*****UNEDITED*****
My alarm rung at 9 AM. "Ugh shut up!" I groan, turning the annoying device off.
I rub my eyes and stretch my arms before heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a quick shower.
Cooking is not my specialty so I bought my rifle, a small pistol and spare bullets in a black duffle bag before heading to my local coffee shop.
"Hello, I'll have a medium caramel latte and a walnut muffin please," I said to the girl behind the counter.
She nods and quickly pours coffee in a brown paper cup along with some milk and cream. Finally she drizzles some caramel on the drink and put on the cap. She takes a muffin from the shelf and hands it to me. "That would be $4.50 please," she smiles and I give her a five dollar bill.
"Keep the change," I said, heading towards the door.
"Thanks! Have a nice day!" I heard behind me.
I hate carrying coins, they take up too much space and too heavy for my pockets. I sip on my drink and take a bite from my muffin before driving to Paradiso Hotel.
The drive was quick since it was near the edge of town, close to where I live.
I parked my car in the parking lot and quickly took the elevator to the 9th floor.
"921, 922, 923, 924," I mumble to myself. "Ah, here we go, 925." I pulled back my hair behind my ear and adjusted my jacket before ringing the doorbell three times.
The door opened and I can see Master Cross sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. Some sat on the edge of the bed, and others sat at the table, drinking coffee. Most of them were commanders or skilled shooters working under them. I walked in the room with my duffle bag and plop down next to Aiden.
"Morning, äss," I said, getting his attention off his phone.
"Oh, morning Auddie," he smirks.
I gently slap his back. "Stop calling me that!"
He chuckles before returning to his texting.
"Alright, can I have your attention everyone." Everyone turns to Master Cross.
He clears his throat and starts. "I have been notified that there could possibly be another organization that's like us, working to eliminate assassins from Death."
If he is talking about the case with Harry and my failed mission, then either Master Cross got the wrong info or Harry lied... since Harry said he doesn't work for anyone.
"They don't call themselves anything, but I found out their leader is a man named Harry Styles."
Wait, what the actual fück?
"He's the son of a former member in PhoeNIX, Des Styles. If anyone remembers him, he's the man that betrayed us, the man that gave out information about us. When we found out, we have him kicked and an assassin from Death killed him because he isn't useful to them anymore."
I gasp. So this is the real story, but if his father betrayed us, then Harry can't be my ally either.
"That's why Harry Styles wants revenge on Death, by creating his own organization, but he's also plotting a revenge on us because he's going to try to get the dangerous weapon himself, the dangerous nuclear bomb that we hold."
No way. I sudden feel so disgusted about our encounter from yesterday.
"We must not trust them or believe they're on our side because they have other intentions." Master Cross stopped and pulled out a picture of a house. "I've located their base, which is Harry Styles' mansion. We will arrive there at once and take all data from their computers. Kill all that stops us. Understand?"
"Yes, master," some people shouted. I remained quiet, somehow disagreeing with the plan but I have no choice but to follow my orders.
We all head to our own cars to drive to the mansion. It took approximately 35 minutes to drive there. We parked our smaller cars 2 blocks away while people with bigger vehicles drive straight up to the mansion, so we have something to hide behind if they shoot at us.
I unzipped my bag, strapped my rifle on my back, and put my pistol and spare bullets in my jacket pocket. I run up next to Aiden as we head up to Harry Styles' mansion.
