Assassins of the Nation

5

(Super short)

Guns. Guns everywhere. On the walls, on the tables.

Jolie turned around giving us a toothy grin. Balancing on her heels. "Well. What do you need in here?" She asked.

I looked at Lindsay. "Well. We were expecting computers.. more like internet security and all that" Lindsay said.

Jolie looked at us. The smile dropping from her face. Then reappearing.

"Haha! You guys! This is security. These bad boys" she said patting one of the matte black guns.

"C'mon... your not.. scared?" She said. Tracing the bullet cases. Her eyes looked practically into our souls.

"No. Your just nuts" Lindsay said. She pulled my sleeve.

"Yeah that's right! Run!" She said giggling. We turned around to see Jolie waving at us.

We ran out of the building. "Dude what the hell?!" I asked. We caught our breath.

"I don't know. But I do know we need to get the hell out of here. Tell Willis. Now." Lindsay said. We went back into the car.

I turned over the ignition. The tires screeched as they got out of the parking space. I got my phone out, calling Willis.

"Yes? How'd it go Elliot?" He asked.

"Horrible, creepy" I said. One hand on the steering wheel getting out of New York traffic.

"What do you mean horrible?" He asked. Genuinely worried.

"They got your call. They sent a teller by the name Jolie, she brought us to security. Lindsay and I were expecting computers and monitors and all that. No. Guns. Big guns. Pinned on the wall like a deer head in the home of a hunter" I said.

"That's not even the weirdest part... she was creepy. She would trace the guns with her finger, and her creepy laugh. Asking if we were scared" I said.

"She also gave a creepy stare" Lindsay chimed in.

"Give the phone to Lindsay please Elliot" Willis said.

"We don't know what to do" Lindsay said. Having on hand on her cheek.

"I know what to do. Get to the station. Now." Willis said.

The moment Lindsay hung up, a crack of lightning spread through the sky like water colors on a canvas.

We raced to the station. It started to pour. I grabbed Lindsay's hand, as we ran to the station doors. We dried our shoes on the mat and went into Willis' office.

"Hey guys" he said. He closed his journal and told us to take a seat.

"Okay so our security team and I have came up with a plan to see what we can do about this whole assassination issue" he said.

He dialed his phone. In a minute flat, people from security flooded in.

"Here's the plan you guys" Willis said. Everyone sat by his desk.

"We are gonna bug the place. And you guys will wear wires. I have another agent ready for the case. Sound good?" He said. I looked at Lindsay. She nodded her head.

"Lets catch these bastards" she said.
