Muder in the city of lies

Chapter 1

She glanced ather target and took out her gun, Japanese Nambu Type 94 pistol. She gave an evil smile as she raised the gun and pulled the lever. She suddenly felt a buzzing noise. The girl took out a phone from her pocket; she checked the server and swore under her breath. She answered the phone.

"Hello Veronica" said the man in the phone.

"What do you want, General. I am dangling from a tree and trying to kill someone" snapped Veronica.

She was indeed hanging from a tree. She had her binoculars. And her target was about to pull up any minute. Many people had no idea who she was, she was an expert in secrecy. Her name was Veronica Evanoff. Veronica was the world's most feared assassin, the simple reason was that she was a eleven year old Russian superspy. Anyone who underestimated her was now in their grave.

"A simple murder, hardly worth your talents" answered the General.

"I was in the middle of a simple murder, before you interrupted me" replied Veronica angrily.

"Ah Veronica, I ask not much, that much is true. Don't fret, come and you will have a place in the future" said the General airily.

Veronica considered her options. She had dealt with the General in the past, he was not one to defy. She knew if you wanted both your limbs the next day, you did what he wanted.

"I am waiting. Will you come of not" asked the General with a hint of annoyance.

"I'll meet you at headquarters in an hour. I am in Germany right now, it will take some time" replied Veronica, displaying no emotion.

"No worries have a safe trip" said the General. Not many would have noticed but the General sounded slightly relieved, but when you've been in the business as long as she had you learnt to read voices.

At Headquaters

Veronica stepped on to the pavement, and glanced around. There was nobody there, that was good. It was an empty street; all the shops were closed, with some doors paved in with wood. She hastily put her hand on the wall. The wall itself was filled with graffiti, spelling freedom. But a moment later a lift opened on the letter d.

Veronica stepped inside, there were no buttons. Instead a blue light filled the room it scanned every inch of it. Veronica stayed still. Seconds later a female voice was projected in the room.

"Privet Agent Veronica, you have been identified. Welcome to KGB headquarters."

The door opened. Veronica stepped outside, immediately knowing she had stepped on a minefield with only one exit.
