Charlie Gale's POV

*Creak*

He snapped his head in the direction of the sound,frantically searching for any signs of life.

He reeked of fear and anxiety rolled off him in waves.I kept my pace and followed the dark silhouette of the target.

Rule one : Never go in alone .
I learnt that the hard way , a rookie mistake.

"Any time now , Zach " I whispered impatiently into the mouth piece . Zach better be quick this time, Lord knows what we would do if we had another "Charlie situation "also know as mass assassination.

"Do not make contact with the target . I repeat do not make contact with the target!!!" yelled zach into my earpiece .

" Woah dude!! The ears " I whisper-yelled .

"Char, his got-" he got cut off . Both my mouth and ear piece had lost thier battery life . Dammit Zach! Why do you always forget to charge these damn things ?!

I guess I'm going to have to go in alone.So much for the first rule.

I grabbed my mask and secured it tightly around my head to avoid revealing my identity .The black raven feathers camouflaged perfectly with the shadows in which I lurked . I swung on my leather jacket as I stalked behind my prey ,With my precise calculations and excellent aim I was bound to to hit the bulls eye.

I zoomed in on the target and aimed for a head shot , an instant death ,- fast and painful. I took in three breathes each time preparing myself for the kill. This is it ...

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little girl drenched in blood. She could have been at least 5 years old. Too young to be involved in this type of life if you ask me....
but that's none of my business.

Returning back into position, I layed my hand gently on the trigger, just a slight movement and he is gone. My eyes flickered between the girl and my target ,the inner conflict I was having with myself could close the time lapse I had to kill the man .

I had to act fast.

Sighing I layed down my gun,grabbed my daggers and headed into what I like to call 'The Danger Zone' .

I strolled out of the shadows of the room drawing the attention of roughly 20 men. They were all masked with the stench of ciggerrettes and were decorated in a variety of tatoos. So he's not alone after all .All eyes were on me. Fear was evident in their eyes and from that I knew I had already won this round .

Round One - Raven

"W-why " he (my target) stuttered and then cleared his throat " are you here ?"

I smirked,he knows who I am.

"Business...." I said feigning innocence as I twirled the daggers on my fingers.

I glanced at the little girl,she was losing consciousness quickly .

My target seemed to have noticed my concern towards the girl and took this as an advantage. I looked at him questionably.

"Lacy." The man answered."Her name is Lacy . I caught her trying to steal something of great value that belongs to me"

"So you tried to kill her?"I asked in disbelief.

He grinned mischievously "But that my dear Raven is what I do "

~lights flicker~ One

The lights flickered and I smirked knowingly as I glanced at the lightbulb.

My gaze returned to the man infront of me.
