Stuck

On The Way to Work

**RACHELS POV**

In all the rush of trying to contact this assassain that was going to kill me i realised that if i didnt hurry up id lose one of the reasons i was trying to live for.

My promotion.

As it was only temporaray i had to show that i deserved it. That meant getting to work on time. I looked at the clock, shit i was running 15 minutes late. This was bad.

In a flurry i pulled on my work clothes and tidied myself up. I put my hair into a tightly styled bun and the bottom of my head. I put on some basic makeup and shoved on my heels. I grabbed my bag and ran out the front door.

By the time i had got to the station i had missed my usual train. I looked at the schedule. There was 10 whole minutes until the next train. I sighed, this day wasnt going well at all.

Before i sat down i scanned my surroundings for any signs of danger. There werent any i could see. I lived in a small town so the station wasnt very busy. But i felt paranoid that someone was going to do something.

I scurried over to the seats and sat down quickly trying to keep my head down. The assassain knew what i looked like but if i tried to remain oblivious then there was a chance they may not recognise who i was.

I looked around to see if there was anyone that could be skilled in combat. I didnt think so. There was this elderly lady that didnt look like much of a danger to me and a bald, slightly chubby man. There were also 3 other people whose faces i could see. But none of which had an obviously toned body so i tried to tell myself they couldnt be in the assassains business.

After what felt like years the train came and no one had made any move to harm me. I boarded in the carrage that i though was most empty. I looked around and prayed that no one else would come in after me. There were 2 other people in the carrage and i sat as far away as possible.

At the next stop an able bodied young man stepped into the carrage. His eyes met mine. I began to breathe heavily. I shut my eyes and willed the train to go faster. My stop was soon and i needed to get off. Especially if that young man was going to hurt me.

There was a portly looking businessman sitting between us. When he got off at the next stop the young man moved into his seat to sit next to me. I looked away and tried to steady my breathing. I closed my eyes and prepared for the worst. If he was going to kill me i wanted it to be quick.

Suddenly i felt his hand catch ahold of my arm.
