"Would you mind turning around for me?"
With my heart in my throat, I did as he said.
"There... I must make a perfect headshot."
My chest rose and fell heavily until it felt like I was gonna have a panic attack.
"I always give my target a chance for their last words. I hold onto it as my own reward." He raised a little note as if to show he records them before shoving it back in his coat. "It's kinda like my memento. Any last words?"
"W-Who sent y-you...?"
He laughed. "They usually start begging for their life right about now."
"M-Maybe I wanna drag the person to hell with me..."
"Just know, gorgeous... There's someone out there who really, really wants you dead."
The door suddenly opened, and we turned.
"Am I interrupting something?" Athena asked.
The man pointed his gun at her. "Close the door, nice and slow."
Athena did as he said before he moved the gun back to me.
"After I kill her, you're next."
