LETHAL: The Banshee Chronicles

Chapter 1: FLAME IN FROST

Chapter One: FLAME IN FROST

Time: 8:35 p.m.
Location: Vladivistok, Russia

Its a crisp cold night and Im on a mission, it deals with assassinating a drug lord named Roman Bugie who betrayed my father. For two years he was the one thats been stealing from my fathers riches and it seems that he has no cognizance that we knew about what he's been doing.

Its been hours and Im still on my speed boat, 15 kilometers away from where the drug transaction will be held.

Since then, I haven't seen any sign of him, he must have been in his mansion at Moscow all this time. I better get rid of him, but first I have to stop the event.

I dived into the icy cold ocean. Luckily, I know how to endure the coldness, My father trained me half-naked in freezing temperatures specially during winter seasons thats why I can resist such temperature. I swam to the yatch where the transaction was held. After I reached my destination, I aimed my grappling hook to the railing and shot it there. I climbed up bringing my weapons with me—two sub-machine guns, a magnum pistol, a dagger and some explosives for the special part.

Men were enjoying the event. Music was so loud—which I consider a bonus distraction— that you can't even hear their yells. Some were making out and having sex with prostitutes, while others are taking drugs and drinking hard liquor. Well they should party hard, cause it's going to be their last.

I finally stepped on the yatch, one man noticed and was about to grab me, but before he could touch me I held his arm, broke his elbow and made him lay on the floor feeling hopeless. Im tired of hearing him mumbling and complaining all words were jibberish and inadequate so a bullet to the head silenced him. I kinda felt pity on him yet he's not worth of my mercy.

A young woman ran towards me wide-eyed, how interesting, this woman must be this dead man's girlfriend, or so I thought. After she layed an eye on the dead man, she looked at me in fear, her body was shaking she was very nervous.

"What have you done with Master Mendev?! I will tell the others about this lady!" She said with a shaking voice.

Okay wait, master? This must be just a whore or slave.

"Okay so let me rephrase that, I'll give you a deal, either I let you escape here and be free or tell the others downstairs and have also a bullet in your head like your master. " I answered swiftly with a smile.

After that little conversation we brought up she made her choice and was about to run downstairs, so I did what I have to do. I took my gun and shot her right at her idiotic head.

I know that she was just trying to be loyal to her masters and all, but I just couldn't take this mission to be comprimised by a slave, well I already gave her freedom I guess she's just too dumb not to choose it.

I need to take the drugs and money first before I blow this place up, its also what I came here for, so one last look at the guys before checking the captains room just to make sure nobody's going upstairs well seems like they won't stop so off I go. I peeped at the window outside to check who's and what's inside the captains room, well shiver me timbers there it was the drugs and money that I need to rescue from this whore ship and there are five men standing by protecting el capitan and the treasures, I need to think of a tactic to terminate these people.

There seems to be an unlatched hatch above them, all doors and windows are shut so nobody will hear us inside, the men are quite scattered and the captain's very busy with the wheel. I got just the trick for this.

So without delay I went up the roof and barged in the hatch.

"Surprise!" I hollered as I went in.

Before they could pull their guns out I made it rain bullets inside the captains room, five men were lying on the floor dead after that. So where's the captain? Well I spared him and let him steer the yacht over to my speedboat.

"Okay we've arrived mister, now help me unload these treasures over to my speed boat quietly."

"Wha– who, what are you?" He asked

"An assassin, now do as I say"

"As long as you won't try to kill me, I swear I'll aid you." he answered

While we were busy unloading the goods from their yacht I was too busy to notice that a guy went upstairs and he saw me unloading some stuff.

"What is that? Who are you?!" He yelled.

I got startled and dropped some of what I was carrying. And when I saw him he looked familiar, well maybe because he's Marko Antonev—the right hand of my target—and he was intoxicated. So I have to step up the game and pretend I was one of their whore's, I unzipped my suit and showed my cleavage, I know, because drunk men love some teasing, specially the bad kind.

"Oh that doesn't matter, now that I'm very cold, would you like to warm me up?" I said to him seductively.

"Ah well come closer then." He answered.

And the dumb horny Marko pulled his pants off and when he stared back at me with a maniacle smile, he was expecting for me to have already knelt down ready to give him what he wants, but instead he saw a magnum aimed right at his damn forehead.

"Wait wha––" I didn't let him finish and shot him on the head.

"Uh my father would've laughed at that." I said, as I stare at his half naked body lying on the floor.

"Everything alright there?" The captain asked.

"Oh yeah, now would you mind doing what I told you to do?"

At last everything was ready, now to finish this task with what I love to do—blowing up stuff. Before I went up the deck I had to plant some C4 on every side of the yacht to make it explode and sink, but for the party men? Oh I got the perfect thing for them.

I grabbed all the grenades I could get and headed to the stairs, and started throwing it all inside—the party animals did not even see it coming. I went back up and locked the door and with every explosion I hear, its music to my ears.

I went to my speed boat with the captain and went off. About a kilometer away from the yacht I pressed the button that would trigger the C4's and boy did I enjoy watching it explode.

I tied up the captain at the back while I was steering the speed boat, I was consistent that he wouldn't escape but I was wrong.

He freed himself and grab hold one of my guns.

"Dont move assassin or you'll die!"

"Aren't you grateful I spared your life captain?"

"We'll I made up my mind and I'm taking all of these! You're too late! You should've killed me when you had the chance! Now you die!" He yelled.

"Yeah I should've, but I still have that chance." I murmured.

I ducked and kicked his hand leaving the weapon popping up above, and as his distracted face looked up to the gun I quickly grabbed his head, striked it down to my knee, pulled my dagger and pierced it at the back of his head and through his eye socket, then I threw him in the ocean, he was too unworthy for me to bury him.

As I docked my speed boat to shore, I know Roman's corporates will investigate, I could not let this be known, so I had to burn it to leave no traces behind.

Before I proceed to my main target I must hide these goods. I went to an abandoned warehouse near the city to hide the drugs and money.

I need to reload my guns, sharpen my dagger and prep up for my next encounter.

I know where he lives, I know what he does and what he did, I got all I need.

"Roman, you're next..."
