Only one can live.

..."Rose, Kayla, do you have your luggage? We can't waste any more time getting to NYC."...

..."Yeah Chiara, we have everything. Who did you hire to fly us over this time?"...

..."A private jet."...

..."Not bad, space for 8 people?"...

..."Yeah."...

..."Noice. You know me well."...

Chiara grinned. Kayla always needed a ton of space. Rose always sat in her seat ths whole time, hacking some stuff. The pilot was paid to not ask questions. Kayla would give him a little drink to make him forget them anyways. Otherwise he could start talking.

They were on their way to NYC, they moved somewhere new every time they got a good job somewhere far away. This time, there was a pretty big amount of money on a some guy named Nick Prince. Rose was still gathering information about him. He should be someone quite dangerous because even Z, a strong opponent of theirs, didn't want to take the mission. He said it wasn't worth it.

..."So, Rose, did ya find something on that Nick already? I'm curious to here who has is or what the fuss is about."...

..."Couldn't find something yet."...

..."Well he must be a real big deal if even Rose can't find information on him. What do you think Chiara? Maybe he is a gang boss or something."...

..."Maybe you should start mixing a few of those useful poisons. If he has a few people watching who took the mission, then he'll be ready for us so we should be ready too."...

..."I'm already on it*."...

Kayla set up her stuff on a little table. The fluids she transported in her hand luggage would be enough go cause the whole jet to explode, so luckily she was an expert and wouldn't do anything wrong. Rose seemed kind of disappointed in herself that she couldn't get that guys data. That was usually her main part. Rose got the missions and infos. Kayla got the equipment ready and Chiara did the fighting. She usually did the dirty work too.

Meanwhile, they had reached a private airport in NYC. The pilot had already gotten the "poison" so he had forgotten why and who he had flew go NYC. The assassins stepped out of the building. Kayla had given Chiara everything she needed and their leader stayed in front of them cautiously.

......"So guys, I'll bring you back to the hotel and then, I'll go to the Underground."......

..."No..."...

..."I agree with Rose, we know you are well prepared but..."...

..."You won't change my mind, come on now. Taxi!"...

A taxi screeched to stop and they got in.

......"5 Star Hotel Nightstar please. Get there in half time an I'll double your payment."......

The driver immediatly started driving. They reached the hotel in no time. Chiara gave him 50 dollars and told him to wait for her in front of the hotel. Then she took most of the luggage and lead her partners into the hotel. They took the elevator to their suite.

..."Guys, if anyone asks, I am meeting a friend in the city. I don't know when I'll be back so don't get stressed if I don't come back till tomorrow."...

..."What?! Tomorrow? Why are you taking this mission so serious? It's just money!"...

..."No. It isn't just money. I'm leaving."...

Then she slammed the door closed and locked it. She quickly went to the elevator. "Sorry. I can't tell you that what is at risk. I... I got a letter yesterday. If I don't kill him, then you die. I'm sorry, but even if I die trying to kill him at least I know, that I tried." A single tear ran down her face. She wiped it away and her face became expressionless.

Outside the hotel she looked back and smiled. "Thank you for everything sisters." Then she disappeared between the people.

..."Nick? The assassins should be on their way by now. You should get ready."...

..."There is only one coming DeVante. They aren't together."...

..."Deathwish parted? They never did that. They aren't as strong alone."...

..."*Sid is right Nick, none of them could kill you, they have no chance alone."...

..."Did you not get their pattern? One is the fighter, killer. She's coming for me. She is most likely stressed. Maybe someone is threatening her. She most likely knows she won't make it."...

..."Good point. Someone really wants you dead. The faster, the better."...

..."Exactly. Meanwhile I would expect she doesn't want me dead anymore. She is doing it for the sake of someone else."...

DeVante laughed mockingly.

..."Do you want to bet you're wrong? Cuz I doubt that this whole book you are writing us here is true."...

..."You'll see bro. Why don't we ask her ourselves tonight? I would bet she is gonna come as fast she can."...

Nick grinned at DeVante. He was actually really sure about it. He had a feeling that Reaper, the leader of Deathwish, was coming for him. He didn't feel nervous or anything though, he actually was interested what she was like. He wasn't scared of dying, even if he doubted that she'd kill him.

