The Choice

Chapter 1: On the Job

5 YEAR LATER

“Sterling sisters you are summoned by Callen. Now.” One of their new servants said, who is an assassin by the way.

“Ugghhh, it’s so early in the morning.” Caitlin muttered. Kathleen throws a pillow at her.

“Get up! We’re late. We have a mission.” Kathleen added.

“We don’t do missions on mornings. We cannot be seen, remember?” Caitlin answered back. Kathleen throws another pillow.

“Fool, we always get oriented first before going out to hunt. Come on, Callen has a temper you know.” Kathleen pointed out.

Kathleen was already dressed up. Caitlin got up and wore her casual clothing.

They walk together down the stairs and down the stairs again where Callen was.

“Good Morning, Friends!” Callen exclaimed.

“Hwaaa…I’m still sleepy.” Caitlin yawned. “I stayed up late last night because of work.”

“That’s cause you didn’t finish early. That’s why I told you to-“ Callen stopped.

“What’s the next job Callen?” Kathleen interrupted. She looked active and energized today.

“Well, here goes.” Callen pressed the enter button. Computer sounds echoed around the hall

The computer spoke, “Dear Sterlings, you are about to do an A-class kind of mission. Your target is Tris Black, a renowned public figure. He is very popular on television. But there have been news that he smuggled different kinds of drugs into the country and have repeatedly abused his wife. Your mission is to eliminate your target. Here’s the schedule:

Where: Presto Club

When: 7 pm tonight

How: Gunshot.

Failure is not a word.” The computer beeped as soon as it’s done.

Both the sisters were given time to train first before going out. Callen as the coach.

The girls have far improved since the first time they took this job. They were hesitant at first but then that incident that happened 5 years ago seemed to motivate them to kill the people they consider as the “bad people” of earth.

“Remember Kathleen, when the opponent steps first before punching, it means he’s scared.” Callen coached.

Kathleen only nodded. Caitlin on the other hand was practicing her kicks. They were higher than before and that seemed to make her smile.

The next part of the training was firing a gun. The sisters were pretty good at this. Both of them hits the bulls-eye.

After training, they have to have a rest. They sleep all afternoon so that during nighttime they are awake.

At last, it was almost time to work. The sisters started to prepare. Caitlin being the youngest is in charge of the computer and the World Panorama while Kathleen hunts the enemy down.

Callen drove Kathleen near the building where the party was ongoing. She got out of the car walked towards the opposite building of the target.

She enters the building without the guard noticing her gun and any weapon on her. Of course, she’s skilled and used to doing this.

She rides the elevator to the 15th floor. On the said floor was a mini bar where most depressed people go to. Kathleen rents a videoke room.

“For how many people ma’am?” The cashier in charge said.

“For one person only. I’m very depressed you know. I need some time alone.” Kathleen explained.

The woman in charge walks her to the room and leaves her alone. When the woman was gone Kathleen closed the door behind her. She locked the door and turned off the lights.

Kathleen looks at the window and sees her target, Tris Black sitting down with bunch of girls in his lap. It was a very irritating thing to look at, she thought.

Using a device called ‘cutter’ she draws a circle on the window. It breaks silently. The weapon she used is a sniper gun so that she can see right through her target.

The gun end of the gun was put in the circle-cut she made. Looks at her target and boom! Next thing the people in that party know was that Tris Black’s blood was splattered.

Kathleen quickly cleans her mess up in the room and headed for the door. She exited without the woman in charge noticing her.

She rides the elevator downwards but the elevator stops and the doors opened. She can see the opposite elevator also opened, that was when she saw the officer in charge of her case, Jake Wilson.

Kathleen didn’t know who he was but she thought he was hot.
