Hi, so this was an idea I had! Sorry for the short first chapter but I wanted to get the thought out there. If you like let me know, and I'll be more likely to continue with support. Thanks & please review!
Disclaimer: I own only the plot. And the assassin idea came form numerous other fics. Hopefully this is a good spin on it!
Clarissa POV
Ping!
Clarissa Morgernstern ducked out of the training room of The Institute to take the message. The corridor was cool and clinical, serving its purpose- to watch the world's deadliest assassins walk by to their next mission -and nothing more. She stood in her tight black gear and grabbed the high-tech, high-security message transmitter from her trouser pocket, and read the message.
Newest target in: anonymous client. Take out businessman Jace Herondale at his launch party tomorrow night. Subtle, no questions asked. Client doesn't want a big fuss. Reply "yes" or "no" only.
Clarissa grinned. She'd heard of Herondale's computer security company; this packed and secure launch party would be a challenge. And she loved challenges. Subtle in and outs: that was where she excelled as a killer. Yes, she replied, quickly, efficiently.
And with that, another fate sealed.
Jace POV
The office had a beautiful aerial view of London. Jace Herondale leaned back in the expensive bocote and fake leather chair, taking it in for a moment, with a small yawn. It had been a busy morning, with emails coming in all over the place, from various companies wanting to upgrade their security after the recent terror scares. With the new software launch tomorrow evening, they were all eager to get it first and at a good price. And although this was good for his wallet, it certainly wasn't good for his mental wellbeing right now... not with the family issues. Well, he didn't see the problem with his brother - almost brother, anyway - being gay. Unfortunately ...
Ugh stop overthinking. It won't change anything. Jace reprimanded himself. Yes, he was on a break, but he needed to be working as hard as possible today. God, this new software lark was giving him a headache.
