The Assassin | Dreamcatcher

Chapter 10

Later that afternoon, Siyeon woke, her eyes squinting as she realises she's lying face down on a bed. There is a deep throbbing behind her dry eyes and her lips crack as she takes a gasp of air.

"SuA?" She asks aloud weakly.

"You're awake!" SuA comes to her bedside. "Do you want to sit up?"

"I can do that myself." Siyeon sits herself against the headboard slowly and winces a little at the pain in her head.

"How do you feel?" SuA sits on the bed beside her, watching with a worried expression.

"A little weak." She admits, putting a hand to her head and feeling the bandages. "Thank you for dressing the wound. I'll give you an A for effort." Siyeon attempts humour to which SuA responds with a small smile.

"I cleaned it with water and antiseptic wipes." She says, watching as Siyeon's face becomes more serious.

"Good...but we need to talk about what you tried to do."

"Yes." She replies feebly, looking away in clear shame.

"I understand that that man killed your family and you want to kill him for doing so. But, you can't be reckless in doing so. You didn't do any surveillance, you immediately tried to kill him with only a basic knowledge of his schedule, hm?"

"I didn't do any surveillance." She admits in a small voice.

"Not to mention that our company rules are against you carrying out an assassination outside of missions."

SuA bows her head is shame. "Are you going to tell Miss Dami?"

"No." She answers simply, after a pause. "I'd likely lose you as a trainee if I did so. But it isn't just about the effect it has on me. I want you to see closure on your family's deaths." The pause is longer this time. "So...I'm perfectly willing to help you assassinate Minhyuk and never say a word about it to Dami."

"You what?" SuA is shocked.

"Perfectly serious." Siyeon reiterates coolly. "We'll have to do it tomorrow, because this is your last holiday for a while."

"What about surveillance?"

"You seemed to know when he was going to leave the building. Do you have some...information?"

"I bribed someone to give me his schedule." She admits and takes her phone out to look at the said document.

"Let me see." Siyeon takes her phone and peers at the screen, wincing at its brightness. "He's leaving tomorrow, early in the morning for another city."

"Yeah, that's why I wanted to do it today."

"Do you know where he lives? We can assassinate him there."

"He lives on the top floor of his company building." SuA replies.

"That makes everything easier then. There's not much need for surveillance apart from checking he's in there when we go."

"Okay."

"Do you want...him to know that you killed him?" Siyeon asks her question slowly, not able to guess what SuA's answer would be.

Though her face drains of colour at her words, she nods. "I want to kill him up close. And personal. I want him to know it's me."

"That's fine." Siyeon thinks quickly of how they could achieve that. Do you think it's possible to infiltrate the building?"

"There's CCTV, but there's likely to be no one but him in the building. He's a pretty conceited fuck."

"Great. I can persuade a member of the Surveillance team to sort out the CCTV for us so we can get in easily." She nods, knowing that she would be able to pull in a favour easily.

"How will we get in?"

Siyeon digs through her backpack and brings out a coil of cable with a sturdy hook on the end. "This is zip-wire cable, pretty sturdy stuff. We can move from the roof of the building we were on today to the building's roof."

"That sounds...unrealistic. Does it really work?"

She nods enthusiastically. "I've used it many times."

SuA's face pales again as her eyes watch the hook. "Well. I hope it goes well."
