Hey, I'm Anita. First story, blah blah blah. Enjoy, this is just the prologue, will update soon. Feel free to criticize, it's all cool. Bye, bye.
Prologue
When Jace first saw the girl he felt a surge of guilt for her. Why did Adam want him to do this? Murder was one thing, he could deal with that, but kidnapping? That was a whole other level of fucked up. But if he didn't do this, Adam would send someone else, someone worse, someone who would be more heartless.
Not that Jace had a conscious concerning crime. He was an assassin after all. But murder; taking someone's life? That was straightforward business, no fuss, just a name on a list and a crime they are paying for. Kidnapping on the other hand? It was hard to get away with that type of crime. It lacked reason too, no beauty in it; just violence and hate.
He was keeping his distance for now; watching the pretty red head from afar. To get away with this senseless crime he would need to be stealthy. He needed to know when it was best to take her, when she was alone and away from crowds. At the moment she was laughing with a boy around her age. Oh God, that boy would be heartbroken when Jace took her. He thought of the mother she had kissed goodbye; if things went the way they had to, that would be a good-bye forever.
This unnamed girl did not seem something special. From what he could gather she was an average teenager. A simple girl that would be missed dearly. She reminded him of his sister, Aline, who he was far away from. He watched her with pity and lament, this poor girl. This innocent girl; he had no idea what would happen to her or why his new boss wanted her in the first place.
Deacon was the old boss, he was more professional and under his leadership, Jace didn't feel like the bad guy. Deacon had criminals killed, no young girls kidnapped. Kill those that kill others; that was Deacon's saying. But then Deacon retired and Adam took over. Adam was younger, less experienced, and the equivalent of an evil villain. The moment he got in charge he even changed his hair cut and beard style to look more "villainous". If that didn't scream megalomaniac Jace didn't know what did.
The boy was staying behind while the girl left. Adam had not even told him her name. She walked down the street and she remained oblivious of him. He kept his distance though was quickly gaining on her. She would not see him, they never did, not until it was too late.
