The air vent was small. Four feet across and four feet tall to be exact. Kyiira had lost all feeling in her left foot; and she cursed all living things as she wiggled her toes in an attempt to wake her foot.
When her timekeep finally told her it was midnight; Kyiira could have leapt for joy. Instead she slowly inched forward on her stomach until her head was directly above the opening into the Senator's chambers. She ever-so-quietly pulled a small but razor sharp knife from her side pocket. She carefully sawed through the sticky gel-like material attaching the vent in place.
Once this was finished she removed another knife; but this one was longer and thicker. She inserted it into the crack between the vent and the main air way. Then with much precision, she managed to pry the vent out of it's little rectangle home. Kyiira was know thankful for those tedious hours spent studying the dang Senator's Mansion's air
Placing the vent cover beside her, Kyiira was now staring down upon the Senator's room and still, sleeping form. This, Kyiira knew, was the most challenging part of the mission. After all, this was the Senator of Level One she was assigned to kill. If it was easy; many others would have attempted or done it by now. Therefore; it was not easy nor a quick task.
Kyiira had prepared herself for numerous booby traps of various types with every tool she could possibly fit on herself. Peering down into the room below, she pulled out a small bottle of chemicals. Spraying it into the air, it slowly revealed shimmering lines cutting through the entire room. Trip lasers.
"That's good, but not good enough to beat me." Kyiira muttered aloud with a smirk. She pulled out a small metal cylinder. She focused her breathing and concentrated, she could not trip a single laser. If she did; who knew what the eck would happen. She swiftly threw the cylinder. It sailed through the air; precariously close to a few lasers. It struck the wall on the other side of the room and stuck there. Then it unfolded into a flat panel, beeped a few seconds and then the lasers shimmered and disappeared.
It had taken Kyiira years to save up for a gadget like that; but it was worth it. Once stuck to the wall of the room; it disabled all and any security systems in her way. She'd had to go to a one-of-a-kind black market dealer to get that small little cylinder. But it never failed her.
Kyiira landed on the ground silently, crouching down. As swift as a panther; as deadly as a viper. Silent as wolf hunting its meal. She slunk to the edge of the Senator's bed, where he slept soundly. Unaware of the lethal danger that lurked in his room.
Fool, who gave you permission to live up here, in your fake and perfect world while the rest of us rot on the filth and stink of a criminal life?
In one, smooth motion; she unsheathed the knife from her wrist and poised it above his neck.
"This is for Fourteen. This is for my parents." She said aloud.
Rearing her arm back she prepared to strike.
And then the door to the chamber opened and a shaft of light fell upon her, shattering the night.
