"You don't give up, do you?" Skull said, stumbling to his feet. Red leaned against the wall, glaring at him. "No, not this time. I'm bringing you down even if I have to go down with you" Red said, ignoring the aches in his body."Fine, you asked for this"Skull clenched his jaw and lunged forward with his knife. The tip of the knife made contact with Red's skin briefly. Red ducked and dodged, arms and feet working swiftly.Outside the room, Vanessa and Axel had caught up with the others. They had a few bruises here and there."What's going on?" Vanessa asked, looking confused."Red is in there with Skull" Vanessa and Axel paled instantly."He's going to get himself killed" Axel said, terrified.He grabbed a fire extinguisher and began to smash the door handle.****Red groaned, clutching his rib section. Skull was a bloody mess, he could barely stand on both feet.Red knew itRelated chapters
Out Of The Blue Epilogue
Dahlia gazed at the beautiful streets of Manhattan from the lobby of the top floor of her husband's company building.She couldn't help but be mesmerized each time she thought of everything they'd gone through to get to this point. Her hand rested on her bulging stomach and she smiled to herself. She could remember the feeling of panic she'd felt when she'd found out that she was pregnant with Arch's first child, seven years ago. She'd been shaken with horror because she couldn't bear to raise a child with his or her father in prison. For the sake of her love for Archer, she'd kept the child. The past seven years has been nothing but hell. She could remember clearly the day he was released from prison.*****Flashback***********Thirteen months earlier, Dahlia hurriedly got her six years old son dressed with her heart thudding madly against her chest. Her son who was a carbon cop
Out Of The Blue One
DAHLIA My life has always been nothing out of the ordinary. I have loving parents, a brother and a loyal bestfriend. I also have a fiance and if things turn out well, after I graduate from college, we'll be getting married. So, yes, you could refer to my life as normal. I sat in the lecture hall, groaning inwardly as professor Finnian began to give lectures on psychology. For truth to be told, there are times when I'll rather listen to my mum's rambling than sit here, listening to Professor Finnian as he lectured us.Most students were distracted, only the most serious ones were listening to him at this point. I'm a third year college student, I'm not supposed to be this nonchalant about this course though. I've never failed a test, exam or a project but I've never been really good at psychology unlike other courses that I study.
Out Of The Blue Two
DAHLIA Bringing the cup of milk shakes to my lips, I slowly typed in the words;'SCORPION'S EYE ORGANIZATION' into the search bar.Biting my lip, I watched several images appear. There were eighteen logos in all. I picked up the card from my desk, gazing at the logo on it.....a scorpion with it's poisonous tail end curved in a perfect arch where a flaming eyeball was located. I shuddered, placing the card on my desk. My gaze rested on the screen of my laptop.Scorpion's eye band, Scorpion's eye production company, Scorpion's eye fraternity.......aha, Scorpion's eye organization.I clicked on it, expecting to get a lot of information but to my greatest surprise, it was a blank page. I picked up the card again.Something wasn't right about it. I probably should stop trying to figure it out.There was a knock on the door and I stood up."Open up, Lia!
Out Of The Blue Three
DAHLIA "Tori, wake up" I said, tapping her arm. She sighed and opened her eyes, glaring at me hotly."If the reason why you woke me isn't important, I'm going to kill you" she threatened."I want to show you something" I said and she raised a brow."Seriously?At this time of the night? Can't it wait?""I'm afraid it can't wait. Sit up" I said to her and she groaned, clearly annoyed."Wh-""Please don't argue, just do it" I said and she heaved another sigh before sitting up on the bed.She let out a frightened shriek when she saw the figure lying on the floor, bleeding buckets."Oh my God. Did you kill him?""See for yourself" I said and she moved away from the bed, to get a better view."Woah, is that who I think it is?" She breathed."Red" I breathed.She paled, kneeling close to my position beside him."What happened to him?""I don't know" I said, taking off his sweatshirt.
Out Of The Blue Four
RED Lee and I were sitting on the couch, watching a James Bond featured movie when my phone vibrated.It was a video call from my boss, Skull.Lee had a nervous expression on his face when I picked the call."Red, is Grim there with you?""Yeah" Lee responded by himself.Skull pursed his lips, looking displeased."I need to talk to Red alone"Lee's eyes widened.I was alarmed too.I mean, ever since I became top major assassin, alongside Lee, Skull would always send us on missions together."But-" Lee's start of an argument was interrupted."It is important that I speak to Red alone. I've decided to give you two, separate missions from now on. Now Lee, I suggest you leave that place" Skull said, his commanding voice, hard and cold.Muttering under his breath, Lee left the sitting room. I heard him bang the door of his room, shut."I have a new mission for you. You are to assa
Out Of The Blue Five
RED "Dude, something's eating you up. You can talk to me, you know" Lee said to me, bringing his cigarette to his lips. I heaved a sigh, shaking my head wearily."It's nothing""Is this about Dahlia?"I froze at the mention of her name. I couldn't bear to think of her, I felt so troubled. How wouldn't I feel troubled? I was supposed to kill an innocent person. How was I supposed to do that?Two days had passed since I saw her at the park. Usually, I would carry out my assignments two days after it was given to me. Five days had passed since I received the new assignment, yet I was still contemplating."Is your assignment giving you a tough time?" Lee asked, genuine concern in his eyes.I heaved another sigh, bringing the bottle of vodka to my lips."Man, you got it bad. Just get on with it, can't you? This has never happened before""It's not that easy, Lee""Okay, you've had enough vodka to last for a life
Out Of The Blue Six
DAHLIA "So, you're telling me you're both assassins?" I asked calmly, trying to wrap my head around what Lee had just told me."Yeah" Tori sat in the corner of the room, clutching a pillow to her chest. She looked really frazzled. I mean, who wouldn't?I heaved a sigh and turned to look at Red who was still lying on the floor, deathly pale and unconscious.Red wass an assassin assigned to kill me. He'd failed.What happens now?I stared at his handsome face, frowning pensively.Deep down within me, I don't think he's all that bad.I mean, he didn't want to do it. He'd even warned me but I'd not understood him.I moved to his side, brushing his hair away from his temple. There was a visible swelling on the side of his head from when Lee had hit him with the butt of his gun. I grabbed an ice pack and went back to his side, pressing it to the lump.Lee whistled dramatically, moving away from the wa
Out Of The Blue Seven
DAHLIA Neither Lee nor Red showed up at school for another week. Maybe they were avoiding Tori and I. Deep down, I felt that Red was planning a more concise attack. I couldn't help but feel insecure. I didn't want to die, not yet."Hey, Lia" Tori said as she walked into our room with a smile on her face. She had been moody ever since Red's attempt to assassinate me. I'm surprised she's back to being her bubbly old self."Hey" I said, leaning back on my chair. "Guess what" she said, smiling."I don't know""Come on, stop being boring. Anyway, I'm going on a date tonight with Rick" she said and I sat upright immediately, spitting out the water in my mouth. "Whoa.....why did you react like that?""It's nothing..... I was just shocked...How did you do it?"As far as I know, Tori has been crushing on Rick, one of the bad boys around. She'd been crushing on him for as long as I remember.
