Chapter 2

I walked back into the small room that was supposed to be the “workers place”. Really it was just a small green room with a couch and a table, along with a coffee machine and a sink.

What was up with these weird names? First the person called Gates and the other person, called Rev started argue over a coffee, and then there was a person called Shadows. The two last ones had the closest to earth names; Zacky and Johnny.

I sat down in the couch and sighted. The group of people had been talking loud, broken half a dozen glasses and there was a miracle that the rest of the people in the cafe hadn’t complained yet. Though, there wouldn’t be long until I’d throw them out anyway.

 I drank up the rest of the water I had in the glass right in front of me. The cold water felt refreshing in my mouth before I swallowed it. I slowly walked out of the small green room and entered the cafe again.

The five guys were still sitting there, talking about music and arguing over stuff I couldn’t even imagine. I walked over to their table and suddenly it became that awkward silence again.

“I’s there anything more you want?” I asked them, looking from person to person. The first guy at the left side was the really small one, with a Mohawk, going by the name Johnny. Next to him were the tall guy, named Rev and beside him, Gates. On the other side of the table were the one called Shadows, covered in tattoos, and next to him the guy called Zacky.

“Naah, I’m not gonna have anything more” Shadows said and smiled at me. “Me neither” all of them eventually said after each other. “Fine” I said and looked at them, waiting for them to leave. “So..You’re not going to leave?” I asked after a while.

“Whoa, I think she wants us to leave” Gates said and got up from the chair. “No, no no no, I just” I started but was cut off by Gates again, “oh, well then we stay”. “No wait” I started but realized I had just asked them to leave twice. Gates laughed a bit and I just gave him a death glare. “Don’t worry, we’ll leave, won’t we guys?”

They all got up and got their jackets and walked towards the entrance. “Haha, we have to go here more” Zacky said and they all laughed a bit before they walked out of the door. I sat down at the table they’d just left, feeling embarrassed.

I started to clean up the mess, and soon after I decided to close off the cafe and head back home. I was not in the mood for staying there anymore, and I knew I had a mission later that night.

I had just changed to my black t-shirt with skull on and was just about to grab my leather jacket on top of it. It had gone some hours since I left the cafe, and I was ready to get the mission done.

According to my sources there was a guy that was needed to get killed as soon as possible. Usually I never went by private missions, though this person offered me a big sum of money to get the guy killed. Why not?

I headed over to my car. It was black and not that easy to spot when it was dark outside. That’s why I’d gone for this car exactly. I started the engine and drove off to the person that had to get killed.

When I finally got to the house, or should I say mansion, I turned off the engine and sat there a few minutes, getting ready for what was about to happen. I got my guns, yes I always had an extra one with me, and headed silently out of the car.

I took of my leather jacket, leaving me in my black jeans and a black sweater. I wouldn’t be spotted if I didn’t have to. I had my hair tied up in the back and grabbed a flashlight and a pair of glasses. The glasses was just for “hiding”.

I closed my car carefully and walked up to the gate. The place was huge. Or, it wasn’t the biggest, but it was bigger than my apartment, but hell, everything must be bigger than my apartment anyway.

I sneaked around the house, looking for an useful entrance. I found a back door and opened it carefully. Weirdly enough it was already open to my suprise. I opened the door and took a look inside. I found myself in a room filled of random stuff. A spare room?

I looked around. There was nothing useful in there so I walked over to the second door, which would lead me deeper into the house. Behind the door was a hallway. To the left was a big living room and an open kitchen, to the right there was an open door, showing there was a bathroom inside.

I walked a little further, up the stairs and through the next hallway. I had my gun in front of me all the time, along with the flashlight. The clock was almost 2am and it was completely dark in the house, except some small lights in the stairway, hallway and bathroom.

To the left was another open door. I sneaked over to it and looked inside. It looked like the master bedroom. In the middle of the room was a big bed. I walked over there, really quiet. Once I reached the end of the bed I realized there was no one in it. I freezed. Was the person that lived here awake? Had he heard me?
