~NO ONE WAS SORRY TO SEE HIM DIE, EXCEPT FOR ME.~

The night was quiet, she was only surrounded by pitch black, and some moonlight. She felt the cold wind against her skin, but it never went further. She never let it. Elinor was strictly trained. She wouldn't let anything and anyone go under her skin. She had practiced so hard, that she could bear such rough things, that a normal person wouldn't even imagine, things she was trying to forget every single night.

She took some steps closer to the building. It was only two storage tall, or so. Its shadow rested a few inches in front of where her feet stood. She looked upwards, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and continued walking, making some fainted clicks to echo around, with her shoes. An old, wooden door stood now in front of her. It looked thin and easy to break.

After examining the door, Elinor decided to walk a little bit more, to her right, till she reached a window. She had to quietly, slip between the buildings' brick wall and some bushes, to get as close to the window as she needed. Light, in a not very powerful form, came from the inside. The window's wood was old too, faded and it had some scratches here and there. The glass was dirty, with mud and fingerprints, making it a little bit more difficult to look through the material and inside the house. She walked with her knees and her hands, to get there and now she was kneeling down, so that she wouldn't be seen.

Being noticed by the people inside the old house, could have blown up, not only her mission but every plan she and her co-workers had come up with. They have chosen only her for this mission, because she was never the one to disappoint, she was the best in her job. Her nickname 'Ms Shadows', known worldwide to the people who had a job relative to hers, for what she was capable to do, but her face always hidden in a dark peplum of mystery.

Slowly and cautiously, she raised her head, just a little bit, so that she would be able to look inside the house. The window in front of her, was used to light up the kitchen. The room looked abandoned, with only two, old fashion chairs standing at the sides of the table, which was pushed and attached to one of the creme and cracked walls of the room. A lamplight was placed on the table, spreading a weak light around. There were also a broken, dirty sink, cabinets and a counter. In the center of the room, stood nine men, in a circle, but only three of them seemed important. Each man had two bodyguards on his sides, all of them tall, masculine and dressed with black suits.

The man that Elinor was looking for, was, fortunately, in there, wearing a white V-neck, elastic shirt, which looked nice on his well defined upper body and had long sleeves, which were pulled up to his elbows, matched with dressy camel pants, in a very charming outlook. The man she was asked to spy on, was around 6'10 feet tall, masculine and owned a proud posture. He was young, to his latest twenties and his hair were black and longer than the average, short haircut, making the man look dark. He had a chiseled jawline and his famous eyes, where that cold, grey color, making him mysterious and for a lot of people scary. His surname, Costello, proof of his Italian roots, also known from each and every one living in this country the last few days, for the shivers it could cause.
