Assassin's Secret

chapter 6

Astralea's POV

I knew that the only place I can find any information is the underground.

Entrances to underground were all around the city, but I use the one in the hair salon. Not a lot of people know about it which is a plus. I really don't like interacting with people sometimes. Actually, I hate people..

Everything in the underground was connected through secret passageways. I dont know how big underground actually is. I don't think anyone does.

Our lair was well hidden and the entrance to it was through the ceiling. Even if anyone somehow manages to find it they would have to climb up there and unlock the door, only 5 people have access to it. Our little assassin group and my sister. We are kind of pros at gymnastics so getting up there is quite easy for us.

Checking my surroundings I made sure that no one was around. No one is usually in that area of the underground but better be safe than sorry.

I unlocked the door with my handprint and threw my bag in and pulled myself up there. Tia and Selene were already there. Allie was on a mission somewhere in Latin America, or Asia, I guess I'll know from the news about some random "gas explosion". That's how we keep track of her.

To be honest I have no idea what's the goal of her missions besides blowing something up, but I don't feel like asking.

Our tiny lair has couches, 4 monitor screens for Selene's laptop, I have no idea why she needs 4 but okay, and a huge wall TV that we use for surveillance or news. On the other side we have out collection of wigs, clothes, guns, knifes, a few grenades and a bazooka. Still waiting for a day to use that one.

We also have a gas fire place to keep it warm. It's very cold in the underground.

And we connected it to our self destruct system. One button and everything in the room will get deleted and destroyed. So if anyone breaks in, they won't get shit.

"Did you get my message?"

"No, we just decided to spend our Saturday night working instead of partying" Tia said with her usual level of sarcasm.

"And before you ask, I already set up a program, if anyone here says anything about a bomb I will know." Selene said.

A year ago we spent about 3 months setting up listening devices in each club, bar, literally everywhere. They do constant checks of places so we had to make sure that we won't get caught.

It helps a lot, we can find information without actually "talking" to anyone, which made Tia a little upset. She loves her daily dose of violence. Me, I usually punch people during a fight rather than interrogation.

"I'm going to go to Lotus and see if I can get anything there. I'm in the mood for dancing anyways." Tia said.

Locus is a prestige strip club and it just so happened that Tia is a part time stripper there, obviously undercover. She loves it though, not for attention, I'm pretty sure she is zoned out half of the time, she loves pole dancing, probably even more than fighting. And she is good at it. Her nickname there is Queen.

"Let me know as soon as you hear anything, even if it's a tiny thing that might be insignificant. I don't have much time."

"Also make sure you are deep undercover because Nex is there" Selene said.

"WTF is my brother doing there?"

"Did you really just ask us what a man is doing at the strip club?" I honestly hate Tia's sarcasm, but she isnt wrong, that was a dumb question to ask.
