Chapter 3

So save it, get gone, shut up...

Liz moved her stare away from the window and looked down the train compartement.

Cause if you think, I care about you know...

She mouthed the next lyrics, while searching the ceiling for the electric scoreboard. And turned down the Volume when she saw the next stop was, where she needed to get out.

Well boy I don't give a fuck.

Even though she kept her headphones on, she turned off her phone and cut off dua lipa mid sentence. Only about five hours ago she changed into jeans and T-shirt at the central station and kept her blood stained clothes in her backpack, wich was also keeping her wallet, keys and ID, wich probably was fake, but she needed to change it anyway in the next days.

Once the train stopped , she quickly grabbed her back pack, got off and walked slowly to the parking lot outside. After a minute of standing there and scanning every car that drove by, finally a black mercedes with darkened window glasses pulled into the parking lot. She narrowed her eyes to spot a blonde girl behind the steering wheel, who was wearing a black jacket and tied her hair up in a bun after the car stopped, not even casting a glance at her.

Without hesitation, Liz walked over to the car and ripped the door of the passenger seat open.

„Long time no see, sis."

„Shut up and get in.", The other one replied with a small smirk.

Liz grinned and hoped into her seat, „ I missed you to.", she declared before throwing her backpack in the backseat.

Right after Liz closed the car door, the, to her surprise, green eyed girl next to her drove off and took a few turns before finally getting on the main road. Both of them did't say a word, but Liz used the time to take a closer look at Crystal. Crystal was her older sister, or that's what Liz used to call her. In reality they were really close friends, even though Liz was a few years younger than her and tried to kill her best friend the first time they met. But that's a different story.

She hadn't seen her since about a year, but on the first look she hadn't changed much. She was wearing mostly black except for her white blouse she was wearing under her leather jacket and while they were sitting, crys was still a bit taller than her. The car was new tho, it was bigger than her old one and looked perfectly new except for the empty starbucks cup in the middle console.

„So what are you doing here?", the older one broke the silence and briefly glanced over at her, before focusing back on the road.

„Well, „ Liz answered, „You kinda told me to come here. I mean sure Washington DC is cool, but-"

„No." the other one interrupted her, „ I mean here in america. Weren't you supposed to be studying in germany at the moment?"

A bit confused by crystals tone Liz answered hesitating: „You can see it as an exchange year. Many people from my semester went to study abroad this year and I thougt new york couldn't be that bad."

„And? was it not that bad?" her friend answered. Liz opened her mouth to respond something that would prove her point, but was cut off by crystal.

„What is in your backpack? I smell blood."

That question hit her back to reality. She was used to forget about events like this and store them far back in her head, but something in crystals expression made her think, that she might already know wht happened and what was in her bag.

„Right. First of all that blood isn't old enough for you to smell it and second I know you know something. So spill the tea." She crossed her arms before her chest and resolutely looked at her.

Crystal sighed and took a left turn before finally speaking.

„All I know is, that shield was informed of two mysterious people, that have kidnapped or killed six of our former agents. Because one of them was regnorized for using bow and arrows, they were upgraded to a blue type Level threat and so...", She stopped at a red light and turned to her., „I and a few other people were recruited to go after them next week." The traffic light changed to green and she drove off again taking her look of Liz, who was shifting her weight suddenly a bit uncomfortable in her seat.

„Well I guess we don't have to worry about that guy anymore..."

„What why?"

„I killed him."
