At Jasmine's Home:

Jasmine collects her stash of drugs hidden under the bed and goes to the bathroom. She puts it all in the toilet and flushes it.

"You're gonna turn your life around, girl," she says to her mirage in bathroom glass. Her mind reminisces about her visit to the hospital last day.

"Jasmine I'll talk to Leyla about you & Rick," says her mom.

I've been promoted to be a manager. A decent salary would mean good care of my family. So no more pain & suffering. I think I'm now ready for this.

"If that's what you want," Jasmine says with a shy smile. 

"I knew you'd finally come around." She took her pills with a glass of water. "We'll plan for next month okay?"

Jasmine shakes her head in agreement. The memory blurs out and she sees herself in the mirage.

Decent job, good care of mom & brother and a gentleman in my life. "It's time for us, Rick." 

After finishing her daily chores she wakes her brother Adam and puts a bar of chocolate in his hand. 

"Oh wow thanks," he says smiling.

"Welcome...I am heading out for work." She steps out.

"Oh Rick, got a minute?" She asks as she sees Rick coming downstairs in a hurry.

"Of course." He stands near her.

Pmmm! Pmmm!

A loud horn disturbs them. Rick turns his head towards the exit.

"I guess that's for you," Jasmine says peeking at a car parked on the road. "No worries we'll talk later."

"Sorry for this." Rick waves a bye and pats towards it.

Pmmm! Pmmm!

Car horn roars again. "For god's sake!! Laura Dunham, just kill me already." Rick walks faster shouting.

Laura Dunham. Interesting name. Who is she? Jasmine wonders.

 ---------------------------------- 

They move to a mission location. Laura parks the car in a 4 storey rooftop parking lot. They get out. She looks with binoculars at a big hotel.

"Gordon Miller, 46 is having some suspicious activity. He has a booking in that room." She hands over the binoculars to Rick and points straight to a room.

"Looks like he's come," Rick informs as he sees a woman wearing a leather jacket opening the room door from inside. Miller enters the room. 

Laura takes binoculars from him. "Huh. he's having an affair." She sighs and gives it back to him and goes to her car.

She comes back with a camera. "Here, take some photos and we'll be on our way." 

"But they're not doing what they're supposed to do," Rick informs as he notices they have been just talking since Miller came.

Laura hands over the camera and takes binoculars. Rick clicks some photos when the man puts & opens a suitcase full of cash on bed.

The woman in the room takes out a camera and focuses on Miller. He ducks down laughing. 

Click!

A bullet comes out of the woman's camera and hits the window glass.

"Bloody hell!! She's an assassin!!" Laura puts binoculars down. "Get in the car!!" she shouts.
