Letty's POV
I pulled my car up outside the front of the club once more after completing the drop off. Cutting the engine I got out and locked the doors behind me, tucking my keys into the inside pocket of my jacket. I got half way to the door when two guys stepped in front of me and I paused. I could tell by the looks of them they weren't going to move, so I had a choice; fight or flight.
"Can I help you?" I asked with an attitude.
"That depends now doesn't it? Hand over the money." The bigger one out of the two spoke up putting his hand out.
"I don't what you're talking about man but I suggest you put that away before I hurt it." I snapped and the guy threw his head back and laughed.
"Feisty little one isn't she." The other spoke running his eyes down my body and I gave him a disgusted look in return.
"My eyes are up here man." I snapped and he grinned.
"It's not them I'm interested in sweet heart." The smart arse joked as the other guy laughed.
"So I'm going to ask nicely again, hand over the money." The first guy asked again.
"And I'm going to tell you again, I don't know what you're talking about." I said as I tried to side step them but smart arse stuck his hand out halting my getaway.
"Looks like we'll be doing this the hard way then." Number one asked as he cracked his knuckles. I rolled my eyes at these two idiots and wondered who they were.
"Look like it." I said sarcastically as I grabbed the second guy's arm and twisted it suddenly as he spluttered in shock before I twisted it around to his back harder and shoved him face first down onto the ground. The other guy finally got his act together and came at me but I dodged him, giving him a swift kick to the back as he fell on top of the other guy who had been trying to get up.
"Come on guy, I'm sure you can fight better than that." I taunted slightly. I knew it was probably a bad idea angering them considering I knew nothing about these guys and I was on my own, but I had to remind myself that I had a gun as back up.
"Bitch." The first guy swore as he threw a punch but I grabbed his fist before it hit my face and twisted his arm around like the last guy, delivering a swift kick to the back of his knees as he fell to the ground. Holding his hand to his back as I reached for my gun I pulled it up to the guy's head as I looked over at the other guy who looked startled at the sight of it.
"So as I was saying before, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just here to meet a friend. So I suggest you go back to where ever you can from unless you want a bullet put through your friends head." I spoke clearly as the guy froze.
I frowned as I heard clapping start from the alley way as I looked over seeing Carlos come out with a couple of other men. I assumed they were his body guards by the way they eyed me wearily. I looked between him and the guy that I had spoken to not sure what was going on.
"Impressive. Very impressive. When you told me your talents I think you left out fighting." He said as the guy I was holding started to laugh and I threw him down to the floor suddenly, catching him off guard.
"This was a test?" I asked annoyed as I stowed my gun back where it came from.
"Of sorts. I wanted to make sure you were the real deal before I offered you the other job." He spoke as he took a couple of steps towards me with his hand outstretched. I pulled out his wad of cash that I had collected, slapping it into his palm.
"And am I?" I asked crossing my arms in front of me.
"You just took down two of my best men." I laughed and shook my head.
"Then you need to get some better ones." I said seriously as both the guys I fought glared at me.
"Clearly. So Berlin is yours if you think you're up for it." He offered and I thought it over.
"Not saying I'm taking it but if I did how much are we talking?" He grinned eagerly.
"Fifteen Million over the course of ten jobs" He said proudly and I tried not to act surprise but I failed as his smile gave it away.
"Like I said, I'm very generous with my employees." I hesitated and looked uncertainly at him.
"What's the catch?" I asked knowing an amount like that would carry something in return.
"No catch." He spoke.
"Really?" I asked unsurely.
"If there is one thing I am Lia it's a man of my word. There's no catch. Per job you do you get your share of the money up front. You can pull out at any point if you wish to and whatever money you have earned you keep. Though I will say this, if you wish to leave I won't stop you but I do hope it doesn't come to that. I don't particularly like replacing employees last minute." He said and I nodded in understanding. It was a pretty awesome deal and fifteen million was a lot of money, money that would keep us going for a long time.
Can I have some time to think about it? I have something else I need to deal with first." He stared at me, thinking something over in his mind before he nodded once.
"Will four days be enough time? The job starts in five days." I nodded and he seemed happy with my answer as he clicked his fingers for one of his men to step forward. He handed me over a card and I looked at it for a moment. It was contact details, his I assumed, so I tucked it away for safe keeping.
"I'll be looking forward to hearing from you Lia." He said before he and his men disappeared into the club once more.
'I was getting too old for this shit.' I breathed out a sigh of relief as I calmed my racing heart.
I made my way swiftly to my car, I slammed it into drive once the engine started and floored it back onto the main street. I sighed trying to figure out what to do. I had my bag with me and my room had been paid for, all I had to do was hand in the key. I knew I was probably safe to stay the night but with this new offer I wanted to get back to Leon as soon as possible. We needed to come to a decision on this job and though I knew what his response was going to be I was prepared to fight. We needed this cash.
