Hitwoman (ON HOLD FOREVER)

18

"Where are we?" Tracy asks me, rubbing her eyes as I park by Paul's apartment. Before turning the motor off.

"My friend's apartment," I say and grab my phone and yank my car keys out of the ignition before I open my door and walk out, slamming it shut as soon as I come outside. I walk to the backseat and open the door. I grab the bag filled with weapons and walk towards the trunk and open it. I hear Tracy's door open and I groan before I drag my backpack in the trunk and zip open the biggest compartment. I raise it and put the backpack upside down, pouring all the contents of the compartment out on the trunk while Tray watches me with interest. After I'm finished, i zip open the sniper bag and hear Tracy gasp making me turn to look at her.

"What?" I ask irritatedly, and she keeps staring at the bag in disbelief.

"Did you really have all of that in your house?" I hiss before I turn back to face what I'm doing. I carry the clothes out of the sniper bag and stuff some of them in my backpack. Some cause I don't want to raise any suspicion as to why we have a pest problem at home, and I suddenly stacked up like I want to move in with Paul (while slipping a dessert eagle under the backpack when Tracy's not looking) You never know it might come in handy. After I'm done I zip the backpack close and hitch the backpack on my shoulder before closing the trunk.

"Does your friend really live here?" Tracy asks in a very disbelieving and insulting tone. I take a look at Paul's house and it's actually larger than I remember and for someone who lives alone, it's actually quite impressive. Two floors, a wrap-around porch, and a decently floored lawn. In a way, I'm actually quite jealous. I scratch an itch on my cheek, ignoring Tracy's questions before I start to move towards the door. I turn back and look around and notice people have already started going out for early morning walks and most are jogging. I press the home button on my phone and it lights the screen up. 5:24 am, damn I really need to sleep. (and damn I need to charge my phone)

As I reach the door with Tracy standing by me, I press the doorbell and I immediately start to hear the pounding of feet on the floorboard.

"Don't say a word, I'll handle all the talking, nobody needs to know your true identity or who the hell you're related to, is that clear?"

"Yes ma'am," She says sending me a salute while rolling her eyes a later. I'll get you later for that you little shit. I hear a loud drop on the floorboard and I scoot back a little, my hands in my pocket before the door swings open and Paul is standing at the doorway, covered in flour, wearing an apron with a hideous red bump on his forehead and a charming smile.

"Clau...oh my days. What happened to your face?" He asks pointing at my face while looking at me with a pitiful expression.

"Was joking around with the kid, went too far" I lie while pointing my thumb at Tracy who I'm sure is sending me a death glare.

"What about you?" I say pointing at his forehead and he sighs, placing his hand on his chest.

"As I approached to welcome you to my humble abode, I fell, Ruining my perfect features and now, I'm not good enough for you." He says while putting his hand over his hand like a theatric.

"Shame" I roll my eyes at him before he laughs and gives me a playful punch on the arm, which at this point really hurts like hell.

"I have missed you, Claudia, it's been a while I have seen your massive bo..."

"Be a perv some other time Paul, there's a kid here" I say through using my head to point at her. He nods at me and gives me a thumbs-up before he turns to Tracy and bends down to look at her.

"Where are my manners? Hi, my name is Paul, Paul Walker, and you are?" He asks and Tracy is about to answer before I butt in.

"Elizabeth, her name's Elizabeth," I say and I see her stare at me with the WTF eyes and I shrug in response. While Paul chuckles, shaking his head.
