"Hello brother," I hailed the form who had appeared, then moved to clasp hands in greeting.
"Hello to you. How are you this fine night?" A glance upward accompanied his query.
"Curious. Is there a new mission from our superiors?"
"Of sorts."
His enigmatic answer was curious; he laughed at my expression. "It's special; a retrieval."
"The target?"
His answer stunned me; he had to be mistaken.
"No."
I turned, and so failed to see his smile; never saw his movements before pain started. My only last thought before the world would fade to black.
'He has betrayed us all.'

A/N: So, what you think? The other chapters are mapped out and in process. I'll probably have another chapter up by Friday.
