<span style="font-style: italic">Ohâ€¦theyâ€™re deadâ€¦alrightâ€¦Ohâ€¦theyâ€™re deadâ€¦alrightâ€¦" </span>The girl slumped to the floor trying to fight the panic that naturally swept itâ€™s way through her body. All Eric could do was watch this with a slight frown. She had inadvertently not answered his question. It was fleeting but he had a feeling she did not know exactly who had hired for  her death warrant. That could be a problem if she thought they were all dead than she was wrong. Of course three of the five are dead by his hand for past assignments but that didnâ€™t need to be mentioned to her as to why it mattered. He was an assassin by choice and in order to pay him people have to have a lot of money and indefinite proof the culprit was at fault. However , the people that hired him had money but very little proof. He was no detective but hell he was good at finding little faults in stories, and by god he would be a damn good detective. Not once did he shift his foot or body as  Vanessa struggled to conquer her own demons.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I might be sick of running, but Iâ€™m not going to make it EASY for them. It used to be fun to frustrate them. Anyway, whatâ€™s it to you if I did it or not?" </span>That was a wonderful question and at that he moved from leaning on the door way to kneeling in front of herâ€¦but not as fast as he had pinned her to the wall. He wanted her to see that he had a little compassion.<br/><br/>"That is my business but if you must know I donâ€™t like dealing a death that is not deservedâ€¦to be able to take someoneâ€™s life is a sinâ€¦I just like to take those that are worthy into deathâ€¦meaning if they are corrupt, and evil I take their life. Of course Iâ€™m also a double standard type of guy. Your death warrant was made fast and with very little factsâ€¦I am in the knowledge that you may just have been a threat. However , if you want to die that fast I could just take it." He whispered in her ear placing a hand gently on her shoulder. Then just as fast pulled away and moved and slammed the door shut. After that he twisted around to watch her once again curious with her reaction.
