I shouldered the sniper bag, and walked up the stairs. Checking my watch, I realised that I shouldn't have worried about being late- I had an hour spare now.
Aliona was standing at the top of the stairs, leaning on the banister. "Who are you going to kill this time?" she grinned.
"People." I said.
"Well, duh! Who?"
Jim had forbade me to tell anyone. I was going to kill yet another member of parliament.
I looked at my watch and faked surprise. "Gotta go." I said, grabbing my keys and butterfly knife.
"You can't just leave without telling me!" Aliona said, very similar to Morarty in her tone. Too similar.
"I can, and I will. I can't tell you, and I won't, even if you really want to know."
"Are you going to go kill the Kovalevs?" she asked, grinning.
"No." I said, trying to end the discussion.
"Then who?"
"Remind me, when does your school start again?" I asked, changing the subject entirely.
"Two days time."
"Thank god." I muttered. "Now I have to go." my spare hour was quickly disappearing.
I rushed out of the house, leaving an irate Aliona behind me, and took the motorbike out of the garage.

I arrived at the warehouse where Moriarty had based his new network, and quickly rushed inside, so as not to be seen. Seb and Jim were already in the office on the first floor, we had planned that already.
I walked as quietly as possible up the metal staircase, and paused on the gantry to watch one of our tech support men, Max Denbigh, hurry out of the tech office with Chris Maas, his co-worker, following close behind. What was up with him?
I could hear the sound of pistols being shot at metal, as JP, Mark and Holly all had a bit of extra target practice in the gun range room.
I turned, and walked into Jim's office.
"Woah!" I shouted. "Could you perhaps lock the door?"
Jim and Seb broke apart, Jim looking a little sheepish, and Seb looking a bit angry at me for interrupting them.
"You're early." Jim observed.
"Yeah... Aliona wanted to know who we were killing. It was stay and be interrogated, or leave and be early... You could have warned me to stay outside!"
"You shouldn't have needed warning!" Seb retorted.
"I'm sorry!" I replied sarcastically. "Perhaps you should lock the door if you're going to be snogging your boyfriend! Especially if you're going to do it at the place where we all work!"
"Just. Stop. Right now! Stop arguing, we have an assassination to plan!" Jim shouted at us. "We're just waiting for Mr Gregorovich now." he said, referring to the freelance sniper whom we often employed. Seb looked at me, and I could tell that he was still angry, but at that point, as if on cue, Gregorovich walked in, and we started to plan the assassination.
