I'm alone sitting in my seat gazing through the small window into the cluttered clouds. My face rest against my hand as I'm in deep thought. Currently I'm soaring through the sky in a plane, however this plane isn't those typical kind of plane but a military type of plane. It can be said that this plane is the size of a small jet.

Accompanying the seat next to me is a pitch black, silvered-lined case with my standard weapons inside of it, you know the typical type of weapons of choice such as a dual set of pitch-black desert eagles, a hunter's dagger, and ultra silent sniper rifle custom- made. Yep, pretty typical weapons of choice according to my current profession.

I stayed gazing out the window in daze as I watch the moon slowly overtake the sun in the sky. It was a beautiful scene, streaks of pink and orange colors painted across the sky but sadly all good things must come to an end. Heaving a sigh of rather disappointment I begin to adjust my outfit trying to make it more comfortable on my body.

"Mr. Lewis, we'll be arriving at the location in approximately 4 minutes."

My thoughts is interrupted by a beautiful female flight attendant that appeared to my side and whispered to my ear, I recognized her voice. Her name is Eve rains, a rather strange name but hey, don't judge someone by their names. For instance me, my name is Arthur Lewis. Just from the sound of my name many people immediately link it up with someone that like books or something. Which I believe is just too idiotic and prejudice.

Well, anyways after nodding towards Eve, she left while I quickly got ready for my mission. My current profession is not an assassin, but rather instead a commander of an secret elite force under the direct jurisdiction of the president. Not too many people know about this, however even if they find out they'd immediately be silence. Using this time I polished the guns and knife inside the case in a quick fashion, I shut it close and got up from the seat. Strapping a solid black parachute on me, I open the hinge on the door to the plane.

Violent wind threaten to sweep me off my feet but I stand firm similar to unmoving mountain that is constantly getting bombarded by fierce wind , a rock solid pillar. I focus my eyes downwards; tall buildings and skyscrapers appeared in my view bathe in different color lights. Shifting my parachute around while I quickly scan building to building trying to find the others of my squad, It didn't take long before I notice a fleeting flash of light from a huge building and immediately determine that it was the signal from the others.

"Even after doing this for many years, I still can't get used to parachuting down from this kind of height." I silently muttered to and quickly drew a session of quick breath calming myself. Yes, I'm afraid of heights but in order to become a man you'll have to go through unfortunate obstacles and preserve. Sheesh, I must sound like an elderly man giving advice to teenagers which I'm myself, well if you subtract the one from eighteen then I'll be.

Gathering courage, I jump off the plane and immediately descended towards the building as wind furiously impacted my body which strangely was rather comfortable. After being at least 20 meters away, I pull the string of the parachute and glided towards the building. Within seconds I landed on the rooftop and see four others dress smiliar to me; standing and saluting to me with unblinking eyes. I couldn't help but smile, these people are the people who'd went through countless life and death experience with me over the pass years, and also one of them is my lover.

I saluted back, and laugh "Dustin, Max, Jeanna, Catherine, How have you guys been these past months," for the past half a year also, I've been on special solo mission and didn't had much time talk or see any of them. It was just a day ago I came back from the mission and was immediately was deported to this mission.

Dustin is the oldest out of all of us, he's 32 years old, Max is 26 years old, Jeanna, she's 28 years old, and lastly my lover, Catherine is 22 years old.

Dustin smiled and spoke "We've been doing well, commander. We're surprise to see you come back from your mission but we're glad see you live and kicking " he chuckled.

Standing next to him Catherine nods "Hehe, I happy to so you again, honey bear" I can see stars dancing her eyes as she spoke. Back then I wondered how she became part of the secret force, but after the first mission we've completed I didn't wonder about anymore. Now I truly believe the logic "the more cheerful a person seem to be, the deadlier they are". Shaking my head slightly, I spoke "Nice to see you again, Honey bun."

Seeing us like this, Max couldn't take it anymore and turn to Jeanna "I'm so glad we aren't like them, isn't that right. Jen."

Jeanna frowned "Humph! Weren't a thing and stop calling me Jen or that will be last thing you say!"

"Sure thing, Jen."

"Y, you!"

Unintentional my mouth formed into a cheeky smile, watching the comedy act between these two is really refreshing, but  I should really stop her before he end up dying, "Ok, Ok, let's focus at the task at hand, Dustin recap what we've to do on this mission."

