Chapter 4

Cassandra

I apologize in advance for the shortness of this chapter. Cassandra's sequences are hard to write without becoming straight up redundant.

Cassandra donned her hood and clipped her knife and a newly refilled lethal needle into her belt. The letter B showed up on the computer on her table.

"Cassandra, it's Beyond," the synthetic voice greeted.

Cassandra often wondered why he used that voice filter when he had seen her countless times in person.

"Beyond, are you here for idle chitchat or to give me my new assignment?" she asked.

"You new assignment is Bennett Wayne. He is staying in the Best Western down the block. His room is 603."

"I hear you Beyond. I won't fail you."

Cassandra set out for the businessman at the hotel in question. She knew all hotel maids had master keys on their uniforms. She could corner one into the closet and slit their throat. A necessary casualty as the client would understand... No! What was she thinking? All she needed to do was kick down the door. How hard could it be?

Steel-toed boots proved helpful in this as they minimized shock on her toes and added an extra umph to the blow, so she was able to knock the vital screws off the hinges.

The man had been watching TV when he caught a glimpse of Cassandra. She made quick work of drugging the victim and following a similar procedure as before with the cleaning and carving. After licking the blood off her blade, Cassandra pocketed the needle and the knife and left in a flash.

Not to sound desperate or anything, but I would deeply appreciate a review. I want to know what you think is going to happen, what you don't like already, what you hate, what I should fix, etc. It would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
