A young woman sat on a bench in a small booth made of wood. She was looking strait forward and not moving when a small opening to her right opened.
"I'm here my child." A man said.
"Bless me father for I have sinned." The woman said. "It has been….well this is my first confession."
"Tell me what you have done my child and I will help you." The man said.
"Well to tell you what I did I need to start at the beginning." The woman said. "I'm an assassin for hire."
"My lord." The man said.
"I wan contacted by a client last week and told that the mark would be at the Sushi Ito restraint today at noon." The woman said. "I set up my rifle and waited for the mark to arrive."
Sushi Ito 11:50 am
The skilled assassin sat in the heat of the sun from the roof of a nearby building waiting for her mark to take her seat at a table for a clean shot. The Mark was standing up talking on her phone and dressed in her business suit. After several minutes she sat down and the assassin readied to take her shot. She placed the crosshairs of the scope on the side of the marks head and slowly started squeezing the trigger but stopped. She closed her eyes trying to shake off the images running through her mind. She remembered all the fun she had had with this mark and was for the first time reconsidering the contract.
'Why did I take this contract?' She thought.
She opened her eyes and saw the mark reading a book with the crosshairs still on her head. She took a deep breath before completing the contract. In one instant of noise and panic Sylia Stingray lay dead on the floor of the restraint and the assassin packed up her rifle and headed down the stairway. As she was walking she picked up the phone the client gave her and called him.
"This is Jade the contract has been fulfilled." She said and hung up.
She continued down the stairway and out of the building and right past the group of police that had already arrived. She had her rifle in a guitar case and over her shoulder.
"You with the Guitar stop." An officer said.
She looked back and saw him walking towards her.
"Let me see your case." He said.
He walked up and reached for the case and grabbed it but before he could take it from her he fell to the ground with a bullet in his chest from the silenced pistol in her hand. She quickly turned and ran down the street but not fast enough. As she was running she heard the sound of several pursuers running behind her so she dropped her rifle and ran strait for the church that was on the corner. She walked into the confessional to collect her thoughts when the sliding door opened.
Church present time
"That was my sin." She said.
"My child there is only one thing I can say." The man said. "I'm not allowed to turn you in so the only thing can say is you need to turn yourself in."
"I understand." She said and stood up. "It's time for me to atone for my sins."
She walked out of the confessional and pulled the slide on her pistol back making sure it was loaded.
"This will be my atonement." She said as she opened the door and looked out at the several police cars and officers pointing their guns at her.
"Drop the weapon and put your hands on your head." An officer yelled.
'It's time to atone.' She thought as she raised her pistol at the nearest officer.
Several shots were fired into her and the doors of the church before she fell lifelessly to the ground. 3 officers walked up and searched her for identification and found a tattoo of a Dragon defending a Jade.
"So this is the infamous assassin Jade Dragon." One of the said as he pulled out a small wallet from the inside of her shirt. "Priscilla Asaragi." He said and threw the wallet down on her back.
