As they exited the woods, Alice and Tim found themselves in a nice looking suburban neighborhood.
"So which house is the target in?" Alice asked, having been given no information.
"That one over there." Tim pointed to a blue house down the street with a sleek black car in the driveway. They began to make their way over, both aware of cameras and dogs left in people's yards. Getting to the house was always easy enough.
"I'll go around and check the windows, you stay here." Alice nods her head and keeps low to the ground as Tim starts making his way around the house. After a few minutes he comes back around Mask in hand. "Found an open one, come on."
They both climbed into the window, Alice having a bit of trouble due to her height, they found themselves in what seemed to be the dining room. Alice wandered around a bit, looking at the photos on the wall in the living room, noticing that many of them feature a large man in a blue uniform. She sighs and walks over to Tim, who had been checking for pets.
"It's a cop." She warned him, gesturing to the pictures.
Tim sighed heavily. "Of course it's a cop." Neither of them were very thrilled. Alice always had trouble with cops and Tim didn't like them very much either. They looked at each other for a moment
"Rock, paper, scissors for it?" Alice proposed.
"Yeah," Tim said as they both put their hands up. They only needed one round for Alice to lose. "Good luck short stack." Tim said with a smirk as he put his mask on.
"Yeah whatever." She partially growled at the nickname. Alice made her way down the hall, checking doors as she went. She came across an office, which Tim slipped into as she continued down the hall.
Eventually she came across a bedroom, peeking in to see a man and a woman still asleep in their bed. She did a quick look through the rest of the rooms to make sure those were the only people here before heading back.
She decided to go for the women first, that way no one could make any calls while she took on the cop. Killing her would definitely wake him up though, so she had to work quickly.
Alice entered the room and closed the door behind her. Walking up to the women's side of the bed, staring down at her. She was a pretty woman, short brown hair and fair skin. Fortunately she was laying on her back, which made taking care of her a whole lot easier.
She positioned her scissors above the womens chest, angled to hit where her heart was. Raising her hands above her head before she slammed them down into the women. The womens eyes went wide, and Alice put a hand over her mouth until they went dim. Woken by the struggle, the man stirred and began to sit up. Alice yanked her scissors out of the womens chest and lunged at the man while he was still tired. This didn't work well as he threw her off before she could get a hit in.
The man shot up completely and looked over at the women then to Alice, who had gotten up again and prepared her scissors to attack him again.
"Who the fuck are you!?" The man yelled and looked over to his wife. "Celine call the - CELINE!!" He yells as he spots the blood seeping from the womens chest and mouth. Alice's stays focused as she lunges at him again, only getting a few scratches near the eyes before she's thrown off again. The man wipes off a bit of blood that seeped from one of the cuts, storming towards Alice with an angry expression and reaching out for her. She dodges his hands, redirecting herself and aiming for his side. She got a good hit in but it didn't seem to do much as he grabbed her by the shoulder and held her against himself, keeping her arm pinned to her sides. 'Shit!' she thought as she tried to get out of the hold. She brought up a leg and kneed him in the groin, he groaned in pain and let go, falling to the ground.
"It's not nice to touch a girl without permission." Alice states walking towards him and seeing him reach under the bed. He pulls out a large hunting knife and holds it towards her.
"Don't come any closer!" He yelled, regaining his composure, though still weak due to the stab in the side from earlier. She took a step forward and the man lunged at her with the knife. She was able to dodge out of the way in time, only getting a deep cut on her bicep. She turned on her heel and stabbed the man in the back, pulling her scissors out as he fell to the floor, still alive but weak and tired. She used what strength she had to flip him over on his back, looking down at him from where she stood. Fear clouded his eyes and tainted his voice. "Please, don't kill me, I have a family, please!"
Alice looked down at him, her body still and face serious. "You should have thought of that before getting the knife." Her voice was calm as she stabbed her scissors into his neck. Bright red blood gushed from the wound, getting on her clothes and hands, soaking part of her hair.
She pulled her scissors from his neck and exited the room, checking on Tim in the office. "Get what we need?" She asked.
He held up a manila envelope and a folder. "Yep, let's get out of here." He walked back to the window where they came in, making their way through a few more houses before heading back to the entrance of the woods and heading back to the mansion.
