Four
The bullet quickly fired as I pulled the trigger of the gun then achieved an 8 consecutive bullseye within 4 minutes, it was a big achievement and I was proud of myself as I see a huge improvement after 3 weeks of practicing the basics of being an assassin.
"That's all for today," my instructor declared after 15 bullets were shot consecutively. I put the gun down and grabbed a fresh bottle of water and drank from it while my hands shake due to the practice.
Pulling triggers were hard so I always end up with my hands shaking after an hour or two of practicing. I put all my equipments in place and left the practicing area to stroll in the garden for awhile.
The sliding doors opened automatically and the blue horizon with the fluffy clouds surprised me for I wasn't able to go out on a cloudy day for almost a month. Eyes glued up in the sky and I sat on the grass surrounding the place and lie down to relax and enjoy the scenery. It's almost a month since my birthday and since I was owned by Mr. Minami, since then I wasn't able to go to uni and see Zayn, I was also stuck inside this residency for weeks unable to bear the idea of surviving without going to the outside world.
A lot has changed within a month and a day from now, I'll fly off to Ireland to murder my victim. Sheryl, Mr. Minami and I would have a meeting later on to prepare for my first mission, my fake passport was ready, equipments were ready and the money for my expenses were also ready but the person who's about to kill is the one who is not ready.
I had agreed on the contract for a lot of reasons even if I really didn't want to, I just want my parents to be freed from jail and I know my pride has nothing to do with this but I feel so degraded if I ever back out and if I back out, I'll have to pay for the contract and I don't have enough money to pay for it, that's why agreeing and doing my part was the main choice, I'd be able to set my parents free, I wouldn't feel degraded and lastly, I would have a half a million salary and a lifetime sustainment.
The thought of killing still breaks my heart but I have to kill in order for my parents to obtain their freedom back. I know I'm being selfish and heartless but that's how people feel and think nowadays, no one cares about anyone anymore, all they care about is theirselves so why would I care about anyone else if no one does anymore? It's part of being a human.
"Miss Murray, Mr. Minami requests you to go pack your clothes for your take off on Monday," Poppy, one of the maids of Mr. Minami said to me and I nodded and hummed as a reply, still looking at the blue sky with a cloud shaped like a four leafed clover, which I think is a coincidence since I'm going to Ireland this week, it makes me a little less pessimistic and wonder how Ireland would look like once I land at the country. I stayed for a little longer until one of the hot-headed maids shouted at me for not responding earlier to Mr. Minami's request, I got on my feet and walked through my room to ready the things that I will need to bring.
The good side of staying in Mr. Minami's mansion is that I'm spoiled with a lot of clothes, jewelries, bags and shoes, I even got my own walk-in closet during my stay. Lastly, I appreciate all the delicious meals served to me, I never tasted something so heavenly.
I opened the door to my walk-in closet and grabbed a black luggage and strolled around the grand closet. If I were to kill, I wouldn't pick up a lot of skirts and dresses and so I picked up a lot of jeans, leggings, shorts and pants, pyjamas were also included so I'll be able to sleep comfortably while in Ireland. I grabbed every black clothes that I saw and I also packed a handful of rubber shoes. Everything inside the luggage was black, including the luggage itself, I sometimes wonder what's gotten into me and why am I so fond of the shade of black.
After several minutes, I went out of the closet and took a shower to freshen up my body after the exhaustion of handling different kinds of guns and shooting all in a full combo. I hummed a little song as I felt the soap slide through my body, I don't have the talent of singing and I have to admit that but it does make me feel happy whenever I sing or hum, I especially like slow and relaxing songs even though I am quite boyish, some people thinks I like R&B but it's the total opposite.
I dressed up right after my shower, 6:43pm was on the clock and I need to get to Mr. Minami's office by 7 o' clock sharp but I believe I still have a lot of spare time and I arrived 10 minutes early as I wait in front of the office, just standing outside and feeling scared to knock but soon gained the courage, as I was about to knock, the door quickly opened to reveal the brunette with purple eyes due to her contact lenses, it was Sheryl standing right in front of me.