Meanwhile, Chiara had found someone who had been growing up with Nick and his "brothers" as he called them. She had her weapons camouflaged as all sorts of stuff and covered her face with a casual black cloth and a pair of shady, black sunglasses.

..."*So you're saying, that they often are in the club The Lucky Angel around 8 till 11 PM? Can you give me some directions?"...

..."Al'aight, but it might cost ya somethin, here nothins for free ya know*?"...

* Al'aight -> Alright

..."*How much do you want?"...

..."How much do you have*?"...

Usually Chiara would have held a gun to his head and told him she'd pay him with his own life, but right now, ever mistake could make Kayla and Rose pay with their lives.

..."*Enough."...

..."Let's say, ya give meh a hundred, then we're good*."...

She gave him a bit cash. If you're in the Underground, never show someone you have money. Never give them a hundred dollar bill. Always give them cash or you'll be dead or robbed (in the best case) in no time.

..."*If I need to find you, what name should I ask for?"...

..."Nunya*."...

*Nunya -> None of your business

..."You don't wanna be found? Well then, give me the directions and I won't bother you no longer."...

..."Ya see that restaurant of there? Go left and then right. Straight for 3 roads and then right again. You'll see it."...

Chiara left without saying another word. She walked down the street and immediatly saw the club. She looked at her phone. It was half past 7. She had 16 missed calls and 40 messages. Chiara put her phone away and started thinking about her tactic. She couldn't be outside the building because if someone saw her, everything was over. She had to be inside and act like someone that was trying to have fun.

It was time. She had bought some clothes that that would let her fit in more, but her face would still be covered enough so that no one could snitch on her if she made it. The guy from before had shown her a photo so she knew who she had to look for. Chiara slowly walked torwards the club as a black car with shady windows drove up to the entrance. The door was opened by the driver and Nick stepped out with to other boys. She told herself to keep neutral and kept walking. She paid for going jn and sat down on the other side of the club. It was quite full. Her target walked in short after her with his friends and got himself a drink. She had planned to poison him, but how should she get close enough to do so, forget the fact that should would have to put the poison in his drink without him noticing. She didn't pay attention for a second, when suddenly a guy stood in front of her and looked at her in a disgusting way.

..."Hey Girl, why don't ya show your face? We won't laugh at your ugly b*tch face."...

..."You talking to me?"...

She raised her head and saw that a lot of people were staring at them. He laughed mockingly and said something about no one should dare talk back to him. Obviously he thought he was an important guy or something. Suddenly he lunged forward while someone grabbed her hands. She freed herself in a reflex and grabbed his arm pulling it behind his back in a wierd angle.

..."Dare move or attack me and it's broken, you here me?"...

..."You think you are so great don't you? I don't care if you break my arm. No one talks back to me."...

Some pushed her and in the same moment someone pulled down the cloth covering her face. She let go of the guys arm and covered her face in a sudden movement.

..."What do you want? Leave me in peace!"...

Someone pushed her into the magic people and then she layed on the ground, people stepped on here. She couldn't breath. Then a gunshot let everything stop. The people rushed away, she quickly pulled her mask up and covered her face. She staggered to the side of the room and collapsed. "This wasn't planned. Shit. I won't get this." She didn' even notice how she started hyperventilating.

..."That's her."...

Seconds before the shot Nick had suddenly realized that she could be the Reaper. He himself had token out his gun and most likely saved her life. Why did he do that? He didn't even know himself. He thought she'd be older though. Shd seemed like 16 years old. Now she was leaning against a wall. She was panicking of something. Definetly hyperventilating.

..."*I'll be right back."...

..."Pay attention to anything sus."...

..."Of course*."...

Nick walked across the room and put a hand on her shoulder. She was breathing hard and didn't seem to notice.

..."Calm down. Panicking doesn't solve anything. You'll be fine."...

She froze. Then she adjusted her mask and turned around. Her eyes widened slightly and she took at step backwards against the wall.

..."*Calm down, I won't hurt you. You ok? Big Don gets angry fast, he'll get used to you if you come here more often*."...

She silently shook her head and seemed to think about how to get away.

..."I'm fine. I ain't coming again. I'm... just here for someone. It's over."...

Then she picked up her backpack and took an energy drink out. Only that it wasn't an energy drink. With a few fast movements that he didn't even really see it, she held a gun in her hand. Pointing it straight at his head.

..."Sorry bro, but I have no other choice."...
