It was a hot afternoon. I was riding a car with an air conditioner though so the heat was not a problem. My problem was the people that were inside the car with me, they were a much bigger problem.
 
All of them wore black suits. The woman on the front seat was their leader. I was sitting on the back seat, right in the middle of two huge, bulky people. I barely could move my body and feet. As I took a glance around, they immediately looked at me with sharp eyes. I wasn’t only pressured physically, but also mentally.
 
Let me get to the point, they were mafias. Criminals. Simply put I did something that they thought was unpleasant and now they’re gonna punish me. What’s the punishment you say? I definitely could see what they were planning, as I saw the car started to head for the sea and towards the cliffs.
 
“Out, pretty boy,” The woman in black opened the door after the car stopped. I couldn’t see her eyes as she covered them with su

I’m done, I thought to myself as I sat on my sofa. A super expensive sofa made of high quality materials that no way I could buy if I was working my job as a lawyer normally. That means no evidence forging, no blackmailing the witnesses, and no bribing the judge. That means doing an honest job as a lawyer.
 
A lawyer for the mobs, yeah, that was me. My job was making sure nobody from the familia get caught. I could do whatever I want as long as I could keep them outside the prison. Of course, by doing all those foul things, I got filthy rich. The Don really believed me and everybody on the familia looked up to me as I was some kind of hero.
 
But everything changed this afternoon. The trial that changed everything as I didn’t do anything to ensure my client’s safety. Yeah, I didn’t do those dirty deeds so some of the familia’s bigwigs had to stay behind the bars. I became a traitor, and I had to be punished.
 
No no, it’s not be

The name was all I need, was not a exaggeration. It’s really all I needed. Add that to the fact that she’s a beautiful woman and would leave quite an impression, it would be easy to find her identity. I had access to the archive that had all the data I need. It took some time, but in the end I found who was Audrey Hauck. The result baffled me.
 
That year Audrey Hauck was 25. She’s the eldest of three sisters. The middle sister was 20 and the youngest was 16. They lived in a house near the shore, just the three of them. Audrey graduated from a nursing school, and currently unemployed as she was fired from her last job in Barrett Medical Center—and it wasn’t the first job where she got fired.
 
That’s the general information about her. As there were still many questions in my mind, I decided to dig deeper. Why was she fired from her job several times? What happened to their parents? How come she had an amazing aquatic abilities? I found a pi

“Argbl… Grrrrbl….!”
 
It’s mind-boggling how a little girl which only half of my height could hold me down like this. Her arms were as thin as branches, yet it felt like I was being held by a wrestler. No sign of muscle as far as I could see. Yet I couldn’t move even an inch. Truly, water was their element.
 
But then I realized that it was not the time to marvel at the amazing strength of this girl—my air was currently reaching almost zero. Water already entered my lungs and soon everything would go pitch black. It would be the end of everything—I haven’t even started my plan yet.
 
Several seconds later my body was starting to lose strength. I was still able to keep my consciousness, but it was starting to fade. I was pretty sure that I was done, everything was over. The stronger I denied it, the faster I inhaled water. Eventually I gave up, but that’s when I saw a shadow closing in from the surface.
