"you're entrusting me to find a fucking robin hood wannabe?"
you swear, scoffing with a smirk filled with disbelief on your face. scarlett's eyebrows crease before she straightens herself, crossing her arms,
"he isn't just any robin hood, he's an assassin and a thief. one of our girls walked his path and boom, three arrows to the neck, chest, and thigh. he's a threat to this company and chairwoman wants YOU specifically to deal with it,"
scarlett explains as you flip through the pictures of a fellow coworker bloodied up with deep wounds. a knot ties in your throat, feeling the anger clog your lungs. you then flip to the last picture, studying it carefully. it was an arrow engraved with familiar writing on it.
"this arrow, do you know what it stands for?"
you ask pointing to it, showing the woman the picture. scarlett shakes her head,
"we asked almost everyone and no one recognised it, it's chinese but the words just translate into some type of gibberish and numbers,"
you look at the picture again,
"it's a special code chinese assassins from xeishen used in order to mark their weapons. you just switch the characters around from right to left... then take the numbers, add all and take away the last number, and find the letter that belongs to the number. huang renjun... it spells out,"
you say, your finger gliding over the printed paper. scarlett looks at you with wide eyes before grabbing onto your shoulders tightly,
"GENIUS!"

and there... you casually sat on top of a building in your designated area. you were dressed in a black hoodie, leggings, and black boots. you were protected by a waist holster under your hoodie which allowed you to store items in. you flip a throwing knife in your hands as you lean against your backpack which was pressed against the short wall of the house rooftop.
you take the cylinder case out of your bag, placing it on the floor in front of you. you unbuckle it, unrolling it as you observe the weapons neatly inserted into their pouches. you take a few knives and place them in the pouches wrapped around your body, making sure they weren't poking you by wriggling around. you attach a leg holster around your right thigh, placing the knife in the lower strap and more throwing knives in the upper. you clip another holster on your left, also storing the knives and the bow there. you quickly throw the quiver over your shoulder, securing it.
