Assassin or Agent

Chapter 2

I lied down in my cell as I tried to think of a way to let Dan know I was telling the truth. My mind kept drifting to my training. At the training camp, we learnt all kinds of skills and how to use weapons. As a short list we covered guns, swords, crossbows, throwing knives, scaling walls, martial arts, general one to one fights, computer hacking and gymnastics. We did much more but those were the things I excelled at the most. My thoughts where interrupted when, from memory their names where, of course Dan, then Keri, Tom, Frank and the other girl, walked in. I stood up to face them as they came over to me.

"Is it okay if we ask you some questions Kathleen?" Frank said standing on the other side of the bars. I always hated that name. I don't know what my parents liked in it. I don't remember them anyway. And it's not some sap story about a little girl with no family either. I survived 5 years on my own. I don't need them anymore.

"Sure, but if you don't believe me, nothing I can do about that," I said not looking at any of them.

"Right, this girl is an assassin?" Keri said rhetorically. The others ignored her and I rolled my eyes. She is so annoying that girl, I thought to my self.

"Where did you learn to be an assassin?" Keri asked, "I heard you had some pretty sweet moves."

"At a training camp. The owner stole us from our families when we were young and trained us our whole lives." I answered, a little reluctantly.

"Who is we?" Tom said, leaning back in his chair.

"All the other kids he stole." I kept answering questions truthfully. Even if I did lie Dan would know.

"So this man steals kids and trains them to be assassins? And does this man have a name?" Frank said, sitting down on his chair.

"Yes, and yes, but he never told us. To us he was just 'The Man'" I combed my hair out of my face with my fingers. After all those years of just a dog to talk to, all the questions were making me nervous.

"How many people have you, well assonated?" The girl said. I still didn't remember her name.

"One," I said honestly, "His name was John Parker, I poisoned him."

"Only one?" Frank said, obviously confused, "Tom, search her other crimes."

"Sure." Tom walked over to the computers and typed something quickly before opening a screen with my name at the top. I noticed they still had no photo of me, at least all the hiding hadn't gone to waste. "It says she killed over 20 people." Frank looked at me before saying his next words.

"Where any of their body's found?" Frank said standing to look over Tom's shoulder.

"No, they where either dumped in a lake, burned or couldn't be found." Tom said, still looking at the screen I smiled in victory as they struggled to find evidence.

"Isn't that what she would have done? Hidden the bodies?" the brown haired girl asked.

"True Aneisha, True." Frank said. Aneisha! That was it.

"So far what I said checks out, did they find John Parker's Body?" I said to them, trying to get every scrap of evidence could to be set free.

"They did actually." Tom said, still looking at the screen. I felt as though they had no proof against me. I had killed one person, but it was also kind of self defence. If I had let him live he would have told the police.

"It isn't enough to prove that you just aren't hiding them well. We can't just let an assassin free." I groaned as I slumped against the cell wall. Really?

"What do we do with her then?" Dan asked, saying the first thing since he walked in.

"We send her to a MI9 prison until we have the evidence, which I doubt will be found." I close my eyes and imagine a lifetime of being stuck in a cell. After 5 years of roaming free, I would be stuck in a small room, not even being able to see Patch. "Tomorrow we will take her, with guards to the prison." Frank finished.

"Mission complete then!" Keri said happily. She was too happy considering I was innocent. "See you tomorrow Kathleen!" Keri said over her shoulder, as if trying to mock me, as the lift doors closed. What had I done. I had made the worst mistake of my life. I got caught.

oOo

I must have fallen asleep at one point because when I woke up, the cell door was open. Expecting to see guards I got ready for handcuffs but when I looked up I saw Dan.

"Dan?" I said questionably. I didn't know what he was doing there but I knew it could go either way. "What are you doing here?"

"I tried to talk Frank into giving you a chance, but he won't listen." He said plainly.

"So…" I said trying to figure out what he was saying.

"I'm letting you go, I may not believe you, but you're still a friend."

"Dan! Thank you so much! But do your friends know you were trained as an assassin?" I asked him.

"No, they just think I am good at combat and stuff, that I have normal parents not foster ones, so please don't tell them." He said pleadingly.

"Of course not," I promised. I gave him a hug and said, "I'll miss you Dan." I pulled away and followed him out of the school.

"Don't go to far, I might still be able to persuade Frank to clear you name."

"I won't leave the city, not yet anyway." I promised again. "Bye Dan."

"Bye Kathleen."

"You used to call me Kate, remember?"

"Yeah," he laughed, "you hate the name Kathleen."

I hugged him one last time. "Bye Dan." I let go of him and started to walk away.

"Bye Kate." I smiled back at him and I was about to leave when I remembered one last thing.

"Dan, look after Patch, I'll try and come for him another time."

"Of course." I waved before running off. It would be strange without Patch but I couldn't go back for him yet. The sun was starting to rise and the streets would be getting busier soon. I found an old empty building that would be safe to stay in until I decided to leave the city. I found a corner where I could rest and slowly fell asleep.
