I will not die

[WARNING: There's an action ahead so expect some violence!]

Dàmn it, Reid cursed as he avoid Aisha's bullets. Picking the table by his foot, he kicks it upwards and as the table goes up in the air, he kicks it again to Aisha's direction.

Picking up his gun on the couch, he runs towards the flying table. Seeing the table approach her with such force, Aisha grab her katana and with a "swish", the table was split into two. As Aisha cut the table, Reid use this as his chance to attack her.

Reid smash his gun towards Aisha's face but Aisha was able to block it by her left hand which is holding her gun, and she flipped her katana so that the handle of the katana is facing Reid and thrust it into Reid's abdomen.

Seeing the action, Reid thrust his knee upwards to kick the handle but Aisha was able to control the direction of her katana and thus the handle was smashed into Reid's jaw.

"Fvck!" Reid cursed and took a step back. He spit some blood and he feels his chin swelling.

Noel will fvcking laugh at me if he saw my beat-up face!

Raising her katana towards the direction of the harlots, without her eyes leaving Reid, Aisha orders, "Leave this room in this instance and escape. If I see you roaming around this bar and gets in my way, I will kill you."

This frighten the harlots and could only run as fast as they can, leaving a cold, deadly Queen and a confused Reid.

She let them escape? So this bar isn't the reason why she's here? Reid asked in his mind.

This is no ordinary bar, it is also a an organization whose business is prostitution. It is not a surprise for the mafias to take part in prostitution but the De La Torre clan was always against it and raid more than hundreds of organization who sell women for s3x.

If she's not here for them, then she's really here for me! Reid curse at the back of his head. Since this room is for VIPs, there are no windows around here and the only entrance and exit is the door behind Aisha.

When Aisha was sure that no one is here except for her and Reid, she immediately run in his direction and when she's close enough, she jumps and kick Reid sideways. Reid cursed as he blocked Aisha's kick mid-air, and twisted her ankle. Aisha following his action and also twisted her body and using her other foot, and kicking his hand that is holding his gun.

Strangely, Aisha also drop her gun and using Reid's body, she step on it and jump backwards.

Reid was bewildered by Aisha's action. She could've use her katana to strike him down, but she didn't.

What is she planning?

While confused, Reid instinctually reach for his gun underneath him. Gripping the familiar coldness of his gun, he stare right into Aisha's emotionless eyes.

"I don't know what's your business with me but I will end you right here, Queen." Gone was the womanizer man earlier, and replace by a cold person with such terrifying aura. All was left is a mafia who is ready to kill and die.

With that being said, Reid shot his bullets towards Aisha's direction. With keen eyes, Aisha block Reid's bullets with her katana. Her katana is shaking due to the force Reid has when he fired. Gripping the handle tightly, Aisha sways her katana into the side and the bullet hits the wall.

Reid fires multiple of bullet towards her but Aisha dodged it and she throws her katana into the air. Reid knew that it was only a way to distract him, so he didn't stop firing bullets towards her but instead of dodging it, Aisha runs towards him, not minding that his bullets are grazing her skin.

Aisha clench her fists, she jumps a little and punch Reid. Reid use his gun to block her punch, and give Aisha a strong kick in the abdomen that sends her flying towards the ceiling. Aisha felt pain in her stomach but she ignores it and grab her katana mid-air and her feet touches the ceiling. Bending her knees, she kicks the ceiling and attacks Reid from above.

Reid use his gun to block Aisha's blade. His hands are shaking, and with that moment, Reid punches Aisha's shoulder but Aisha also managed to kick Reid's head.

Reid's vision blurs and he was shaken up by Aisha's strong kick. Aisha also felt her right shoulder dislocated because of Reid's strong kick.

But that didn't stop their momentum.

Quickly reloading his gun, Reid was about to fire again but Aisha was much quicker than him. Aisha thrust her katana towards Reid's shoulder. Feeling the blade going through his skin, Reid gritted his teeth and use his free hand to grip Aisha's katana from going any further towards his shoulder, and aim his gun towards Aisha's head and fire.

