Yes, it's a mobster's life for you.

"Yes." You nod, "The old me is gone forever."

"Done." She pushes the blanket to the side and throws her legs over the side of the bed. She isn't bashful about her body whatsoever. "Could you pass me my clothes."

You look over at her tattered bloody leathers. "Uh, let me find you something else."

Heading out of the room you negotiate with the old lady of the house and after some picking and choosing you reenter the room with a light blue checkered summer dress. She is still seated on the edge of the bed. Looking up she says, "You've got to be kidding me."

"Sorry. The old lady was the only one close to your size. It's the best thing I could find, everything else looks like it was made in the 1950's." You say apologetically.

Rolling her eyes she grabs it from you and slips it on over her head, grunting a bit from the pain in her ribs. After she cinches the waist and puts back her hair in a pony tail she turns to look at you. She made that old dress look GOOD.

She's all business. "Okay, tell your old name and address and I'll do the rest."

You hesitate a moment, this was it. Once this decision was made that was it, your old identity was gone. You also worry about trusting a globe hopping assassin you'd just met. If this was going to work you had to trust someone. You give her the information, adding a few other details that might make her job easier. She nods. "Give me a few hours once we're back in the city and it's done."

"Good, let's go." You say.

You let the goon outside the door know she was working for you now. He shrugs, "Good stuff boss."

When you reach the living room you inform the men there that you were headed back to town. Louis comes storming into the house. He turns the corner and enters the room.

"Boss, I think that..." he catches sight of Soo-yin at your side, "What the fuck!" He goes for his gun but is disarmed and his knee is stomped and bucked under him before anyone even knows what is happening. The assassin steps back and hands you the gun then puts her hands up so the other men don't gun her down. You take the pistol, blinking in disbelief.

"Ah!" Yelps Louis, "You fucking bitch! Take her out you idiots!" He holds his knee in pain.

"Hold on! Hold on!" You say, "Calm down everyone. Soo-yin is working for us now."

"WHAT!?" Exclaims your right hand man. "Boss, we should really talk about this."

"Plenty of time for that on the drive home." You pass the assassin the pistol. "You want to keep this?"

Soo-yin shrugs. "Nah, I'll just take it again if I need it."

The men stifle a chuckle. Louis' face flushes in rage and embarrassment as he stands up and snatches the gun from your hand. "We'll talk...boss." He storms back out of the house, with a slight limp.

You and the others head out of the house. Heading toward the Beemer Soo-yin whispers to you. "Just drop me off anywhere in the city and I'll swing by the mansion later."

You nod without saying anything. Louis is already sitting in the vehicle as you arrive. Opening the door you say "After you." to your dangerous new friend.

"You've got to be shittin me, she's riding with us?" Louis says.

"Of course." You say as you follow her into the car. She sits between you and Louis.

"Boss, I'd really like to talk to you about this." He says, exasperated.

"No worry." Says Soo-yin, "Me Engrish no good."

"We'll talk later boss." He sits and stews for the duration of the trip.

The drive back to the city is quiet. You stare out the window deep in thought. Soo-yin sits still, hands folded on her lap. Louis just steams. The goons up front are oblivious to it all. As you reach the outskirts of the city you feel a little nudge at your side.

"Pull over here." You order. The car comes to a stop.

You get out to let Soo-yin out. She pats your shoulder. "Stay safe Mr Calabrese, I'll see you soon."

You nod. She turns and leaves, disappearing down a side alley.

As you take your seat back in the car Louis is already ranting and raving. "What has gotten into you boss? She was hired to kill you! We don't even know this bitch! What makes you think she'll work for you? This is probably a ploy to get to you, to fuck up the business!"

"Calm down. Trust me. She could be valuable." You grip his shoulder to try to calm him. "I made her an offer she couldn't refuse." Even you cringe a bit at that line.

The car is on the move, heading back to the mansion.

"Boss, you've been actin really weird since we picked you up yesterday." Louis says.

"I'm tired Louis, feeling a bit off." You look him in the eye. "Just stop worrying. I need you to keep it together, okay?"

He is still upset but didn't want to say anything more. "Sure boss, you got it."

The car makes its way back to the mansion. You pull up, one of your men opens the door for you. As you get out Louis stays in the car. "I gotta go do some work, I'll catch you later boss."

"Okay Louis, see you later." Louis was catching on, something was going to have to be done soon.

The car pulls away. You turn to face the mansion. 'Home sweet home.' You think.