"Victoria, good to see you, come on in!" She flashed a fake smile and pretended that we were actually that close for her to greet me like that, I took a step inside and she got out of the way, Mr. Minami had a lot of things over at his desk including different varieties of bullets and guns, I actually wondered how he can own a lot of guns when it's not really encouraged her in UK.
I made my way to face the old man and I heard footsteps behind me probably Sheryl approaching to Mr. Minami too. My face was stern and I took a seat in front of his desk just like the first time that I was seated inside this room, Sheryl did the same and we were now opposite each other. Mr. Minami did his signature smirk as a welcome but my face remained as it is.
Discussions were held very intently and all of us in the room was focused on our subject, Mr. Minami gave a lot of tips to successfully finish the task and also on how to escape an airport with a gun. Different addresses were given to me, both in Mullingar and Dublin and I was also informed that there is a vacant house in both towns that I shall use while the mission is going on so that I won't rent a hotel.
The passport was already made with my fake name but with my face on it and a cellphone was also given to me but I wasn't allowed to add contact or call anybody other than Sheryl or Mr. Minami which made me sad since I already had the plan of contacting Zayn.
Everything was set but I still lack knowledge about my victim since I still don't know his or her name, the gender is still unknown yet.
"When will you guys plan on telling me who am I gonna kill?" I asked, eager to know. Sheryl looked up at Mr. Minami to answer.
"We'll tell you who once you're in Ireland but for the meantime, here's the details," the phone that was given to me vibrated and saw a file and an app launched to reveal the bio data of the person.
He was a male and he just became 22 last September 13. His address was also stated and his features were brunette roots but the hair was dyed blonde, he has blue eyes and he was 5 foot 8. The description was very vague, I'm sure there are a lot of 5'8 men with a hair dyed blonde in Ireland and I can't just ask all of them one by one and then murder them right away. It's hard because the name is my primary need to complete all my knowledge about him.
"What's his name and his face? Please just show it to me!"
"I won't say his name nor show you his face just yet and you have to deal with that," Mr. Minami said with such aggressiveness evident in his voice.
"Your flight's been rescheduled tomorrow, 7:30pm," my heart beats began to palpitate. I've never knew how much I was nervous until today. "That's all for our last discussion, any other concerns?"
"Wait!" I butt in before all of this ends. "I haven't visited my parents yet," I stated with so much concern, I haven't realised it until now.
"After you finish the mission,"
"But-" I was unable to reply, even if I burst my anger and rage on, what can I do about it? I only have a day here in England and I'll be flying off tomorrow and I won't even have the time to check up on them anyway but I was worried of the other possibilities that may happen in my first mission.
What if I get caught and get jailed? What if I'm the one who gets killed? The possibilities were endless and I can't help but feel scared about it, anything bad can happen and it may cause for me not to see my parents ever again or not being able to get back to England.
The discussion was closed and me and Sheryl were dismissed as I carry all the things I needed and the new phone that I have.
"You better do it properly, Victoria." Sheryl said, I believe she still doesn't trust me on handling this mission because I'm a newbie.
"Don't worry about it, I'll do my best," sounding determined, brave and confident that I'd be able to properly finish my first mission. Before Sheryl got the chance to walk away, I quickly called her name to get her attention, I was curious about this for awhile now. "Hey Sheryl," she turned around with the fierce look on her face. "Why do you want him to be killed?" I asked, hoping that she won't get offended and will not invade her privacy.
"Because he's a fucking douchebag who broke up with me because of his reasons then stole a big amount of money, then seeing him with hoes the next day, how can you not get pissed about it? You'll instantly want him killed right? Don't ask any other questions, I'm off," she walked away and soon comprehended the things she said, I'm sure she could have just talked with the guy about it, Sheryl's a bit too shallow, ending someone's life can be full of regrets later on but what can I do? I'm just doing my job. I made my way to my room to arrange and prepare my things for the next day then dozed to sleep.
