DISCLAIMER: You know the drill...I don't own it!

My eyes scanned the lounge, searching for any signs of danger, as is natural for any assassin.

I relax slightly as I don't find anything.

"So. As part of the deal, I want my payment straight away." I say, my voice modifier was changing my vocal patterns.

"And why would we pay you?" Eisuke asks glaring at me with fire in his eyes.

I chuckle darkly, "And you would risk my wrath by not doing so?"

Soryu pulls something out of inside jacket pocket and I am instantly alert.

He slams something onto the coffee table, and I smirk when I notice that it is a money envelope.

"See? Soryu is apparently the only smart one among you."

I stick my gloved hands into my pockets, my fingers curling around a smoke shield gadget.

"Now hand over the money, please."

Soryu begins to pull out his gun, and I laugh.

"Good luck with that one."

I could tell he was shocked when Savanna holds her gun up to his head. When she had shown up and snuck up on Soryu, I didn't know nor did I care. I was too busy being focused on the task at hand.

"My my how the tables have turned." I say sarcastically.

"What more do you want?" Eisuke asks clearly worried over Soryu no doubt.

I look back toward Alex. "Info."

I leave right after I get the Intel I needed and I take Alex back to her apartment.

Back at my own place, after a quick shower and I change back into regular clothes, I stretch out on my couch.

Not five minutes later there is a knock on my door. Who could it be at this time of night?

Peering through the peephole, I quickly unbolt the door and open it to find Soryu standing there.

"Hey Soryu! What's up?"

He just pushes his way into my apartment and I slowly close the door.

"Soryu?"

He glares at me, like I had done something wrong.

"Who are you Scarlet Knight? What do you want from me?" he demands.

I crack my knuckles, "I don't know about you, but I am starting to get a case of déjà vu." I have faced down some of the toughest people in the world, this is nothing.

"Stop messing around, Scarlet!"

I smirk, "As opposed to what?"

He growls, "Are you or are you not a hit man?"

"And what would you do with my answer to that question?" I could feel my heart racing. I could just tell, that this was going to end badly.

He steps closer to me, but I don't shrink back, I won't cower.

"Just answer the damn question."

I sigh, this part of the plan was going perfectly. Yes, this was all apart of my master plan. Surprised?
