A girl walked into the coffee shop with really long, thick Neon blue hair. She had it pulled back into messy pigtails. She also was wearing a black shirt that had dark blue lace, which showed some cleavage. With black leather pants and black heels. She smiled at the whole coffee shop as she looked around.
"Not really hiding is she?" Phantom asked trying not to laugh.
He then pretended to write something down on the paper and walked away. I quickly looked down at the table, she lost 50 points already. Not blending into the crowd and actually standing out, maybe it was a plan that she thought would work. The girl walked towards me, and I wanted to tell her that she just failed, but I must hold back.
"What's your name?" she asked very casually.
"Do I know you?" I asked, seeing how fast she can think on her feet.
She looked puzzled for a second, just a second then continued onto her lies.
"Well I'm here to pick you up I'm a friend of your brother's," she spat out like it was nothing.
Unbelievable! I mean is this a child's kidnapping process going down? I guess some of the others overheard it and giggled to, which made me want to laugh. She even gave me information about my brother, which I guess wasn't updated since he's dead.
"Oh, what's your name?" I asked she's not getting away that easily.
I mean what if the victim is smart and asks her questions? What's she gonna do then?
"Oh! Sorry about that, my name's Cynthia," she said in a pleasant tone.
"And what's my brother's name? I mean if you have to know if he's your friend," I said to throw her off her a bit.
"If you insist on being bitter, his name if John or as I call him JP," she said changing her facial expressions just in time.
I'll give her 30 points back just for looking way back into my past. I didn't give her all 50 in that area because of being cocky about it. I looked up from the table as Phantom came back and poured me a coffee, I decided to then take a different approach to make her heat up a bit. Cynthia smiled at him in a flirty kind of way, as he was leaving the table.
"Look my brother you see is dead and-"
Before I could finish Phantom dropped the plate that was in his hand. He heard me alright and wasn't expecting me to take this path in her. I laughed to off and looked over to see Cynthia also laughing at him too.
"Like I was saying, my brothers dead and I know that you're here to kill me. I have to say you were that good with excuses on that part, you should've dug deeper." I said taking a sip of the coffee.
Her eyes widened. Then a little chuckle came from her small mouth,
"Well, I guess I'm not the quiet type now, so I hope that you're ready to die." Cynthia answered, "So are you going to run because I'll chase you and it'll be fun!"
"No, I'll come with you willing I just have to know why." I asked, "Why are you going to kill me?"
She smiled as she looked around the room, probably looking for other people to see if I got the police involved. I could see that she wasn't expecting this and she was going to give me an answer.
"I'll tell you if you come with me," She answered my question.
I nodded and came along, she lead me into the bright sunny day. I watched her walk me from one street to another, walked for a long time. We walked until we came across an alley way and she turned towards me.
"How.....upsetting, you go and say that you know I'm here to kill you and you have the nerve not to run?" Cynthia said, her eyes turning a darker shade of blue then they already were.
"Alright since you're going to kill me then spill, why?" I said, trying to be brave about the situation.
She smirked, now if she exposes why she's doing this then she fails. What if she doesn't kill me? Then information will be leaked for no reason. I hate people who think that they're all that and think that they have the greatest chance of killing their target. She stepped towards me her slick black outfit gleaming in the light of the sun, with the blue ruffles turning brighter as the light hit them. As she stepped forward gripping her dagger her pale skin turned even more white.
"Ya see kid I would be accepted into an organization that I've dreamed of getting into for a long time. All I have to do is kill you then I can see a guy that has no name and lives like a king. Then I can ask him my questions and he'll answer and life will go on, I could also meet the siblings and the people with no family," she paused, "And I can meet a girl made for greatness but she stays with these guys. That is why my daring, I must kill you, to have a family."
Cynthia then pulled her dagger from a hidden pocket and lunged towards me, acting as if it was a sword. She swung her blade side to side trying to get a hit on me. I kept dogging the blade, keeping my distance. I pulled out my gun and uttered the most famous line I might have ever said.
"You brought a sword to a gun fight, what a bad choice," I said shooting a few rounds.
She quickly moved out of the way not as fast as she would've liked to. A bullet scracthed her side she looked down and laughed, "Dark Knight always prepared, I should've known this wouldn't have been easy."
I stood there starstruck, how did she know the name I used when we where working for the League of Killers? The name I use on jobs still today, the name I was given and never wanted.
