Silent Assassin
Chapter 1: Shadows
She stepped softly, darting from shadow to shadow; moving rapidly through the park. It was night and the moon wasn't out. But if she wasn't careful, the starlight alone would be enough to expose her.
She froze behind a rose bush and bent down on one knee. Pulling out a pair of what seemed to be sunglasses she put them on and focused the lenses on the building across the street. She pressed a button and a tiny grid appeared around the building. She pressed something else and the image zoomed in and switched to heat seeking. Inside she saw three people. They were seated around a table, one of them gesturing wildly with his hands. As she watched, he calmed down and another person got up, the other two following his lead. They shook hands and the first person moved toward the door. As the door opened, she saw that it was a man. She pressed a button and a grid appeared around the man. In a matter of seconds an up close picture of him and all his information appeared before her. She nodded slightly. This was him.
Moving quickly, she put the sunglasses away and got to get feet. The man was already walking down the street, in the opposite direction from her. Soundlessly, she darted across the street and just as soundlessly ran after him.
At the corner the man stopped and lit a cigarette. She froze in a shadow beside a dumpster and lowered her bag to the ground. She crept up behind him and stopped just a few steps away from him. Then in a split second, she had her arm around his throat. He was slightly taller and a lot more muscular, but he was no match for her. Even as he thrashed wildly, she squeezed tighter until he finally collapsed to the ground; dead.
She walked back to the dumpster without looking at the body again and pulled a cell phone out of her bag. She dialed rapidly and the person on the other side of the line picked up immediately.
"Mission complete" she said, her voice emotionless and cold as ice.
"Very good" the hoarse voice said "Return to HQ at once"
"Yes, sir"
Suddenly the loud screech of a police siren pierced the night air. Her head snapped right, police cars were two or three streetlights away. Her head snapped left, police cars were already turning the corner.
She spun around, behind her was a dead end alley and if she made a run across the street they would see her for sure. She looked up, but there was no fire escape anywhere. She had no choice, grabbing her bag, she sprinted across the street.
By then, the police were close. They told her to stop through their megaphones, but she ran.
"This is your last warning. Stop and get your hands up or we'll be forced to shoot" she heard, but didn't stop nor slow down.
She froze for a split second as a bullet hit the ground near her foot. When she moved again she had a gun in her hand.
As the police continued to shoot at her, she avoided the bullets with complicated combinations of front flips and back flips. Suddenly she dropped down on her knee and rapidly shot at the police car that was driving up behind the line of policemen attacking her.
The first bullet hit the driver between the eyes and he slumped over the wheel. The car lost control and flipped over crashing into the row of parked police cars. It burst into flames, setting fire on the other cars. The policemen panicked and ran to avoid the flames and explosions. Once in safety, they once again focused their attention on the mysterious attacker, but she was gone.
A/N: Yes! This is the GW fic I've been saying I was working on! I've had this plot in my head for the longest time now! Gomen for the extreme shortness of this chapter but I had to end it there ^^ Don't worry chapter two will be up soon. Well tell me what you think! Ja!
