After twenty minutes of doing nothing and waiting for my sister she finally walked down the cobbled steps.
"What's the assignment?" I asked
"Madam Valour has hired a new personal assistant. Louis has pulled some strings and she has hired me."
"So your basically gonna be with Madam Valour twenty four seven?" I asked.
"Yes and I have to get as much information I can and then assassinate her."
As soon as she said that my thoughts rushed to the worse place possible.
"But you could die," I cried "what if sh finds out? She'll kill you."
She sighed.
"Georgo, we risk our lives every day, this is no different."
My face felt like is was about to explode with stress.
"When do you leave?" I whispered.
Again she sighed and bit her lip.
"Now."
She pulled me in and hugged me. Marie was the last family I had. If something were to happen to her I wouldn't know what to do, I'd be lost.
"You can help me pack up."
I followed her to the quarter master.
"Ahh Marie what do ya need?"
"Hey MeMe." Marie said.
MeMe was our quarter master, she was definitely the craziest of the runners.
"What do ya need?! Big booms, small booms or maybe you want something that will be quite and can slice through people like a hot knife through butter!"
Marie giggled about as did I. MeMe was the clown of the runners. Everyone made fun of her but she didn't mind she thought it was funny to.
After Marie had got her disguise and her weapons she was off. She was walking down the hallway where a car was waiting. She turned around and gave me one last hug before turning around and before I knew it she was in the car and driving away.
