I keep replaying the message Chaos gave me.
"I don't know what you mean. Who and what is a black angel?" A Female voice questions. A voice that sounds very much like the one that's been stuck in my head.
"Oh, I think you know exactly what I'm talking about Black Angel. You killed my father last night." A male voice speaks that part, and man, when I find out who this jerk is. Things will go down. Chaos sent this and an address. I'm driving to this address which is the same as my last mission.
"Black Angel is a girl." I still can't get over that. None of the assassins that I work with have ever seen or heard Black Angel's real self. Chaos made sure that Black Angel's identity was never discovered. To be honest everyone at work thought it was a dude. We took bets on who we thought it was, nobody guessed a girl. Black Angel is the top assassin and heir to Chaos's business ever since she showed up three years ago. Apparently she will be taking over when Chaos retires.
I think my just mad because a girl got this cool name and I'm stuck with Cabbage, like what the heck.
I reach the house about twenty minutes later. I pull my mask on and start toward the back of the house to the chimney, which allows me to scale the house without being seen by the cameras. I climb to the second story and luckily for me the window is already open. I jump in and land softly barely making a sound. I walk towards one of the many rooms and shut the doors behind me. I pull out my phone and remotely loop the cameras to the same feed so on one will see me. I then track Black Angel through her phone.
"Bingo." She's downstairs, beside the stairs. I pull off my mask and jacket.
"Good thing I wore nice clothes today. Man, I'm talking to myself. This is why I don't do solo missions. It's kind of weird talking to myself." I shake my head and then crack the door and peer outside to see if anyone is there. Nope, costs clear. I step outside the room and head for the stairs. I notice right away the lights are off and everyone is dancing. The Black Angel was at a party? Looks like no one is around the stairs except for the two figures right beside them. The stairs are mostly in shadows so it's easy to make my way down them without being seen, I just have to stick close to the wall.
When I reach the last step and get as close to the figures as I dare, I hear their conversation,
"Look, I don't know who your father is, and I definitely did not kill him. I'm just here to have a good time with my friends. I mean hello, I'm a party girl."
A male snickers, "I would believe you Nora," Nora! Like my hot neighbor Nora. "but since high school you really haven't been the whole party girl you used to be."
"It's called a life Noah. You should try it sometime." I cover my laugh with a hand to my mouth.
The male,Noah, growls at Nora.
"Continuing, your awful busy for someone who works at an art shop. Let's not forget the fact you can be found at the gym or gun range when someone can actually find you."
"So, I'm fit and like to shoot guns? Doesn't mean I killed your dad."
"No, but your blood does." Blood? I think back over last night and remember. Black Angel, Nora, got stabbed in the thigh and was bleeding everywhere. Oh, crap. I hear a smack then a hiss as someone sucks in a breath.
"Did? You? Just? Smack? Me?" Nora says through clenched teeth. Your in trouble now dude.
"The killer last night was stabbed. You know what's funny? You have a slight limp and you leg hurts right where the killer was stabbed. Funny, right?"
"I think we should finish this conversation elsewhere. Hmm." Good thinking. Lure him away then kill him.
"Sure, but if your thinking of harming me, don't. I have guards watching." That's a lie. I move deeper into the shadows as Nora and Noah make their way upstairs. Noah is in front and Nora lingers a bit at the bottom looking right at me. She nods her head upwards. She starts to walk again and I follow.
At the top Noah leads us to the first room, unaware that he's taking in two not one. I shut the door as I step in still keeping to the shadows.
"Sorry, but this is a private conversation. Whoever else is in here please leave." Noah says straining his neck to see me.
"Yeah, I don't think so." I step into the light.
"Oh, did Nora call a big boy to do her work for her?" I see Nora fist her hands then boom. Right on the nose. Noah stumbles back and hits the floor.
"Aww, did the little girl break the big boy's nose." She says it in a childish voice and even wobbles her lower lip like she's sad. Noah gets up, clearly not happy a girl broke his nose.
"What do you want Noah?" Her hands find their way to her curvy hips. What am I saying. You can not like the Black Angel, no matter how cute and sassy she is.
"Oh, nothing really. Just one itty bitty detail, I want..."
