Marianne is panting, barely moving, wearing ripped and filthy clothes, and holding her bleeding side. She decides to sit and conceal herself in a shadowy passageway. A tear erupts from her right eye as she looks up at the sky, which is dark and appears to be in mourning alongside her.
Her eye once again experienced this water dripping from it, which had not happened in a very long time. . She couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness and despair as she stood there, wondering if anyone would ever understand the pain she was going through. It was as if the weight of the world had suddenly come crashing down on her shoulders, and she didn't know how much longer she could bear
If only she hadn't done what she did, would it be possible that all this would not have happened?
''This riddiculos: I am an assassin; why am I shedding tears for people whom I am meant to kill in the first place?" Marianne chuckled to herself as she said that.
And the rain started falling, which made her look down and breakdown.
After all the preparation and training she had received, she had passed, becoming the envy of all who would've thought she'd still end up dying in the streets of this hell street.
It's funny that we all fight the world, but no one cares about this pathetic person who is dying in this shady and stinking passageway.
As her vision was starting to go dark, she heard someone running towards her .
''Marianne!!''
She could see the worried face of a certain red haired girl in front of her. But the face was quickly replaced by Mia's.
''You will not die on me. Don't look at me like that.''
''Aaargh. Fuck!" Marianne shouted when Mia abruptly pulled her up, put her arm around Mia's neck, and helped her get in the car.
''What? Come on, come on! Don't be a drama queen; we've been through a lot. This is just a piece of ...cake.'' Mia stopped as she saw how bad Marianne's wound was in her side, as she was about to put some first aid in it and a cloth on it to stop it from bleeding.
''How worst is it?'' Marianne asked with a pained expression on her face. Mia took a deep breath and replied, "It's pretty deep, but don't worry, I've had some experience with wounds like this before. We just need to get you to a hospital as soon as possible."
Marianne glared at Mia .
''Or not, hehe," said Mia, grinning.
''Aw.'' Marianne shouted again. When Mia abruptly tied the rip cloth into Marianne's wound.
''Hahaha. It is really satisfying seeing you suffer like that.'' Mia teased Marianne more as she sat in the driver's seat.
Marianne's glare never left Mia's direction.
''What? first time getting shot?'' Mia continued looking back at Marianne in the rearview mirror.
''Can you please just drive?" Marianne was annoyed by Mia's teasing.
''It's a child , just a poor child.'' Marianne finally spoke after a long of silence while they are driving home.
''I thought you'd died already.'' Mia sarcasticly answered because Marianne has been quiet the whole ride.
The road was dark already; it's already night.
''All of us were, Marianne.'' Finally a serious answer from Mia.
Marianne again came silent to what Mia just answered.
All of them indeed.
They both fell into silence again, but then both of them rolled inside the car when a truck hit them in the intersection, and the car they were in flew and rolled on the road. The car was now upside down, and Marianne became unconscious while Mia was still feeling dizzy and coughing from the dust and smoke caused by the accident. She saw blood all over Marianne, and her heart skipped a beat and became paralyzed.
''Marianne" was the only word that came out of her mouth .
Mia quickly realized that she needed to act fast, but she puked because she was feeling so dizzy. She knew she had to act fast before it was too late, so she reached Marianne's neck and looked for a pulse. She felt relieved when she felt a faint pulse. She sighed, gathered all her remaining strength, and kicked the door of this wrecked car. She was able to open the door. She carefully got out of the car, and she couldn't help but think about how lucky they were to have survived such a terrible accident.
She was about to pull Marianne's body when a man whose nose was bleeding rushly walked towards them holding a shotgun and started shooting them. Mia was almost shot but was quick to hide Marianne's body, which was still unconscious behind this car.
''Shit'' The man was now shooting the car, which at any minute would explode, and she can't see any gun, and she needed to find a way for them to escape, but this place has nothing to go and hide in. The sound of the bullets piercing through the metal of the car was deafening, and she knew that she had to get as far away from the scene as possible. As she ran, her heart pounding in her chest, she couldn't help but wonder who the man was and why he was so determined to destroy the car.
