London
The jet landed at the airport and Scarlet alighted from the jet, wearing her Chanel sunglasses, "I just love the smell of London air, so rich, so different." Chris rolled his eyes, "Smells like normal air to me Annah." He studied his sister's appearance, "Why are you wearing your sunglasses at 8pm?"
"I don't expect you to understand how to make an entrance after carrying out a homicide and getting a lot of cash in one night." Scarlet said, letting out a sigh. Christopher raised his hands and gave her an applause, "Wow, what an icon."
She wanted to say something but Christopher spoke up, shutting her down, "Oh look, our ride is here." Scarlet rolled her eyes before she walked to the car and greeted the driver before sitting down inside, "Isn't this your car that we used in Las Vegas?" She said to Christopher, looking at the interior.
"Yes. I had the interior washed because of you." He said, glaring bullets at her. She shrugged and looked out the window, her old memories playing in her head. 'Who would have thought that I would still remember every detail from that night?' She said to herself.
They arrived at their boss's mansion and Scarlet was the first one to get out of the car, banging the car's door in the process, "HEY!!" Chris yelled after her, "WHAT DID MY BABY DO TO YOU?!"
Scarlet saying nothing, entered the mansion. She walked pass the butler, ignoring his greeting then she paused and turned to return the greeting, "Hey George, sorry I was being rude to you. I'm kind of in a bad mood right now." She said giving the butler a small smile.
"I guess Mister Whitlock had a hand in your sour mood." He said with a chuckle. "Oh you know me too well George. Where's my father?" Scarlet asked the old man. "In his study." He replied.
She thanked him and went to her father's study, knocking seven times, she entered and her father's chair was facing backwards before he turned, revealing Nicholas, the man who saved her 21 years ago. "My dear Scarlet, you haven't stopped your habit of knocking seven times." He smiled.
"Can't teach old dogs' new tricks father." She beamed. Nicholas laughed, "How was your trip to Las Vegas?" Hearing that Scarlet rolled her eyes and her behavior made Nicholas a bit confused, because Scarlet is always happy after assassinating someone.
"What's wrong? I trust you to have gotten the job done, so why are you in a bad mood?" Nicholas asked, furrowing his brows. At that moment Christopher came into the study room, "Good evening dad."
"Chris, what did you do?" Nicholas asked his only son. "I don't understand. What do you mean?" Christopher asked, his brows furrowing in confusion. "Well Scarlet is angry and I have this certain feeling that it's your fault." Nicholas said, glaring at his son.
"I didn't do anything." Chris defended. Hearing that made Scarlet let out a scoff, "Well father, guess what your smart son did yesterday. This oversized nincompoop interjected my mission!" She ended with a glare to Chris's direction.
"I wanted to make sure you were safe, Daniel had a lot of bodyguards!" Chris defended. "And what would you have done?! Hit them on the head with a laptop?! Or perhaps you would have…" "Enough." Nicholas only said one word to stop their bickering.
"Now, Christopher, why did you intervene in Scarlet's mission?" Nicholas asked calmly. "I just wanted to be sure that she'll be okay. She acts like she's tough but we all know that she isn't. So what if you started killing people at 16…" "14." Scarlet said cutting him off.
"Okay~ so what if you had started killing people at the age of 14? You're still that little girl that was scared 21 years ago. I don't want anything to happen to you because… Because you're my sister Annah!" He said, yelling the last part.
Scarlet stayed quiet before answering, "Don't act like we are siblings when you made us grow apart on my 18th birthday." Scarlet answered.
She walked past him and almost went out of the study when Nicholas called her back, "Scarlet wait, don't go just yet." She faced him, "What is it father?" "I have a mission for you, well this time your brother would join you while you're on it."
"As the getaway driver? Well nothing's new, he does that every time." She shrugged. Nicholas shook his head, "No, this time he would actual be with you. For your protection." He finished.
"You're joking right?" Scarlet chuckled but her smile dropped when she noticed that Nicholas was serious, "Oh my God, you're serious." Christopher rolled his eyes, "Why should I go with her?"
"Ever since that stupid stunt you played on her birthday you two came apart, this is a chance for you to bond while you're on a life and death adventure." Nicholas said leaning back in his chair.
