"Are you sure about this?" Cat asked Jade and she turned to Beck.
"Absolutely" Jade said. "Beck thinks he loves me and he says he won't ever leave me, no matter what…Let's see if he feels the same way after tonight" she commented and Beck stared at her shaking his head with a smile on his face.
"You're testing me?" Beck questioned.
"In a way, yes…but i hope that you will hate me so much after this that you won't ever come near me again" Jade responded sincerely and his smile dropped.
"Why?" He asked sadly.
"Because I'm a time bomb but you don't seem to get it" Jade answered. "I'm basically a walking corpse, Beck, maybe I won't die today or tomorrow or next week but I won't live for long and people who surround me are in constant danger…You can't die because of me" She affirmed and he took a breath.
"That's my decision, not yours" He responded and she stared at him emotionlessly.
"Whatever, so come…Come with me today, see what I do and rethink your life choices" Jade demanded and he nodded.
"I will"
Later that day, Jade and Beck arrived to the doctor's office just in time before it closed and they were given an appointment. "Hello" A tall man in a white coat said and shook Jade's and Beck's hand. "What's your name?" He asked.
"Emily" Jade immediately said.
"Alan" Beck simply said and they both took a seat.
"So, may I know what happened to you?" The doctor questioned and Jade looked down.
"My boyfriend beat me" Jade said with tears in her eyes and the doctor immediately turned to Beck with a cold expression. "Oh no, no…it's not him, he is my brother" she clarified and the doctor nodded.
"You need to go to the police, dear" The doctor said.
"I did, they arrested him today" Jade lied. "But I'm here because my wrist hurts a lot, I think it might be broken" she said and he stood up.
"Mmmm…let's see" He said and started checking her hand. Beck was just nervously watching Jade's face and he saw how her hurt mortified face turned into a cold calculating expression with a slight smirk as she measured the distance and prepared the moment. All the sudden Jade stood up as she twisted the doctor's hand to make him turn just before breaking his neck in one quick lethal move. Beck's eyes wide opened as he stared at the dead body on the floor and then at Jade, who was simply holding her hurt wrist, then she proceeded to verify he was dead and exhaled relieved.
Beck was still in shock and Jade knew it, she could see how appalled and disgusted he was after witnessing the murder and even though she was sad because she loved him, she was also glad that he would probably want to leave her and then he would be safe. Jade set the body on the chair to make it seem a stroke at first sight and then made Beck, who was still overwhelmed, walk outside with her. "Thank you, have a good night" Jade said sweetly to the doctor's secretary and she smiled.
On the way back, Beck was just looking out the window and Jade was driving but occasionally staring at him and wondering what he was thinking. She drove him to his house and parked outside but he didn't move. "Alright…You're home" She said and he turned to her slowly.
"That was…disturbing, your face, you calculated every single move and the timing and…it almost seemed you enjoyed it" Beck commented and Jade looked down.
"You get used to it" Jade simply said and he stared at her coldly. "I told you this would happen but it's okay, I was expecting it" she commented sincerely. "You'll be way better without me, Beck, just forget I ever existed, it'll all be easier" she said and waited for him to get out of her car but he didn't move. "What are you waiting for?"
"I'm not gonna leave you" He informed and she turned to him confused.
"What?" Jade asked. "Beck, you're not assimilating things, you just saw me kill a man; go home and sleep…You'll see things differently tomorrow"
"I'm perfectly aware of what happened tonight, Jade" He affirmed. "I admit that it was hard to experience that but I knew it would happen, it was my decision to see it" He commented and Jade stared at him with her mouth open, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Dear god, Beck, I'm an ASSASSIN, what part of that don't you understand?" Jade questioned.
"Dear god, Jade, I'm IN LOVE with you, what part of that don't you understand?" He questioned back and she looked to the other side.
"You're just trying to win, you're being stubborn" Jade commented.
"I'm stubborn? Look who's saying it…" He said and she stared at him annoyed. "Listen, I know that this is crazy and I swear I don't understand it myself but I can't hate you, I love you, Jade West and I know it might be sick but it's the truth, I'm not gonna leave you" He affirmed and she looked down so he grabbed her face and made her look at him.