"Yes commander, The world known gang leader, Brax, should be in the building across from us, our mission is to capture and bring him back alive" he spoke.

Satisfied, I nod and look towards Max "Give me a sound enhancer, I don't have mine" Immediately he nods, rummage through his bag and pull out a small ear piece. Taking it from his hand I attach it to my ear and sightly adjust it to make it more comfortable.

With a smile, I nod towards Max I close my eyes as I inhale a deep breathe and exhale through my nose, opening my eyes I look at the group of people standing in front of me with perplex emotions. Today could be the last I see any of them, I could pretty much die or maybe they would instead of me.. it's better not to jinx anything.  "OK, Jeanna look over to the building with the scope and tell me how many enemies they are"

"Yes, sir" she replied and took action. Squatting down, I take out the parts to my sniper and piece them together. After I did that, I got into a comfortable position and look through the scope of my sniper and aim it towards the building.

"Commander, there are approximately four personnel on the rooftop," Jeanna said in hushed voice.

" Are they in close proximity? Is there any thing else I need to know" I ask calmly while I calculated many different strategies to infiltrate the building. She shook her head "No, their are not in close proximity to one another other." Nodding, I begin stabilize my breathing so I can aim more accurate, sniping is just like football, it's a job(game) of inches. One mistake can lead up to that person or squad demise.

Gazing through the scope, I aim towards one of the black-suited personnel and pull the trigger. Like a low whistle, the bullet flew from sniper and furiously penetrated into the person head. "Targets, down. Three personnel left" Jeanna commented, and once again focus on the building.

I repeated this course of action until all the personnel was slain by my sniper. "Come on lets go," I whispered to everyone which each of them replied by slightly nodding their head.

.....

My back is against the wall to the exit of the roof of the building. Behind me is naturally my teammates who's quietly following my orders. Hehe, I couldn't be any happier with the team I'm with now. Slightly opening the door next to me, I put a mirror though the crack of the door to see if there are any incoming enemies and which this case there wasn't.

Giving the signal that it was ok, I open the door and quickly rush in side with the dual set desert eagles in both my hands. "Ok, stick together guys. Don't make any unnecessary movement and stay stealthily as possible," I reminded them which they reply with a slight nod.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"Who was the man that enter the office with the boss"

"I don't know but I heard he's influential, so I guess they're business partners, "

Hearing voices coming not far from us I abruptly stop and hold my fist into the air indicating them stop. I think it'll be best if we wait until they either pass or walk in our direction and if they do that we'll use brute force to silence them but I would rather avoid this because it most likely will blow our cover.

I look to the side of the wall and saw two personnel chatting with both carry rifles . Suddenly one of the guards covered his ear with his hand and his face instant showed a shock as well as an angry expression. "Come on, it seems like assassins appear to kill our boss"

"What how do you know that Jerald?"

"What else could it be!? Four of our strongest guys disappeared into thin air nowhere to be found. Most likely they are dead, lets go we've to warn the boss,"

Damn they find out already, I thought it'll be at least two or three more minutes until they discover that, I must've underestimated them. "Dustin shoot'em  down, be sure to have the silencer on,"

"Ok."

No wait that'll only make this mission even longer, since they're personally going to Brax then it means they're high in rankings " Hold on Dustin, I change my mind, we're going to follow them until they reach Brax office."

"Commander, what about the personnel all over the buildings" Max suddenly stated which slightly caught me off guard. "Taking a quick glance at him, I replied, " You don't trust me"

"N, no thats not what I mean," he replied, flustered.

"I know, I know. Don't worry about them, if we're discovered it's best to retreat and that's what we going to do if that happens. Now come on." After saying this I begin following the two personnel.

After some short turns and long hallways, we made it into a long hallway and about 20 meters in front of us is a single steel door, most likely the Brax door. I'm surprise that there weren't any personnel in any of the hallways when we pass by them. It's must because either the news of assassins turn them into idiots or they believe in their boss strength, lets hope it's the first one.  Well since the two personnel have used up their usefulness, it'll best to kill them. "Kill them, Dustin," I spoke in a soft voice.

"Yes. Commander." He replied and shot both of them in a fast session and before they can fall him and Max grab hold onto the bodies and ease them to ground. "Tango down," Dustin commented. Ha, I swear he plays to much call of duty games on his free time, lets not talk about that right now.