The next day was hectic, I had my last gun practices for awhile then ate breakfast and showered. The maids were assisting me about everything and some people were also assisting me on hiding the bullets and guns, I was nervous because I might get jailed because of this and if that'll happen, everything is all for nothing, I lost my freedom and my parents still in their cells. Evening was about to set and I couldn't believe how fast the time has past this day, I showed up to Mr. Minami's office one last time to bid my "sayonara" and then I was off.
A lot of Mr. Minami's people assisted me on boarding the limousine, my luggage was being pulled by one of the people and my black handbag that contains the hidden gun, bullets, cellphone, keys and the money was latched on my arm. I was nervous so I said a little prayer as the limousine made its way to the airport.
Going past the airport was quite nerve cracking but it ended up flawlessly and I was not detected having a gun which surprised me, my luggage was also confirmed to be safe and harmless even if it contains more bullets, having a lot of bullets made me confused as to why I need a lot of those if I'm only gonna shot the person once, possibly.
My thoughts were stopped on their tracks and Mr. Minami's people left me to do my business. I waited for my plane to arrive. I still can't believe that I'm actually doing this, a month back then, I was denying myself to do my part on the contract and now here I am actually doing what Yu wants and that is to be one of his assassins, I can never forgive myself again but if it's the way to release my parents then why hesitate to think on it?
My plane has arrived as it was announced, I quickly stood and pulled my luggage to get to the plane early and I was now successfully on board, I sat at the midsection of the plane, where the window is and relaxed myself on the comfortable seat.
It will only take about 30 minutes as Mr. Minami said but I would really want to have a little nap but I don't think I'll be able to take a nap if I'll be amazed while flying. A little more minutes passed and it was time to take off, there's a small amount of people on board since Dublin and Manchester are just really close but I didn't care less about it, I was glad that I don't have anyone beside me so I can enjoy the other seat alone.
I fastened my seatbelt as it was said and we took off, I felt something indescribable as the plane was up in the air, I felt paralysed and when the sound system ask for us to take off our seat belts, I still wasn't moving because of how frightening that thing was but I soon moved and got out off my seatbelt to look out at the window as I see the clouds below me.
I didn't realise how long the flight was until we were asked again to put on our seat belts as we were about to land and I felt that indescribable feeling again and I felt the plane touch the ground. I am finally in Dublin, I thought to myself and it was time for us to board off, I latched the handbag on my arm very tight and proceeded my way to exit the plane.
I felt the cold breeze in the air as I got down, Ireland was far colder than England, I found my luggage with the white bow on it and took it with me. I strolled around the Dublin airport and finally made my way out as I called for a cab, deciding to drop off at a fast food chain for awhile. While the trip was going on, I called Mr. Minami on my phone, awaiting for him to pick it up.
"Moshi moshi,"
"Mr. Minami, it's Victoria, I just got off the plane,"
"Ahh, Victoria, I hope you enjoyed your flight and yes I know you just got off the plane about 11 minutes ago, by now you are being tracked to know where you're going and I believe you are heading off to eat,"
"Your speculations are right, so where's the house?" I asked as I opened my handbag to search for the keys and gladly, it was there.
"I'll drop a pin on your map," I heard a little beep on my phone and I guess Mr. Minami did something again with my phone, I may be holding it but he still controls it.
"Okay, so can I know the guy I'm about to k-" I stopped mid sentence as I realised that I was inside the cab alongside with the driver.
"Ugh, where is it?" I heard Mr. Minami said on the other side, I guess he was still finding a way to set it on my phone, I waited patiently for the beep but nothing was heard after a good 45 seconds. "Hello?" I asked through the other line.
"I have lost the information, I'll send it to you later but I will have to call Sheryl about my lost information," the call ended and I stared at the phone for awhile then turned it off.
The cab dropped me off to where I told him to drop me, the nearest food court. I paid the driver and got out of the cab, I opened the boot of the can to get my luggage because the driver is such a gentleman for leaving the job to a woman but I lifted it with all my strength then banged the boot to let him know how much of a gentleman he is.
It was time for me to eat and so I went inside to one of the fast food chains to order and eat.
