by Nerv

as it were nerv was on assignment caging an unlikley victim in his grasp,. gripping the side bars of the balcony tightly he edged his way across the guards and positioning himself appropriately, bouncing from balcony to landing in a swooping motion nerv slashed the unsuspecting lookout , the final one before the target, silently across the neck with his dagger. no noise was emitted but nerv knew his cover was blown. a swift roundhouse to head of the first person who stuck it around the corner ahead of his body tearing away at ligaments in the trachea, killing again with a silent detail. no one showed again so with trained heart of a master assassin and true to the order he carried out his mission ….

looking in upon the target he was at first not sure what to expect but a waif of a girl not yet in her prime and not at all young.

he found himself doubting for the first time in a decade.
