that through all the death he cased he needed to save just one and she was the one.

He sat and went through the scenario's for some time, where would they go? What would happen to her after? Could he bring her back to the states? Would he? Should he? His mind was calm but clouded. He looked down at her and kissed her forehead.

KC
 
Nightmares seemed to stay far away from her in his embrace. She awoke later that morning still curled with him. Hoping he had gotten sleep as well she dated not stir any. Not out of fear but strangely enjoying the warmth.
 
The sleep, when it came was peaceful, not a common thing for men in his line of work. He had to attribute this to the pretty young woman in his arms. He opened his eyes as she moved ever so slightly, Mason smiled.

"We need to lay low another night then I will take you to the coast! There I will make arrangements for your safety and... Well we will deal with that when it have to. So for starters lets eat what do you feel like this morning?" Mason asked as if they were old lovers or friends from log ago. He gave his head a shake. He had to think straight for all their sake, She was so beautiful and this was not helping him think right. He knew deep down he wanted her, badly. But he would keep his head on straight and not do anything stupid. At least not right then!

KC
 
Whatever is fine... Coffee definitely.

She smiled at his kindness and calmness around her. It helped her feel safe.
