"How did things come to this? Where did I loose footing?" These seem to be the only thoughts crossing my mind as my vision began fading. "It's not like it hurts but, things weren't supposed to end up like this. If only I had stuck with what I'd known then maybe… maybe it all would be different, I wouldn't be where I am now. Yet as I lay here in the numb, fading, silence I don't feel what I thought I would. I can't bring myself to regret my choices… But do I blame myself, or you? Where did my fate take a turn for the worse? Was it always planned to be this way or had it been the day we crossed paths?" I asked thinking back, rewinding these past months to what I feel should be the beginning.

My entrance was flawless, with as many guards this place employs you'd think at least a few would actually be good at their job. Yet here I stand directly behind their boss knife drawn prepared to strike with utmost persicion and as I readied my dagger the alarms sounded. "Perhaps I misjudged?" I asked creeping back into the shadows preparing to finish the job and take my leave. My eyes darted to the large screen that displayed live feed from the security cameras. A strange masked man ran through the lobby shooting in all directions laughing at his own banter with the gaurds. Before the Boss could even begin barking out orders I took my chance and slammed my hand over his mouth holding him against his gaudy office chair and plunged the blade into his juggular and twisted it. I tightened my grip as he struggled mere muffles escaping from his open mouth, I released as he finally stopped fighting and with a loud thud his dead body fell limp over his desk. I quickly grabbed the souvenir of my kill and bolted for the door. Gun shots filled the air as the masked man made his way through the halls and with out a second thought I pushed the emergency exit and rushed down the stairs. Emergency personal flooded the building just as I slipped out the back and fled down the alley. "Eventful night?" A raspy voice asked as I turned the corner. "Very funny," I said in annoyance. "What is?" He asked fumbling with a zippo. "Hiring some other gun? Is this some kind of set up or just a really sick way of testing those you employ?" I asked accusingly. "Run into a bit of trouble?" He asked finally lighting his cigarette. "Are you going to answer me or do I have to leave another corpse for the cops to find?" I asked slamming him against the brick wall. "Look I didn't know anything about a second gun, alright? Geez." He said as I released him.

"Not one for competition huh?" He seemed to state more than ask. "Are you going to shut up and hand me my money or continue making ridiculous wise cracks?" I asked as my tolerance to his nonsense wore thin. "Yeah yeah. You got the souvenir?" He asked holding his hand out to which I dug into my pocket and dropped the gaudy ring onto his plam. "Pleasure doing business with you," He smiled taking a long drag and blowing a ring of smoke as he handed me the satchel. We both went our separate ways and it wasn't long before I the sound of sirens rushing by filled the air. "I wonder if that guy got caught?" I asked silently making my way through the streets. Heading into my apartment I tossed the satchel beside my bed and began shedding equipment until my hood and mask remained as I made my way toward the bathroom. Turning on the water and discarding the last of my clothing I showered the past days filth away. Emerging from the steam filled room wrapped in a towel I threw the stachel open and dumped its contents out. Counting out my latest check I had began to dress more comfortably, drying my hair and quickly stuffing it under a fresh masked cowl I headed toward the kitchen. "Strange how many hits are out that are so local. This place is an assasin's paradise," I remarked over looking a few job listings. Swallowing a spoonful of vanilla ice cream as I continued to scan over my new surroundings I sigh. "When I moved out here I didn't think pickings would be so abundant. Not that I'd complain at the easy income but competition will be a bit of a problem and I'm not exactly looking for "friends"." I think to myself taking another spoonful. The next week wasn't very eventful a few high risk jobs, a couple of simple targets, one or two retrieving intelligence jobs. But that simple easy going bliss only a fool would believe to last, and I was fooled.

"What the hell is going on here?" The man in my grasp yelled struggling to break free from my grip. "So you're the one stealing all the good jobs?" The red suited man asked pointing two .45 pistols at me. The man continued flailing his gaze shifting from the man toward me I backed away from the other man dragging the target with me as a meat shield. "W-wait what're you doing?" The man yelled as we neared the balcony of his hotel room. "Hey hey hey. Why don't you just push him towards me and I'll shoot ya then be on my way, huh?" The man in red suggested clearly smiling behind that mask. Without a second thought I threw myself back pulling the man with me, unfortunate that when I grabbed the railing of the balcony I released him. Carefully dropping to the balcony below as the screams of the flailing man ceased with a loud crash I made my way out of the room. Getting by the cops wasn't hard but it was when I found myself in the clear did I encounter the other hired gun. "That was my man and with out him alive I forfeit my pay," He said annoyed. I simply stared at him and with a swift motion dodged as he swung toward me. "So now I got a score to settle," He yelled swinging at me again. This time I had caught his foot as he kicked but was thrown back from his punch. Shaking myself I readied myself but this time he simply started shooting which was easy to block as I put up a force field. "What force field? That's not fair!" He yelled teleporting attempting to find a blind spot but I stood unscathed. Having enough I slammed him against the side of a building with my force field and began to step towards his limp figure. Stepping out into the milky light I watched his eyes travel up and down me. "Well well had I known you were such a sight, we might've avoided all this," He said in a flirtatious tone. "Look why don't we just forget about all of this and go out for dinner? I know this wonderful taco place…" He said in a sensual tone sliding his arm around my shoulder.

I moved away from him which only earned a hearty chuckle. "Don't be shy… I don't bite, too ofter or hard." He said trying to close the distance between us. A soft thud sounded from the ground as his head rolled past my feet, quickly returning my blade to my side and leaving. I heard his voice yelling and stopped dead in my tracks, slowly turning around I'd seen his headless body scrambling to pick up his still talking head only kicking it around. The sight might've been funny if it were a cartoon but I was quickly pulled from my thoughts as something hit my foot and I looked down to see his head staring straight up at me. "Hey a little help here?" He asked but in a panic I simply punted his head which went pretty far and took my leave while I still had the chance.
