The Knave of Hearts #11

by

Once I saved Seesaw’s life.

Even assassins have bad nights. With six bullets in her gut, she fainted soon as I brought her to my hotel room. Lucky for her, magicians were a lot harder to kill than ordinary guys like me.

Without her mask, she looked like a little kid. Turned out she was young enough to be my daughter.

What drove a li’l girl to kill for a living? Praying hard she wouldn’t die, I stitched her up best I could.

“How’d you know how to do that?” she asked afterward.

“I…I used to wanna be a vet.”

    Haha! I used to wanna be a vet! That’s very funny.
