Sweat rolled down my face as I scaled the side of the apartment building. I was just below the third story window that I had to enter when I heard voices.

"I don't know what to do?" Someone said.

"You go tell people."

"But if they find me, I'm dead."

"If they wanted you dead, wouldn't you be dead by now."

Just as he mentioned that I slipped through the window into the shadows.

"Yeah, but they just haven't found me yet. I have security all over the main floor so no one comes or goes without me knowing."

"Ok. I'll give you one night to think about this, but I want to know what you are doing tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

I watched as the other man went to the elevator and hit the down button. Once he was gone, the guy who I was assigned to kill walked into room 317. I skulked over to the door behind him and stopped the door before it could close. I waited a second to check my surroundings before I walked in behind him.

"So, what plans would you like to share?" I asked.

He jumped and turned around slowly wishing he was just hearing things.

"No, no no no. Please don't kill me. I won't tell anyone."

I slowly walked forward.

"Umm, that would work, but that wasn't my job."

Once I finished that sentence his face paled from realization. Then I shot him, without a second thought. After the gun shot, I wrote the initials 'AS' on his checks with my knife. My speciality sign that I've written on every one of my victims. It stands for Assassin Selena.

Right when I finished, I heard footsteps running down the hall. I quickly hid behind the door, just before it opened.

"Master?" a security man from downstairs asked.

He walked in the room to see his master flayed out on the floor with my sign.

"I'm calling all force..." he started to say into a walkie talkie before I shot him too.

I quickly headed out of the room after writing my initials sloppily this time. Once I reached the window, I heard the elevator door 'ding' meaning it was about to open. I crawled out of the window just before I heard the shouts of all the men running around looking for me, the killer.

I was stealthily climbing up the building when one guard stuck his head out the window. He looked down and then he looked up checking for the killer. I froze in just that instant hoping he wouldn't be able to make out my figure. Luckily he went back inside and didn't come looking this way again.

Also, I didn't introduce myself. I am Selena, the most wanted Assassin.
