Chapter 2

I was woken by the sound of my phone ringing, and by the sound of the ringtone, I already knew exactly who was on the other end of the phone. I was tempted to just let the phone ring, but I knew I would have hell to pay later. I groaned before picking up the phone.

"Hello" I said in a tired voice.

"Get here, now"

That's all I heard before the call went dead. I groaned a couple more times before getting out of bed. I looked at the clock and saw that I have only been sleeping for a least three hours. THREE HOURS!!! If I am going to do missions that take 12 hours without sleep, I deserve 12 hours of no calls!

I quickly put on a red tank top and my black leather jacket with some dark blue jeans. I got my black vans on, and headed out the door. Another three hour drive, here I come. I couldn't really complain since I was used to even longer on my bike, but it was still a pain.

I got to the base in under two hours. I was speeding, I want to get back to my sleep as quick as possible. When I entered the underground basement, I headed straight to the man who call me here in the first place. I opened the door without knocking, only to see the middle aged man groping and making out with some younger girl.

"Ahem"

The girl jumped and looked at me embarrassed, the man just looked at me with annoyance.

"You couldn't have waited a little longer?"

"You're the one who called me here, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

The girl exited the office and closed the door behind her. I looked back to the man, who was taking a seat behind his desk.

"So...How's my favorite daughter doing?"

"Don't called me that. We are not related in anyway"

"Oh, come on! I taught you everything know!"

"Sure you did"

He just chuckled at my words.

"Why am I here? You interrupted my sleep"

"Well you interrupted my fun, so we're even"

I just stood there glaring at him.

"Okay, okay! Look we got a request to kill a certain person"

"Then get someone else to kill him"

"This one is going to be hard for everyone out there! Which is why I called the best"

"How much?"

"10 mill"

"10 mill? Who is this person that's worth so much?"

"If you take the job you can find out"

"What about...?"

"And he fits your requirements"

I sighed before nodding my head in agreement to do it. He handed me the targets file.

"YES! Okay, I'm coming with you"

"What? Why...NO!"

"Hey! I'm your boss, I get to go wherever I please"

I groaned in irritation.

"Fine, but you stay in the car! There's a reason your retired"

"Okay, okay. Fair enough"

I bet he's just getting bored sitting in the office or his house most of the day since his retirement.
