"Did you really think you could become friends with his daughter?!" my aunt exclaims and I try to shrink even further away from her. "You're an idiot!" my aunt shouts and I whimper. "Did you think you could befriend her and kill her that way? She's our enemy! Her dad made your dad and my brother disappear and he made us leave our home!" my aunt shouts. "I'm going to have to train you with a strict hand apparently, otherwise you'll become friends with the person you'll have to kill." she says and I shake my head. "I don't want to kill." I tell her. "That's like saying you don't want to be a Novak." she tells me without looking at me. I shrug and my aunt lets me go. I walk to the room that holds my younger siblings, they are still young and innocent. "Abe, do you wanna play?" Castiel asks me and I smile. "Sure kiddo." I tell him and we start playing.

Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if my aunt had never known about me meeting Christina Winchester, would she have treated me differently? It doesn't matter, the Winchesters are my enemy and they need to die. Somewhere deep down I still don't want to kill and especially not Christina. "Gabriel, you are required in the meeting room."  random help of my aunt tells me and I nod. "I'll be there in a minute." I tell him. The help nods and leaves the room. I glance in the mirror one more time before walking to my aunts office. We have a different building for living than for work, the walk between the two is short. I put on my jacket and leave, it's winter and it's freezing. I blow out a breath and notice how I can see it as a small cloud. I walk to the working building and somebody opens the door for me. I walk straight to my aunts office, not caring about the fact I should be signing in for a meeting with my aunt. I walk to her office and walk in without knocking. My aunt is sitting at her desk, another man is sitting in the chair in front of the desk. "Gabriel, where are your manners?" aunt Amara reprimands me. The man in the chair turns around and I grin. "I heard it was urgent, so here I am." I tell her. "Still, you could've knocked." My aunt tells me and she points to the place in front of her desk. I'm meant to be standing there as I hear my aunt and the client talk about my next... victim. A bad feeling rises in my stomach but I do what my aunt says anyway. "So, you want someone gone... someone of a higher danger level?" my aunt asks the man as she sits down again. "Yes, this woman is very dangerous. I need your best assassin to do this and even then I think it'll be a close call." the man tells. "Let me introduce you to my best assassin, Gabriel. Gabriel this is our client." my aunt introduces me to the man. The man reaches his hand out and I shake it. "Nice to meet you sir." I say, it's just to please my aunt and getting this over with so I can get out of here. "The pleasure is all mine." the man says while he looks me up and down. "This really is your best? He seems kind of small." the man says turning to my aunt. Now I just want to punch him in the face. "Yes, Gabriel may seem small but he is swift and smart." my aunt tells the man and he nods. "Just know you are most likely sending him to his death. You're not the first assassin organization that I go to for this particular problem." the man says and my aunt nods.

After the meeting I go back home to pack some clothing, I will be going to the other side of this massive town. "Gabe, did you get a mission?" Anna asks me and I nod. "Yeah, don't worry though, I'll be home soon." I tell her and I quickly hug her. "Alright, I'll tell the others." She says and she walks away. I watch her go before continuing to pack my bags. When I'm done I leave for the office again. This time I enter through a backdoor, a secret one that will lead to the weapon floor. It's another floor underneath the office and it holds rooms filled with weapons. Every assassin has their own room and they are the only ones with the key to their room. I open my room and get all my weapons ready to use. I strap some knifes in hidden places and one gun as well, I also grab my rifle. After I've gotten all my weapons I walk to the debriefing room on the weapon floor. "Good you're here, took you long enough to get ready." my aunt greets me and I sigh. "You'll never be nice to me, will you?" I ask her and she shakes her head. "No, it'll make you strong. Now for your job, your victim is called Christina Winchester. I'm pretty sure by now you know who she is. At the moment she's at her house and if you hurry you can shoot her there. Be careful, her family tends to be the avenging type." my aunt explains to me and I nod. I know where to go, who to kill and the risks, let's go. "You can go." my aunt says and I leave the room. I grab my rifle from where I left it and I get on a random bike. I start it and I start driving towards downtown. The Novak family, my family, has the parts in town that are richer, better clients. The Winchesters have the downtown parts, less paying but more clients, with all the gangsters that want each other dead it's no surprise the Winchester business is going well. I arrive downtown and check in in a crappy hotel. I put up my laptop and open it. What can I find about the Winchesters, and in particular Christina Winchester, on the internet, maybe even the dark web. It turns out there's not much on the dark web and even less about her on the internet. I growl frustrated and walk out again, getting on my bike and taking my rifle with me to the Winchester house. I sneak into a building and get on its roof. I set up my rifle and look through the scope, searching for the woman I'm supposed to kill. I see her and she's breathtakingly beautiful. I look up from my scope to stare at her with a slightly open mouth. "Hello Christina, you beauty." I whisper and I look at her through my scope again. One of the Winchester brothers, the extremely tall moose one, enters the room and starts talking with Christina. Suddenly an alarm sounds and different people gather in a big room to the left of Christina's. I look through my scope and see John Winchester pointing in my way. I quickly look around and it's then that I notice a bird with a camera around its neck, sitting behind me on the roof. "Shit." I say and I flip the bird at the camera, and the bird. I grab my stuff and leave, running back to my hotel. I arrive in time but I'm not sure if I was followed back. I decide to make sure nobody did and I grab my handgun. I casually leave and walk around the hotel. I grin when I notice nobody followed me. I walk back to my room and go inside. I shouldn't take so many risks and I should check my surroundings better. I smile and walk to the television, let's see what's on. I zap through the channels but nothing interesting is on. Suddenly I see Casa Erotica and I leave it on. I nearly choke when I recognize the girl, it's my victim Christina Winchester. I quickly snap a picture, I'm pretty sure nobody else knows about this and a plan is already forming in my head. I just have to get Chrissie's number and text her. I grin and send a message to our hacker, Frank. Not long after I get a message back, it contains a phone number and nothing else. "Hello Chrissie Winchester, I would like to meet and discuss something with you, love Ken Smith." I say out loud while typing, also using my alibi for missions. Not long after a get a responds saying: "Great, where do we meet?". "How about the park on mainstreet? There's a nice restaurant nearby that we could eat and drink something." I suggest. "When?" is her respond. "Tomorrow at three thirty?" I ask and she sends an okay back. I grin and continue watching the episode of Casa Erotica; I do have to say, little Chrissie is sexy as all hell. I order some room service and eat it in my room. At ten pm I go to bed, I do have a date tomorrow.
