My Target

4

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I turned off my alarm and roled over to be met with Ally sat on the edge of my bed, looking at her phone.

"What the hell are you doing?" I groaned, not wanting to put up with her shit that day.

"You're meeting with our target is in three hours," she smiled softly.

"I think you meant my target, and I don't need you to be my personal timetable. I'm perfectly capable of doing my job, Ms Mayfair," I growled, turning away from her.

"Can we talk please?" she whispered.

"I don't see any need for us to do so, ma'am,"

"Well I do!" she shouted, I had pushed her and I was enjoying it, "I'm sorry y/n! I thought maybe you felt the same an-,"

"NO YOU DIDN'T! YOU KNOW I WILL NEVER MOVE ON BECAUSE WHENEVER I TRY, ALL I CAN THINK OF IS BILLIE!" I screamed, tears spilling down my face again. Ally leant forward to wipe them but I moved away.

"Don't," I hissed, glaring at her.

"Good look on your mission today," she said blankly, and left the room, closing the door behind her softly.

I stared at the door for a while and then opened my laptop.

"Good morning, Miss" Jinx greeted me.

"Morning Jinx," I yawned.

"I have accessed Wilhemina Venable's medical records,"

"You're the best, Jinx,"

"Well I was made by you, Miss. Would you like to know my findings?"

"Yes,"

"Her records were almost completely blank, meaning they're probably in another private file, but I did find that your target has thoracic scoliosis,"

"Is that all?"

"Yes, I'm sorry Miss,"

"That's OK, can you tell me more about the condition?"

"Thoracic scoliosis is caused in the upper part, or thoracic part of the spine. If the condition is severe, it can cause neurological issues, as well as cancers and muscle deformities,"

"Thanks Jinx, I have a meeting with the target today in two hours,"

"I would say good luck Miss, but I highly doubt you need it. Should I add these new findings to the Venable file?"

"Yes,"

I got in the shower and applied some light makeup, got dressed into a white suit and red blouse, with red stilhettos to top it off. I straightened my hair and put my phone, laptop, my arsenic and my pistol in a bag, hiding the arsenic and gun.

I grabbed my keys and left the room, passing Ms Mayfair on the stairs, but not talking to her.

I found the car straight away in the car park and started it up, witha loud engive sound.

"Good afternoon, Miss,"

"Hello, Jinx, I'll be driving this time around," I smirked.

"I expected nothing else, Miss,"

As I pulled into the car park, I noticed I was still early so, after thinking for a minute, I decided it would be best to keep my arsenic on hand, instead of in my bag. Every person employed by the governmant had to cary the poison at all times. It was only to be used on ourselves if we were caught. Everyone signed a suicide agreement, when they joined the services, that stated if we were intercepted by any third party, we were legally binded to kill ourselves, in order to protect all information. Although it was a grim policy, it was necessary.

Once the time was right, I entered the huge glass building, with my new identity of Lana Winters, looking to be Ms Venable's assistant. I was given an ID clip, and led up the stairs to a huge glass corridor, and at the end of the corridor, sat my target, typing away on a purple laptop, completely oblivious to her hunter's presence.
