Chapter 2

Hope you like it!

They got to the bunker and stepped out of the car. They scanned their faces and the door opened for them. They got inside and Skylar pressed on the elevator button. The door opened and they saw a guy in a tuxedo standing there.

"I've never seen this guy before. He must be new," Skylar thought.

"West," Joey greeted the guy.

"Campbell," West, Oliver, greeted him. He turned to Skylar. "Ms....." 

Skylar glared at him. "That's Mr. Kennedy to you."

Oliver furrowed his eyebrows. "Aren't you a girl?"

"No."

"But your hair is so long and you're so short."

"WHAT FOR EXCUSE IS THAT?! AND DON'T CALL ME SHORT YOU TALL PRICK!" Joey struggled to hold Skylar back and Oliver's back hit the wall as he was praying to God for Skylar not to attack him. The elevator door opened and the sight the others saw wasn't pretty.

"We're here," Joey announced to Skylar. Skylar broke loose and dusted off his dress. They all walked to Roy's office. Joey knocked three times.

"Come in." He opened the door and saw him sitting behind his desk. Roy stood up and walked to stand in front of them.

"Mr. Kennedy," they both said.

"West. Campbell." He paused and smiled when he saw Skylar. "Kennedy."

"Hi dad," he said and hugged Roy. Roy smiled and hugged him back. They broke the hug and Skylar took his heels off. He ran his fingers through his blond hair.

"What kind of assassination are we talking about? And why do I have to wear this shit?" He asked. "I want to take this off."

Roy sighed and showed them the PowerPoint. "Your target is this guy." A middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes popped up on the screen. "Mark Williams. 35 years old, divorced, has 2 kids. He has a huge scar on his right hand. He's going to this ball and you two-" he pointed Oliver and Skylar. "-have to go and kill him." He turned to Oliver. "Now I know that this is your first assassination, West. But stick to Skylar and you're safe."

"I have a question, sir," Oliver said and glanced at Skylar. "Why am I save with he-, I mean, him?" Roy and Skylar smirked.

"Because I trained him since he was little and he's a natural-born killer. He joined us here when he was 12 and is the first and best minor that we've ever had. He's even better than most of the assassins here," Roy gloated. Skylar rolled his eyes with a smile.

"Okay then. When do we have to go?" 

"The ball starts at seven, so you have an hour to prepare. I'll send you both the location. Dismissed." Skylar grabbed his heels and with Oliver, they went to the weapon room as Joey stayed to talk with Roy.

They took the elevator again and waited. When they heard the 'ding', they got out of the elevator. They grabbed some weapon holders and put their guns in them. Oliver put it under his jacket and Skylar strapped it on his thigh.

"Do you know why a woman isn't going with me?" Oliver asked Skylar.

Skylar loaded the magazine. "Most of them are already assigned to something. We don't have a lot of women either," Skylar answered. When they were done, they went to the car and drove off. Skylar spotted the cards and read what was written on one. 

"Masquerade ball?'" He wondered. He saw the masks and sighed. "Miss me with that bullshit."

"Remember to put on the mask," Skylar said. Oliver hummed in return.
