It has been two years since Agnes had been watching him. Two years since the botched job, she was prepared like always, her gun ready and the silencer on. She had walked quietly into the house and into the kitchen, where she heard the sound of a tap running. Before her target could turn around she had fired two quick shots to his head, ending his life. Before she, she caught a glimpse of a small hunched figure through a room door and she looked inside. What Agnes saw made her sick to her stomach, it was a young boy of around ten years old playing a game with his headphones on.
Agnes staggered into the porch of the house, she couldn't believe what she had done. She had just made a child an orphan. The realization of what she had done dawned on her and she vomited unto the grass. She quickly went into her car and drove off as quick as she could.
Even though maybe she felt guilty about killing Danny's remaining parent, all Agnes could do was watch him. Watch him as child protective services took Danny to a foster home and watch as he ran away from one home after another, all the while wondering what she could do to relieve Danny of his misery of being put with abusive strangers. But the truth was, there was nothing she could do to help which only made her guilt worse.
She quickly pulled out of the place her car was parked as she saw Danny head out from where he was making a living selling drugs out on the street. She followed him for a while until the guilt was too much and she decided to go back to her apartment.
On entering she quickly took a bottle of orange juice from the fridge and downed it. It helped calm her down and her headache was getting better until she heard her phone ring. She picked it up and answered.
"Hello Agnes I got a new job for you. His name is Oscar Hemsley. He's a business man who is into underground dog fighting. He leaves his place at four O'clock every evening to watch a fight. I'll text you the rest of the details"
"Okay, got it" She was about to end the call when he spoke again.
"oh, and Agnes?"
"Yeah?"
"I need you not to mess this one up" She sighed and nodded as if he could see her and ended the call.
The person who called her was Tom a co-worker and son of Benny, the man who raised her in the organization. Benny had taken her under his wing when she ran away from her fifteenth foster home. He had found her sleeping on a bench in the park, felt pity for her and took her home and trained and raised her to be an assassin to work for him and his organization.
Agnes and Tom gradually fell in love and dated for two years until she broke up with him. To this day she still didn't know why she broke up with him but she felt it was the right thing to do.
Agnes sighed and looked at the time, it was three O'clock in the afternoon, an hour left before her target left his place, she had to get ready. She walked into her closet of weapons and chose a gun.
It was time to go to work.
