Secret Little Assassin

Second Kidnapping 1

"It's alright, Blaze and AJ," Officer Anna assured her colleagues. "We'll find Sparkle and find the kidnapper,"

"Thanks, Officer Anna," Blaze offered a smile, though it was lightly forced. "AJ and I'll join the search as soon as we take Mom and Dad home,"

"Alright, see you back here," Anna nodded and drove off to tell the chief.

Blaze and AJ turned the other direction to drive out and rejoin their parents. Phoenix was sobbing into Flame's tires when they came out.

"The police are gonna do a search, and we'll join them later," the red truck told them. "Let's head home first,"

"I can't believe someone would kidnap Sparkle like that," Phoenix sniffled as they drove through the streets.

"Don't worry, Phoenix, we'll find her, and bring that kidnapper to justice," Flame consoled his wife.

"For now, I think it's safer if you guys stayed at home," AJ suggested. "Blaze and I have to join the search,"

"But... what if the kidnapper gets you two?!" Phoenix turned to them in distress.

"Don't worry, Mom, we won't let that happen," Blaze assured her.

"But—"

"Mom, we need to search with the police because we're also police officers," AJ insisted. "It's our duty, especially since it's Sparkle involved in all this,"

"Alright," Flame sighed in defeat. "but be back before midnight. We want to make sure that you two are alright,"

"We will, Dad, don't worry," Blaze offered them a smile as they all headed back home.

It was late night when Pickle snuck into where his client had marked out his location. He glanced down at his tablet and sighed as he approached a huge mansion.

'Well, these politicians are becoming more lying asses by the minute," he snarled as he landed in the back garden and hid behind the bush, as instructed.

A butler soon appeared from inside and drove over to him. He looked a little shaken up as he fearfully approached the assassin.

"Th-This is from my master," he spoke, handing out a letter.

"Where is your so-called master?" Pickle asked, voice going deep to not be recognized that easily.

"He... He refuses to come out until the deal is fully sealed," the butler stammered but managed to hand out a sack. "H-Here is the first payment,"

Pickle nodded and grabbed the bag before taking off into the night. He soon reached Axle City and snuck back into the house through a window without the officers noticing him. He quickly shut the window and headed to his room, turning on a lamp as he set down the letter and the sack on the bed. He opened up the sack and counted it, but what caught him off-guard is the double amount of the coins than they had earlier agreed on.

"What in...?"

He grabbed the letter and opened it to read.

['To Assassin P,
Here is the amount of money, as promised for kidnapping my sweet Sparkle. I doubled it for the effort you most likely used and to pay you for not saying a word to the police. Sparkle MAY look young, but she just is really a teen, trust me. Once you had killed Blaze's Mom, I will give you the next sack.
From: SPK69']

"Trust me, my ass..." Pickle growled and threw the letter off the bed.

He sighed and took the sack of money before heading to his phone. He grabbed it and quickly called one of his sisters.
