A/N: Hi y'all! Here's the revamped chapter 2! Maybe that was a bad choice of words. This chapter isn't a vamp...oh well...back to the a/n, no more stream of consciousnesses. :D Here is more story, and the next chapter will have Ryan and Esposito! Yay! The chapter after that has hints of Caskett. :D Hope y'all enjoy, and please review! Again, I don't own anything except Jade and her circumstances and employers. :D Enjoy!

I sighed and brushed my long green hair into a ponytail. I actually had to go to school. That was the only good thing about working for them. I got private tutoring from one of them. But once in a while, I had to go to a school in order to complete a mission. This time, my objective was to find Alexis Castle, follow her home, and follow her father to my target. Supposedly he was close to the target.

I had long ago stopped thinking of my targets as people, but rather as inhuman things. Otherwise I couldn't handle it. I had already killed 20 people, and was only 16. I shuddered when I thought about all that I had done, and wanted to get rid of the people who had done this to me, and so many others. In an effort to remember each person I'd killed, I'd carved a small slice into my hip. The only reason they'd left me alive when they killed my family was because I fought so hard. They decided to train me to be their best assassin. And I'd become the best. I was unbeatable. I walked out of the apartment I was sharing with Mack for cover, and walked the few blocks to the school. I was wearing a bright purple shirt and jeans, which contrasted nicely with my hair. I never wore dark clothes, unless I was working. I especially stayed away from green and black, as that was my uniform for killing people. I wandered around the school, looking for the office. I finally found it and was introduced to the girl who would help me find my way around. She had red hair and smiling eyes. Then she introduced herself.

"Hi! I'm Alexis Castle!"

I blinked in surprise. "Hi Alexis. I'm Jade." I was shocked that I'd found her so easily. It usually took me a day or two to find whoever I was looking for.

"Let me see you schedule." She said, very chipper. I handed it to her silently. "Look! We have most of our classes together!" She smiled, and I smiled back. I wished I could stay here after my mission was over, get to know this girl better, but I knew that couldn't happen. Besides, I was a killer. I didn't deserve friends.

"The angle of this slice indicates that the killer was shorter than the victim." Lanie said, pointing to the laceration across the victim's neck with a pair of forceps.

"How short?" Beckett asked.

"I'd say about 5'0." Lanie replied.

"Are you saying a midget killed him?"

"No Castle."

"A kid?"

"Castle, how in the world would a kid be able to do this?" Beckett motioned to the crime scene photos she was holding.

"Also," Lanie started. "the weapon was curved. It wasn't a sword or knife."

"So that sword was probably the victim's." Beckett said, thinking aloud. "Was there any DNA on it?"

"Yes, but you're not gonna believe this."

"It was a time traveling killer?" Castle asked, excitedly. "Or it was the CIA?"

Beckett had to resist the urge to slap him upside the head, like her uncle did to his team.

"Mo Castle. The DNA belongs to a girl named Jade Wright. She's about sixteen years old, and her family was murdered six years ago. No conviction was ever made. She had no living relatives, but was adopted by Mack Mackenzie."

"As in Mack the Knife?" Beckett asked.

"Yes. And he was suspected in her family's murder."

"Then why would she go with him?" Castle asked.

"She may not have had a choice." Beckett responded sadly. "Mack the Knife is named that for a reason. He's thought to be the mob's top assassin."

"Then why is Jade Wright's DNA on the sword?"

"That's what we're going to find out." Beckett said determinedly.
