•The first encounter•

I make my way through the city towards her condo. According to the schedule I was given she should be home in about 15 minutes. I list the ways to kill her in my head as I sneak through alleyways. Emma, Emma Lawrence. From how they described her she has hazel eyes, wavy light brown hair, fair skin, freckles and glasses. I arrive at the condo just as she pulls her car into the parking lot. I watch as she exits her car and walks towards the building. She's not wearing her glasses but god is she stunning. She walks into the building and the door closes behind her. I sigh as I look up towards her balcony. She should be in there soon since she goes out to read on her balcony right after she gets home. She walks outside and sits down in her chair and takes out her book. She has her glasses on now and she's even more beautiful then before. I stare for a bit. I end up staring a bit to long and she stands up to get her tea. I quickly try to aim my sniper but she's already inside by the time I do. I sigh as I walk towards the door at the front of the condo building. I walk straight towards her condo not wasting anytime. I open her apartment door and go straight for the balcony. There she is drinking her tea and reading her book. I walk out quietly and raise my dagger quickly above her head. I stop in shock and move the dagger to my side. She even more beautiful up close. I slip the dagger in my pocket and she looks up at me.

"Hello?" She looks at me tilting her head sideways out of confusion. "Who are you"

"Um..." I think for a second "The plumber! Can you show me where your bathroom is? I'm here for a check of the piping" I scratch the back of my neck nervously hoping she'll buy it and luckily she does.

She shows me to the bathroom and opens the door with a smile.

"Here it is" She says cheerfully and I feel bad for what I'm about to do.

I push her against the wall raising my dagger.

I sigh. "Sorry. Your pretty and all but I'm gonna get paid good money for this."

"Hurry up and do it then" She looks away towards the floor and I just stare in shock. "Hurry before I change my mind!" She's almost yelling at this point and tears are starting to form in her eyes.

I move the dagger away and look at her. "I can't" I hold her chin gently and make her look at me. "Your too sweet"

She slides down the against the wall and sits down. I sigh and sit down beside her.

"Why do you do this?" She asks but I honestly have no idea. I got into this stuff a long time ago and I don't even know the reason for it. I answer her question with a shrug and she sighs.

"Sorry, I ju-" She cuts me off before I could finish speaking.

"Why didn't you do it?" She asks. I go silent. "Aren't you gonna get in some kind of trouble if you don't kill me?"

"I never thought of that." I look at her to see her looking right back at me. I blush a bit and look away. "L-Like I said before, your really pretty and um" I look back at her and her face is a bit red.

"O-Oh..." She smiles. "Well you can hide out here for a bit I guess," She yawns "I'm gonna go take a nap!" She stands up. "Feel free to make yourself at home! You can take a nap on the couch if you'd like!"

"Why are you being so nice to me. I just tried to kill you" I stand up and look at her.

"But you didn't! You spared my life and I thought there should be some way for me to thank you for that." She looks at her feet.

"Oh. Thanks I guess" I smile.

"Your welcome!" She looks up and smiles back at me. "I'm gonna go for my nap now!" She walks off to what I assume is her bedroom and closes the door.

"She really is so cute" I mumble sitting down on the couch. I lay down and eventually drift off to sleep.
