Silent Assassin
Chapter 2: Dreams
The room was silent except for the soft tapping of keys on the keyboard. She was alone in the large lab.
With a final tap on the keyboard, she broke the code and brought up a page. Quickly typing in her name, she hit 'enter'.
'Processing. Please Wait' flashed on the screen and she tapped the edge of the desk impatiently.
'No records found' the computer stated boldly after a few minutes.
"Damn it!" she growled and slammed the wall in frustration.
"Now, now, my dear. And what exactly are we doing?" a voice echoed from the doorway. She quickly hit a few keys and the page disappeared.
"Nothing" she said, her voice emotionless, and stood "Just double checking that there were no traces left during the last mission"
"Ah" the person nodded "Very good"
She nodded silently and headed out of the lab.
The short balding man watched as she departed. As soon as she disappeared around the corner, he sat down at the computer checking for what she was doing. There were no traces of anything other than what she told him.
"But there wouldn't be, would there" he said smiling, as he stroked his chin.

She shut the door behind her as she entered her room in the living quarters of the base. There she lay down on the bed with her hands behind her head. She sighed.
Once again he had interrupted her search. He seemed to do that a lot, she realized. But not like she ever found anything anyway, it always said "no records found". She had planned to hack into the base's top-secret files, but the Professor had disrupted her once again. It was almost like he wanted to see how far she could go every time before he stopped her.
Without realizing it, she began drifting asleep; but her mind was troubled. There were shadows, she was in a dark lab. In the middle of the room were two children; a boy and a girl, no more than six or seven years old. They were playing, but as she looked closer, her eyes widened. The children were playing with parts and pieces of a gun; the point of the game seemed to be to put the gun together quicker than the other.
Suddenly she gasped and woke up. Looking around in confusion, she realized she had fallen off the bed and was now on the floor.
She listened for the noise that had awakened her and breathed a sigh of relief as she realized it was only her laptop. She was in no mood to fight off any mysterious attackers.
Getting up, she dusted off her black jeans and walked up to her laptop. As she switched it on, a new message came up immediately.
She through it rapidly and hit a key to send a reply.
"Mission accepted"
A/N: Gomen it took me so long, I was just so caught up with "Predator"! I'll try to update more often, really. Hope you enjoyed this chappy! Ja minna-chans!
Luv,