"You don't deserve this" Jade said. "You don't deserve to die because of my stupid life choices" She said with a couple of tears streaming down her face.
"That's a decision only I can take" He responded. "I love you and I won't let anybody hurt you" Beck affirmed and proceeded to kiss her lips sweetly before hugging her. Jade gave up, she knew he loved her and there was nothing left for her to do so she hugged him back and for the first time in months, she felt strong enough to face everything.
Jade rented a new apartment and her boss sent her all the things she had in her last apartment, which he'd burned. "This place is amazing, it's even prettier than your last one" Tori commented while she and the rest of the gang helped her unpack the groceries.
"Thanks" Jade responded; a couple of weeks had passed and her bruises were a lot lighter so she was going to deliver her two targets that day.
"Are you nervous?" Andre asked.
"A little" Jade said sincerely. "But I think I can manage, I always do"
"Remember we'll be down in the restaurant if you need me" Beck commented and she nodded.
"This is so exciting and scary at the same time" Tori said. "It's like an action movie"
"Sort of…" Jade responded.
"What's in this room?" Robbie asked referring to one of the doors.
"My job" Jade said, they already knew so she let them in and they saw all the different outfits, wigs, weapons and ID's she had. There was also a board on the wall with lots of newspaper articles for a lot of men who'd been killed by her.
"These are your…?" Andre questioned.
"Targets? Yes" Jade said. "But I think that's enough, let's go" They all walked out of the room and there was silence for several seconds until Tori decided to break it.
"How many?" She questioned and Jade turned to her.
"I lost count, but…many" Jade simply said.
"And do you ever feel bad over it?" Robbie asked.
"I used to feel guilty, that happens the first times but then it just becomes easier…Besides, they deserved it, I did the world a favor by killing them" Jade affirmed and they looked at each other. "What?" She asked slightly upset.
"Nothing…" That night Jade dressed up provocatively like she always did and they all went to the restaurant, they entered first and a few minutes later Jade walked inside as well but she stood by the bar while they waited on a table across the place.
Jade's targets quickly turned to her and decided to approach her. "Hello gorgeous, what's your name?" One of the men asked.
"Alice" She said.
"And what are you doing here, alone?" The other man questioned.
"I was bored and I am looking for some fun, that's all…can't a girl have fun?" Jade asked and they smiled.
"Of course, well, have a seat with us please" One of them offered and she accepted. They talked for about twenty minutes and then stood by the bar again but as they waited for their drinks, one of the men started kissing Jade and she kissed him back. She was standing between them and then the other man made them break the kiss before he turned her head back a little to kiss her as well.
The gang was across the restaurant just watching and waiting, Beck knew she was acting but it still made him uncomfortable to see her kissing the two men. "Jade is convincing" Robbie commented.
"Yes, she is…and quick, look at them, she has them" Andre added as they watched Jade making out with the two men. "Her boss was right, she has it all, she's beautiful, quick, convincing…"
"And lethal, she's extremely lethal" Beck affirmed.
"You guys have seen her kill someone, what was it like?" Tori asked Cat and Beck curiously.
"She is good at it" Cat responded.
"Yes but what's it like?" Andre asked.
"When she killed the doctor, she started acting like a victim who'd been beaten by her boyfriend and made him come to her, then her face suddenly changed and she started calculating her moves, it was kind of creepy…she smirked because she knew she had him and then it happened, before I realized she twisted him around and broke his neck within two or three seconds" Beck explained. "She didn't even blink"
"Wow" Tori said.
"Are you sure you love her?" Andre asked. "You seem to be pretty freaked out over the things she does"
"I do love her and even though I don't approve what she does, I know she can't stop now so…" Beck responded and then saw Jade making her way to the elevator with the two men.
"There she goes…" Tori said and sighed. "I hope she can do it"
"She will, Jade always delivers" Cat affirmed and they stared at her.
"Let's just wait then"
