BLACK

CHAPTER 2

"Why is she taking so long?"

Chase grumbled from the backseat of the range rover.

"It is your first mission with her, right?" Ripper asked. He was sitting next to Chase in the backseat. His tattoed skin covered by black clothing. Three chains hanging from his neck. A cross pendant resting atop his chest.

"Yeah"

"That is why you are getting impatient already. She takes her time. Always. " Ripper have been to a few missions with Black. He knows her enough to predict what she would be doing now.

"She likes to play with her prey."Kylane, who was sitting on the driver seat all this time, silently watching the empty streets for any threats, finally decided to put an input into the conversation.

"Have you been on other missions with her too?"Chase asked Kylane curiously.

"What are you asking, mate? He is like her partner in crime. They are like the badass duos that comes in the movies. They do literally every mission together. Thought you already knew that. "Ripper said. His tone laced with disbelief.

"No, man. Like I said, this is my first time on a mission with the west wing. I usually work with the east. "Chase replied.

"Oh. So you work with Victor? "Ripper asked.

"Yeah, mostly. "

The name Victor brought a wave of pure anger throughout Kylane. His grip on the steering wheel tightened to the point at which his knuckles turned white. The unresolved feud between Kylane and Victor is a tale that have danced throughout each and every pair of ears in the Secret Gun.

Kylane's string of thoughts were cut short as the car door slammed shut and the passenger seat was occupied by Black.

"How did it go?" Kylane asked as he started the car engine and began driving.

"Pretty easy. The guy was drunk and arrogant. So I had fun. How did your part go Ripper?" Black asked as she fastened her seat belt.

"We were lucky. The whole gang was having a party or something at a club. That place was packed with guys from our Red list. So we took the chance and blew up the whole club with the help of Chase and his pipe bombs. I told you he would come handy" Ripper proclaimed proudly since it was his idea to ask chase to tag along in this mission. Black gave an appreciative nod to Chase and proceeded the questioning. "Did you get the staffs out?"

"Yes.And before you ask how, it was very easy. We went to the backroom which was for the staffs and kylane threatened everybody in there that he will shoot them all if they didn't get all their coworkers and leave the club in two minutes. Everybody was scared shitless although there was this one chick with blonde hair who was checking out Kylane. "

Ripper was very talkative. He was some of the 'nice to be around' people in the Secret Gun unlike Black and Kylane who maintained direct contact only with a handful of people including ripper. But he would go through a personality switchonce his mission mode is activated. He would become an efficient and deadly assassin in the blink of an eye.

Kylane was a different story. He was similar to Black in character. His bulging muscles only made him more intimidating along with his hostile demeanour. His dark blue eyes and light brown hair always managed to attract the opposite gender. His strength and combat skills earned him a respectful position in the Secret Gun, the second in command of the west wing.

The first in command is Black, the only woman in the organisation. Her efficiency in leadership and her firearm and combat skills immediately shut down all the ridiculers who doubted her due to her gender. Her fierce hatred towards men who use and hurt women became her drive to make each and every mission successful. Every member of the Secret Gun respected her bravery and feared her anger. She was a solitary creature. She trusted almost no one. The one thing that make her the most deadliest assassin in the whole organisation is the fact that she enjoyed her missions, the groans of pain and trace of fear in the eyes of her victim. She enjoyed killing.

"Did anybody see you?" Black asked while checking the rear view mirror to make sure nobody is following them.

"No. I guess not. But I think two bouncer guys were looking our way when we sneaked into the basement of the club to set up the bombs. I thought they were gonna follow us but they didn't." Chase finally decided to put in his words into the conversation.

A smug smile lit up Kylane's face as he added what Chase missed."Because they are dead. "
