Chapter 4: Can't get you off my mind

The door clicked opened and I stepped into my apartment to be greeted by my kitten. His name was koneko, he was five weeks old and I found him in a box on my way home. I couldn't just leave him so, here he was the little tuxedo cat claiming my red sofa like it was his throne,

I sighed placing my bag down, I just got back from the agency to report some stuff and of course they gave me a bunch of files to go over....again. As I made my way toward the kitchen Koneko meowed by his food bowl demanding food.

"Yeah, I'm on it..." I said grabbing a box of food from one of the cubborts and pouring it into the cats food bowl. He meowed happily before munching done on his dinner. Speaking of dinner, what should I make tonight?

I took another glance at my pile of work I had yet to get too...

I think take out will suffice, I grabbed my phone and ordered a pizza from my favorite pizza place in town. It was in walking distance but I didn't feel like going out right now. "Yeah that's the address," I said and the man on the phone informed me he'd drop it off in 10 minutes.

I hung up and collapsed onto my couch, "let's see what's on TV." I spoke to myself flipping through the channel....boring....boring.....cliche horror movie....cliche romance movie....news...boring...BORING.

"Ugh there is nothing on!" I yelled into my apartment frustrated, I'm so bored.

Suddenly my phone was ringing, was it the pizza man again? I grabbed the phone groaning but my eyes lit up when I saw the number and I decided to answer,

"Sup," I spoke into the phone as I took a sip of my ice coffee. Something told me I'd need it.

"I got a job for you, if your willing to take it." The lower voice spoke and I felt a grin spread across my face.

"Who's the victim?"

"Cocky as always huh,"

"Well I'm not going to let them just get away, nobody gets away from me."

"I know, just don't let it go to your head."

"Too late."

"Look you want the job or not?" The man's deep voice said annoyed.

"Send me the location." After he did I stood up and pet my cats head, "I'll be back later Koneko." The cat meowed to me in response as I grabbed my jacket and left the apartment.

It's cold out tonight, it's like the world knows what's about to go down. I pulled the face mask over my nose hopping down from the rooftop, the black fabric of my trench coat blower in the wind. My eyes landed on a blonde haired boy. He was about to sell another one of his drugs.

I stepped forward the soft tap of my shoes hitting the concrete was more than enough for the man to look at me. His customer ran off, I could catch him if I wanted but,

He's not my target.

The man grabbed a knife from his pocket. "Stay back! I don't want any trouble!" His threats seemed real but his blue eyes said they were empty threats fueled by fear. I could see it in his eyes, he was more scared than anything, which meant he wasn't a pro at this and he was new at this because people who knew how to play the game knew not to show fear. A question that boggled my mind was why was someone so young my target?
