Chapter 9 The Beginning of the End.

Several hours later 13 woke up in the all to familiar hospital styled room, as she looked around she saw that Benny was once again beside her, asleep in a chair, déjà vu.

As 13 sat upright she heard talking from outside it sounded like Dutch, Revy and Rock were talking to Balalaika.

"Several of my comrades have been unexpectedly assassinated, along with a few of Mr Chang's own men, we have no information regarding the killer except that there eye's were blood red like a demon.

As you can guess we expect that the assassin's have something in common with your newest employee"

13 was shocked but not surprised at this news, she knew that after the higher ups had not been successful at retrieving her that they would create as large a commotion as possible.

13 looked down at the other side of her bed and saw all her belongings, she'd made up her mind.

After she finished getting dressed she found a pen a wrote two separate notes and stuffed one into Benny's shirt pocket the other was laid onto the now unoccupied bed.

Before jumping out the open window she went to Benny's side and kissed him she left a lipstick mark on his cheek.

"Thank you Benny, for everything"

As she jumped out the window a solitary tear rain down her face, after several steps she heard Benny wake up with a yell as the others all piled in.

Balalaika read the note and passed it to Dutch.

"That idiot she thinks she can take them out herself, Revy, Rock go find her now"

After the rush had calmed down Benny had returned to his room for a shower as he took his shirt off he saw something fall out the pocket.

Benny picked it up and sat on the bed as he read it.

"Thank you Benny you made me happier than I've ever felt I'll never forget you, I just wanted you to know"

Benny put his head in his hands before putting his shirt back on and running out the open front door.

At the outskirts of Roanapur a lone figure was hanging onto the 4th floor window of a supposable long abandoned hotel.

13 was listening to a single man talking on the phone.

"Yes sir it shouldn't take long, we have already caused damage to Hotel Moscow and the Triad with there current lack of knowledge we have nothing to fear… The girl, no sir we haven't found her location yet but we will keep you informed if we receive any Intel"

13 heard this individual put down the phone and mutter something under his breath.

"You just wait sir"

His voice was laced with sarcasm.

"I'll be the one to kill you, no one will harm that girl"

The man stopped as he lit a rather fine looking Cuban cigar.

"13 its cold outside get your ass in here"

13's eye's widened but wasted no time on crawling through his window.

The man smiled as he offered her one of his cigars.

"You look like shit 13, go take a shower, don't worry about being caught no one will expect me such a good employee to be hiding you"

As the final word left his mouth he laughed.

13 looked up and smiled.

"Mark thanks, I'm going to need you're help to finish this once and for all"

The man called Mark turned and went to his desk, he opened it and brought out several important looking documents.

"With these I can tell you nearly everything you need to destroy the organisation these range from future deal locations, allies, enemies, schematics, safe houses everything."

13 smiled as she got in the shower letting the pleasantly warm water run over her body.

Mark had carried on talking from the other side of the bathroom door he'd even planned out the first operation which would start early the next morning.

Once out the shower mark offered her his bed as he was already pretty much asleep on his couch.

After about 3 hours Mark woke up with a jolt but didn't quite know why as he stood up and walked past his room he saw that 13 wasn't on his bed, not remotely surprised he looked under his bed was a very curled up 13.

Upon closer inspection Mark saw that she had cried herself to sleep and from the way she was shaking her nightmares were still just as traumatic as ever.

"Those fuckers will pay for what they did to you"

The next morning 13 woke up after having another nightmare ridden night as she touched her face she realised that she must have been crying upon realising this she became enraged with herself and this appearance of weakness.

After 13 got dressed she walked into the main room Mark was already wide awake running through his large collection of documents.

"O 13 your up, this first assassination should be relatively easy there meeting at what's left of the facility you blew up, the way they see it no one would expect a top secret meeting in such a unguarded place"

Mark brought out a large map with a large amount of crosses and circles.

"I suggest you sniper from this position there's no need for them to see you quite yet, with this attack we'll have them paranoid, and in there confusion we'll gain the upper hand"

13 smiled as she started cleaning her M107 and prepared to leave.

"Now it begins"
