Johnny looked up, he still could not believe that he fell – and literally fell - for the trap door under the rug trick. Out of all of his special missions and training he could not let a measly trap door ruin the mission.
It was as dark as the midnight sky in the room, so dark he could not even see his own hand in front of his face. Never mind his surroundings.
Suddenly there were creaking footsteps just outside a door that Johnny did not realise existed. The footsteps became louder and more frequent. He could count at least three people which did not comfort him seeming he was in a secret assassin organisation's base.
All of a sudden, the non-existent door slowly creaked open revealing three girls all with their hair tied back, and from what Johnny could see, they were heavily armed.
"Come right this way, Mr Miller, we don't have all day!" exclaimed the girl in front. She seemed familiar although Johnny could not put his finger on it (so to speak).
Johnny was still very dazed and could barely meet her icy blue eyes.
"H-How do you know my name? And more importantly who are you?"
"Oh, That's not important. Now come with us." the voice was clearer this time, more refined. Though the answer was on the tip of his tongue. He was sure he knew this girl even if she were an assassin who is a part of Sicarius - National Assassin Organisation.
The two girls on the side were now dragging him to his feet, what was he going to do? These girls were way too strong for even him to take down- not that he couldn't take down a few girls, but these girls were trained assassins. They were meant to 'sort out peoples' problems', to 'take out the trash', in simple non-violent terms.
He could see his surroundings clearer now, the white halls were just wide enough to fit four people walking side by side, but even though there was enough room in the hall the third girl was walking behind him as though she was trying to stay out of sight. Who was that girl
and where did he know her from?
They led him to a dark room- that makes two today, one more and he would have a new record! In the room, there was a long rectangular table and at the head was Lord Chase, an English lord who founded Sicarius. Johnny had only seen photos of this dark man but one thing was for sure, you do not want to mess with the one, the only, Lord Chase. Sadly, that was exactly what Johnny had to do.
The plan was meant to be simple: sneak in, distract the Lord whilst the undercover team snuck out, and then sneak out. Easy right. Too bad he got captured, though he could still accomplish step two.
"Welcome Johnny Miller. Sara, do you mind setting an extra place at the table. You'll be joining us for supper I suppose?" his voice was warm and kind in a way, how could he be a criminal.
Johnny really did not want to stay but he had to for the cause. - To be continued
