The Mission

Fifteen

I took a deep breath. "Ill pass her a note saying to meet me behind the school at x time. Itll be easy because she loves to torture me. And Im sure shes going to have a blast coming at me because she just loveeees confrontations,"

"Where do we come in,"

"Ill lure her to meet me behind the school. Either you can sedate her there or I can slip something into her lunch which may be hard. So lets go with the first one. Once shes out we will bring her to my house. Preferably my garage as I dont want to get any of my furniture bloody,"

"Then what?" demetri asked.

"Ill have my fun with her. Ill leave her alive though I know how to treat wounds so I can easily do that till we get her back to Italy," I said.

"But what are you going to do to her,"

"I have my ideas," I said. "But first let me do a little shopping, even though using dull knives may be fun but itll be sloppy,"

"What do you need to shop for?" Felix asked confused.

I looked at him as if he was serious. "Knives... daggers... what did you think?" I said bluntly.

"Do you even know where to buy them?"

"Theres not many hunting stores. I dont know what you want to call them in New York so I will have to research stores as we may have to travel to get there," I said and grabbed my phone and began to look up knives. "Theres a store about 45 minute drive from here." i said.

"I can make it in 15," Felix chuckled.

"Huh?"

"Driving the speed limit is no fun." Felix said.

"How do you suppose we go?" I asked.

"Speed duh," Felix said.

I shook my head "whatever," I paused "As long as we get there" I said.

"Let me do my research for a few minutes, figure out what types of sharps I need for my job," I said.

"Okay," Felix said.

"The store opens at noon. Ill let you know when I am ready to leave," I said.

I grabbed my laptop and searched Best Hunting Knives and a multitude of things popped up in the search engine. I clicked on a website and looked at them. "This looks interesting" I said looking at one of them. Benchmade saddle mountain skinner fixed blade knife I looked at the description. "This could work," I said and continued to scroll. Another caught my eye. It was a woodsman knife which I really don't know what that is, but it also looked like it could do the job. There were a few bone saws on the list. I considered it. I wouldn't hurt cutting off a finger or two.

Felix looked over my shoulder to see what I was looking at. "What do you need a bone saw for?" Felix asked.

"I don't, well I was considering taking a finger or two. That could be fine, but I think it may be a bit too messy. I could cut off her tongue so she can never speak again, that could be fun too. I may need help with that one. I'd probably use some sort of hunting scissors if that is a thing. Kitchen scissors won't cut it. Literally. Keeping her silent forever," I paused. "What do you think about that Felix? Cut her tongue out, or no?"

"Well, she wouldn't be able to speak or even argue again, it will make it easy for us. I think it's doable." Felix said.

"How hard is it to cut someone's tongue off?" I asked.

"Never done it have no idea,"

"Well google is gonna think I'm a serial killer but oh well,"

"I wouldn't google that," he said.

"True. Very true," I said but googled it anyway. There weren't many direct answers. A few searches on reddit but it didn't give any answers as well. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to find this answer on my own," I closed my laptop.

"Okay I'm ready," I said, and I grabbed my wallet and purse. I handed Felix my keys and got into the car.

It was a silent car ride. I didn't know what to say can clearly Felix didn't either. But he was right. 15 minutes later we were there. "I'll come in with you?" He asked. "What are we going to say?" He asked.

"Just follow my lead," I said.

We both walked into the store. "Welcome in," A female said.

"Hello," I said slightly shyly then I looked around immediately looking for what I saw online. I found the two knives and went to the table. "Hello, I need some help grabbing something out of the case,"

"Of course, doll," she said having a southern accent. "Planning a hunting trip?" She asked.

"Yes, me and my friend are going hunting this weekend. We have most of the stuff at home but when my dad left me and my mom, he took all the knives," I said.

She nodded.

"Well hopefully we have what you're looking for," she said.

"Yes, you do," I smiled slightly going over to the glass cabinet that had the knives we were looking for.

"Which one doll?" She asked.

"This... and this..." I said pointing at the two.

"Lovely choice. Thats one of our best sellers here. You're in luck this is the last of our stock here," she said.

"Good, good," I said.

"Is there anything else you're looking for. Guns?"

"No this is it," I said.

She took the two knives and headed to the counter. She rung them up. God damn who knew knives were so expensive.

"250$ doll," she said.

Felix looked thoroughly annoyed with the worker.

I nudged him to knock it off.

I handed her my card as we checked out.

"Yall have a good day," she said as we left the building.

I headed to the car with Felix. "God she was annoying," he muttered.

"For helping us out? It's called customer service," I said.

"Still annoying. No need to call us doll," he said.

"She was just being polite," I rolled my eyes. "Let's go," I said. "We still need to get my house set up. Shit I don't have any tarps are anything!" I said.

"Where do we get those at?" He asked.

"Figuring it out," I said.

"How do I even ask?" I muttered to myself.

"I'll be right back... ill see if they have any here," I said and got out of the car.

I headed back into the store.

"Oh, welcome back. Did you forget something?" The lady asked.

"This is just a long shot; do you have a clear tarp type thing?" I asked not sure what to call it.

"Oh yes," she said leading me back to a section. "How big?"

"Ehhh um the largest," I said.

She handed me a box. "Here," she said, and I headed to check out.

I paid and headed to the car. "Got everything," I said. "Let's go,"
