Vilhelm’s Origins: Book 1

Vilhelm's POV It hasn't been a minute and my boss already sent me a message, saying I have another target for today. The message didn't say anything about who the target is or how they look like, it only gave exact information about where to find them. My boss has always been brief and laconic when it came to explaining missions. Still, I didn't mind since I had no choice but to be a spy for hire. Well, the other end of the stick was to be a killer for hire, which I wouldn't bother being. It's more work, less pay and honestly? I love being on the right team, playing along with the good guys. I was supposed to find my target somewhere around this dead-end highway that hasn't been repaired for God knows how long. I looked at my clock. It was a bit after midnight. Where the f**k is this person I'm supposed to arrest? I thought I heard something, so I pulled out my mini-gun and began walking softly. Then I heard it again: a distinct female voice, screaming her lungs out. It was a very loud "Help!" indeed. I moved further and found a car that's hit a tree with broken back window and an arm extended from it, covered with blood. I grabbed that arm and pulled the person out of the car. When we were a safe distance away from it, the girl I just rescued pulled something out of her pocket that had a button on it and pressed it. The car exploded. "What the f**k?!" - I yelled, after the explosion was over. "Why did you do that?" "I never leave any evidence behind. Better to be safe than sorry." - the girl replied with a smirk. "Evidence for what?" - I asked, still wide-eyed. The only thing I actually hated about my job were the explosions. Yeah, I hate those. "I escaped a criminal organization's facility. Finally, some freedom." - the girl started stretching. Who knows how long had she been in that car. I guess it was very uncomfortable for her. She had short spiky-black hair and was wearing a black coat with a multi-colored sark. After she said what she said, I received a message and looked down at my phone. It was from my boss and it said the name of the target and what to do with them. A photo of their file was also attached. Apparently their name was Josephine Suitski. "Wait, what's your name again?" - I raised a brow. "Josephine. But you can call me 'Jay'." - the girl with spiky black hair said and winked as she pointed me with her index finger. "Josephine? As in, Josephine Suitski?" - I continued. The girl frowned and looked at me suspiciously. "Yeah? Why?" - she crossed her arms, seeming defensive. "You're under arrest." - I pulled out my big blaster gun and pointed it at... Jay. She, however, didn't raise her hands. "Everything you say or do can and will be used against you." "What are you arresting me for?" - Josephine asked. "Um, for impersonating 54 different people, stealing their identity ??? their money. Is that a good enough reason?" - I replied sarcastically. "I was ???? to do that, hello? I was kidnapped when I was 9 by a criminal organization named Kozmodius. They made me do terrible things, yeah, it wasn't pretty at all. But I had no choice. If I didn't obey, they were gonna kill me." - I just listened and didn't know what to say. "Look, I don't know who sent you, but I'm not a bad guy. I just freed myself from the bad guys and I'll start living a normal life. Just let me go." At that moment I received another text message from my boss. ?'? ?????, ? ????'? ???? ?? ??? '??????'. ????????? ?? ???? ??? ???????. ?? ??? ?????? ???? ?? ??????? ??? ?? ?????? ??? ?????? ??? ??? ?????? ?? ??????. ??, ??? ??? ???? ??? ???? ?? ??? ??? ???. ?'?? ?????? ??? ???? ?? ? ??? ??????? ????????. - was what the message said. I lowered my gun. "Apparently there was a mistake. You're my new partner as it turns out." - I frowned and sighed. "Oh, really? I get to be a spy? How cool!" - Jay started dancing around like an i***t. "Yeah, I guess. Wait, how did you know I was a spy?" - I raised a brow. "Your outfit kinda gives you away." - the black-haired girl replied. "Plus, I've fought spies before. I know how you guys look like." "Oookay. But tell me this then. How did you impersonate so many people?" - after I asked that, Jay snapped her fingers and transformed into... me. It was insane, it was like looking at a mirror. How... How did she do that? No... it can't be. She's one of ????...
