TheDarkestShinobi: I usually read my chaps when I post them, the one time I didn't and I put up a repeat.
Next chapter up! (For real this time!) Review!
His arm was securely wrapped around her waist and her hands were on his shoulder. They both had smiles on their faces when he checked into his room. And he kept it there until the door closed behind them in the hotel room. He then pulled back and she took the bag off of her shoulder. She placed it on the bed and looked over to see him sitting in the chair with his head in his hands. He then lifted his head to look her up and down.
Something seemed to click in his head. The extra security was because of that threat. The one the assassin left behind had used his one police call to beg to be bailed out and deliver the message. She was coming.
"You're her aren't you?" She tilted her head.
"Who?"
"The one who sent the message." Smirking she took out a black cylinder and her gun. She nodded as she attached the silencer to her gun.
"Yeah, that's me." She pulled back the top and let it snap back into place as he placed his head back into his hands.
"Are you going to kill me?"
She didn't answer for a few seconds and he closed his eyes. He wasn't a religious man but he prayed to any god who would listen to spare his life. When he finished he looked up to find himself alone. Where did she go?
He sat there for a few minutes and she walked back in in a blue shimmering dress. She attached the gun to her leg and he looked back into her eyes.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"No." She turned to him and put on a white coat. "You did what I asked you to." She walked to the door and paused.
"You should stay here until the party starts, then leave quietly." He nodded
"Have a nice life."
He really thought she'd come back for him, she never did.
.
"The only one that is both here and on the guest list for the Daimyo meeting is a man by the name of Andrew Taika-something."
"Your pronunciation astounds me"
"yeah, yeah. He's light skinned, tall and has black hair."
"Could you be any more general?"
"He has a yin yang tattoo on his neck"
She found him pretty easily after that, not because of the tattoo but the fact that he gave a speech. She followed him after that, and when he was too inebriated to notice when one girl replaced another she slipped into his arms and up to his hotel room.
He was sobered up relatively quickly when a gun was pointed at his head. Christie was nothing if not cold when she needed to be and she had no problem issuing another threat. This man had a wife, but he didn't care for her, he did not have any children either but Raven found out that he visited his mother every other week, and she was just as good of a target.
"You are the one to not be named." He said suddenly with a gasp. "You're no common crook." He then realized with worry. He seemed to panic but she bumped the side of his head with the gun lightly to remind him. He stilled after that. After a few seconds he looked down.
"What do you want from me?"
"There are two options," she said now as she turned away from him and walked to the mini bar. He watched her walk away with wariness, why would she do that? Why would she leave him an open path to the door, he could leave right now if he ran. She turned with a smirk and he realized it didn't matter if he ran for it, she placed the hand with the gun on her hip, she would kill him before he left. He looked up to her face and she tilted her head.
"The first as we'd all prefer is for you to escort me to the Daimyo meeting-"
"Done." He cut her off. "I don't want to hear your threats; we both know I don't have much of a choice anyway." She nodded brought a glass of liquid to her lips before stopping.
"Good, now that we are both on the same page this becomes a lot easier." She poured another drink into a fresh glass and handed it to him.
"Cheers." She tapped the glasses together hearing a soft 'clink' and he drank his quickly hoping he could get drunk enough off this one drink to forget what happened.
She sat there with him for the next few minutes and he swayed. His vision became blurry and the last thing he saw was those plump pink lips.
"Goodnight Andrew."
.
"Good morning Andrew." His eyes snapped open as she waved the smelling salt under his nose, not that it mattered, the world was just as dark since he was blindfolded. Raven nodded his head with slight awe as she knew exactly when he would wake up. How many times had she done this before? How safe was it to bring people into her house all the time? Was this what led to Marty's untimely discovery? He narrowed his eyes as he turned in his chair and started typing at his computer.
Why wasn't she discovered? Why did it have to be Marty?
He shook his head as he heard the two conversing behind him. The only thing he could do now was make sure all those bastards pay! They all had to know his pain of losing someone dear, and then they would die. Christie only wanted to kill those involved but Raven was darker, he wanted them to suffer as well but for now their goal was common and he'd help her get to the daimyo meeting. Another click and the design for the ID card were up on his screen. Now it was time to edit it.
Unknown to the other two he had pulled up a second one when he was done that night, his face in a perfect light, he looked older in it. His name altered into something non-descript, nothing suspicious by being to obscure or too common. His birthday made him a ripe 23, old enough to get in but not the exact 21. The edges looked worn as if it was two years old and the ID was real. He smirked as he lifted the ID's, his done better than hers, he couldn't take any chances that night.
He opened a box he had been hiding. In it was a list of names he had gathered, a few crossed off and some circled. Next to it was a loaded handgun, something he hoped he'd have the pleasure of using in the near future. It was of a special design and wouldn't be caught by metal detectors since he wouldn't have time to sneak in and wouldn't be able to convince her to hide two of them without being suspicious. He placed the ID inside a plastic lanyard and dropped it into the box. He had a couple more days left and then, then he would avenge Marty once and for all.
