Recap
“It's from the government, you idiot!” Eagle said. But even they were confused as to what they were saying.
Blaze and Blade looked at each other, bewildered.
“Fuck.” Blaze said.
“Don't you know any appropriate word!” Scolded Eagle. While Blade's lower jaw was touching the floor.

"Ash! C'mere right now. There's a cockroach in the bathroom! Kill it!" Ashley heard her younger sister's Jenny's voice as she styled her blond hair.
Jenny screamed at the top of her lungs. Just when she started to undress and hummed her favorite song, she spotted a big, fat, ugly, roach crawling the white marble floors of her bathroom. She pulled back her white T-shirt on her 15 years old, 5 ft. self and ran out of the bathroom, carefully avoiding the creepy being and grabbing her light brown hair.
“What? Where?!” Ash appeared in all her 6 ft glory. She rolled up the sleeves of her galaxy themed shirt, reveling her tattooed, muscly arms. Arms, which she worked hard in the gym to gain. She pulled her lip ring gently with her long caramel coloured fingers and resting her index finger on her sharp jawline. She looked around in confusion.
“There! See!” Jenny pointed at the roach. Ash gave Jenny an “Are-you-serious?” look with her deep blue eyes and clenched her sharp jaw.
While Jenny was holding eye contact with her older sister. She shared the same deep blue eye colour as her sister but her skin was lighter than Ash. She also didn't have an eyebrow slit or a metal on her lip. What she had was beautiful curves, the type which appeared after entering into adulthood but she grew up fast.
Ash sighed and said, “Wait, let me get the dustpan.”
She then appeared after a while and very gently lifted the cockroach with the dustpan, without touching it and threw the creature her sister was freaking out about outside her kitchen window.
“You could have just killed it.” Jenny said, completely annoyed with her sister's ways.
“Hurting someone weaker than you seems easy. But it the most inhumane thing you can do. That roach did not hurt you, did it? You just wanted it gone. So as long as you can achieve your goal without hurting others, you should not try to hurt anyone.” Ash said with as much honesty as she can and then flashed her perfect smile.
Jenny rolled her eyes. She wanted to smack that smile off her sister's face.
“I hope you fall in love with an assassin.” Jenny cursed, getting a blank expression in response from Ash.
“Are you going to that gay bar ?” Jenny asked and looked up at their wall clock 8:30, it read. That meant it was the time for Ash to visit her favorite bar which she did every Saturday. Gay bars were not at all legal in their country, if people from the government come to know about this they will try to execute everyone in association with it. Jenny worried about her sister but she never said it.
“Yes, I look cool. Don't I?” Ash said and gestured at her get-up, her galaxy themed shirt and a black jeans matched with her black socks and black sneakers.
“Just leave already, go and finger someone or do whatever.” Jenny said. She just wanted a few hours of peace. She had a novel to write which was impossible with Ash around. It wasn't like she didn't like spending time with her sister. After their parent's death in a car accident, Ash was the only family member Jenny was left with.
“Oh Shut Up! You don't know how it's done.” Ash said embarrassed.
“Of course I know how lesbians have sex. Wattpad taught me everything.” Jenny said. It was now her turn to grin. While ash looked at Jenny horrified and left her house.

“Are you sure you'll be okay? It's the first time you are going into a bar.” Blade asked Blaze who was sitting on the passenger's seat in the car driven by Blaze.
“Yeah. I have got this. It's a simple pick up. Just pick me up on time.” Blaze told Blade and got down from the car.
“I would have been with you if it wasn't for Alyssa. You know I can't leave her alone at night. She gets scared.” Blade said, reminding Blaze of Alyssa, Blade's fifteen year old sister. She looked like the miniature version of Blade. But unlike Blade, Alyssa was someone whom one want to protect.
“I know Blade. Now just shooo-shooo go away. Let me do my work. Recieving a pen drive from someone won't take much time anyways.” Blaze said as she strengthened her sleeveless silver dress which reached till her mid thigh. She then took a glance at her black boots in which she hid her gun.
"Since you are going into a bar, try to have some fun alright.” Blade suggested before leaving Blaze alone in the night in front of ‘Duck and Smile,’ the lesbian underground bar.
All the gay bars were underground situated as they were illegal. Blaze sighed, thinking that she lives in a world where love is illegal. But her reality would never revolve around love.
Blaze turned around and breathed the night air. There was a time when she feared the night, more like the ones who roamed around in the night. She feared the monsters hidden under the skin of harmless people. Today, she was someone whom Clary would be terrified from. She was her own demon.
Blaze walked towards the bar looking and observing every other woman there. Others seemed to be having fun. Completely oblivious to the dangers they could be facing if the government got a hint about their existence. Maybe they weren't oblivious, maybe they were just ignorant, ignorant for one night.
Blaze entered into ‘Duck and Smile,’ she found the bar's name completely hideous. She looked at the pink lights that illuminated the bar. Loud music could be heard from the DJ which was overpowering the people's chatter.
Blaze came across two girls kissing each other passionately and her heart rate immediately intensified. If it would have been people fighting, she would have acted differently. But when someone shows affection to each other, she becomes oddly nervous.
“Was this the type of fun Blade was talking about?” Blaze thought. The only fun she had was when she practiced fighting and shooting with Blaze and her other accomplices in W.I.P.E.O.U.T's training zone. She could never imagine having this kind of fun.
She tried to divert her mind from the weird thoughts she was having by memorising all the things she came here to do.
Step 1: Find the woman who wants
to give me the important
pen drive.
Step 2: Retrieve that pen drive
from her.
Step 3: Call Blade.
Step 4: Go back to W.I.P.E.O.U.T
and handover the pen
drive to Eagle safely.“Easy.” She thought. It was better than killing someone. It was just an ordinary, boring delivery. But still she remained nervous. There was an unsettling feeling in her.
“Blaze relax, nothing can go wrong. You are feeling tense just because of the atmosphere.” Blaze said to herself out loud. She was trying to make herself believe that nothing can go wrong.
