Adopted Assassin

Chapter 1

We drive for 4 more hours until I decide it's time for dinner. I gently shake Nora awake. We walk into a little mom and pop dinner. We pick a booth and both order club sandwiches. We begin to talk.

"How old are you?" She asks me.

"I am 24 years old. How old are you?" I question back.

"I am 9." She says.

After a moment of thought she asks, "Am I going to have to go to public school?"

"Hmmm, well it would interfere with your training and it's half way through the school year already. So no, unless you want to." I respond thoughtfully.

"I don't want to go." She responds.

"Then you don't have to," I tell her, "I can train you and teach you basic school things when I'm at home."

"Okay." She says happily.

We finish eating and ask for the check. I pay for our food and go to the car. We buckle in and begin to drive.

4.5 Hours Later

"Nora, it's time to wake up. We're almost there." I tell her shaking her awake.

I turn into the drive way of our house, well mansion really. Nora groggily rubs her eyes and sits up. Her eyes widen in shock.

"Is that where you live?" She asks incredulously.

"No, its where WE live." I state emphasizing the we.

"It's so big." She says in wonder.

"It has an indoor gym on the second floor with a swimming pool, an shooting range, training mats, and a basketball court. It also has 4 bedrooms with bathrooms attatched on the third floor with an office, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining room on that floor. But we have a main kitchen, living room, office, a tech room, a theater, and dining room we will be using more often on the first floor. In the back yard we have a track, a shooting range, a pool, and a patio. Your suite of rooms will be right next to mine." I explain as I park the car in the garage and we begin gathering our things.

I unlock the door and begin walking into the house.

"Why do you have so many cars?" She questions.

"So that I can blend in in any city I'm needed in." I explain.

We walk up to the third floor and I show Nora to her rooms.

"Whoa! Is this my room?" She asks astonished.

"Yes, it is yours. My room is the next door to the right. It's the last one in the hall." I inform her.

"What's that door to?" She asks pointing to the door on the right wall.

"It's the door that connects our rooms together." I explain.

"Okay." She says

"Look at that bed! It's so big!" She exclaimed

"Well it's time for bed, so we'll put your clothes away tomorrow." I say.

"Goodnight, Mari!" She says.

"Goodnight, Nora. We'll finish clothes shopping for you tomorrow." I tell her.

The Next Morning

"Nora it's time to go shopping." I say waking her up.

"Okay. I'll be down stairs in a few minutes." She responds.

I go to the first floor and begin to make pancakes. A few minutes later Nora comes down stairs. We eat breakfast, then put our dishes in the dish washer. We go to our rooms to get ready for the day. About 30 minutes later we go to the car and start driving to the mall. We spend 4 hours shopping for all the things she could possibly need and pack everything into the car. We begin to drive home when Nora mentions lunch. We stop by Groucho's to get food. We sit down and eat it, but then have to leave. We finish driving home and start to enter.
