Encountering the devil in disguise

Third person perspective

"Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves,

every single one of you. If you didn't

regard or respect Quinn when she was

alive just respect the fact she's dead. And

stop talking shit about her... Omg i can't

do this, you all her just too shameless ".

Julianna said as she flared in anger before

spitting at them ( the people who was

gossiping about quinn) expressing her

disdains and disgust. She kept on cursing

at them, some of them felt remorseful

while others thought she was a crazy girl

trying to get attention and publicity. At

this point, Julianna boyfriend, james, has

to come into the matter by dragging her

out of there.

" hey, let go of me ". Julianna said

struggling out of his grip.

" Am doing you a favor, by letting you out

of their before things goes overboard".

James said while dragging her out.

Julianna loosen his grip off her before

saying." A favor? . Those people talked

shit about my best friend on her freaking

funeral and i have to be quiet james? .

What do you really expect from me huh?,

is bad enough as the fact that Quinn is

gone and in addition to that i got some

low class bitches talking about her right

in front of her grave and that's the peak of

disrespect ". Julianna said with pure

agony and teary eyes. James understood

that she's going through a lot and wanted

her to depart from the pain and become

her normal cheerful and simple life loving

girl. He couldn't say much but he just

hugged her to let her stabilize her

emotions and let her calm down.

" babe am sorry for acting like a jerk.....

Am so sorry babe, i can't imagine the type

of pain you are passing through right

now, am so sorry". james kept apologizing

in a hoarse voice, she worked like a charm

to calm Julianna emotions. In minutes she

was soothing calm and trying to inhale

the tears back in and james was there to

comfort her.

" james, have you ever had the thought

that Quinn might still be alive and healthy

somewhere out there?". Julianna asked

having a feeling she might be able to see

her friend again, even if it was for one

day.

" oh, babe ". James said unsure how to

address the matter cause it was obvious

she wouldn't be alive.

" what ?. Why can't you let me just live in

my imagination ---- am h...u.r...ting here "

she choked down at the last part amd

james realize that she is just hurting really

bad and if this goes on,it might effect her

mental health.

" hey babe come here " he said trying to

soothe her to come to him.

" no i don't want to, go away , i don't

want to see you " she said as she ran out

in tears . James couldn't accumulate what

just happened and he was left in a state

of confusion for minutes before he

realized she has gone it was too late to

call her back.

Julianna was sitting on a stair case crying

on to her hands with her face down at

her lap level, when ryker approached her.

" such a waste of pretty tears, don't you

think now beautiful" ryker said as he sat

next to her which got Julianna alarmed

and she stood up almost immediately as

if she got in contact with a hot kettle

containing hot water.

" What do you want?, speak now or walk

away " she said seriously at him.

" Uhhh, feisty i like , but that's not why

am here. Am here to offer you a deal that

you can't resist". He said and Julianna

rolled her eyes at him clearly showing her

lack of interest in what he was about to

say.

"Am not interested ". Julianna said as she

made her way out .

" Will it interest you that it got to do with

quinn" . With quinn being mentioned she

pounce on ryker by holding tight to his

shirt in attempt to strangle him.

" uhh , kitten keep your claws to yourself "

he said while loosing her grip on him.

" speak now or you might get extinct".

She said staring daggers at him.

" Yo kitty , i just wanted to help you get

revenge on Knight slayer". After this

words came out of his mouth, Julianna

seem interested and let go of his shirt to

listen more attentively.

" go on " she said wanting to know more .

" Thank you " . He said as he unruffled the

part of his shirt she got a grip on

previously.

" Let's just talk in a restaurant so it will be

more confidential" . Julianna looked

around wondering if they were being

spied on but couldn't find anyone in

particular being suspicious so she agreed

to ryker request regardless.

As they walk out, ryker took out his jacket

and placed it on her head, which was

weird though Julianna didn't complain at

all.

Unknown to Julianna they was infact a

person who was spy at literally every

family at the event who got victimized by

the incident. It turns out he was the

assassin king cobra sent to kill knight

slayer but because of Quinn hacking to

his system that day, he wasn't able to

make it to the place he wanted to go to

and because of quinn, luck was on his

side. His first failed mission almost

caused him his head so he wants to be

more productive in this one and his

mission is to find the evidence of king

cobra that was originally in knight slayer

possession. He added up agreeing with

his conscience on following olly wife

home because her husband was the

leader so he assumed that her husband

must have given her for safe keeping but

he was hella wrong, though he thought

he was correct.

At the restaurant

" so how are you going to help me get

revenge". Julianna asked almost

immediately as they were sitted in the

restaurant. When Julianna heard him said

a restaurant she thought it was just a

close by diner or a local restaurant but

she was sitting on a chair from a 5 ( five)

star restaurant that was hard to get in

and it was one of the trending places at

that time in new york.

" you are so straight forward, pretty cool".

Ryker said sipping his espresso and

checking her out and evaluating whether

she is up for the task ahead .

He explained all the necessary

information to her and the thought why

he would wants to help doesn't skip her

mind and she spoke up about it.

" why are you willing to help " Julianna

asked intrigued by his kindness.

" let's just say i don't like when justice is

not being administered when it's neededand also for entertainment, trust me it

will be fun" . He said those words by

leaning dangerously close to Quinn ears

while standing up to pay the bills before

walking out, leaving Julianna stunned

about his carelessness and carefree living.

With the question that keeps making her

worried Who his this man and why he

wanted to get involved in a mafia game

because of entertainment and the answer

was he must be a dangerous man,

'only a

dangerous man' would do so or he just

holds enmity.

Julianna face palmed herself because she

didn't get a name all her overthinking

overshadowed the thought of getting his

name or something.

At the cemetery two eyes locked and it

was those of the assassin and james.
