Tears in your Eyes

Part IV

“Well, well, well. Look who’s with us. The mighty cubs of the invincible Black Star. Thank you so much for gracing us with your presence.” Cub6052 rose from the table he’s leaning at, smirking haughtily, as Seunghyun and Sulli entered the Gem’s study.

“Changmin,” Grim Onix warned, though his voice doesn’t really sound reprimanding. He looks more like he approves of what his cub is doing.

“Sorry, Jae hyung.” He said, not sounding sorry at all.

“Hottiiieee!” Sapphire beamed and hugged the surprised Seunghyun. Sulli trying to stiffle her laugh as she watch her Oppa stand stiffly.

“Yah, Bommie. Stop harrassing the cub, really! Do I have to say this every time he goes to see us?” Jaejoong snapped, exasperated.

“Shut up, Onix. I don’t need your power tripping. Just because Black Star isn’t here, you act like you’re the master of the house.” She snorted, her arms still clinging around Seunghyun’s neck, who stayed unmoving. “So have you eaten?” She purred, playing with his soft locks.

“No, not yet, Ma’am.” He answered politely.

“Awwww, poor you. Come, I think we still have some food over at the pantry.” She dragged him towards the adjoining room in search of food.

Sulli opted to follow them, but decided not to since Sapphire would probably eat her alive if she’d do that. She saw Bom’s cub sitting quietly by the coffee table. Sulli assessed her for a minute. She’s the quiet one over at the panther’s. But the girl got really high level skills. Her emotionless stare does not unnerve her though. She’s used to it ever since landing herself to the company of Seunghyun and Black Star.

She isn’t complaining. She’s really thankful that Black Star’s her trainer. It was a very uplifting and exciting experience to be at the presence of the infamous top assassin.

“Hi!” She greeted the girl. The cub just curtly nodded at her and went back to drinking her coffee. “I’m Sulli!”

She nodded again. “CL.”

“Oooh, cool name!”

“Thanks.”

“Black Star said we’d be working as a team! I am so excited!”

The girl gave her a rare smile which she returned with her own bright one. “Yeah. I am too. Sapphire has been spitting fire on my neck every single day. She’s as excited as we are. Seriously, she’s like a kid herself.”

“Really? Wow. I thought she’s just excited to see Oppa.” Sulli giggled.

CL laughed. “Well, I think that too.”

“Gather around.” Grim Onix commanded. They went towards the round study table and they saw a detailed map of a building. “This is one of theSamsungTowers. Samsung F. Our targets reside on different floors but there will be a banquet on the 36th floor.” He pointed at the area.

“Our targets are elite businessmen.” Forgotten Sapphire, whom Sulli didn’t realize is already with them.

“Why are we assassinating them? And how many are they specifically?” Seunghyun asked.

“Tombstones never asks for a reason. We are being paid to kill and that and only that is what we’re going to do. No questions asked. Just Kill.” Jaejoong’s cold voice sent shivers down Sulli’s spine.

“There are three targets we have to lead out of the banquet. And that, girls, is our mission. Do you see these rooms here?” Sapphire’s eyes are on them but her fingers pointed towards the marked rooms. “We are to lead them here where Onix and his cub and you my dearest hottie wait to kill.”

“Changmin and You, cub6042 are assigned here in the last room near the exit. Sapphire and cub6048 here. And you pretty cub6037 and I here the nearest room in the banquet.”

They all nodded.

“Here, put these contact lenses on. This will provide us the virtual maps of the building. Dead Heart also gave us these tiny chips and earbuds to communicate. Please do keep in mind that this is more difficult than what we have asked you to handle these past weeks. Although this is going to be an easy kill for Sapphire and me, you cubs better put all you have in this mission. If we’re able to finish this task without delay then off you go to handle class B and C missions.”
