On A Quest for Meaning

The top assassins: Finding Family 1

OK, this has gone well.I written THE YEARS IN THE DARK AGE, and it's time to move on. Not entirely, but long enough. Enjoy the tale of the 3&4 top assassins in the world.

Jake is currently sitting in the library, reading a book.
Jake Shape.
Or truly Jake holcan.
He has found out he was adopted, and was angry they waited until his 18 birthday to tell him.

Very angry. He has a sister out there waiting for him... like his parents told him. He felt that she could wait. He needed to read a good book. He feels the urge to fight. He wants to push into the darkest region of his mind, but it keeps coming back. A girl pops up behind a book shelf. His friend, actually. She slides up a seat and he sat in it and he stared at her. Her face was alight with... Tears? Yes, she was crying. He pats her back.

"What's wrong Cal?" He asks.

She looked at him with a straight face. They always looked alike, but not related.
"I'm adopted! Why!" She screams.

"Shhhh... The librarian might hear you!"
He whispers.

She gives him a sour face.

He sighs. "I'm adopted too."

Her face becomes a wide U. A smile.
"You think?" She asked him.

"What?" He responds.

"We're related." She answers.

"Ummm," he's put in deep thought "maybe?"

"Yes!" She whoops. "We're related! We're related! We—."

"Wait! I can't be that easy. There must be some kind of adventure, like in the books." Said Jake.

"Books ain't life!" She responds.

"Wait what's your REAL last name?"
He asked.

"Holcan. What's yours?"

His mouth drops to the floor.

"Hol— can."
————;)
Jake and Callie are currently sitting at the Shape's house.
They looked sharply at Kota Shape, who said they SHOULD be apart.
He smiled at them. "Well, that's that. Who wants some cookies?" He asked. "You?" He asked, pointing in Callie's direction.

"No, not Jake either. We're here to find out... are we related?"

Kota gave his wife some glances, sighed, and said: "Yes, in fact, you are related by blood."

Jake and Callie gave each other glances, and left together. Into the darkness of the
Soon coming night.
(Willie's bar)
Chad Moor sat on his stool at the bar when his wife called him.

"Chad, please come home. Callie's here!"

He was running before he's wife could hang up.
(Callie's former house)
The Moor parents said the same thing.

"Yes, in fact, you are related by blood."

They slowly, over the course of the next week, planned escape.
(Skip: A week later)
Callie told him Jake the following:
We're going to sneak out. Meet at the park. We'll figure out the bigger details there.

They two siblings met at the park. They didn't know, but this was the start of a better life. They thought the opposite.
The went to Caks street, where Callie's father caught sight of them from Willie's bar.

"Hey!?" He Yelled.

They were heading to an empty home, trying to buy it, and forgot that Willie's Bar was here.

"Callie! Jakerlin! Come here!" He called.

They siblings went running down the street, while Chad planned his revenge.

I'll beat Callie. Naw. Punish her. Punish Jakerlin too. Wait, is his name Jakerlin?

He thought as he ran after the siblings.
"Runaway" was the only thought in the siblings mind.

Chad soon got tired and stopped. He planned to call the police to get, see, and punish Callie and Jake.
Though he never knew he wasn't going to be able to see Callie or Jake for a Long, long time.

   30 minutes later...
Callie and Jake are currently standing in front of the home they want. It's small, but perfect.

They were old enough to get the house. See, The owner of the house owed Jake, and was able to get the price down. They moved the house location out of town. Their first plan was to settle here for a little bit, then venture out for their REAL parents.

They'll just ask for the holcan Parents. It seemed risky, but what other plan did they have? None. So that settled it. But it turns out that soon, the holcan parents would come to them.
(Holcan Household)

Korea Holcan sat, thinking. He hopes the shapes were treating their son good. Same for the Moors. He turned to his wife, Manchineel. "Should we go see our children? Will assassins attack them once their retrieved?" He asked.

"No," she said. "I think it will take some time, so we can protect them."
"Then come on into the car with me, we'll go to see them. Maybe the'll be able to protect themselves."
(Bull street)

Jake and Callie were facing a problem.
"School?"
Jake Just shrugged and pulled out a gun.

Callie stared at him. " Where did you get that PISTOL!"

"I've had it since my 13 birthday." He replied plainly.

She stared at it.

He sighed and put it away. "I think we should NOT go to school."

"I think we SHOULD."

Jake frowned. "How?" He Said
"It's not like we $1,500 to pay for College. We're free from high school, so college is next. This gun is NOT worth $1,500 if that's what your thinking."

A car drives up.
"Is this The holcans House?" The driver asks.

"Yes, what do you want?" Shouted Jake.

"Mail!" He Said, handing him a letter.

"Bye now! Hope for a nice honeymoon! Hahahahahaha!!"

Jake frowned at the MailMan's Joke and tore open the letter to find a many HORRIFYING words.

"I know your parents. There coming soon. So it's perfect to give them a Present. That being their dead children." Jake read.

Jake stood there. Callie just gave him the evil eye and said "Time for ad-venture! And adversity! Danger-..."

"No!" Jake Yelled. "Never! Their hunting us! We shall attack when they find!"

Callie looked bored.

"We shall Victor!"

Callie just said: "How??"

He pulled out his gun.

"I shall protect us with this pistol. Very unique gun if you ask me."

"What!?"

"Well, if you ask me."

"That's weak! If they intend to kill us, the'll bring snipers and machine guns, not flimsy pistols!"

"Why?" He asked. "Why waste the bullets if the target is easy?"

She shrugged.

So, This went well. The next chapter is going to be long, promise!
