THESE CHAPTERS ARE GOING TO BE SHORT! The chapters in the books are short, so these chapters will be short. Deal with it people! Chapters shall come faster for this fic than the others anyway.
Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride. Just the plot.
Chapter Three
Nicholas still
I walked into the apartment room and locked the door. I know the drill: assignments in a different state/country require me to only take one suitcase that is filled with things I need for the mission. This is limited to: files explaining key people I should look for, file on my alias, file on my target, weapons that are easily hidden from metal detectors, and a few books that look like pleasure reading books but usually have more information on the place I'm going.
I walked around the apartment, opening and shutting a few drawers and cabinets. Yep, just as I had expected: Brigid had been here yesterday to stock up the entire place to make me look normal. Gotta remember to call her up in the morning to thank her for that.
I sat at the table in the kitchen and set the suitcase on it, opening it. I had already looked at the files on key people yesterday before leaving my home. I just need to see who I'm supposed to be this time and who the target is. First things first: my alias.
Name: Nick Martinez
Nickname: Fang (come up with a story for why you have that nickname. –Anne)
I sighed at my boss/mother's note. That's supposed to be her job, not mine. Shaking my head, I kept reading.
Age: 17
Grade: senior in high school
Appearance: shaggy black hair (check), obsidian eyes (check), olive skin (check), muscular but not bulky (check. Good. I don't need to change the way I look with dyes and things.)
Personality: quiet but easy to get along with once you get on his good side. Naturally strong even though it doesn't show. Least likely to start a fight, but most likely to finish one and walk away unharmed.
School performance: average student (try to make your GPA stay at a 4.0. –Anne)
History: Parents died in a car accident three months ago. No other family members to take care of him. Has seen the world and dated exotic women.
'That I have,' I thought at that part of the history. I smirked at the thought of my latest ex-girlfriend.
Additional information: Nicholas, a car is on its way now. Have it bugged, and keep it from getting stolen. You may keep your weapons inside, but hide them very well. Iggy will be posing as your brother James. Lissa will also be attending Arizona High School with you, but she will be a sophomore. She is your younger sister Kate. After reading this file, dispose of it ASAP. Preferably by burning it. Do this before reading about your target.
'She knows me too well,' I thought, smiling softly. My mother and I have our own way of showing our love for each other. The fact that she takes the time to tell me to burn classified files proves that she cares about me deeply. And the fact that I actually listen to her (she can tell because there are always video cameras in the places I stay at) shows that I take her very serious.
I grabbed the lighter out of my pocket and walked to the sink. I watched the folder burn halfway before throwing it into the sink. Once there was no longer any paper left, I turned the water on to put out the fire. I went to sit back at the table to read about the target.
Name: Maximum Ride
Nickname: Max
Gender: despite the name, female
Age: 16
Appearance: (also see picture) shoulder length dirty blond hair, Paris chocolate brown eyes, tanned skin, athletic
Personality: loyal to what few friends she has, tomboy, tough, doesn't let anyone mess with anybody associated with her, natural born fighter, stubborn
Strengths: hand-to-hand combat, knife throwing
Weaknesses: unknown
Other: Max Ride is targeted for her acquaintance with Ella Jones, Spy Jones's younger sister. Before killing her, find out all you can from the two girls about SND and everyone in it. Max isn't the type to easily be wooed, Nick, so you have to be careful with her.
'No weaknesses are known? How the hell am I supposed to get to her if I don't know her weaknesses? This is going to be a long assignment.' I sighed as I flipped the page to look at the picture of the girl. I was surprised to see that she was actually pretty cute even with the badass look on her face. As a matter of fact, the look makes her look sexy as hell.
I shook my head and put away the file for later. Obviously, I get to keep this one to add information to it to give to other assassins. And I do not have time for falling in… lust for a girl I haven't even met yet.
