Roxy

The year is 2062. Place, Jericho, Texas.

I pulled out my pistols and loaded them before sliding him in my thigh holsters.
Taking my helmet off I got off of my bike and sat it on the seat.

I started walking towards the compound when I noticed two guys. I quickly took cover before falling into the shadows.

I pulled my knife and slit ones throat before throwing it into the others eye ball.

I walked through the entrance and it was almost too quiet.
"You know I've been dying to actually meet you face to face" I heard her call out.

I held up my fists, "then come get your ass kicked"

I heard a shotgun cock. "You First"

"Roxy come in?" My coms rang in my ear.

"Hello Elliot, what can I do for you today?" I asked him as I grabbed my towel and wiped the sweat off my face.

"I'm sending you a new job. She seems to be top priority right now. Boss wants her alive." He said.

I walked towards my laptop and powered it on. "And if he wants her alive why in the hell is he making an assassin do this job isn't that why he has poachers and cleaners?" I asked waiting for the file to load.

"Well what ever the case you have 72 hours to get it done. Boss wants her alive." He said before the line went silent.

I read the file once it popped up and looked at her file. "Mmm, former MI6, I love a good fight." I said before walking off to shower.

I walked to the closet and pulled out my black leather pants, a red tank top and my leather jacket.

I got dressed and pulled on my black heeled boots. I then walked to my other closet and typed in the pin on the keypad. It opened revealing all my weapons.

I grabbed my two thigh holsters and my 45s. I loaded them and secured them. I then grabbed my belt that holds my knives and extra clips and put it on. I grabbed my knives and clips and secured them and walked over to the dresser inside of the closet and opened the first drawer revealing my glasses and shades.

I grabbed my black and chrome aviators before walking out of the closet. It closed and locked itself as I exited the room. I walked down the stairs into the foyer and noticed my front door was open. I smirked and looked around. I heard footsteps behind me and I took a breath before turning and throwing a knife in one felt swoop. He caught it and smirked. "I have practiced that move for months, they told me you like your knives." He said before throwing it to the ground and walking towards me.

I stood up and cracked my neck. "You know I'm actually glad you're here. I'm in need of a warmup." I said before bringing my foot to his jaw. I punched him in his throat and kicked the back of his knee causing him to buckle to the floor.

I wrapped my arm around his throat and got close to his ear. "That's what they always tell everyone who walks to their deaths, I'm really good when it comes to knives but did you ask them about my combat skills?" I whispered before breaking his neck.

I heard clapping from behind me and I turned pulling my guns out. she threw her hands up. "Now Roxy, is that any way to treat an old friend?" she asked. I chuckled. "You're right. I really should work on that." I said before shooting her in the kneecap.

She screamed in pain as she fell to the floor. I walked past her and shot her in the head before holstering my guns. I walked out of the garage and removed the tarp from my bike before starting it.

I walked over to the gun cabinet and opened it. I placed my thumb on the fingerprint scanner and waited for confirmation. "Self destruct sequence initiated, you have 30 seconds to vacate the premises."

I got on the bike and put the helmet on before pulling off down the driveway. I heard the explosion behind me and smirked as I rode towards Texas.

Not the best first chapter but it does leave quite the room for imagination. Now this book is going to be written and published completely out of my comfort zone. I am going to be writing this book in the more natural aspect compared to all of my other supernatural books, however this book will be typed, edited, and published on my laptop instead of my phone. It will be written in ONLY 2 perspectives, 1 of which you just met. Now seeing as how this is a book about assassins it will most definitely take a while before you get either backstory for the characters. I do hope you like the 1st chapter cause there is many more to come, I look forward to writing something new that's grabbing my attention!! HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY, AS ALWAYS STICK AROUND FOR THE RIDE AND IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!!