"Come on Catherine, you and I will take down the intended target, Max, Dustin and Jeanna you'll stay behind and protect our backs" I stated and immediately dash towards the door with light foots steps while Catherine follows. After this mission, I swear I'm going to take a long break with Catherine and maybe settle down. Well, that'll be for later. Reaching the door, I can faintly her muffed voices. I put my ear slightly on the door which enhance the muffed voices into soft ones that I can distinguish.

"Brax, why don't you have your son marry my daughter."

"That will be good idea, yea that's a brilliant idea.  With your influence and my people we can be a imposable force. And if we've the children marry and have a kid then we'll be under on under one house whole."

"Indeed"

I take my ear off door with a confuse expression my face, 'Brax have a kid? It didn't say that in his profile. Damn it seem like this mission and isn't a simple as we thoughts. If the Brax dies then his unidentified kid will take over his position,' I thought.

I move away from the door and pointed my guns towards the it. "Catherine change of plans, Don't kill Brax we must capture him, alive." "Yes commander" after saying this, she lift up her gun and aim it towards the door.

Inhaling a deep breath, I kick down the door with a boing thump and what appear before was two masked middle-aged man sitting on two couches looking straight at me with shock faces. "Y, you. How did you get in here unharmed," one of the man replied with a gloomy voice. "If you don't wanna die you better shut up" I said. Sigh it really was the first choice, I feel pity for these two men for having unskilled personnel.

"What do you want we us" the other one spoke.

Spinning the gun on my finger, I replied "Nothing much, just tell me which one of you is Brax and then we'll be on our way," They both went silent, must because they don't want to tell me. "Hey, now I'm n-" before I finish my sentence I felt a bad premonition. Like a bolt of lightning, I grab Catherine hand and duck on the floor. Immediately right after the sound of window shattering echo throughout the room and a bullet flew by towards me and Catherine original position.

'Damn it was a sniper' I thought. As I was about to get up, I look up and see two guns pointing towards us. "Damn, you really trick us. Huh?"

"Haha, We knew you was coming all along. You should see your faces, I mean who wear masks in their own office."

Damn, that's is true. "So what you doing to do with us." Catherine suddenly spoke, her face still emotionless. A snicker escape both their mouths " Nothing much. We'll kill that person and have a fun time with you."

Damn, what the fuck they just say! Calm down, Arthur. Calm down. Think of a way to get pass this, come on think. Damn no matter how much I try I can't think properly, what's wrong with me?

"Disgusting bitches, I'll never let you touch me with your filthy hands," Catherine shouted in angry voice, no longer showing a emotionless face but instead a extremely angry one.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you're willing to or not. Alright that's enough chitchat," Pointing the gun at me, he fires the weapon. Damn so this how it ends huh? I must've really run out my luck these past few years. However, before the bullet even reaches me, Catherine jumps in front of the bullet and took it. Her body flops in the floor with a loud thud.

Huh? Catherine, I stare at Catherine body with wide eyes. She wasn't moving, her chest wasn't heaving up and down. I slowly put my hand under her head and felt warm liquid flowing down my palm. It was blood, it was Catherine's blood. She isn't moving. Her blood is on my palm. No it can't be...she's dead. Catherine is dead.

No, no, no, no, no! No! No! "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" I scream at the top of my lungs, even when my throat was burninh, I still screamed.

"Damn, he's to noisy"

"Haha, we must've kill his lover. Just kill him, Brax"

"Alright Jason"

I hear a faint click sound in my ear. He must be trying take my  life, my life that Catherine saved. No, I won't let them kill me, I won't, no, I will not let them live. A life for a life, yes! I will revenge Catherine! With this in mind, I quickly grab the gun next to me and like a bolt of lightning I lifted up the gun and fired shots to closest one. A bullet burrowed through his skull out to the back. A sudden stinging sensation envelope in my chest, no paying attention to it, I shot another bullet towards the other in which hit him in the arm. Before I can get another shot in, tiredness envelope my senses. I couldn't move my arms, my head was fuzzy and the light surroundings me slowly dimmed.

Using this moment, the other mask man. Open the window and jump out. Why is he committing suicide? Can he just kill me and be over with it. Immediately right after he jump out, the door behind me slam open. But before I can figure who was the one's who open the door, I drop down on the floor like dead weight as the surrounding turns into a blur then darkness filled my view.
