Chapter 9
Today is then end of my down time, the end of my relaxation. Today I had a job to do. I was curious about it, and to tell the truth I was looking forward to it. I can't deny the fact that I'm an assassin, I need something to keep me busy, some targets. I put on a T-shirt over my body, naked except for my cross, then some sweat pants. Jeans are bad for movement. I went downstairs and saw that Julie and Matt were both already there.
"You sure slept long, it's half past ten already." Julie said.
"Um...I was up late." I blushed.
Matt sighed, "I'm not even gonna ask why."
"Good." I sat down and picked up some toast, "Hm...real food, who made it?"
"I did," Julie got up and made me a cup of coffee. "Here, you'll probably need this, it's gonna be a long day by the look of it."
"Yeah, Chan might be a little harder to get than I thought." Matt said. I didn't like the worried look on his face.
"What's up?" I asked, I thought this was just going to be another easy job. "Something wrong?"
"Well, the problem is that Chan has lots of connections, he's got some of the Chinese police to protect him. I'm not sure if you know this, but the government has been keeping a close watch on my father, and now me." Matt sighed. "So if they think I'm involved in killing or harming Chan, then I'm in for some shit."
"Then I guess we gotta make it quiet." I said, I really didn't understand what the problem was, after all, I am a silent assassin, in-kill-out, simple as that.
"How are you going to be quiet when pretty much half the city is guarding Chan?" Matt said, I could tell he was frustrated.
"That bad hun?" I sat back into my chair.
"Don't worry Matt, Danny and I can do this." Julie tried to comfort Matt.
"I'm not sure if I should let you two pull this job or not, it could get dangerous."
"Aw...Matty, you're getting soft." I laughed. "You know us, we can do pretty much anything. That's why I want a raise, haha kidding."
"Tell you what, if you do this well, and come out alive, I'll give you anything you want." Matt said with a worried distracted look on his face.
"Naw, it's ok, I don't need anything right now, I got everything I want. But I'll do the job, and of course I'll do it well." I looked at the map Matt put on the table.
"Hey, just curious, where's Christy, I haven't seen her since last night." Julie asked.
"Um...she's still sleeping, she was up late." I started to blush again and Julie giggled.
"Come on guys, focus. I don't want anything to go wrong." Matt started pointing at different spots on the map. "The main entrance is here, expect about 4 guards, there's a hill here where Julie can set up to snipe them. But the problem is how to kill four of them with out any sound. They all have headsets and radios, if even one of them alert Chan, it's over."
"Wow, pressure." I said as I studied the map, I pointed to a spot on the map. "What's this line?"
"That's the creek at the rear of Chan's Mansion, he had it redirected so it flows through his back yard." Matt said.
"Haha, stupid rich bastard. That's gonna be my entry and exit point." I was sure I could get away with that, land in his back yard and scale his walls. Then jump in through a window and eventually kill Chan, sounds simple to me. "I'm gonna need Julie to give me sniper fire."
"No problem." Julie said, Matt was still thinking about what I said.
"I don't think that's safe," Matt said, then realized what he said. "Never mind, nothing about this is safe. Just take care of yourself ok?"
"Right, nighttime like always?" I asked.
"Nighttime like always," Matt answered.
"I'm in, got any guards on your sight?" I asked as I slowly swam through the creek.
"No, Danny it's all clear for now, hurry, and be careful." Julie's voice spoke through my headset.
I quickened my pace and climbed out onto the bank, and into Chan's backyard. I took off my wet outer layer of clothes, obviously they were water proof. I suddenly heard a snap, and then a whizzing sound past my ear, I turned my head to see what it was and saw a dark shape falling in the shadows. "Saved your ass." Julie said. "You owe me."
"How bout breakfast tomorrow? I'll take you out, making breakfast feels more like punishing you." I searched through the guards body for anything useful, any keycards...
"Sure, Matt might get annoyed though...Haha oh well, might do some good for him to get a little jealous. To your left."
I whipped my gun around and squeezed off two rounds, one in each guards stomachs. Head shots are beyond my abilities, that was Kyle's specialty not mine. I gave up searching for useful equipment on the guards and started to scale the wall. It was a tall house, five stories, huge. I avoided most of the windows but there was one I just had to go over, I waited till Julie told me it was safe, then I quickly moved over it. But it was like God wanted to screw me over, a cat inside jumped at the window and the owner jumped at the cat. The result was that the window crashed open and I fell, three and a half stories.
"Shit! Danny, get up, come on, get the fuck up. Dammit, guards coming, I can't get them all, Danny!"
I heard shots and screams as the guards went down, then I blacked out.
"Danny, fuck man, get up...get out, I'm out of bullets, shit...I'll be back with help." Julie left and quickly made her way back home, I had no idea what was going on, I was in a coma.
"Hey, I think he's waking up."
A cat meowed as if in agreement.
I opened my eyes slowly, I looked around at my surroundings, where am I? Why am I here? What happened? Why does my head hurt like hell? Why?
"Hey, you fell quite a way, you ok?"
"Who are you...? Why am I here? Where am I?"
"Wow, lots of questions, I'm Kayla, You're here because you're injured, by the way sorry bout that, my cat jumped at you when she saw you, I was afraid she'd fall out." She took the cold cloth off my forehead. "And you are in my room right now. I've been hiding you here, hehe, kinda exciting don't you think?"
"Hun...? Exciting...room...I fell...now I feel...like shit." I was still dazed, where the fuck am I?! Who is this girl?
"So who are you?" Kayla asked.
"I'm...My name's...What the fuck...Who am I? Who am I?" I can't remember anything, the fall...that's all I can remember, dammit...do I have amnesia? Must be, better be short term, I think there's something important I have to do...oh well a fake name will do for now. "My name's Kyle."
