Aria's pov;
I only had two days left with Harry and every day that passed, made my heart weaker and more helpless. I made sure all of our days together would be good, even though it will confuse him when I ask him to break up. I was scared of what I had to do when my time ended. What would Stone make me do? Will I make any friends there? God, no, they're all monsters, I shouldn't make any friends.
As I walked into my apartment, my phone rang. Stone. I made sure to close my window, in case Harry is in his apartment and hears anything. I don't need that to happen.
"What?" I asked him, annoyance clearly obvious in my tone.
"You're so happy to hear me" Josh said.
"Yeah, clearly. What do you want?" I asked him.
"I want something from you" He said. "Your first task"
"I thought my first task was coming after my time ends" I said.
"Change of plans. You'll need to keep up with sudden changes if you want to be good at what you do" He said.
"Just tell me so I can be over with it" I said, sighing.
"There's a bug right outside your door, under your mat. I had someone put it there so you could find it. I want you to adjust it on your clothes and go over to Harry. Talk to him about Emily. Ask him questions about her, get the best information you can from him. I want to know if he's still vulnerable when it comes to her" He said.
My eyes widened and coughed. "What? I can't do that, he's going to be crushed. He will probably tell me, but he will feel awful after" I said.
"You need to do it. It's important. It gives you a motive to break up, think of it. He will think you don't feel important or as loved as her" He said.
He's fucking smart, because that's exactly what I think when he talks about her. I will never be like her and Harry will never feel as much as he felt for her, for me. "Fine. I'll do it"
"Get it done before midnight" He said.
"Yes, Josh, whatever you say. I will" I said.
"In two days, I'll introduce you to the rest of the team, you will love them. You'll see your new house as well. You're not moving out, you'll just have to sleep and eat there" He said.
"Great to know I'll probably be poisoned or killed in my sleep, thanks" I said.
"I told you, you're valuable, we're not killing you" He said.
"Sure. Need anything else?" I asked him.
"No, that's all" He said.
"Good" I said and hang up. This bastard. I can't believe I'm doing this. I already hate it and I haven't even started. He wants me to meet the rest of the team too. It's probably more heartless killers like him, that don't give a shit about a single innocent person out there. They only care about their big egos and how to make money. I hope they don't want me to become one of them, because they're wrong, I will not do any of that.
I took a long bath, contemplating my options here. I came to the conclusion that I just have to go with it and ask Harry about Emily. It's nothing bad, right? He trusts me enough to tell me more about her. And here I am, ready to destroy his feelings and lose all the trust he had in me.
I wanted to bring the subject up lightly, just let him know that I want to know more about him, so I started by having casual conversation. The bug was placed inside of my sweater, having easy access to our conversation. I didn't know why exactly Josh cared about how Harry feels about Emily, she's already dead, she doesn't matter to Josh anymore.
