RAVEN & KALE
"Your target is of the royal family." a black and white photo is slid across the table. The photo was of a teenage girl.
"the royal family? I thought they were killed." the man handed me a file.
"Thats what we thought too. But aparently their daughter is still alive. But we cant have her taking over. Thats why we're sending you in." i open the file. Subjects name is Raven.
"When do i leave?" the man leans forward. His elbows in his desk. "immediatly. When you leave this building, a cab will be waiting to take you to the airport."
"How do you expect me to get close to her?" the man stands and walks around the desk to me. He's wearing an expensive looking brown suit. His hair buzzed extremly short. A larg scar crosses his nose and onto his right cheek. "We have taken care if that also. We got you a job as the new gardener." he places his hand heavy on my shoulder. "now. Your plane leaves in an hour. Dont fail me." he squeezes my shoulder.
CHAPTER ONE
The plane ride took 12 hours. But it was finaly over. Now i was standing outside the airport hailing a taxi. Its no suprise the chose me for this job. Im the best in the buisness. And im only 19. Ive never missed a target. Finaly a taxi pulls over. I put my bags in the trunk and tell the driver the address. "the royal mansion? What buisness do you have there?"
The driver looked at me in the rear view mirror. "im the new gardner." that awnser seemed to satisfy him because he never said another word. He droped me off at the front and drove away. I asended the steps to a very good sized front door. I knock and after a few second the doors creeks open. An older man looks back at me from inside. "Can i help you?" i smile at him.
"yes sir. My name is Kale. Im the new gardener." he noded and open the door motioning me inside. I step inside and look at a huge grandfather clock. As if it knew i was looking, the clock struck noon and chimed loudly. "My name is Sabastion. I will show you to your room." i follow behind him. "can i call you bash?"
He opens a door and looks back to me. "You can call me Sabastion. This is your room. The shed with all your tools is located outside. After you get settled you can go get a sandwhich from Ms. Betty in the kitchen and then you can get to work." he walks away and down the stairs.
I finish placing my clothes inside my new dresser and look around. My room is really nice. Bigger than my entire apartment. I have a walk in closet, my own bathroom with a huge shower. This is great. I shut the door behind me as i walk down to the kitchen. I walk in and theres a woman decorating a cake while humming a happy tune. "Ms. Betty?" she jumps startled at the sound of my voice. She drops her spatula and as it falls i snatch it out of the air. "my word young man! You scared the daylights out of me!" she takes back her spatula and sits it on the counter.
"im sorry ma'am. I was told by Sabastion to come down here for a sandwhich. Im terribly sorry." i help her move her cake to the table. She hands me a tray of lunch. "may i ask who you are?" i smile. "of course. Im sorry, my name is Kale. Im the new gardener." i hold out my hand and she smiles and bats it away. "i understand that your new here. But you'll learn that i dont shake hands." she grabes my shoulders and pulls me into a big tight hug. She laughs and releases me. "id be very glad to make you a sandwhich Master kale. But while i do, would you mind do me a big favor?"
"of course. What you need done?" she hands me a tray with some lunch food on it.
"take this tray of food up to Miss Raven. She is upstairs in her leasons. Top of the stairs, 3rd door on the right." i agree and begin my asend back up stairs. When i reach the door i knock. An older man with glasses lowered onto yhe tip of his nose holding a yard stick opens the door. "how dare you interupt us? What on earth do you want?" i motion to the tray.