Aisha, not expecting at the sudden risky move, her hands immediately reaching for her saya[1] that is tied in her waist, and use it to slam against Reid's hand that makes Reid's fire to miss but it still cut off some of the strands of Aisha's hair.

Reid was completely in a disadvantage place, he was no weak but his oppenent cannot be underestimated.

Dàmn it! I cannot die here! I still have to...

Reid let go of his gun much to Aisha's surprise. Using both of his hands, he pulls the katana out of his shoulder despite Aisha's brute strength.

"Sorry," Reid spit out some blood. "But I ain't dying any time soon."

Aisha was surprise when he pulls her katana out of her grip. Reid clenched his jaw as his hands stings, blood is dripping from his hands but he needs to take what it means to survive.

Reid successfully get Aisha's katana from her and pull the katana out of his shoulder.

Aisha almost curse as Reid use her own katana against her. Reid slash the katana upwards and Aisha stops it using her saya against it.

Aisha was feeling a little lightheaded. She can't perform that great because she is dead tired and she hasn't got any sleep for the last 24 hours. Nevertheless, she can't lose.

Because Aisha's right shoulder was dislocated, she doesn't have much strength when she block Reid's attack. The impact of Reid's attack is strong that it she feels the pain goes through her arms and through her shoulder.

Clenching her teeth, she push Reid using her saya and reaching for her other gun in her waist, she fires it towards him.

Reid cursed as he dodged Aisha's bullets. He's not a swordsman, he was use to hand-to-hand battle and using guns.

While dodging Aisha's bullets, he secretly moves where his gun is.

Aisha noticing his moves didn't bother stopping him. In fact, she intentionally fires at the direction where it surely lead him to where his gun is.

Or rather... Aisha's gun.

Quickly grabbing the gun, Reid aim it at Aisha's hand.

"Fvck!" Aisha didn't have time to dodge it and her left hand is bleeding. Her shoulder is injured and now her left hand was shot.

Fun-fvcking-tastic, Aisha mock herself in her head. But...

"It's over now, Reid." Aisha mutters as she rest her saya in her shoulder, making her look more bàdàss than she already are.

"What do you me---" Reid's eyes widen in surprised.

My... body! I can't move it!

In the personalize van, Noel suddenly stops playing games when he remembers something when he was fighting Aisha three months ago.

"What's wrong, Noel?"

"Ah, nothing," Noel looks at his phone which displayed the familiar two letters--- K.O. and say, "I seem to have forgotten to warn Reid about Aisha's signature move."

The others seems interested about what Noel is talking about and stop whatever they're doing.

"I think I'm the only one living who knows about this, others who experience it might have died already."

"What signature mover are you talking about? Isn't Aisha is a swordswoman and a sharpshooter? She's also good at hand-to-hand combat."

"No, that's not all." Noel encounters, memories from the fight flash through him. "Aisha had that signature move that makes one person paralyze."

"Probably scared shït. Everyone who face us does it." Amber rolls her eyes at Noel and continues hacking her next target's bank transaction on U.S. Bank.

"Poison. The perfect weapon for a snake[2]." All of them are startled when their Boss spoke. They all thought that their Boss is sleeping.

"Poison?" Some asked.

"In this world, betrayal is a normal thing." Nicholas state since it was his understanding by his Boss statement. Snake could be use to describe a person[3]. "So it was safe to say that the Queen of the De La Torre has been betrayed before."

"And by poison you mean...?"

Noel nodded, his fingers tapping against his phone as he plays a game. "If I'm not mistaken, her katana's blade is laced with poison that either paralyzes your whole body or kills you. I'm not sure but either way, I'm pretty lucky that I survived back then."

Back in the bar.

Aisha walks towards Reid, and take her katana in Reid's grip. She daren't lower her guard against him, after all, he was still a remarkable mafia. A strong one too. It was such a shame that it has to come an end like this.

Aisha admitted that if she don't end the fight now, she might lose for she's not in a good shape to fight any further.

Reid gritted his teeth as he stare right into Aisha's cold violet orbs.

"Sleep tight."
