Ok and we're back. So how do you like the idea? I think its creative and new. Something few people have seen and might just like. In this chapter, we may see more of the gazelle from the last chapter. Though it's a surprise!
PrinceOfBlades normally has a place to add something here but I can't give him it. I have a really big surprise for him and for this story at the end of the chapter. Sorry Bud but you will understand.
On to the story.
It had been two weeks since Daniel had saved the gazelle. He appreciated the fact that she wanted to see him more but since she didn't understand who he was he couldn't let her in on the dark side of the world. He hadn't had any work for a few weeks which was weird for him. He had spent his weeks either out exploring or at the range. He needed to work on the pistols. Everybody wanted to use or try them but he wouldn't give them up. He couldn't let them know who or what he was. He needed the range time to clear his head. It was hard to get time to himself. He didn't exactly wear the most normal clothes. He wore all black suits and a large blood red trench coat. He had a blood red sunhat looking thing. (couldn't find any way to represent the hat. But it's not a girly type of hat). He also wore dark black sunglasses which made it to where you couldn't see his eyes. When he was normally very blue eyed except when out on a job. They switched to a blood red color after taking someone out. He never understood why but it happened. He could control the thirst for blood and never really needed any. It got worse with each kill but he figured out how to sustain himself from doing such things.
Daniel was watching TV and cleaning the firearms. Both are specially made for Daniel himself. Since he is technically half vampire half demon he has immense strength. The pistols unloaded weigh about 6 pounds. No human could wield the beastly pistols. He loved both the guns and regularly cleaned them. He was putting the last piece back together in the second pistol when the phone rang. Daniel had it up and to his ear before the first ring ended. He needed to come in. He didn't want to as for what he heard next. "You will be assigned a partner." The phone disappeared into a million pistols and a loud ringing filled the air. Daniel pressed the slide release on the second pistol releasing the slide which closed with a satisfying click. Daniel looked the two unique pistols over. They were long both about 10 and 13 inch barrels. The handguns were massive and more powerful than any normal mammal could handle. He decided he would have to get a move on if he wanted the contract even if it meant having a partner. He though IF they lasted two weeks he would try to remember their name. He had a bad record of accomplishment with partners. Especially with the line of work he was in. He grabbed the dark red over coat and put the pistols into the cross-draw holsters. Daniel then grabbed the FN Ballista from its place over the mantle. He slung the rifle over his shoulder and walked over to the car elevator in his apartment. He put the rifle in its case and loaded in the car and sent the elevator to the bottom floor.
He started the corvette and drove it out onto the street. It was early morning and the traffic was light. Daniel had the roof down and the wind was blowing through his fur. The corvette hummed along the street and Daniel was weaving in between the cars. He couldn't wait to get the next assignment.
"Maybe a partner won't be so bad. They are probably a tiger or wolf. It could be worse what if they were like a gazelle or something." Daniel laughed at the last part. He knew they would have to give hi someone who could keep up with him. What worried him was it was someone who would help him hunt targets and spirits for the church. He hoped they would be able to handle the dark side of this city. He knew of the evils but most of the residents of the city had no idea of the darker side of this wonderful city.
He pulled into the plain looking building and parked the corvette in the employee of the month spot. That was reserved for the most dangerous assassin and Daniel was it. They couldn't label the sign Most Dangerous Assassin because the building was an "accounting firm". Daniel shut the car of and got out. He put the matching red hat on and walked to the door. He walked past the guard who didn't care that he had the massive rifle over his shoulder. He walked straight though the metal detectors which went off. Nobody dared say anything to him. The last time it happened they had to clean the hall way and hire a new guard. Daniel was not one to follow rules. He carried his guns in the building even though the agency said not to. They maid and exception after the guard incident only for him.
Daniel took the elevator to the top floor where the boss had his office. It was weird that the boss wanted to see him. He normally just sent Daniel the target over a phone call. Nobody was able to trace the calls as they were from "Burn" phones. Like the ones, you find in Walmart. Daniel pushed open the door. He immediately notices strange figure sitting in the chair he used. He pulled out The Valkyrie. That was what slide read on the pistol. He was about to fire when the boss said
"Put that damn gun away. That is your partner and I told her to sit in your chair." Daniel put the gun away. "Wait did you say her?" Daniel was surprised few females became assassins. He walked over towards the chair. When he sat in the other one he didn't look over at the other animal. "What's your mission completion rate?" The female spoke. "I'm about two missions from having your parking spot." Daniel smiled. "It will be a cold day in hell before anybody else parks there sweetheart." Daniel sat the rifle on the desk and turned to look at the other mammal. He immediately forgot what he was about to say.
"Long time no see. I love how you said I didn't know what this world held yet I'm the closest one to having you parking spot." The gazelle Daniel saved not but to weeks ago. "Karma thou art a bitch." Daniel spoke.
The gazelle spoke up. "My names Sarah and why is karma a bitch?" Danie smiled she was nice enough but that might get her killed out in the field. "I said in my car the worse I could have would be a gazelle." Sarah looked him over and was about to say something when the boss spoke. It was strange sitting in the office because nobody knew what type of mammal the boss was. Nobody had ever seen him. "If you two are done bitching let's get down to business. Daniel, you are to take her to the tanning facility. She doesn't know much about killing. All her missions have been protection detail." Daniel made a sour face "Great a green horn." Sarah said, "That's kind of offensive to mammal with horns." Daniel scowled. "Does it look like I give a shit?" Sarah stood up trying to make herself bigger but when Daniel stood up she wishes she hadn't. Daniel was about a foot taller and a large stocky build. "Let's go short stack" Daniel said and slung the rifle over his shoulder and walked out. Sarah smiled. "He really just says what he wants. I like that." She thought to herself. She had to almost run to keep up with the very large snow leopard. She finally caught up at the elevator and Daniel held the button for the ground floor. Sarah asked, "Why are you holding it?" The lights kept going after ground floor. The doors opened to a training facility. Danie stepped out onto the track. "I want to see your mile time. Get ready." Sarah just smiled. She was wearing shorts and a long sleeve shirt. Daniel though it was weird but he hadn't said anything. Sarah casually took of the shirt. Normally any guy would love to see a girl take of her shirt but Daniel was appalled for a different reason. She had on a black sports bra but what really caught his attention was the pair of wings. Daniel dropped the rifle.
And that's where the cookie crumbles. Sorry about the cliffhanger but I had to. I think this is going to be a great story and will be longer then my other one. Though I am thinking about writing 10 more chapters for the other story finishing it off and making you all happy. Not sure yet
Hmmmm, I'm forgetting something… Ohhh yea, the notes for PrinceOfBlades.
