The Assassin

Chapter One

As far as I could remember, at a young age, I was adopted by this rich family. 

 Calascione was not some ordinary family. They were influential in both politics and business. Who would've thought that I would be an "adoptive" girl from this family? Well, because my father had worked for them until he suddenly disappeared.. leaving me and my mother without knowing why he had suddenly gone AWOL. He was one fine man who worked and loved his job as a doctor for the Calascione medical business. He was also friends with Adreano Calascione. 

As to what has happened to my father? I still don't have any clue and even my deceased mother who died. Don't get me wrong I don't hate him.... I loathe him. My mother would've still lived if he had not abandoned us. I would've lived a normal life without feeling obligated to the Calascione. I would've found a job that was decent enough, not having my hands tinted with red from people. These trashy feelings I have felt for 11 years would've been gone if it weren't for him. Why did he disappear? Without explanation? What was he hiding? Was it so secretive to not even let his own family know? 

sigh 

"What's the sigh for? are you okay?"  I looked to my right. Feeling someone touched my shoulder while asking. What kind of person will admit if they are not okay? dummy.

"I'm fine. Just thinking of something" As I said that, she looked at me with pity and sympathy. Arya was about the same age as me when I was sent to the training ground. Her own family offered her to the Calascione as a payment for the debts they had. Bunch of assholes. They should've paid. Sometimes wonder what kind of piece of shit people would do something that would make other people sacrifice for them. 

We heard the alarm go on signaling for our break time was over. Training again. Sigh 

.

"I believe most of you have heard about the explosion on one of the Calascione businesses! As to what reason is behind this, we are still finding out why it has been planted with an explosion. So now, we have doubled security and spies within all the business parameters and I know some of you must've heard about a special mission on finding the son of a bitch who had the audacity to blow up this building... that's why after this training, I would like to call these people to the board room for a meeting. That would be all. Dismiss" 

Ahhh... another person has found the filthy business they were running. Heh. Maybe you're wondering? Filthy business? Yes. Filthy as in dirty. Drugs. Exportation of drugs. From different sectors. May it be politicians, businessmen, ordinary people. All kinds of dirty and addicted people, who would do anything for the drugs. If they want to be a mess they could shoot their heads... a much better way to mess up their heads...

As expected, I was one of the names enlisted to do the mission. Losing hope to have quite a break after the previous mission I had... ugh. Why can't I have a break just for once?! 

"Let's cut the crap and get to business. Andrei  Dolivo Jeong. This person has been interfering with the late transaction. As much we have gathered sources, we still haven't sourced out this fuckers face. He's pretty good with hiding. But from our source, he's looking for bodyguards. Personal bodyguards. Maybe this asshole's scared of what he did...maybe not. What's important is that we get him and kill him before he decides to really fuck up the transaction. Understand?" 

Wow. Never really expected for a person to really interfere with Calascione's business deals. Well good for him, these fuckers should also know to limit themselves with drug dealings. Ugh. 

"As for the team, you are all are assigned to have this mission accomplished as soon as possible. Artemis will be your team leader for this mission."

"Ugh? Her again? tsk" 

Ivy. That's the person who made such a side comment. She is about 1 year older than me. This piece of shit, although she's ahead of us, she acts like a 15-year-old bitch who only bickers but in fairness to her, she knows how to shoot and kill. Don't we all?  Well, can't definitely blame her. I remember when I was around 12 years old and she was 13 years old, In the training camp at the age of 12, mostly at this kind of age, we are put in an actual fight just to see if we have the capability and applied all the learnings we had from the training camp. As for me, I happened to be 3 years in training I needed 2 more years of training to have graduate and be on a mission. 

Unlucky thing is that my fighting partner was Ivy. This bitch bickers around telling others that she will slap me in front of the trainers. Arrogant bitch. She should've kept what she said to herself. I felt satisfied when I saw her shocked face when I was the one who slapped her in front of the trainers. That's why I hate arrogant people. They get on my nerves. You shouldn't be too arrogant f you're not that good enough. 

"What's your problem if she's the team leader? Perhaps you've forgotten how you got slapped 7 years ago" said Kenzo. Aside from Arya being a good friend of mine. Kenzo was my go-to-guy friend. He was a month younger than me. He had been recruited unlike some of us, who are the price of unpaid transactions. He doesn't talk too much about his background and sometimes I would feel he's a bit secretive about his personal life. 

"Bitch, please! We all know why she always has the attention. She's fucking part of the Calascione family. What's so good about her? huh?"  Well, bitch as much I want to run away from the Calascione family. I didn't have a choice. Plus I don't know why they would adopt me. Not my fault you look like a  frog. 

"Ugh. Please stop with your nonsense. Even if I wasn't adopted by Calascione, I'll still be the leader. So stop bickering."  I don't normally talk back to this kind of person cause I know it's just a waste of time but sometimes you just have to step up and talk back. ugh.  Can't I just have a peaceful day? 

"Stop now! Your conversations won't lead you to accomplish a mission" 

We all stopped and looked at our trainer. well, She's right. As much as I want to tell you all the details, let's just skip that. 

. 

As I looked up at the building. I felt a strange feeling. 

"Agent Artemis! do you copy?" 

"Alpha Artemis. Copy! We are heading to the entrance now!" 

"Wish you luck" 

As the call ended. I looked back at the members and nodded. 

"Let's find out who's this Andrei guy"
