Hey, well new chapter, sorry for the longer delay, but finals and baseball is cracking down on my spare time. I opted for quality over a quick chapter so let me know what you think.

The man was just a normal guy working his every day job of delivering the mail. Little did he know that the letter he was placing into the right mail slot could very well spell doom for Kasey and her friends.

"Hey guys…oww" Jeremy grabbed his head and layback down in the bed. "What Happened?"

Ulrich and the others were gathered around Jeremy and they quickly explained the attack. Jeremy was quite surprised that it was William who was the operative.

"I never would of suspected someone our age, this means that they are more discreet in their ways than we thought."

"Jeremy, there's one more thing."

Jeremy turned his head and stared up at Aelita. "Yeah"

"Jeremy, we only discovered that William was the operative because Xana told us."

"What!" Jeremy bolted up ignoring the pain. "Your kidding right?"

"No she's not Jeremy, I saw the message, he turned on your computers camera to record the attack. He didn't exactly save you, but he did give us an advantage we desperately need." Yumi said.

"I'm so confused, I think we need to send someone to Lyoko to try and talk to Xana, see what he's up to, maybe…"

"I volunteer!" Odd half shouted interrupting Jeremy.

"Alright, we'll plan to do this tomorrow evening, I should be fine by then."

"What about William?" Kasey asked.

"Don't act differently around him for now, I know it's hard, but he doesn't know that we know who he really is and we need that element of surprise."

The crew broke up and went back to their separate dorms and Yumi headed home. While the small group of teens was talking with Jeremy, William went to check his mail. He opened the box and he pulled a small envelope out. He flipped it over a few times in his hands and opened it pulling out the card inside.

Dear William,

We are so proud of you and hope you

Have a wonderful birthday today

Go ahead and do something special,

We wish we could be there,

Your loving parents

William re-read the card, his birthday wasn't for another six months, these were orders.

'About time' thought William, 'Now I can finish them off for good' William walked to his door contemplating the card.

"Do something special" That was the key word for assassinations and it was obvious his target was the new girl. They really would want to be here to see me kill her and her friends wouldn't they. Well, I'll just have to do a good job anyway. William reached his room and walked to his closet and pulled out a small box hidden in the wall. He opened it and pulled out two pistols, ammo and some other items.

"Time to have a little fun." William laughed and he hid the guns under his jacket and walked into the hall.

Yumi was walking through the crowded hall when she saw William walking her way.

'Just ignore him' she told herself and she kept walking. She couldn't help but chance a look at him and he smiled at her. 'nothing new' she thought until she saw him pull out two pistols from his coat. Yumi quickly dove into a nearby classroom surprising the teacher inside.

"Young lady what's…." The professor was cut off as a bullet shattered the small window in the door. Yumi looked around for a way out, but there was none. The professor launched himself at William but was rewarded with a quick kick to the temple, which put the older man out for a while.

"Now Yumi, tell me where are your friends?

Yumi nervously stood up and brushed her pants off, "William, I'll never tell you where they are, I'll never sell them out, even if it kills me."

"A pity, I kind of liked you." With that William pulled the trigger and walked back out the door in search of the others.

The pain was horrible, it felt like her whole stomach was on fire. Yumi looked down at her stomach and saw a dark blood stain forming on her black shirt. She tried to stop the bleeding with her hands but knew she'd not live without help. 'Ulrich please help me' In the distance Yumi could hear screams and then more shots.

Odd was running for his life jumping over tables in the cafeteria. William had entered and opened fire at the table that he and Kasey had been sitting at. Odd had pushed Kasey out of the way and was now bleeding from his arm where he'd been caught by a ricochet. Kasey had managed to escape out the side door along with the other frightened students.

'At least she's safe for the moment,' thought Odd as he dove over another table and turned it over just in time to block another clip of bullets. William stopped to reload and that's when Odd made his break for the door. Odd had never run so fast before. He felt like his legs were going to explode, but he was almost to the door. Then he heard the click of the clip being inserted into the gun. William took aim and fired.

Well there you go, another cliffy, I know I'm soooo mean, LOL. Hey please review and let me know what you think. Don't worry if you don't see another chapter for a week or two. It will come, I just have to study for finals, but I'll most likely take a break from studying to write another chapter. Thanks for reading and now review please (:
