“It’s okay,” he said.
“I’m fine.I think I’m fine.”Several seconds passed, Anastasia wasn’t sick, and she closed the door.He pulled away from the curb and continued driving.“How are you not panicking?”
“It’s not the first time I’ve had people after me.”
“But you’re the Gnesin Bratva ...killer, right?They call you the ghost devil,” she said.
This made him laugh.“You think I’m a ghost devil?”
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you.”
“You have?”
She shrugged.“I don’t know if any of them are true.”
“Don’t believe every rumor you hear.”
“What rumor would you like me to believe?”she asked.
“None of them.”
Some of the rumors were true.He had killed people with his bare hands.He could hunt and find anyone that was a target.The rumor that was not true, he hadn’t sold his soul to the devil to get where he was today.Everything had been achieved with hard work.He had not stopped until he was the best at everything he did.
They drove for two hours, until he came to a small building lot.The gates were electric, and he entered the code, getting the gates to open which would allow him to pass.Anastasia was quiet as he drove in.The gates closed, and he drove around the back, parking in the garage, and sealing it up.
To the outside world, there was no one here.Once inside, it was a safe house that took him underground to the basement, designed to be secure.
“Wow,” Anastasia said.“This is like some kind of secret spy stuff.How did you do this?”
“I had an idea and worked to see it through.”He wasn’t about to tell her that the people who worked on this place were all dead.
This was the most secure location he had, even more so than the cabin.He would have brought Anastasia here first, but he wanted her to enjoy the outside world.The cabin was not known, and he had no idea who had leaked the location, but he was going to find out.
He turned off his cell phone, then smashed it open to make sure there was no tracker inside.
“What the hell?What are you doing?”
“Someone knew how to trace me to the cabin.”His cell phone was clean.“I’m not taking any chances.”Next, he checked over his bag and every other item in his possession.Nothing.
Anastasia just stood there.
“So, you believe this order has come from Gnesin?”Anastasia asked.
“There is no one higher that could do this,” he said.
“You’ve made a lot of enemies?”
“Most of my enemies are dead, and those that aren’t would not be stupid enough to go through with it.”He opened the box on the wall and typed in the necessary security codes that would keep them safe.
“What’s going to happen now?”
“I need to figure out what Gnesin’s end goal is,” Dmitriy said.
“How are you going to do that?”Anastasia asked.
“Start from the beginning.Your parents’ house was not burnt.It is still standing, which now that you point it out, seems odd to me.”
He made his way across the hallway and pointed out each room to her.“Kitchen, dining room, bedrooms.”