"You are really sending your children on a life and death situation?" Scarlet asked with a raised brow. "You never had a problem with that." Nicholas fired. Scarlet paused before nodding, "True."
"Here are the locations." Nicholas passed a file to Scarlet for her to glance through. "Italy, China, Japan…" Scarlet read out and paused when she came across the last country, "Russia?"
Chris snatched the file from Scarlet's hands, reading it all over again, "Why don't you just send us to North Korea?" Chris said mockingly. "What? Are you scared?" Scarlet snorted. "Of course not. I know Russia would be lovely."
Nicholas shook his head at his children behavior, "Oh, before I forget I need you to do something for me Chris." "I'm all ears dad." "I need you to learn how to use a gun." Scarlet bust out laughing and Chris ear reddened in embarrassment.
"You didn't think I'll send you on this mission without you learning how to use a gun right?" Nicholas chuckled. "He was probably going to knock them unconscious with a laptop or a mouse." Scarlet said laughing harder.
Christopher grumbled before leaving the study in embarrassment. Scarlet turned to her dad after Chris left, "I noticed a maid before I entered your study earlier. She was very suspicious."
"You worry too much my dear Scar, everything would be alright." Nicholas gave her a reassuring smile. "I would take your world for it but give me the permission to end her life if I catch her doing something that would piss me off." She said in a low tone.
"Of course." Nicholas chuckled before Scarlet turned on her heels and walked out of the study. She met the maid just outside the study, cleaning a framed painting. She stared at her until the maid became uncomfortable, "May I help you with something, miss?" She said giving Scarlet a smile.
Scarlet shook her head, "You may continue." Then she walked away. The cleaner went to the storage room and brought out her phone, "Hello detective. Yeah I've got some Information you may need." Scarlet opened the storage door and closed it behind her.
The maid stared at her in shock, staying silent, "Go on." Scarlet said with a sweet smile. Meanwhile, at the police station, the detective waited for her to speak up, "Yeah, what is it?"
Scarlet motioned for the maid to continue, "Scarlet Witch is going on global." She said almost bursting into tears. "What? What the heck is that?" "She is heading to Italy, China, Japan and Russia." She maid rushed out her words, tears dripping down her face.
"Do you have any clue on her targets?" "I wish I did sir." Scarlet took the phone from the maid's shaking hand and brought it up to her ear, "Hello Detective." She said in a sing-song tone.
"Scarlet Witch!" he yelled into the phone. "Yep that's me." She said, still in the same tone as before. "A piece of advice Detective Lexington, if you wanted to know more about me, you could have just sent me an email, instead of asking my maid to do the job. I hate it when people come in between my job, it irks me to the core. Just don't go against my wishes, or I'm coming for you and your family. I'll make sure to send… what's your name honey?" She paused, asking the maid her name.
"Delilah." She answered. "Good girl," Scarlet praised, "I'll make sure to send Delilah's body to you when I'm done with her. Bye Lexi." She teased and cut the call.
Immediately Delilah knelt down, "Please have mercy on me miss. I have kids I need to take care of at home. Please spare my life." She cried. Scarlet rolled her eyes, "Get up." Delilah got up and cleaned her tears and Scarlet just hated the way seeing the woman cry made her feel… Guilty.
"I wasn't going to do anything to you dummy. I just wanted to pull Lexi's Legs." "You call detective Lexington Lexi?" Delilah asked. "Just because I decided to spare you doesn't give you the right to 'joke' with me. Go home to your kids." Delilah bowed her head before leaving the storage room.
At the police station
"Fuck!" Detective Lexington yelled after the phone call. "Detective Lexington?" a female officer send, walking in into his office. Detective Lexington sighed, sitting down, "What's the problem?"
"Las Vegas police department just sent us a report." The officer said, placing the reports on his table. Lexington took the file from his desk and glanced through it, "They got multiple killings in one night at the same location and it has Scarlet witch written all over it. Literally. She left a lot of clues that she was the culprit including her signature message with her bold red lipstick, 'yours sincerely, Scarlet witch'" The officer said as Lexington read through the file.
"I'm too old for this. Did they get a facial?" Detective Lexington said massaging his temple. The officer kept quiet for a while before speaking up, "Sadly, no. They didn't. The CCTV cameras were all turned off, until she was walking out of his house."
Detective Lexington sighed, "Okay, we will get her one day."
