With this story, I tried to do something different. I know there are a lot of assassin/spy stories out there, but I got this idea and couldn't stop thinking about it. The chapters should all be short unless I feel the need to do a two-part chapter and split it up.
This will mostly be told in Edward's perspective. It's also very mature. I'll mark each chapter with its own warnings, but mostly, we'll have all the big ones - language, violence(starting in the first chapter), sex and anything else that might crop up. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'll post the prologue and the first chapter together. I hope you like it.
Prologue
Life is simple.
I kill. I get paid. I don't look back.
I'm not supposed to care about the people I'm told to kill.
Not supposed to think about what I leave behind.
Not supposed to give a shit whether it ends one way or another.
I'm a tool. A weapon. And I'm okay with that.
That doesn't even begin to explain why I'm sitting holed up with an eighteen-year-old kid in the basement of my mother's family home.
It doesn't explain why I have a price on my head for nearly five million dollars if I'm brought in alive with a dead girl in tow.
My father has told me several times in the last 72 hours that if I don't make a decision, he'll have to call it in.
I know he means it. There's only one problem.
I've already made my choice. And he isn't going to like it.
Short but to the point. Enticing enough?
Let me know.
