City of fear ~ [Athena's crime story]

Chapter 1

,,I didn't kill him on purpose!" Ugh. Sometimes this job makes me rethink my whole life decision...

My Boss Mr. Emric, He is making this whole situation like hell. A few years ago I started to work as an Secret-assasin, and I really enjoyed working with Mr. Emric, but he just gets worse and worse every day.

So the mission I had last time, this weird man I had to watch for the whole night, was bringing me on my last nerve. So... I killed him? Well, ofc "without purpose" but I had to!
Anyways, Mr. Emric says that I could have kept him alive but that would've been just childish shit.
Back to that argument now.

,,I didn't kill him on purpose!"
Mr. Emric ofc didn't believe me but what could I do. ,,The last few missions were horrible Athena. Work harder, You'll need it for some time."

He always repeats the same bullshit, "You need that for some time" Bla bla bla. I am sick of beeing prepared for this one big thing! It'll be easier if he'd say for WHAT I need to work harder. But I think he doesn't get that.
We argued for the next 10 minutes until we got to the end were he left the room. That always means I get to go home.

As I walk along the streets of New York, I get a chat from my best friend. Myra, my sister in law, partner in crime, childhood bestfriend or whatever you wanna call it. We know each other since we're 9 years old, and we are very close.
I open the chat.

Myra: Hey Atths! I am standing infront of your apartment. Why the heck don't you open the door?

Me: just wait a second and look behind you.

I was waving to her from afar. As I finally come to her near, I quickly hugged her and opened the door with my keys. ,,What did you do outside? It's fucking late you should lay in bed or atleast make dinner" I laughed at her comment and just answered: ,,Myra you know I love to take late night walks right? And ofc I thought of you and ordered Sushi for us. What do you say?" She smiled and went to my living room.

I always come with the excuse of taking "late night walks" when I arrive home at night. As you should know no one can know about my job. All this Agent/Assasin stuff is secret and unknown for everyone. I am the only person who knows. So I have to be silent for the rest of my life. I guess.

We are in the livingroom now, eating Sushi and watching TV. At first I should tell you some stuff about Myra. She is Amazing, trust me. So she has Black hair and these amazing dark-Hazel eyes. She was born in Italy but moved with her parents to NewYork when she was 2 years old. We met at a Farm Yard when we were kids, since then I love her with my whole heart. We both don't really have much contact with our parents, but that doesn't matter because were 22 now. We live by our own since 3 years. At first we lived together in an apartment, but she found her boyfriend now so she moved in with him, I guess i'll be better alone.

Oh yeah her boyfriend, Malak. I hate him, he treats her so bad but she just doesn't see it. I gladly don't have a boyfriend, that would've been just a waste of time.

We finished with eating and I went to the bathroom to make myself ready for sleep, I looked in the mirror, watching my light brown hair falling down my shoulders. I brushed my theeth and washed my face. It's always a relieve to wash all the thoughts off. It's sometimes hard to work as an secret Agent, the Killing is the easy part. But the other stuff is usually breaking my brain apart.

I tucked my hair behind my ears while spitting out the water to rinse my teeth. After that I lay in my bed, next to Myra and check my phone. The time says 2:30am. I cover my eyes after the blue-ish light shines in my face. My Lockscreen on my phone is blue, I inspired it by my eye color. And after that, I finally fell asleep with a well feeling in my stomache, laying next to my best friend.
