Chapter 6. Reputation
Another assignment, I must kill a woman that Beatrix didn't kill Lisa Wong who lives in California. Apparently Lisa Wong is now under the protection of Black Mamba, the boss of the deadly venom squad. I am in Las Angeles, California and I sitting in the lobby of the Carlton Hotel watching the news as they show the video I uploaded to the internet. I smile as the reporter says, "Again Pimp and Drug King Pin Esteban Veheio is dead… This again is the video uploaded to the internet of a female ninja with a copperhead snake etched on her shoulder. I warn you these scenes are really graffic…"
Its twelve forty-five and Lisa will be home soon, I've been watching her for the past three days. I go up to my room on the elevator, my room is on the twenty-first floor. Lisa Wong owns the entire building across the street and her suit takes up the entire nineteenth floor. If attacked she could escape by going up to the helicopter on the roof or she could go down her armored private elevator. The entire building is wired to fire on timed controlled explosions and it has its back up generator separate from the city grid. Getting to her is a suicide mission and she has her own private army. Everyone in the hotel is carrying a gun or weapon of some kind. My greatest problem is the layout and the cops… I will have a create a bomb threat to keep the police busy while I get Lisa Wong to leave the safety of her suit and move to second location, I am a genius!
It takes me four days to set everything up and call in a team of hired mercenaries. Everything is in position so make the call from a disposable phone that can't be traced. There the cops go, they will find large dud bomb, now for Lisa Wong. I send the mercenaries in through the bottom and top floors. Then I watch the fun as her people trade shots with the mercs. Lisa exits through a secret passage, she is on the move and I am following on a Kawasaki. I take out the tires of the lead car, Lisa's car swerves to avoid collision. My bike is wired with explosives I bail just before it hits and boom. Somehow Wong is still alive I pull out my copperhead forty-five, but someone knocks it out of my hand. Its her personal body guard armed with a samurai sword. I bust my last smoke pellet and fight him in the mist. She is well trained but I am better, I pause recognizing the style of fighting, tiger-crane technique, Beatrix, this bitch is a student of Beatrix. When the smoke clears the bitch is impaled on my kitana blade. I throw her to the ground and pop a cap in Lisa Wong, she's dead now… uh oh the cops… Ninja Vanish!
Little Copperhead that is what they start calling me among the underground world of professional assassins, I am even marked for death by the CIA, MI6, and French secret service division three. Can ever have a normal life after this? I hope so, but probably not. No one ordered the deaths of Lisa Wong and Esteban Veheio, but they are dead and their friends are after me. A Chinese group of the Triads called the Hun Gai want me dead for Lisa Wong. So I will go to China and pay them a visit.
I am disguised as white woman on vacation and I sneak away from the tour group. I make my way to Kang Shun's place, he is the big man in charge. This will be easy because Kang has been betrayed by the Dilong Triads who want his territory. I make inside the house as a sex slave, his right hand man Ming chooses me, he has a thing for black women. I trick him into going to his room when we are about to kiss I blow dust into his face. He is out like a light. I snap his neck anyway and make dress up in my ninja garb. I have a fresh batch of pellets and I start a fire. I zip-line through the window shooting. I take one in the shoulder and shrug off the pain. I throw a knife into Shun's leg and mop up his body guards. A hand his ass from the burning building and leave my mark carved into his corpse.
After that I receive an order from Ozin to return to Japan.
In just several short months I have become the snake of death, death snake they call me. Every assassin around the world is gunning for me to claim the prize of ten million in cash. Where are you Beatrix?
