The Young Assassin

Chapter 3 The Next Assignment

I finally left her office and headed to the top floor of the building. I knocked on the door and opened it. The man I one saw 7 years ago was still in office and seemed to not age.
"Hello, Karla," he said politely.
"Hello, sir."
"I suppose you're here for your next assignment," he said looking at his computer.
"I am."
"Well the next one I think you'll be pleased to know is actually here, his name is Daren Corolla he's the-"
"CEO of a large company," I said.
"Yes, he's been having a lot of protesters lately and they've been causing a ruckus your next target is him, feel free to take as long as you want this one isn't on a time crunch like the last one, but I'd prefer either today or tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
"Here's a file on him, you know where the weapons are and how to get them, remember d-"
"Don't get caught, I know, I won't."
"Good if you do, you know what to do."
"Yes, sir, goodbye," I said and walked out the door with the file in hand.
I took the elevator to the basement and opened up the vault where the weapons were I'd tell you the code but you'd have to become one of us to know it. I grabbed a bag and stuffed a rifle, throwing knives, and a type of poison. I went over to the computer to check out the items so they know where they are and who has them, if you forget this part of checking the items out you could face a large fee because they really hate it when they don't know where their items go. I finished checking them out and closed the vault. I took the elevator back up the stairs and went home to make a plan.

When I got home I opened my basement, where there was a fridge and some old boxes I moved the empty boxes out of the way so I could get to the fridge I opened the fridge and moved all the moldy food out of the way where the back was. I flipped the switch and heard the clicking noise. The fridge rolled to the right revealing my secret room. Every assassin has one, your agency usually builds one for you and when you move out of the house if you move they uninstall everything and cement it all. I turned on the lights and pulled the fridge door shut with the indented pole handle on it. I set the file down on the table and started to work out a plan on the cork board.
"His office is on the top floor and a building beside it... Darn it I should've grabbed a hang glider! I could scale the building but that would draw too much attention. I think the best plan of action would to either be at the building beside him or storm his office, no too risky. So the best would to be on the building. I could get someone to have a plane and skydive to the building. That could work."
I pulled out my phone and dialed a guy's number.
"Hey, my name is Karla James otherwise known as Sharpshot or 16003 I need a favor."
"Oh, you're one of those people."
"What do you mean by that? You work for the agency!"
"I do, but I don't take lives."
"I do what I need to survive, you need to do your job."
"Fine what do you need?"
"I need a plan ride and a parachute I'm going skydiving today."
"When and where?"
"I'll meet you at the rooftop be there with a parachute, and you better not do anything to the parachute!"
"I won't lady."
"Good because I will drag you down with me."
"Sure."

I closed the entrance to my room and went to the building with everything. I took the elevator to the top floor and went up the flight of stairs to the rooftop. There he was with a helicopter and a parachute along with a driver because Lord knows he can't drive that thing. I got in the helicopter and told him where to go and he told the driver. We were finally over the building, a little lower than I expected.

"You better not have sabotaged this thing," I told him.
"I didn't."
"Good, because your life and mine depend on your integrity," I said and pulled him out with me. I quickly activated the parachute as soon as possible I knew I would probably float up a lot and hit a propeller if it was just me so I brought the guy along to add extra weight. Thankfully the dude didn't scream or sabotage the parachute, in the moment I think he was just too stunned to scream and react. I held in tight until we landed safely on the rooftop. I took off the parachute and let go of the guy.

"You are crazy you know that!?!"
"Yeah I've been told."
"What the heck!"
"Look I have my reasons but right now his office closes in like 30 minutes I need to do this fast and quick. So stop your whining and shut it," I said and reached into my bag I pulled out the rifle and loaded a single bullet in it I pulled up my hood and mask. No matter where you are how you're hiding you always have to keep identities a secret.
One shot would have to be enough I get one shot at this. I aimed it at the door waiting for it to be opened, I looked at the time and it was 25 minutes til his office closed. I waited 10 minutes when the door finally opened and 3 people stepped in, Daren Corolla and couple. I froze not knowing what to do.
"What are you doing? He's right there take your shot."
"Those are..." I started.
"Those are who?"
"They're, no it can't be!"
"Take your shot now!" he screamed in my ear.
"I can't without taking them all out, just taking Daren out and showing the other two I shot him, this isn't the best situation to be in."
"Just take them all out!"
"I can't."
"You have more bullets."
"Not that, do you know who those people are?"
"No."
