*Camera's flashing*
*The Forensic department scanning the room*
The Investigators were questioning the neighbours, the Police setting up 'Caution. Crime Scene' Tape around the House.
Agent Florence, who was specially assigned to the Case came there. Going through the weeping friends and family to the shocked neighbours giving their statements.
He went inside the Kitchen where the Incident happened.
Anya laid there, covered in a Sheet to avoid her naked body be exposed. A knife through her heart with blood all over her mouth and chest.
Florence paid his respects, scanning the crime scene.
The Forensic department were clueless about not finding a single evidence to the crime.
The Security Cameras switched off on Anya's orders.
There weren't signs of struggle.
Florence: So. Anything ?
Theo (Forensic): No. Nothing. No fingerprint. No Footage. We even checked to see for prints. But it all has her finger prints.
Someone else was defenitely with her.
Florence: What makes you say that
Theo: Well unless she had for hands, which she defenitely doesn't, there was someone who didn't want to be caught.
Florence: So. She was with someone. And with Footages missing. It must be a Secret lover.
But why did he go to extreme lengths of mimicking her finger prints.
Theo: That's what puzzling us.
What do we say to those outside and the press.
Florence: *Looks at Anya*
She was a Good Lawyer. Beloved by everyone. Don't let this be a black mark on her.
Tell them she was on a secret case that someone didn't want her working on.
Theo: But she was discovered Naked
Florence: God. Tell them they made it look like she was cheating to divert attention and damage her reputation and personal life.
Theo: Alright Alright.
Florence: I'll go see if she was dealing with any cases like that.
*Put the blanket on Anya's face, leaving*

The Sovereign HQ
*The Court of Foxes were assembled through a Holographic Call
Decibel: Well Done Zero. The Client is happy with the performance
Zero (Ansel): Thank you Ma'am.
Decibel: Your payment will be done tomorrow. Lay low for a few days.
Zero: I will. When's my next mission
Decibel: We will update you
Zero: Yes ma'am. I'll standby for orders
*The Holograms vanished as the Room emptied, Zero breathing a sigh of relief*
"BOO!!!"
Zero: Who the f
A startled Zero jumped from the sudden scare, looking who it was
"Heyy. It's me Seven"
Zero: Oh. It's you.
*Seven was part of the Fox Squad. Specialising in Stealth and Traps. Mostly loves to mess with Zero*
Seven: You're not happy to see me ?
Zero: I don't even wanna see myself right now.
Seven: Ooh. The usual regret huh
Zero: Yeah. I'm covered in her blood aren't I ?
Seven: U are. Did she cough it off on you ?
Zero: No. She talked
Seven: Let me guess. It would've been
"Rot in hell"
To which you would've replied to as
"I plan to"
Zero: How did you
Seven: What else would you even say. It would've probably sounded as a Compliment to you
Zero walked away as Seven talked
Seven: Heyy. I was joking
Zero: And I only had two options to reply to that
Seven: And those were
Zero: Laugh or Leave
Seven: It wasn't that bad. Besides why are you fascinated about going to Hell. Don't people fear going there.
Zero: Because I want to. Okay
Seven: Feels weird when you accept your punishment. Especially in our profession.
Like we're going to hell for this but we don't really admit it.
Although we use it as a good punchline.
But you're like enjoying it. Wanting to hear your victims say it.
Zero: Some questions are better left unanswered.
*Went to his room, Seven following*
Seven: So I heard you didn't leave any traces. How did you do it ?
Zero: If i say it. Will you let me sleep ?
Seven: *Nodded*
Zero: I began by creating a Alias. Flirting with her before initiating a sexual relationship.
That's how I got her to switch off her security cameras
Seven: The fingerprints ?
Zero: Hers. Got it on the first day. Been using it since then whenever i met her.
Her room is full of it too.
No one can find which was mine or hers.
Seven: What about your... Traces
Zero: *Threw him a pack of Secure Condoms*
Our labs designed this. No traces of me inside her.
Seven: Hmm. A well thought out plan. And you never met her in her office ?
Zero: Only phone. Love hotels without surveillance.
Used her fame and popularity against her to conceal my identity.
Seven: But why go the distance. A bullet would've done the Job on the second day
Zero: I have my methods man.
*Laid on his bed, grabbing his headphones*
Seven: So the client
Zero: Her own Husband. Owner of Blossom Tech. He was indicted on multiple charges of fraud a whistle blower.
Multiple charges of using company funds to his own use. Extra marital affairs.
Anya took the case herself, and being the Warrior of Justice she is, was gathering evidence against him.
Now silenced.
Seven: Damn. She didn't deserve this fate did she
Zero: No. That's why i sent her to a better place. Where she'll be safe from all these traitors and backstabbers
Seven: But you're going to someplace filled with them.
Zero: To each their own peace. I helped her go to a better place.
And she's helping me go to the worst place.
Seven: True. Still it's bad seeing you enroll into Assassination missions willingly. Especially being a Man of Faith.
Zero: I sealed my fate when i did my first kill. And no amount of forgiveness will save me from damnation. So why stop there.
So I'm continuing.
Seven: I sometimes pity you man. Thinking you don't get forgiveness. When you can stop if you want
Zero: Let's just say If there's a crown and a Throne for the greatest Sinner in hell. I want that place.
*Put his headphones on, muting out any response from Seven*
(Past Life by Tame Impala played)
*He was remembering his life with Anya. A short but memorable one.
Their first date. Their same song taste. Their first kiss. First night together.
If Zero had met Anya outside a Mission, he would've defenitely considered a relationship with her.
He couldn't find anyway to save her. And being a Religious Guy. He found the only place safe for her.
Heaven.
But in doing so, he gave up any chances of being with her in the Afterlife. A cruel fate that he was ready to accept.
Because He had something there he desperately wanted to be with. Even if it meant eternal damnation*
