The driver drove for what seemed to be for hours. I turned on the TV in the car. Channel 9 news. The bomb I had set had started a fire and it was already on TV. Hard to hide a house on fire from the public.

I had no idea why he was ordered to be killed.  It was too easy somehow.  I was about to fall asleep but we arrived. My mother's driver opened the car door for me but I didn't move. Why was he here?

"What are you doing here?" I asked him coldly. 

"Well, hello to you too. You know you can start with "HI. Hello. Or How are you?"once in awhile." he said.

"Fine. HI. Hello. How are you? Why are you here?" I asked for the second time.

"Your mother has another "job" for you. She wanted me to come and get you." he said while smiling.

I stepped out of the car and started to walk with him towards the mansion. Can you believe that my mother and father are the richest people everywhere we go and no one knows what we really are?

 I still can't believe no one knows about us. Everyone thinks we are rich and spoiled with money and the only thing we care about is the latest fashion. Fashion, who has time to worry about it?Don't they ever wonder how we have this money or why we don't go to social events? 

My mother's driver escorted me to my mother's office. I opened the door and saw the office chair turned the other way around. When she heard me she turned around. 

She had a gun in her hand.

Before she could fire I quickly ran to the other side of the room and I picked up the chair in front of her desk. Once I had it, I threw it at her as a distraction. I used the time I had and jumped on her making the chair fall over bringing us down with it. I took the gun.

"Nice one." she said.

"Thank you." I said while getting off of her.

I hated these tests.

 Both my mother and father told me that they would surprise me with what they called "surprise attacks". Original, right?

"We have to make sure you don't die" was the nicest thing they had said to me. The first time they gave me a "surprise attack" I was shot in the arm. The head doctor here, John, treated me. He taught me how to remove a bullet and how to bandage up a knife wound, just in case. 

"Isabella, I have another quick and simple job. This is strictly an informative job. No killing. We just need to find out what he knows." she told me.

"Who's the target?" I asked her.

"An old friend's son. I think he was your first job. The father I mean. What was his name?" she told me.

"Seth." I breathed out.

"Oh... That's right Seth. Find out more about his son."

She handed his file to me.
