My Target

1

"Miss l/n, you have worked for us for eight years now, and you are-by far- the best sniper we have in this country," My boss, and head of British Secret Services, told me, as she handed me a file.

I slid out the pictures, information and USB. I looked at my target's face for a minute, before looking back up at the boss.

"Who is she?" I frowned.

"That, Miss l/n, is Ms Wilhemina Venable. She is a key component to a secret organisation, calling themselves The Cooperative. As far as we know, they're planning the end of humanity, as we know it, and that woman, is one of the leaders. We need you to put a bullet through her head as soon as you can, but know that if you fail, so does everyone you have ever known," she said, handing me a box from under her desk.

"Nuclear war?" I guessed, taking the box from her. The box was always the best part of a mission.

"No. Not war, an apocalypse," she stated.

I stood up and pushed my chair back under her desk, before pulling all the information back into the file and picking up the box.

"I won't let you down, ma'am," I held out my hand and she shook it, nodding slightly.

"I know you won't," and I walked toward the door, "Oh and y/n? Stay safe," and then I left. I had always been favoured in the services. I had an aim like no other. All big missions were left to me, always. I exited the building and went out to my car, putting the file and box on the passenger seat, before slamming my door shut and turning on the car.

"Good afternoon, Miss," It greated me, as I took a mouthful of my coffee.

"Good afternoon, Jinx, I need to go home, please," I said, finishing my drink.

"Yes, Miss," and she started the steady drive home.

As the car drove me home, I looked over the file. Ms Venable was dangerous, but I had worked with worse. Boss said she wanted the target shot, but I didn't think that would cut it. If this woman was really a leader of the cooperative, she would be heavily protected and I was certain it wouldn't just be a case of shooting her through a window.

"Hey, Jinx?" I asked the car.

"Yes, Miss?"

"What can you tell me about Wilhemina Venable?"

"Wilhemina Venable is secretary for American company, Kineros Robotics. She was the first person hired in the business and has worked there for fourteen years. She resides in Irvine, California, USA. Is that what you wanted to know, Miss?"

"Yeah, thanks Jinx," I said, writing down this new information in my target folder.

I looked at my box for a moment, before deciding I was too excited to wait any longer. I pulled the top of the box open and was met witha gorgeous sight.

I was given a retractable sniper rifle, a single-barrel pistol, an earpiece, a small bag of arsenic for me and a new phone and passport. But then I saw the best bit. The car keys.

What would I be driving in this time?

I held the keys to an orange Lotus Elise in my warm hands, smirking at them.

"your destination, Miss," Jinx informed me, as he pulled up outside my house.

"Thanks Jinx, are you OK to put yourself away tonight, I'm on a new mission tomorrow?"

"Yes, Miss, may I ask what car I will be next?"

"An orange Elise," I grinned and got out of the car, letting him put himself away.

I got in and got changed out of my suit, letting my hair fall down and getting my laptop from the safe.

I checked my archive and saw the Venable file had already been made, with various bits of information in it. I booked my plane ticket to California, after reading through some folders, and went upstairs to get ready for bed.

I had a feeling this would be a long mission.
