Her heart froze as she recognized the two males coming towards her. Just perfect! I don't want this. Not now; not ever! She turned on her heels and headed quickly in the other direction. She could feel them, their eyes on her, their mouths probably drooling. She shuddered and headed down an alley, knowing they would follow her. And when they rounded the corner, she pointed her guns at their heads.
“Speak fast. Silver bullets. Now.”
One of them smiled while the other answered.
“We were sent to find you. He is...in need of your presence.”
“Tell him I want no part of it.”
“He suspected as much.”
“But your family won't be used this time,” the other said.
She raised an eyebrow. They smirked and one liked his fingers. She froze for half a second at the realization before gunshots sounded. Anger and grief flooded her senses and she looked at them.
“Tell him this. He broke our agreement. For that, I will hunt him till I can kill him.”
She walked off again, leaving them there. Her heart was beating fast and her head wouldn't clear. She entered a phone booth and dialed a number. She heard the ringing.
“Mommy....daddy.....pick up.”
The phone continued ringing. Her heart skipped a beat when she got voice mail. She hung up, leaning against the glass helplessly. Her eyes closed tightly. She forced back the tears, a few escaping. You can't cry. You're in the middle of war now. Emotions later. She took a deep breath and walked out. She looked around before hot wiring the nearest motorbike.
She had to get to the south side of Happy Harbor before the sun set. She rode off, mind reeling with options and strategies. She hadn't been trained for war. She had been trained to succeed. And she was going to win if it was her last breath. And it very well could be. The sun was high in the sky by the time she arrived. She shut off the motor and looked around.
“Nice neighborhood. Won't have to worry about police in this dump.”
“What's the matter girl? Lost are we?”
She whipped around to see that two girls had shown up. Her guns came back out, aimed and ready.
“What is it now? Speak fast.”
“He seeks you.”
“Tell him I'm away.”
“For how long?”
“For good.”
“I warn you. You have upset many.”
“Good. What can he take away that I still have?”
The two were silent, exchanging a glance. The older one turned.
“Expect him tonight.”
She scowled and fired her guns. She slipped them back into place as she entered the building and headed up several flights of stairs. Before she could knock, the door was opened to let her in.
“Quite an entrance there.”
“Silver won't hurt them. Just seal their powers.”
“Still. What do you need?”
“An angel.”
“I believe she's out.”
“Emergency.”
“In that case, she'll be with you soon.”
“Speak fast. Silver bullets. Now.”
One of them smiled while the other answered.

“Are we in position, Draxx?” Revenge whispered.
“Yes. All positions secure.”
“Excellent.”
“Are you sure Grant won’t mind us doing this?” Draxx asked. “I mean this is his company.”
“What Grant doesn’t know, won’t hurt him.”
“That’s usually not true.”
Red Revenge laughed.
It took almost two hours for the assassin to appear. She slipped stealthily among the shadows.
“Target spotted.” Revenge said, picking up his gun and aiming it squarely at the feminine figure.
“On your signal.” Draxx radioed over.
Revenge aimed the sights, lined up the crosshairs, and pulled the trigger. The assassin began to scale the building.
“Now.” Revenge said, leaping from the roof of his company at the same minute.
