It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

That went off too soon

And I miss you in the June gloom, too

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I'd never miss you

But I guess you never know

May the bridges I have burned light my way back home

On the fourth of July!

It feels so pleasant to be on a vacation. I mean, who wouldn't? Just thrilling to have a break after all. Being an assassin it's not an easy task. Task? What am I even saying! It's a freaking job! Do you want to know what I am currently doing? Of course not killing people, what a filthy mind! I do that Mondays and Wednesdays, it's currently Saturday. So that means I am on a break, also I am glad nobody had call me for a mission on Monday. My neighbors complain a lot about my loud music but even though I always play it because I don't give a damn.

RING!

So there goes my Monday ladies and gentleman. Anyway I need to answer that call because it may be important. Give me second please.

"Hello?" I said my Australian accent remarking neatly on the line.

"I am pursuing for the Vulture." Well kids that's my call.

"You are surely talking to her." My voice became hoarse because I can't actually talk to a client like that. No, no, no that's certainly not polite.

"I have a task for you."

"Depends, first I need to know who are you then I can help you." By this moment I am actually tracing him or her because my priority is to know who I am talking to. Besides didn't your parents ever tell you to NEVER talk to strangers?

"Why should I tell you isn't there a policy not to tell assassins who you are?" BINGO! I got it! Not easy to crack obviously but I managed, I have an IQ of 204 is that enough to crack something? I hope it is.

"Don't mind Dr. Doom it doesn't it doesn't matter now." I swear I could see his fuming face throughout the phone. Well should I say piece of metal?

"How did you-"I interrupted him just to annoy him.

"Remember who are you talking too Dr. Doom."

"I need you to kill someone." NO way! Huh, why would he call me? Well I am in the robbery business too so why not?

"Well depends whose life I am taking here."

"I am sending you a picture through here." Ding! My IPhone 6 beeped. Hmm, I'veseen him before let me just Google him. There you go Jonathan Storm is now on my killing list.

"Playboy, huh? Why him? Did he bang your sister or something?"

"I don't have a sister you airhead!"

"Hey! Watch your tongue Mr. Green!" Who the hell does thinks he is?

"Watch your mouth Vulture, this job won't be easy because he is mostly surrounded by The Fantastic Idiots. You are going to enter in a way that they never will recognize you."

"Care to explain?"

"You are going to make him fall for you and in his deepest moments you're using your Five Flames." How does he know about that? No one knows besides me!

"Who told you?! And why do you even want him dead?"

"Don't get your feathers spiked up Vulture you know what you have to do."

"Two more question."

"Bring it."

"Why should I use that amount of power to kill him and how are you going to pay me?"

"Because that's the only thing that can kill him, and make sure when the moment comes everyone including his lovely sister sees him die. By then there will be 10 million dollar on your bank account and yes I know precisely where I have to pay" Then the line went dead. Well I least I have something to do on Monday. Making a playboy fall in love won't be easy let me tell you but it will be worth to try it.

"Hi what can I get you?" the Starbucks bartender by the name of Melvin asked.

"Hello Melvin can get a Raspberry Cheesecake Latte please."

"Sure thing. "You might be asking yourself what you are going to do to get in a conversation with Johnny Storm. Well let's just say that in exactly a minute I am going to bump into him 'accidentally' spill all my latte on him.

"It's 4.50."

"Thank you Melvin." I said as handed him a ten dollar bill.

"Keep the change please." I said grabbed my drink from the counter and went straight to the door.

"Hey watch out where you are going!" The flame head told me as I 'accidentally' spilled my coffee on his let me see I think Gucci jacket?

"I am so sorry! Let me help you!" I said cleaning his jacket.

"No, never mind it was an accident after all." He said giving me a small smile. Hmm... Then he saw my face that then it went down to my whole body.

"Have we meet before? My name is Johnny, Johnny Storm." He said with a smug smirk in his lips.

"Violet Maxwell, pleasure to meet you.'' I said with a sweet smile.

"So since your coffee got spilled on my Gucci jacket, mind joining me for a drink?" he asked.

"Sure thing Johnny." I smiled.

This will be so much fun.
