Mystery
Aiden aimed his pistol at the strange man standing in his living room, unwavering. The man looked at him, his cold slate-colored eyes darkening beneath the scar over his brow as he held the glass of bourbon in his hand, his other hand in his pocket. "What is it you stand for, Mister Garrett?" The strange man asked. Aiden paused at the strange question. He didn't know how to answer, or why he felt like he should answer. "That's what I thought," the stranger said with a small, mocking smile. "This...job of yours, it just doesn't do it for you anymore, does it? A few targets here, some bodies there...At first, it was a rush---now it's just become monotonous, hasn't it?" Aiden was becoming increasingly nervous at this stranger's knowledge of his life. He wondered how much more he knew. "I'm offering you a second chance here, kid." The stranger eyed his drink as he swirled it a bit. "A chance to do some good and make good changes in the world." Aiden suddenly found his voice. "And if I don't take your offer?" "Then, you're as useless to us as the people you worked for," the stranger said as he took another sip of his bourbon. "Your skills are valuable, Mister Garrett, but this job I'm offering to you is more for your sake than mine." Dark slate eyes darkened even further as they bore through Aiden's own. "You may be one in a million, but that just means there are seven thousand others out there just like you."

"Shit!" I muttered under my breath. He pulled open the door and headed for me with a smile that made my skin crawl. I withdrew my gun from my bag and hid it under the table. "Ah Blake Reid. At last we meet!" He pulled out the chair directly across from me. "Who are you and why have you been following me?" I growled. "I'm the man who is going to kill you," he gave me a masochistic smile. I withdrew my gun from its place under the table. It was pointed between his eyes and I took pleasure in the shock that was on his face. He had only gotten his gun halfway out. The staff was still unaware of me holding a gun to this man's head because they were all around back in the kitchen. "Sorry, but that's just not going to happen," I said sweetly. "In such a public place? How brazen of you," he challenged in a shaky voice. "Yes, all the staff is in the back where they can't see us. Oh and if you didn't notice, there's a silencer on my gun. Say good-bye my dearie," I pulled the trigger and sent the bullet through his head. Blake Reid isn't your normal 17 year old. She's an assassin on her last case... or so she hopes. She is having difficulty with memories of her past and can't seem to get out of her shell, even though that is one of the biggest assets needed for her assignment. She will also face many obsticales; some of which she may not survive. Join her in the choas and death she calls her life. (Cover created by Vico96, an amazing friend of mine. Check him out!)
