Chapter 1: Straight Up with No Chaser

The heels of her Christian Louboutin crystal mesh pumps clicked on the tile floors of the Four Seasons hotel.

May I get you a drink to start you off with first, madam? The waiter asked as she sat down at a reserved table underneath her client’s alias name.

His approving look of her appearance did not go unnoticed. Her name was Maite Dubois, better known to the crime world as one of the best contract assassins recognized as Keiko.  A woman whose beauty was the epitome of deadly.

For the past decade, Keiko has been on the FBI Most Wanted list leaving behind a trail of dead bodies and almost every law enforcement agency including the CIA looking for her. Ironically, after each tragic death, it was revealed that the majority of her victims were involved in crimes such as money laundering, sex trafficking, drug smuggling, terrorism amongst other heinous crimes.

Maite received the name Keiko (meaning lucky/blessed child) from her mentor Hussain, who is the leader of the 13 Chambers and who taught her everything she knows. She was 12 years old when she broke into his hotel window in Rio, Brazil looking for food and shelter after witnessing the brutal slaying of her parents at the hands of henchmen sent from an anonymous competitor of her father’s.  

Hussain said she was very lucky he didn't take her head off with his sword for breaking and entering. Thievery was against one of 10 the commandment of the 13 Chambers. Maite had witnessed people lose an eye, a limb or something far worse after getting caught stealing from Hussain.

Maite was a master at her craft and disguising her appearance, leaving no evidence or traces of identity behind. Maite was 5’6 and a mere 135 pounds of petite lean muscle. Her smooth light cocoa skin and 34C-24-36 voluptuous frame is a sight to die for. She’s currently sporting a blonde wig with bangs to cover her dark tresses, and hazel contact lenses.

Yes please. Maite hypnotic eyes winked at him as she licked her full lips seductively. On a job like this, Maite flirted just enough to leave the impression that her client Vincent Baptiste was out with an unknown mistress. No one would have guessed that a killer like her could also be overly flirtatious.

Returning in less than 5 minutes, Maite took a sip of her favorite red wine, Pinot Noir and let out a soft moan. Damn, this a good year he selected. Maite was drinking a 2005 Pinot Noir from Casa Marine vineyard in Barcelona. Despite the fact that she killed a drug lord while vacationing at the vineyard a few years ago, she actually enjoyed reading about and drinking red wine.

As if on cue, her client Vincent Baptiste walked up to her table looking handsome and arrogant as usual.

This is going to be fun. She smiled to herself, revealing a deep set of dimples.

Ms. Keiko, it’s a pleasure to meet you again. He greeted in a strong French accent.

Gracefully rising up to shake his hand. The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Baptiste. Maite replied matching his French accent.

As she was taking off her royal blue fox fur collar jacket, Vincent quickly walked up behind her to help take off her jacket
