Chapter 3

-Duo's POV-

I walked down the now deserted streets. 'The park... guess that's where they said last time.' A few blocks disappeared behind me before I could see large trees that were crowded together... an ideal place to hide if need be. I sauntered over to a figure cloaked in shadows. 'How obvious can you get? It must be him.' I shadowed over and greeted him… only it wasn't a he.

"Oh errr… sorry miss, I thought..." I began to apologize, but was stopped abruptly.

"Duo, I'm here to give you you're payment and next job." She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

"So you're my..." I began yet again but was cut off again.

"No, I'm just giving you what I was told to... the job is in a few hours and you'll find that all the money is there. We'll contact you after it is finished to arrange the payment drop-off." She said quickly and left.

I stood there for a while, finally noticing that she had handed me an envelope. I opened it. Five hundred unmarked 100 dollar bills ruffled through my fingers; some fifties and twenties, a couple fives... but no ones? 'Do these high rollers not like dollar bills or something?' I sighed and picked a letter out of the same envelope and unfolded it. 'The party's starting soon... I'd better get going.'

I set off for the mansion it was to be held; a charming social get together. I read the bounty for each diplomat's head. 'So I guess I get paid by their worth... 5000 points if I get the chief sponsor of the X Corporation playing host... that's being kinda stingy though... oh well... It's more about the revenge anyway, right? I hate having unfinished grudges...' The paper was easily torn into square centimeters... well, uneven square centimeters kinda. I huge mansion popped up before me where the little get together was being held. 'Walls around the place... guards, alarms... this place was heavily guarded... but not all that well...' I snuck into the thick woods that surrounded the place and made my way to a spot that was guarded by only one guy. 'I have just the thing!' I unsoldered my bag, took out a riding cloak, and shrouded myself in its mystery. Then, I let my braid hang noticeably in front of my cloak. 'Perfect.' I walked out slowly towards the guard; letting him see my cloaked self and making sure my face was well hidden.

"Who is that, stop!" He ordered me with gun drawn.

"Please don't hurt me!" I said in a high, little-girlish voice.

He relaxed a little at the sound of my made-up voice and the sight of my long braid.

"I'm sorry, but what are you doing here?" He asked, gun at his side.

"I... I lost my puppy in the woods around here. Can you please help me?" I stumbled purposely in my little girlie voice so it would sound like I was crying.

"Oh okay... don't cry. I'll help you… where did you lose him?" He tried to help just like I knew he would; I planned he would.

"Over there!" I pointed into the woods.

He immediately went in that direction. I followed, pretending to look with him for this non-existent puppy.

"What's it's name?" He asked me with his back turned as he looked into the woods.

'Now's the perfect time.'

I kicked him right in the head against one of the trees, leaving him unconscious for the night at least. I dragged his limp, resting self back to his post, went back to my bag, and got a bottle of vodka. Then I hurried back and poured it on his hands, shirt, and mouth; and put the bottle in his empty hand so it looked like he had gotten drunk on the job just in case someone came by. 'What a waste of vodka...' I took my bag, shoved the cloak in it, and climbed up a tree that extended near one of the third floor windows. It was just sturdy enough.

I opened the window after checking no one was in there and went in quickly and shut it quietly. 'Very fancy place...' I heard music from a band playing on the first floor, went out, and found that it was one of those hacienda things with a hole in the middle of the house so you could see what was going on in the huge ballroom thing... hard to explain. 'This is going to be fun!' I grinned. The entire third floor scouted; not a single guard or alarm found. 'Guess these rich people don't want any guards coming into their house and stealing stuff from them.' I got out some goodies from my bag.

"Play time..."
