I actually thought I'd be able to finish the job, that I'd be able to put these past few months behind me. I actually thought that I could look at him through the sight of this blasted gun and not have a second thought about pulling the trigger.
I was wrong, so wrong.
"Ryleigh, we don't have the time for this, take the damned shot," the voice in my earpiece snapped. I continued to watch Niall through the sight, no longer using it to aim, only to watch as he talked with a fan that'd stopped him on the sidewalk.
And that was when I realized that I couldn't do it.
I couldn't finish the job.

Ryleigh Wahl works for the Celebrity Termination Alliance, otherwise known as the 'CTA'. She's a specialized assassin, a murderer of the elite, and she does her job title justice.
When she's given the job of killing Niall Horan of the popular UK boy-band, One Direction, she's convinced it'll be the easiest case she's ever had.
But of course, nothing's ever as easy as it seems.
