Alter Egos - The Rival Ego

Chapter 5- The Beginning of the End?

Shadow's POV:

I sit at my desk waiting for all the egos to return and with the good news that they have each killed their targets as planned. If their plan didn't go to plan it meant a bit more paperwork for them to explain the mission. So far. No one has had to do that. Well. I have now after The Twat wasn't the way I was expecting him to be.

The first through my office door is Neko Thief.

"How did it go?!" I ask politley.

"How did it go? More like how did it not go!" She replied in anger.

"What happened?" I ask.

"What happened was that when I got there. There was no one to kill they were already dead! Did you give her file to any of the others?" She stated then questioned.

"No. Each one of you were assigned different targets. I will show you." I say back then turning my computer screen towards her so that she could see all of the targets for the night.

"Well then who killed my target? What if one of the others got wind of it and got greedy?" Neko said back.

"No. None of them would have done that." I respond.

"Well I want an investigation on what has happened. Or else!" Neko stated commandingly.

"Or else what? Neko. You do know that I have the upper hand and i wouldn't do anything to hurt any of you guys. I know you all need money to live. Why do you think I put separate targets for all of you?!" I respond now very irritated.

Then at that moment. Blizzard walked through the door very angry.

"Who the fuck did you give my file to?!" She asked angrily.

"NO ONE!" I shout back, "All of you had different files. Why what happened?"

"I got there and Ollie Gamen was already dead on the floor! So I want to know who stole my kill!" Blizzard now confused continued to ask.

"Well I don't know. Neko has had her kill stolen as well so its not just you! I don't know what is going on. But I will launch an investigation. And I will find out wh-" I get interrupted by my door opening again. This time it was Chara.

"My target wasn't much of a target!" She stated.

"Please tell me this means you killed them and they were just really easy!" I say now under stress.

"Uh. No. My target was already dead. And I want to know why. How and when. I have a thought that one of the others had nicked it because the way it was done was very professional. So what are you going to do ab-" I then cut her off.

"I will tell you know Chara. None of the others have stolen your target. Blizzard and Neko have both had the same problem. But I will launch an investigation because it not only effects you but also this company." I say with great concern.

Then my door opens again. I sure hope it's Ghost to help me restore order in here. But nope. It's the White Wolf. She looked angry. I can only guess why.

"Which one of you idiots was it that thought it would be nice to kill the target set for me then eh? I planned all of that to find out that one of you lot had the same target or thought it would be funny to be a clown!" She shouted straight at the other egos, "Shadow I want something done about this. This is like treason. One of these is a clown and you know, I know and they know it!"

"Wolf! Calm the fuck down. None of them stole your target. They have encountered the same thing as you. All four targets have already been killed when you got there. This must mean something bad. Almost as if someone else has set up an assassination company. But we are the only ones that have that trait. We are the ones that decode who can be an assassin if they want to be one. And how have they managed to get wind of our files. Because this was no coincidence that they manage to kill four of our targets. No way. All of you will be subject to tests though as this is serious. It's not that I don't trust you its the fact that what happened to me. If you are somehow controlled in some weird way we need to find out." I explain.

"But it's not hard to work out that Wolf is the biggest candidate. She was the last one back! Meaning that she might of had time to kill our targets and her own." Blizzard suggested.

"Hang on what about Neko. She was back first from what I can gather. Maybe she left early and killed our targets before her own then got back here first!" The White Wolf suggested.

All four of them started to argue with each other about who was responsible for the deaths of their targets. God this was giving me a headache. I already know that none of them have done anything. I can tell by the way they are. But I don't know what could of happened whether there is a rival or wh-. My door opened again.

It was Ghost. But something was wrong. She had that look on her face. That look of fear. Frightened. And alone. I need to see of she is ok.

"RIGHT. ALL OF YOU! Bar Ghost. GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE AND DISCUSS IT ELSEWHERE. I WILL LOOK INTO IT BUT I AM GETTING PISSED OF ABOUT YOU LOT ARGUING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU AND GOODBYE!" I shout at the top of my voice.

They all look then leave. I then turn to Ghost who was how starting to shed some tears.