''This man won't stop, fuck." Mia never stops swearing while sneakily pulling Marianne away from the car.
She has to save Marianne before anything else, but then her eyes lit up when she saw a knife in Marianne's side.
She quickly grabbed the knife and was about to hit the man, but before she could do that, the man flew high after getting hit by an old white van, and she saw the van was full of dead guys inside, and her eyes narrowed when she saw a familiar red-haired girl .
''How the fuck did she find us?'' She said to herself, and before she could say a word to the girl, another gunshot came in their direction, and she saw how the red haired girl didn't even flinch when she got out of the van and walked towards the car where the people who were currently shooting them were.
Mia's jaw dropped when she witnessed how Lily just simply walked, dodging bullets, and stopped facing the black car. She first shot the driver right through the head and then shot the two front wheels. When the front wheel burst, the car stumbled. While stumbling, she still managed to shoot the two passengers in the car.
And the red-haired girl turned her back from the stumbling car that even passed over her head, but she didn't even flinch, and there Mia saw the face of Lily with blood dripping from her forehead.
What in the world is she?
''Why are you just standing there? She's bleeding to death!" Mia flinched at Lily's loud and roaring voice; she'd never seen this side of Lily before. Yes, they always bantered, but never had Lily been this enraged about anything.
''Why are you just standing there? She's bleeding to death!" Mia flinched at Lily's loud and roaring voice; she'd never seen this side of Lily before. Yes, they always bantered, but never had Lily been this enraged about anything. Mia quickly snapped out of her shock and rushed to Lily's side. She could see that the wound was deep and needed immediate attention.
'' We can't bring her to the hospital. It's too dangerous," Mia said to break the ice as they sat across each other. Mia's has contacts in Afghanistan. She had been here several times when she was still an assassin, and this person and her contact were one of her assignments that she chose to save.
''Oh yeah?" was Lily's sarcastic answer crossing her arms.
''Come on , Lily, you knew Marianne was just protecting you.'' Mia said she knows why Lily is acting this way.
''Really? So, you just make plans for yourself and lie to my face? and decided to act like heroes ? After all that we've been through, she still doesn't trust me.'' Mia sighed and shook her head. "It's not about not trusting you, Lily. It's just trying to keep everyone safe. We all are." She paused for a moment before continuing. "And as for Marianne, she's always been fiercely protective of those she cares about. It's just her way of showing love."
''She thinks I can't handle it?'' Lily asked, feeling a bit hurt. "It's not that she doesn't think you can't handle it," Mia replied. "It's just that she wants to make sure that you're prepared for anything that might come your way."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''How did you even find us?'' Mia asked suspiciously, realizing Lily has no experience traveling, especially out of the country, and she saw how she played with this ring in her right hand with this familiar skull design. Lily smiles mischievously and says, "I may not have traveled much, but I have my ways. Plus, I have a friend who knows a thing or two about international travel and gave me some tips." She twirls the skull ring on her finger before slipping it back into her pocket.
''Oh, yeah.'' Mia just shrugged and sneakily grabbed the knife she put in her back earlier, the one that she had grabbed from Marianne's side, but she was surprised that the knife was no longer there.
''Looking for this.'' Lily said this before attacking with Marianne's knife in her hand. But Mia smirked, realizing this imposter doesn't check her target's background. She just quickly dodged her attack, smoothly stepped aside, and grabbed her arm, twisted it, and the knife fell from her, but she smoothly caught it, and Mia stabbed the imposter in all the vital limbs of her body, blood splashing out every stab Mia made, and the imposter looked at her with those black colored iris, which is clearly not Lily's eye color.
''Before I end your life , Lily is not a friendly one, and she is not dumb like you." Miashe smirked before she finally slit her throat. The plastic masked in her neck ripped out and the blood lashed out of her throat before she kneeled, and Mia finally pulled the knife out of her throat and threw it to the man who was coming in the room. His gun flew up as the knife united with his forehead. Mia stepped on the chair and jumped there to step on the wall to bounce herself up and catch the gun. Mia immediately shot the second and third guys who attempted to get into Marianne's room. When Mia fell to the ground, she grabbed the dead man's body with those bulging eyes,'' ewww !! and she used it to protect herself from the bullets that were coming from the men shooting from outside the room.
