The Heart Of Assassin

Episode 17

continued from the last scene**

“Are you going to kill me?, please don’t kill me, I wanna go home.”

This words make my heart pound it’s obvious the girl is very innocent. Part of me says i should while part of me reminds me of the rule “don’t spare anyone” I wanted to pull my trigger when the voice of my dad began to speak in my mind “Juliet you are a good girl, this girl is innocent she wants to go home just the way you want to right now” the voice kept saying. well nobody is watching me guess. I quickly carry the girl and open the door to the car i was standing with and put the girls inside.

“stay down and remain quiet” I said while she nodded.

The whole place was down in a jiffy living not single soul alive. Few minutes later I went back to where i kept the girl for me to make her escape through the other route but she was no where to be found. I was shocked

“did this girl escape was she shoot, I couldn’t figure out so i concluded she made way herself.

BACK TO THE BASE
“Good job guys” the commandant said
“Thank you sir” we all chorused.
We were about to live when the commander called me

“hmmm Laura”
“sir” I replied
“I need you to get to my office right now” he commanded
“yes sir” I replied

I quickly made way to his office, I flung the door open and what I saw almost make me pass out.
“ha ha ha ha” the commander laughed out loud while I just concentrate on who am seeing
“well one of our spy, her name is Evelyn.”
“eem eem” I stammered. What i couldn’t believe is how that small innocent looking girl can be a spy for such organization.

” I can see you don’t have anything to say” the commander continued. ” the rule is that don’t spare a single soul. but you have make your emotions, feelings affect your job
“am sorry sir” I manage to say
” hmm well there is a punishment for the offense you just made” My heart skipped on hearing that, all I hope for is not death.

“Laura” the commander called, he noticed the fear of death in me, he smiled and continued
” well you are not going to die naaah, we are not going to kill you, but your death and survival lies in your hand” he paused but continue before I could say or ask anything
“There is top assassin in Chahell group, he is well trained and doesn’t have a heart just like you do. He has successfully killed more than ten top politicians in Nigeria without a trace. Now your mission is to go to Nigeria and get him killed within 120 hours.

“What 120 hours?” I asked in a shaky tone
“yes 120 hours” he yelled “and if you fail this mission, you are as good as dead” “now get out” he commanded while I turned back and made for the door

“Laura” he called, it’s you job only remember and you have 120 hours to get it done.” now leave.

I left his office with lots of thought on my mind.
