From the hazy fog, emerged a man, clad from head to toe in black. The serene atmosphere clustered around him as he black fedora sat leisurely on his head. His tall height had the female craning her neck upwards, only to take a glimpse of his stone-cold eyes because the lower half of his face hid underneath the black handkerchief wit white imprints that knotted behind his head. Her grin morphed into a playful smirk, "Keeping secrets, now are we?" Without uttering a word, the man motioned for her to follow and indeed she did, "This better be fun." She spoke, with her words carrying a hint of danger as she strolled through the streets behind that man, only to arrive moments later before a large, grey building that dominated the area. They walked inside, only to be hit with the chilled air that caressed her bare neck as her legs were covered with black stockings that peeked through from underneath the short, burgundy pleated skirt. Her torso was embraced by the black button down that tucked into the hem of the skirt. The tapping of their footsteps bombarded through deadly silent and dull corridors until the man stopped before a dirty, metal door.
Halting behind him, she glanced at the door, letting a chuckle take over, "I'm guessing this is where he's kept." The man, throwing her a blank look, spoke for the first time, "The Tessio member is held captive behind this soundproof door. You already know what you have to do but use only your fists." He glanced towards her soft, but slightly rough hands before digging his own into the inner pockets of this coat, bringing out a hideous balaclava that he tossed at her. "Wear this before you go in and if anyone finds out that you are working for the Martello Family, you will die." His threatening tone would usually send shivers down anyone's spine, but not Nora's. On the contrary, her grin widened as she mockingly spoke after letting out a fake gasp, "Oh my, how frighting." She held up the balaclava to the height of her face, using the tips of her finger to hold it, "I'm sorry to disappoint you but this really isn't my style. However, since you're asking so nicely, I'll put it on." And so she did. Slipping the black cover over her head, her ebony hair slipped past it, taming and falling onto her back as her amused face was now covered, displaying nothing but her predatory crimson gaze that was strong enough to bore holes into one's mind.
