This was a pic I thought was cool but wasn’t sure what the story/idea was at the time.Then I wrote Creativity Post 82 and thought what if she’s in one of the safe houses the couple provided?
Maybe she’s in Vegas for the weekend. She’s got a big fight in an underground fighting area/pit sponsored by some rich, black market type guys.
But that’s just her cover job. When’s she’s not fighting in cage fights she’s secretly an assassin/hitwoman. Maybe she’s there to eliminate a rich guy who will be at the fight this weekend.
If we go with this idea of her being a hitwoman then I think she probably works for a crime family based on the East Coast, maybe New York even.
If she’s an assassin then she does freelance stuff and always travels solo.
We could combine the ideas and maybe she’s a freelancer for 1 or 2 crime families.
The families probably have an alliance so she’s not actively working against either of her patrons.
Anyways, she gets caught up in whatever is happening to the couples safehouses but whomever tried to take her out failed.
I’m thinking she first thought it had something to do with her job and only later found out it had to do with the couple. I think she ends up helping them.
Maybe she has history with them or is like a frequent client with them and believes they’re getting set up for some reason.
In exchange, they’ll give her help in taking out her target. Plus, a huge discount for the future.
