She was back.

The target was back.

Alone.

Alone with the little blond boy.

No men around her. Nobody guarding her. It was just her and the boy.

It didn't make any sense.

Checking the park for the tenth time, I was sure. Only the two of them here.

There were a couple of others at the park. None of them seemed to be Hydra's men. Hoped none of them were.

The target hadn't spotted me. So I slunk into the shadows. Between the bushes. The trees behind the bench. Watching. Waiting. In the shadows.

'What do I want to do now?'

Should I grab her? Should I watch her? Should I follow her?

How do I get the information about what they did to me from her? Torture? Did I want to torture her?

Was that who I am now?

Was I to kill her after I was finished?

And what of the little boy?

Pain ripped through my head. The decisions. I couldn't handle it. I don't remember how to make them. What was I supposed to do? Nobody was there to tell me.

And I couldn't shrug this off.

Clenching fists did nothing to help. Though it did distract me from what I needed to do. To make a decision. The damage in the metal arm sent shocks into my body from use.

Then a thought.

One that drifted through my hazy mind.

A leaf.

I could toss it like a coin. It could decide for me.

Face up, I take her now.

Face down, I follow her until I understood more.

It was beautiful. Watching the green leaf twist, flip and sway its way to the grass below.

Face down.

The dull thumping in my head calmed down.

I knew what I was to do. I had a direction again.

I didn't have to wait long in the park.

The boy had fallen off the slide. Scraped his knee on the wood chips. The target gathered up the little blond boy. Said a couple of words for the tears to morph into sniffles.

Hand in hand, they left the park.

There was no car waiting for them. I had the chance to follow them with ease. Keeping to the shadows of the houses. Leaping over fences and shrubbery to stay out of sight. For the most part.

I couldn't believe how close she was to the park. Three blocks away. A mere three blocks away.

A big house with an attached garage. A large black S.U.V. parked in the driveway. It was like any other house on the street. It blended right in.

A shadow moved behind the white curtains. Someone else was in the house. Male judging by the size. The way he moved. The sway in the shoulders instead of the hips.
