Lethal Assassin {Mark, Jack, Dan, Phil, Ethan, Natewantstobattle, MatPat}

Planning

Upon our arrival to the headquarters, the boss greeted us where Dan parked the car.

"How did it go?" She inquired as we stepped out.

"Excellent." I told her. "I managed to get Ethan Nestor's cell number and the address that they all live at. Apparently it is right near Buckingham Palace. I have it all written here on a napkin."

She took the napkin from my hand and examined it closely. "I will take this to the labs so they can track the phone. You all should get some rest because Y/N, you may be going over there tomorrow."

With that, she walked away with the napkin and went to the labs to get it analyzed. The team and I headed all the way to our penthouses and gathered in Sean's unit.

"So, you might be going over to their place." Phil commented.

I nodded my head. "I am not sure if I should be interested or concerned."

"Well, we will all most likely be right by you the whole time so nothing will happen." Dan replied.

"I hope that is the case." I said. "I feel like they may have been catching onto me."

Sean raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

"Well," I began. "Once Ethan wrote down all of that information, the rest of them were glaring at him, clearly because they did not want him giving that away. I am not sure, maybe I am stretching this a little too far, but maybe they actually do remember who I am."

Phil shook his head slightly. "I do not think they would remember you. It has been, what, five years?"

I nodded. "Yes, but-"

"You have nothing to worry about. You will be fine." Sean reassured me.

I did not bother staying on that subject for any longer. Instead, I walked into the kitchen and sat on a chair at the island. Dan and Phil promptly joined me, and Sean went to the fridge, pulling out four bottles of water. Just then, the doorbell rang.

Sean dashed out of the kitchen and answered the door. Moments later, he entered again with the boss.

"Hello ma'am." Phil greeted her upon her arrival in the room.

She smiled while nodding her head at Phil, then she turned dead serious and locked eyes with me.

"We have been tracking the phone number you acquired Y/N. It perfectly matches up with the address, which means Mr. Nestor did give you correct information. Tomorrow afternoon, you will call him and try to get over to their residence." She explained.

I nodded. "And what will I be tasked to do over there?"

"Snoop around a little bit. Try to find anything you can that will provide us with evidence of what they are doing and their plans. That way, we can try to catch them in the act. But please, for heavens sake, do not kill any of them...unless it is a dire life or death situation."

"What about Sean, Dan, and Phil?" I inquired, knowing they were going to ask.

She looked between the three of them. "You three will stay here. It will draw too much suspicion if you are anywhere near their home. So Y/N, you will take a cab to and from their place, just to make it all seem normal."

The three of them looked at me, then back at the boss.

Dan cleared his throat. "But ma'am, should we not be-"

"No." She answered, aware of where his sentence was going.

After her instructions, she left Sean's penthouse unit and continued on with her night.

I let out a small laugh. "Sneak around and find anything important. That will not be difficult at all."

I took a few sips from the water bottle I held, feeling anxious about tomorrow night. Especially the fact that I would be by myself.

My three team members all looked at me with worried and sympathetic looks.

"I cannot believe we have to stay here." Phil huffed.

Sean let out a sigh. "Well, we must follow her orders. If we are told to stay here, we need to stay here."

"I honestly am not sure about this." I said as I drank more water.

Dan placed a hand on my shoulder. "I am sure you will be fine."

However, I did not share his optimism. My stomach felt as if it was twisting itself into thousands of knots, and my heart felt like it was in my throat.

I stood up from the chair. "I need to go to bed, I will see you tomorrow."

With that, I left Sean's penthouse unit and went to mine. I felt like a was going to throw up.

Then, I realized what I was doing. I needed to snap out of it, I was an assassin for crying out loud.

I decided that I needed a hot shower. Slipping out of my shoes and dress, I closed the bathroom door and turned the water on. I stood still, letting the water run down my body. Every molecule felt as if it was relaxing my muscles and nerves.

Once I finished, I wrapped a towel around myself and brushed my teeth. That is when I heard it. A soft sound coming from my sitting area.

With the towel wrapped tightly around me, I sneaked into my bedroom and quietly grabbed a knife that I kept in the drawer of my bedside table. I tiptoed into my kitchen and peeked over the island counter, trying to see who was in my penthouse unit.

Upon focusing my eyes, I recognized my boss standing at the coffee table in my sitting area, placing a piece of paper on it.

I went to the front door where my main light switch was located and flipped the switch that controlled the sitting area lights. She whipped around rather quickly, staring me down.

"Ah, Miss Y/N. Did you assume I was an intruder?" She asked, raising one eyebrow.

I went over to my kitchen and put the knife on the island counter. "Why yes, I was startled."

I made my way over to her, eyeing the paper on the coffee table. "What is this?"

"Yes, this," She began. "This is a blueprint of the residence of The Crimson Killers. You should memorize where each of the rooms are, so it will be easier for you when you are searching their place."

I picked up the paper, examining the layout of their flat. "How did you do this?"

"You would be surprised by what I am capable of." She answered. Without another word, she left me alone in my penthouse unit.

"I still cannot believe I am doing this." I whispered to myself, returning to my bathroom.

I got dressed for bed and slipped under the covers. Tomorrow would be an eventful day...
