“Why do you do this?” She asked me; her arms wrapped around my body. We are back to square one.

“I’ve told you…” I said. She looked up at me and I stared at her perfect lips.

“But you don’t have to…” She tried again; she still doesn’t get it. This is who I am; whether I like it or not or whether anybody likes it or not.

“You hate what I do… I get it… it doesn’t have to come in between us; you know… we don’t have to talk about it…” I said as I stared at her.

“It’s not that easy… you… damage people… people like you; they destroy innocent lives…” She said; I think I remember those words from somewhere; her eyes scared and desperate with the words she’s saying. Why is she doing this? “I can’t just let that slip away from me every time I’m with you…” She said smartly.

“Carmen; you don’t have to lesson me with this… I know exactly what my sins do to this world…. I bring people to the dark side of life; but it’s their choice… I didn’t force them too… unless you know; they’ve done something…” I said; her arms are no longer on me. It was a slow heated talk. “But if you think it’s a picture perfect world out there; you’re completely wrong…”I said easily.

“But don’t you want a normal life… the one where you don’t have to have eyes at the back of your head; strangers around you… a life where you can be free to do whatever

You want to do…” She shrugged and wondered at my answer.

“Don’t you see Carmen…? I can do whatever it is I want to do… I have the power to do what the hell it is I wanna do… and what’s even better; I have people to cover me…” I said arrogantly; but it was the truth… I can do whatever I want. I can control the city by black mailing the politicians that govern the area; with some weird fetish that they don’t want the public to know. Anybody can do this really… but you need real guts to do it and of course… a notoriously known last name.