But unfortunately, she hadn't noticed the man who came in from the window. He managed to inject a tranquilizer into Mia, and she immediately knocked on the floor.
And the men were about to kill them when,
''Come on! That's it?'' A voice suddenly spoke out of nowhere, and Mia saw a man walk into the room. He stopped and checked Marianne's pulse, which is now bedridden.
Mia just watched, but she couldn't do anything as she was temporarily paralyzed, and the man then walked in her direction and sat in front of her.
The man took off his sunglasses and hung them between the collars of his navy blue kurta. He is looking really attractive with his attire, especially when he paired white jeans with his navy blue kurta, and as he sat in front of her, she could never ignore his beautiful custom-made leather shoes. All of them shout power.
He caressed her face, and she saw his clean, hairy arm with his wrist wearing a Rolex.
He leaned in and smiled as he stroked her face. She could smell his manly but rich scent, and his beard is beautifully done too. Just how rich is this man? She thought.
Who is this guy?
Is he the one?
''Hahhahaha. Is this what they call the best batch ever recruited? What a shame..tsk tsk tsk'' He was mocking them.
He then stopped laughing and kicked her hard in the stomach nonstop, which caused her to vomit her own blood.
''You really think you can just breach my territory and break everything, ruin my business, blow my factory, kill my men, and just escape that easy?''
He then grabbed me and dragged me around the room .
''Get up and fight." And he kicked her again.
He then stepped on her face.
''Ugh.'' She groaned in pain.
She is looking in Marianne's direction, waiting for something.
But nothing; she is still not moving
Come on, Marianne.
''Do you know how much stress the two of you gave me in just 12hours? Huh ?'' Oh my god, this guy is starting to get into my nerves.
He is holding my hair again and talking in my face , God, his breath is something!!
Maybe this is his problem; maybe he lacks love attention because his breath stinks!!
''What is happening here?'' Ask a man with white beard that looks like a priest
''Finally, you're here,'' says Marianne, which shocked everyone in the room but put a smirk on Mia's lips. The man who has a stinky breath let go of her and tried to attack Marianne, but she didn't let him.
''Come here, baby, boy .'' She finally put a hard punch in his very attractive face but she didn't let him sleep; she just kept in touch of him while helping Marianne kill the men that surround them I still admire how graceful Marianne moves every time she does her thing
But it's not what's important now; all that's in my mind now is torturing this stinky breath man. Every time she attacks an enemy, she includes his body part being hit but not the vital part. She is not going to let him die that easily, and besides, they still need his palm to free the people in the container that we found in their ship in the port.
They might think they've blown all of it, but they are wrong; they made this whole thing up till they find this man and finally get what they really came here, the man who has access to the organization and the government.
The man they call ''The Bridge.''
Mr. Abdul Jawad
He is a retired CIA agent and a former member of the org.
But he is not a fighter, more of a negotiator, a financier for us. Insert some grin on Mia's face right now.
The whole room was silent as they wiped the people inside without a single noise. Why?
Outside the room is another story, same as how they get out of this place.
She quickly pressed something on Mr. . Abdul Jawad's neck and he immediately collapsed.
''Now what?'' Mia whispered, asking Marianne because they never talked about this. They planned all this and never thought of a plan on getting out of this place.
''Are you ready for suicide?''
Marianne said as she was looking outside the window .
I don't like what I see in her face. But wherever she goes, I go. Mia thought to herself
''So?'' Marianne asks.
Mia peeked on the window, and her face turned pale.
Mia smirked at her.
''No.no.no I am not doing that''
The door exploded, which shocked them; they never expected another visitor, but this is it; it's not good.
''No . anything but this.'' Mia begged.
''At least, you'll die facing your fears..hahaha.'' After Marianne said that she kicked Mia without a notice but she wouldn't go without the stinky man, so she pulled him with her.
''Aaah'' Both of us screamed.
