KASKOVIT

As the plane touched the ground Anna had already regretted her choice of clothing. She had never been to Russia before and didn't know it was this cold.

The chilly air hit her skin as she exited the plane and she fought everything in her to go back but she had business to handle.

She was excited for this one as she didn't have her watchdogs behind her. She could finally make her own decisions without thinking of someone who was going to tell her to do this and that.

She knew that even though Mateo was always with her he was still loyal to Neegan. He died for Neegan but for Anna

A cab was already there to meet her and e wondered if the man driving her was the one who was supposed to take her to where she was going.

He looked like the people you good meet at the back of an ally and wider if they were going to kill you or not. His arms were covered in tattoos and his ears were pissed.

He hadn't said a word to Anna and she just sat there in silence and hoped this would go perfectly. It had to, she couldn't fail at this.

The better a busy town and took an alley and all she could see were fish shops After driving by five shops the car finally came to a stop.

KASKOVIT'S FISH MARKET

That was the name of the shop they stopped at. Anna opened her door and exited the car and stood beside it and waited for him to at least say something. She could t follow him to every place that he went without no explanation.

"This way ", he said as he opened the door of the shop.

The inside of the shop was filled with people working. Slicing the fish in pieces. It was crowded but he somehow managed to find his way to the back of the shop.

By the time Anna was catching up to him she had bumped into ten people and could assume she just smelled like fish.

The back was something different.

Some naked women were only wearing gas masks. They wore latex gloves and they were putting products in the middle of fish.

She just stood there in awe as they sliced the fish open and put the products in and threw them in containers that had ice in them.

None of the women raised their eyes to stare at Anna let alone the man who had brought her there.

She wondered if they wanted to do this or if they were just women who had been abducted and were being forced to do it.

"This way ", the guy said as he tugged her hand and led her down a corridor that was dimly lit. She somehow found herself in places like this now more these days

He opened a door and Anna could hear the sound of laughter coming from it. It sounded like a woman.

"She's here ", the guy said as he moved aside so that Anna could talk to her boss

The woman seating in front of Anna was not something she had expected.S he had expected to see a man.

There was another woman who was seating by her side. A scrawny woman with a beautiful smile.

"I can tell you're shocked to see me by your reaction. Did your doctor see a man?", the lady asked her and Anna averted her attention back to her.

She had now stood up and she towered above Anna at feet feet

"No am but shocked and impressed ", Anna said as she offered her hand and she took it. Her handshake was firm, exactly like she had expected it

"Please leave us ", she said to the guy that had brought her in.

"Make sure everything is ready ", she added and the guy nodded as he left the room.

"He isn't much of a talker, I know he didn't say a word on your way here ", she said chuckling and even her smile looked scary.

"He said like four words but that's okay I wanted the silence ", Annasaidd as she sat down and crossed her legs

"Now talking business am sorry to hear about Suarez's passing away ing to say am shocked to see that you're the one who took over ", she said as she laid back and took a cigarette out of her pocket and lit it

"Why are you shocked ?", Anna asked.

"I don't know I just expected someone else, like Mateo ", Kaskovit said.

"You've met Mateo before ?", Anna asked.

"Yes I have known him and Neegan for quite a long time,t that's why am shocked you're the one here. I've never seen you or heard of you before ", Kaskovit said and chuckled.

"Well am gonna change that you will see more of me during the shipments ", Anna said chuckling.

"Okay, I'll wire the moment right now ", Kaskovit said as she took her phone.

"Send my regards to Neegan and tell him I'll come to see him on his birthday it's been a while ", Kaskovit said and it got Anna wondering how long they had known each other.

Their relationship wasn't just business. They were close like friends and the fact that she knew Mateo proved that.

Mateo did not run errands like the ones she was on

He never left Neegan's side most of the time but she didn't dare to ask how they knew each other.

She confirmed the wire transfer and was ready to leave when she stopped her.

"Since you're new how about we go for drinks and show you around and maybe you can leave tomorrow", Kaskovit said.

"I wish I could hug I need to be in New York by evening ", Anna said as she stood up to leave.

"Okay then the next time that you're around ", Kaskovit said and Anna nodded her head and left.

She wondered how much they even got paid for what they did. Men were standing beside them with guns.

There was no way they were doing it willingly but it wasn't something she wanted to involve herself in. Everyone did their business the way they wanted to.

"Will I take you straight to the airport or do you still have business to take care of ?", the guy that had brought her in asked her.

"Just straight to the airport will be okay ", she said as she opened the door for her, and within a minute they were back on the road.
