2. Mission begins

Episode 2

              Anna's POV

I flinched out of my memories as tears flow freely from my eyes. Even Anita cried along. I had vowed not to shed tears anymore but right now I just can't control it.

"Anita they took my family from me. They took away everything that I treasured and left me homeless" I cried.

She hugged me as I cried profusely on her shoulder.

 "Hush. It is okay. It is okay" She sniffed and gently ran her hand through my hair.

Anita was an assassin when I met her. I had met her six years ago when I was still living in the streets as a beggar. She saw how dirty I look, had pity on me and took me in..

Anita introduced me into the world of the assassins. But later she retired and is now married to a retired assassin named Philip Tyson..She is just like an elder sister to me.

I broke off from the hug. "Sorry, I shouldn't have cried on your shoulder. It's so embarrassing" I forced a smile.

" It is okay but does this mean that you are not going to..uhm... Kill anymore?" Anita stuttered.

" What? Of course I will." I snapped. " I will be leaving now, I am almost late" 

"Anna wait! I think you should stop the revenge stuff. " She calmly said.

" Urgh! Are we seriously still having this conversation?"

"Yeah! We have to. When do you plan to stop killing people"

"People?" I repeated in disbelief. " I am not just killing people. I am killing murderers! Those fuckin' people snatched my family from me" I almost yelled. " I will take every godamn thing away from them,including their miserable lives" 

"But for how long will you keep on killing them? Come on dear, you have your own life to live"

"Life?" I scoffed. " I don't have a life to live..My life is only centered on revenge, if I don't do that, then there's no need of being alive"

" No.. don't do this to yourself! Please just stop already. Please" She sadly said and took my hand in hers but I jerked off her hand.

"I am not going to stop until every last one of them is wiped out from the surface of the earth" I yelled. " And I will be glad if you don't try to stop me"

She palmed her forehead. " You're so stubborn headed. I just hope you come across someone who would speak some senses into your dumb skull"

I gave her a wry smile. She shook her head and walked out. 

"Good riddance" 

As soon as she left, I locked the door. I sauntered to the end of the room at the left side. I took up the curtain which I had used to cover the door which leads to my secret mission room. I had made the door look like the wall so no one could notice.

I looked up into the face recognizing device which was hidden above the door. The device beeped and the door cracked open.I got in and the door shut behind me.

I took a closer look at the wall which was covered with the pictures and names of my enemies.. I ran my hands through them as revenge and anger surged through my bones.

I brought out the piece of cloth which dad had given to me..There were five names on the cloth..The top on the list was Mr Philip Thompson..His pictures had already been pasted on the wall by me..

I had secretly stalked him, did some online research and was able to find out about his company,house,and some personal details which can help me plan my mission..I brought a lighter from my pocket and set one of his pictures on fire..

"Get ready Mr.Philip! I'm coming for you" I said and burst out laughing as I watch the picture burn to ashes...

             Mr Philips POV

I and my body guards were driving down to my company when the car suddenly starts moving in zig- zag..

"What's wrong?" I asked..

"I'm sorry sir but the brake has failed" The driver said still trying to control the car. 

"Failed? But I instructed you to always check the car properly every morning" I yelled..

"I did that sir! When I checked it this morning,it was working..I don't know what happened" 

"You bloody fool! If I survive this accident, I'm gonna make your life miserable" I yelled...

"Arrghhhhh" We screamed as the car dived into a nearby bush and collides with a tree.My head banged on the car and my visions became blurry. Just when I was about to become unconscious, I saw a lady's face.

"Sir! Sir!!" I heard her say..

"Help me!!" I muttered before I finally became unconscious..

I opened my eyes. Some drips were connected to my hands although I wasn't really feeling deep pains. I turned to see Clara my wife, sitting beside me on the bed.

"Thank Goodness you're awake" She said, smiling..

"What happened? And what am I doing here?" I slowly said as I struggled to sit up on the bed.

"Careful honey" She said, assisting me.

"You had an accident but was saved by a lady" 

"A lady? Where's she?"

"She's in the waiting room,I'll go bring her" She replied and walked out. I let out a sigh and laid back on the bed. 

Just then,the doctor came in.

"Good day Mr Philip. How're you feeling now?" The doctor asked with a wide smile.

"I'm fine doctor. Thank you"

"You should be grateful to the kind lady that saved you. If she didn't bring you here on time,you would have bled to death. Anyway,you didn't sustain much injury so you'll be discharged tomorrow" the middle aged doctor said. Merely looking at him, we should be of the same age.

"Oh! Thanks doctor"

"My pleasure. I will leave you to rest now, if you want anything do let me know or you can call any of the nurses" He instructed, walking out.

After a while,my wife came in with a pretty young lady. She was shabbily dressed, must be a low life.

"She's the lady" my wife said.

" Good afternoon sir" She greeted with her head slightly bowed.

" Good afternoon..what's your name?"

" My name is Tina henry"

" I heard that you saved my life."

"It is nothing sir."

Nice! She is not really egocentric. If she had thrown it to my face about how she saved me, I would have been forced to humble her. 

"So,what do you want in return?" I asked.

"I'm okay sir..I don't want anything" 

I raised my eyebrows, surprised. Did she just say she wants nothing? Impressive.

"Oh..Anyways thanks." 

Just then her phone beeped.

"Excuse me sir"She brought out her phone and after going through it, she started crying.

"What's wrong?" My wife asked.

"My..my landlord has sent me packing..I don't have anywhere to go to" she cried. So dramatic! My wife gave me a " do something" look. I let out a sigh.

"How much is your rent? I'll pay it" I offered.

"No sir! I can't take any money from you..I'm not a beggar" 

Huh? 

"Okay! But you can stay at my house right?" My wife interrupted.

" No thanks.. I'll think of another way" The weird lady said.

" Come on dear! You've just saved my husband and this is the only way we can repay you. Please don't say No" Clara insisted.

"Okay ma! But only for three days.."

"No problem! You can stay as long as you want" 

My wife is so dramatic. Is she seriously bringing a weird stranger into our home?. 

"Thank you ma but three days is enough for me to accomplish my mission" 

"Mission? What do you mean by that?" I fired.

"Huh? What I meant is that, getting a new house is now my mission..so three days is enough for me to accomplish that" She chuckled.

I nooded my head still looking at her suspiciously.
