Faster! Move faster!

“There he is! Shoot him!”

I cursed as a shot grazed my upper arm. They weren’t keeping their chill anymore. Rion wanted me dead, no doubt about it. Nash would have my head for not telling him there were people out for my blood. That was all the motivation I needed to run quicker.

  • The Liberal Assassin   Epilogue

    “Hurry up! Haute Couture won’t carry themselves!”Scowling at the shrill scream from the office, I hollered back twice as loud. “I have only one pair of arms you fussy old hag! Why don’t you help me out instead of braiding measuring tapes!”The bespectacled tiny woman hopped off the desk and strode over to smack me with a ruler. Hands posed on hips with a menacing glare, Lisa poked me in the chest with a bony finger.“This is your fashion show! You take pride in delivering these clothes. I don’t care who you were, you’re now my one and only disciple. The great Lisa Lishan’s legacy depends on you. Don’t you start getting cold feet now! Show them what you can do, Titus.”Confidence radiated from the sm

    It wasn’t as chaotic as it was noisy. The plan devised by Khronos had been simple and Io was more than willing to help. The reporter was now outside of my door, talking over the loud crowd.Spencer was at the front line, restraining the mob that demanded my release from the official arrest. The door to my apartment remained the only barrier between the Night Walker and the rest of Luna.“... as you can see, the situation is tense. The Night Walker has yet to make his appearance but we are certain he will surrender soon. The head of Patrol Guards, Spencer Creed, is ready to arrest Titus Crowley – the Night Walker and former CEO of Luna Services. Mr Creed, what do you have to say about the situation?”Spencer barely glanced at Io or the camera, focused on ensuring his orders were being carried

  • The Liberal Assassin   Chapter 26

    Soft. The ground was too soft and it was warm too!As the sleepy haze cleared and my senses sharpened, I became more aware of my surroundings. There was movement in the room and the lights were too bright. Stabbing pain reminded me why I should have pretended to be asleep. Surely that groan has alerted the guards on duty.“Titus, are you awake?” the gentle yet familiar whisper shocked me into opening my eyes again.I cursed once at the pain but never stopped trying to verify if it was really him.My voice was hoarse from both emotions. Those forest green eyes were too real to be a mere dream. The same smell of snow and steel greeted me and I knew it hadn’t been a dream.“Nash!”

  • The Liberal Assassin   Chapter 25

    I know it sounded dramatic to complain about waking up to a dull throb at the back of my skull and a sharp pain in the back of my neck but I really couldn’t care about my image. The current predicament didn’t permit it.Used to waking up to the white walls, staring at a grey one had been a shocker. I might have jolted a little but nobody is complaining. It’s not a surprise to see how my arms were locked together in a very cold and heavy metal chain. I twisted a little to test the strength of my confines and groaned mentally. My heart sank after accessing my situation and running through my available options. The captors certainly knew who they were dealing with. The hidden knife I had was useless against metal restraints.Lying on the uncomfortable ground in a dimly lit room, I stared at the laser bars. Running through them would be suicidal a

    Upon reaching my destination, the sight of Alastair greeted me. With air sprawled around his head like a halo, body curled up on a nearby couch with a slight rise and fall of his chest and a relaxed expression on his face, it made me slightly envious of his oblivion to the chaos outside.“The next two corridors are clear for you to proceed. Once you get there, place that device on top of the electronic locks and give them the charged orbs I handed you.”I heard Nash’s reply from the cramped sitting area and glanced over to Khronos’ workstation. The scientist trained his eyes on the screen, observing an insane amount of cameras. Seeing Khronos working gave off a vastly different experience from hearing him while on the job. The man’s brows were knotted in deep focus at the screens and rapidly firing away at the keyboard while occasi

    Faster! Move faster!“There he is! Shoot him!”I cursed as a shot grazed my upper arm. They weren’t keeping their chill anymore. Rion wanted me dead, no doubt about it. Nash would have my head for not telling him there were people out for my blood. That was all the motivation I needed to run quicker.“Titus! What do you think you’re doing? Get back to base now!”Wincing at the sheer volume, I reached for the mute button.Just as I rounded a corner, a new group of men decked in Luna Security uniforms appeared. They didn’t have much time to react when Baby Blue covered the area. I needed a diversion…Up ahead was an alley, perfect for

  • The Liberal Assassin   My Teacher - Nash Skinner

    "You've been really quiet for a while.""It is for good reasons. I trust that you are doing well under Ignacio's leadership?"Nash sighed and sank into his new fluffy couch. "Not really. There are still shareholders who disapprove of someone from the Slums an

  • The Liberal Assassin   Resignation (1)

    Two months hurtled by and the weather had gone from cold to butt-numbing freezing. No one ventured outside willingly, not even the Night Walker who preferred spending his days cooped up in an office.Throwing the pen down with a noisy clatter, I threw my hands up and let it flo

  • The Liberal Assassin   Luna Services At Your Call

    Felix made good of his word and Luna Services was completely revamped within a month. All necessary legal and administrative matters were taken care of, all I needed to do was sign some agreements and the company ready to be incorporated as a monolith that occupied an entire Area district beside

  • The Liberal Assassin   Acceptance (2)

    An unfamiliar ceiling…As my brain started to function I felt warm. There was a blanket and I was in someone else's bed. The room was dark and I had no clue where I was. The first thing I did was to check my clothes.Nope. Everything was still intact as when I arri
