Lily Yashima

Chapter Two: The Mission

8:15 pm

~Liam's POV~

"Hurry up! We're going to be late Lily!" I called from downstairs as Lily was getting prepared to go out for the mission. I was growing more concerned as the minutes passed by without a word, fearing that our boss would come any minute. Suddenly I heard some shuffling from her upstairs bedroom. I had a bad feeling about this, so I went up the stairs.

What I saw from the slight opening of her room was something trying to attack her. Suddenly I noticed her lying on the floor, with the killer over her body. I couldn't make out what the killer was saying but suddenly Lily attacked him from below. Hitting him right in the groan. The killer stood up and stepped aside trying not to wince in pain as she had appeared to hit him extremely hard.

Suddenly the killer looked at me. I froze not knowing what to do. Lily seemed to notice this and slammed the door shut hard in my face. I heard the killer slam into the door. That must have been a hard landing. I thought to myself as I stepped away from the door cautiously.

After about five more minutes I heard more shuffling and the door to her room opened, revealing that she had won the fight. Although she looked like she had fought extremely hard. "Here," I said, giving Lily a sedative to ease the pain. I noticed the cut on the arm and began to examine it. "It's just a scratch," Lily said trying to make me feel better.

"Okay," I said warily looking from her to the killer. "What do we do with him?" I asked her. "Him? Oh, just tie him up and we'll question him later," she said while casually looking over her shoulder.

So I went ahead to do what Lily said to do. Tie him. Once I was done with that, I went to check up on her. Finding her attending to her wounds. "You ready?" I asked her. "Yeah, just give me a minute," she replied, just as she was finishing what she started. "All right, let's go," she said once she was finished attending to the wound.

She got up off the chair she was sitting on and made her way to the door. "Oh here," I said giving her another pill pretending it was a sedative so she would take it. "I added a bit of cherry flavor since the original flavor was bad," I said informing her of some of the content.

"Oh okay," she replied. I guess she's feeling slightly drowsy already having taken two strong sedatives. "You might feel a little drowsy," I told her. All I got was a nod from her right before she passed out. "Good, now she won't resist when we take her to her birthday party. Now all we must do is dress her and get her to the party," I said aloud as I went to untie the intruder, Eyeless Jack. "Thanks for the help," Jack said to me sarcastically as soon as  I untied him. "Nice acting," I say right back.

~Lily's POV~

Ugh, why do I feel so tired? I thought as my mind became fuzzy. Suddenly the world around me started to spin, with Liam being the last person I saw. When I woke up, I was in a car, but my head still hurt. "Ow," I groaned as I noticed both the intruder from earlier and Liam were in the same car together along with me.

"Huh! What's going on?" I asked dazed and confused. "Oh, you're awake now," Liam said looking over to me in the mirror from behind the steering wheel. Thus, revealing the fact I'm in the back sitting next to the intruder from earlier. "Finally you're awake," This time I noticed the one speaking was the intruder, whom I finally got a good look at. "Jack?" I said confused.

"What are you doing with us? And what did you do to me?" I asked. "Oh, simple we're taking you with us. We're still going to do the mission, but first, we're taking you somewhere else," Jack explained.

"Yeah, we had to check something out. Bosses' orders," Liam said with a straight face. Liam's eyes stayed focused on the road. "How long was I out?" I asked. "About 20 minutes," Liam replied to me. "Oh, so what's the reason we must go somewhere else before we go on the mission," I asked them.
