Promise - Kate Bishop

1.2 - Breaking and Entering

Kate ran and jumped grabbing onto the top of a fence and tried to pull herself over. Jasin quickly pushed her up and over from the ground, then took a few steps back and cleared the jump a lot more gracefully. Kate only glared, but couldn't hide her confusion and interest.

"How did she clear that so easily?" Kate thought, "It almost looks like it's been practiced, or done multiple times before."

Kate took off, Jasin following behind. The leader found a window and pried it open, trying once again, to pull herself through. Jasin just pushed her and jumped through, just as graceful and silent as when she cleared the fence.

"Rude," Kate huffed angrily, while Jasin made a 'shh' motion with her finger. Kate begrudgingly obliged. Kate stood up, and they both started quietly walking through the house they just snuck into. They entered a different room, Kate taking the lead once again as she led them through a different door and down stairs.

"Monogrammed butterscotch?" Kate whispered, holding one of the candies, which she soon put down.

They walked around again, and just as they were about to enter another room, Jasin caught Kate's wrist and pulled her back slightly.

"What?" The dark haired female questioned quietly.

"I smell blood." Jasin answered, both girls sharing a look before Jasin took the lead this time.

Entering the room a bit more, both girls stopped and looked at the body sprawled on the floor. The only thing Jasin could hear was Kate's heart beat.

"She must know him." Jasin thought, watching her take a knee besides the body and roll him a bit to get a clearer look at his face.

"Armand? Oh god.." Kate whispered, voice cracking.

As Jasin was about to reach out and try to provide comfort, the click of a key and a door opening alerted them both. Jasin moved quickly, scooping up Kate and moving her through and out of the room swiftly.

"Mr. Duquesne? I have your dry cleaning, and I brought dinner." Jasin heard a female say. There was silence and footsteps. She heard the all too familiar scream of terror fill the room as Kate and Jasin made their exit.
