First Taste of Revenge

Emily Thorne gazed out at the magnificent view of the ocean she had grown accustomed to over the last three years. They had been three of the most important years of her life. She had spent them here on Rebun Island studying under Satoshi Takeda, learning how to bring justice to those who had ruined her life. For three long years she had been convinced revenge was all she wanted but recently she had begun to doubt her path. She knew how powerful the Grayson's and their fellow conspirators were and she was beginning to doubt she could make them pay. She was beginning to wonder if her revenge was worth spending the years preparing. Whenever these thoughts ran through her head she reminded herself of what they had done to her and her father, that they had to pay.

She longed for the day she could make them suffer, all of them. She thought back to her first day of training. She had been so reckless and desperate to attack the Graysons immediately. Her three years had taught her patience, but it was wearing thin. She longed for the peace Takeda promised she would find once her revenge was complete. More than that she needed peace, without it she may not survive another year here. She had been on many missions with Takeda and helped many of his other students achieve their revenge. Now it was her turn.

She raced back to her room and opened the infinity box. She had made a list of all those who had helped the Grayson's destroy her father who would need to be taken down before she initiated her main plan. At the top of that list was Richard Caviaro. Richard Caviaro was the leading expert on spyware equipment, he was said to be able to find out any secret. His company, Spytech, was the largest spyware company in the world but years ago he worked for Grayson Global. Conrad had him spy on companies he was considering investing in, and to bring down rival companies. After the bombing of flight 197 he had helped Conrad frame David Clarke by monitoring his every move, allowing Conrad to place evidence on his laptop. He would be too big a threat to Emily once she returned to the Hamptons. She had decided, she had to take him down now.

Takeda listened carefully to her plans knowing she was making a mistake. She wasn't ready and Caviaro was an extremely dangerous enemy. "Do not do this," he said "you have not yet completed you training you could be risking everything you have worked for."

"I need this." Emily insisted "And Caviaro has to be taken down"

"In time yes but you are not ready" Takeda replied.

"I am, it's time, I will not fail" Emily said before turning away and leaving.

The next day the plane arrived on the island. Emily boarded with a single suitcase filled with everything she would need to bring down Caviaro. Takeda watched her leave wondering if she would ever return.

After arriving in New York she went straight to her apartment. It was large and luxurious but she doubted she would spend any time here. Later that day she had her interview at Spytech. She took out her fake résumé and thought how impressive it was, she was certain to be successful.

She was greeted by Mike Holmes, Caviaro's right hand man, and knew they had believed her résumé. "Miss Thorne how wonderful to meet you" Mike spoke with an English accent.

"It's great to meet you too I am extremely excited to begin working here. That is if I get the job" She said.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about that you are more that capable to run our finance department I'm sure you'll be successful." He gestured her into a room to his left. She did and the interview began.

After talking for 30 minutes about what responsibilities she would have and how she would handle certain situations he lead her out of the room and informed her that she had been successful. "Thank you so much this means so much to me. I guess I'll see you tomorrow" She said

"I look forward to it Miss Thorne" Mike replied. As she walked away she saw him. Richard Caviaro. He wore an jet black suit with a white shirt and black tie. His dark hair was short and shiny. His eyes were black and his skin light olive. "Mr Holmes," He spoke with a slight Italian accent "would you please join me in my office we have an important matter to discuss."

"Of course Mr Caviaro, this is Emily Thorne the new head of your finance department."

"Hello Miss Thorne." He said looking at Emily.

"Mr Caviaro it truly an honour to meet you." She smiled at him.

"Excuse us Miss Thorne but we really must go." He replied

"Of course, goodbye Mr Caviaro."

"Goodbye Miss Thorne" He turned and left Mike following him. As Emily reached the door she turned and saw the two of them deep in convocation. Little do they know, their problems are just beginning she thought as she exited the office and returned to her apartment.
