Vixen

Today is the day I meet at the facility with the team Ace arranged for Andy's mission. Man, I'm just wondering who I'll see. It could be anyone who's graduated by now. I hope we're all cooperative.

After feeding Cujo and taking him out to use the bathroom, I threw on some black jeans, my combat boots, and a tank top. It's the middle of July, so I grabbed some shades too.

I debated on whether I should put my wig and contacts on, but decided to just do the contacts and put my actual hair up into a ponytail.

Leaving Cujo with a bone to chew on, I exited my apartment and got into my car. I haven't seen my landlord around, and honestly, the less I see him, the better. If there's one thing I hate, it's lying. Especially to someone like him, after he's allowed me to stay in his complex in exchange for killing just one person.

When I got to the facility, Andy was in the training area, and so was Veronica!

"Hey, baby!" I went and hugged him, then asked, "Veronica, you're on the team?"

"Yep!" She smiled.

"Has Ace told you who else will be here? He just told me it's a surprise." I hoped she'd have a clear answer.

"If he says it's a surprise, it's a surprise." She shrugged.

"Man." I whined. "An-Jesse...do you know?"

"It's a surprise." He told me.

"WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A SURPRISE?! I got anxiety, man." Part of me was freaking out to see who would be joining us.

I hope they're cool and can work well with us. If I have to deal with any assholes, imma throw hands. I give no fucks if they trained here.

"They'll be here soon, give them like 5 minutes." Veronica laughed.

"So y'all know who they are, but you won't tell me. Awesome." I plopped down on the foam mat floor.

"Fine, maybe a hint. It's been 3 years."

I thought about it. It's been 3 years since we left the facility. Wait...man, don't tell me Jason's on the team, we started our agreement 3 years ago.

I sighed, "I still don't understand."

"You're about to. Look who just walked in." Veronica nodded towards the entrance of the training area.

I whipped my head around to see a fair skinned woman with black hair in a side cut. The curve of her smile was unmistakable...I'd seen it every day for 4 years.

"OOO, Miss Dahlia Larkin!!!" I stood up and went to hug her. One of my old classmates is on the team! I hope everyone else is cool like her.

"Vixen Stryker!" Her arms wrapped around my waist while mine hugged around her shoulders. "It's been a while! You so cute!"

"You too! I love the hair. I couldn't pull it off." I laughed.

She then started greeting Veronica, but my surprise wasn't over. Next, a man who was well built in muscle came into the training area. His face had a short beard, dark brown like his hair. I watched that beard grow in all those years ago.

"Mark! Bro, you're built af!" I opened my arms to hug him, only for him to pick me up with no effort at all.

"Vixen, so good to see you! Still as tall as you'll ever be, shorty." He picked on my height.
