I was crouching on the rooftop on an apartment complex; my eyes were locked onto a man in the building opposite from the one where I was. His name was Mike Newton and he was my target. He had been doing some dirty work with people he should never have got mixed up with. And right now he was seated on the window seat of his apartment completely unaware these were his last few minutes in this world. I took a breath, my finger on the trigger of my gun when I heard a noise broke the dead silence startling me.
I spun around to look at the man behind me. He was busy looking at his reflection in a window swiping his tongue over his white teeth.
"Jake what are you doing?!" I whispered to my partner in annoyance.
His eyes flashed to mine with his tongue still touching his teeth.
"Oh um... nothing" he said while crawling over to join me.
I slowly shook my head and got back to my target. I held up my AK-47 with the scope and a silencer. The target was in sight I had my aim. I quickly stopped and slowly looked over to Jake who was staring at me wide eyed. I smiled and looked back to the scope and took my shot. Once my target fell to the floor I had a grin on my face. Jake jumped up into the air.
"Mission accomplished" he hollered while pointing his finger into the air.
I laughed and rolled my eyes as I got up. He was such a child I thought to myself. I got out my cell phone to call my boss to tell him that the job was done. I dialed his number. One ring and he answered.
I rolled my eyes at Jacob, as I got up and pulled my cell phone from my pocket. He was such a child.
I dialed my boss's number on my phone. It rang once before he answered.
"The job is done" I said, my voce taking a more serious tone.
"Good I have new assignment for you when you get back," he replied in a matching tone.
"Okay, I'll be in tomorrow," I said then hung.
I turned to see Jake still doing his victory dance. He did that every single time we finish a mission.
I exhaled and shook my head, a smile tugging at my lips. "Jake stop doing your victory dance and let's go."
I turned away from him and made my way to the fire escape. Jake rushed past me just to get down first; he was already at the bottom waiting for me to get down. I took a deep breath to start my journey I am not the most coordinated girl out there and a rusty fire escape and me were not the best of friends. I was almost down the stairs when I missed a step and fell into Jake's waiting arms.
"I knew you were going to fall," he teased, with a smirk.
"Shut up."
He laughed at me. "You're just so clumsy."
"Can you put me down my savior" I asked sarcastically.
"Yes ma'am," he answered, and then put me down.
Jake and I walked to my Black Mercedes that was waiting for us down the block. I dropped Jake off at his house then sped off home.
As soon as I was home I threw my keys in the dish I have set next to the door. I picked out my outfit for tomorrow; a pencil shirt with a white blouse and a big black belt and some jewelry. I liked to have my things ready for the next morning so I could just get up and take a shower and get dressed and ready to go. Life was easier that way.
Then I crawled into bed and slept a dreamless night. As the alarm clock rang I slowly looked over to see what time it really was. I groaned it was 6:30 I hated walking up so early. I picked up the clock and whipped it across the room. I sighed with relief. Note to self buy a radio alarm clock. I giggled to myself it's good to start your day with some little humor since I had bought 3 alarm clocks already in the last week.
As I got into the shower to shampoo and condition my hair I was wondering what my new target would be. I always hope that it would be Jessica Stanley but it never is. But I still hope. As I got out of the shower and got my clothes on that I picked out last night. I walked back into the bathroom to blow dry my hair I decided to wear it wavy but it didn't help I always look average, plain. I walked out to my car to drive to work. My cover job was a journalist for the local newspaper because I didn't want anybody to know that I'm an assassin, a trained killer. My motto was kill one save 1,000's. My career did save a lot of people because the people I kill are dangerous to the good people around us. As I arrived to the "journalist" job I saw Jacob walking in I thought I would walk in with him this morning.
"Jake wait" I called out to him.
He looked back when he saw me he smiled.
"Hey I got you a coffee." He handed me the coffee.
"Oh thanks" I smiled.
Even though he acted like a child he was a great friend to have around. We walked to the elevator. I placed my card in and a new set of number levels appeared. I pushed level 7. These levels were underground for our safety. So no one would know we existed. We are kind of like Men in Black but people know who we are and we don't kill aliens or keep them safe so really we are nothing like the Men in Black, but kind of in some ways I guess. The elevator dinged
You have arrived at level seven. The mechanical voice stated.
We walked out of the elevator and to our desks. My phone rang when I got into my office
"Hello?" I answered.
"Miss Swan?" my boss asked.
"Yes"
"I need you in my office to give you and Jacob," he ordered. I knew that he was going to tell us about our next target.
"Okay we will be on our way" I said then hung up the phone.
I walked out of my office and into Jake's
"Hey come on we are getting our new assignment," I told him and then walked out. Jake ran out to catch up to me.
"Hey I hope it's a good one" Jake smiled while rubbing his hands together evilly.
I knocked on the door of the boss's office
"Come in," he said from inside.
We walked into the boss's office and sat down in the chairs opposite his desk.
"Good Morning" he greeted us. He's a nice boss but he can be a hard ass.
We nodded in response.
"This is your next target" he said while handing me the manila folder.
I opened it to look at what I knew was the photograph of the target. I shocked to find it was the photo of the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. And his name was Edward Cullen.
