The Assassin

Chapter Eight

She went to the door and opened it.

"Sean, what brings you here?" Angel asked.

"I was just checking up on how you were doing, didn't you hear that a man committed suicide just around this area?" Sean replied and Angel widened her eyes.

"Oh, really? That's... horrible." Angel stated and Sean nodded.

"Yeah I know so we must take extra precautions." Sean worriedly said and Angel smiled.

"Don't worry, I will. I'm fine by the way and I'm just on my way to get a... cup of coffee." Angel tried changing the subject and Sean bought it.

"Oh really? Can I come with you? I love a cup of coffee in the morning." Sean suggested.

"Sure, why not." Angel agrees. "Let me just change my clothes."

"Okay, can I umm... can I come in?" He shyly asked.

"Make yourself feel at home." Angel stepped aside and let Sean in.

"Thanks."

After Angel changed, they both left the apartment and went to the coffee shop.

"Any preferred coffee? This time my treat." Sean offered and Angel looked at the menu.

"I'll have Hot chocolate and cinnamon bun." She ordered and Sean nodded.

As they were eating, Angel couldn't stop thinking about the guy she saw last night. She knew that it was him who killed the guard but what she didn't understand is why did she defend the killer instead of telling the truth. Somehow, deep inside her, she has a feeling that she should know who the killer was.

"Angel? Did you hear what I just said?" Sean questioned.

He's been talking to Angel for a while now but Angel seems to be in a different world and it was obvious that she was in a deep thoughts.

"O-oh, what? Sorry I didn't hear a word you said." She apologized and Sean sadly smiled.

"I… was just asking if you'd like to see the movie with me? Tonight? You know we can hangout more and…" Sean's voice started to fade away as Angel saw the same guy that she saw last night.

"I'm sorry but I have to go. Thanks for the treat." She excused herself and immediately leave to follow the guy.

"Oh, it's okay! We'll just watch next time!" Sean exclaimed while letting out a frustrated sigh because his plan to confess had failed. "Stupid! You're so stupid Sean!"

Today was the day where Lucifer's group, the Phantom Troupe, planned to rob one of the biggest banks in the city. To make their plan successful, there will be a bloodbath inside the bank and each member must do their assigned job.

Angel saw Lucifer entering the bank so she followed him inside without getting seen. He was disguised as one of the customer, and so as the other members. Angel wasn't aware of the danger that she put herself in.

The Phantom Troupe made their moved. Shane managed to kill all the cameras, Phinks had taken down the security guards, Leo had the Manager opening the safe, Kolleen removing the emergency alarm and Lucifer ready to kill anyone on sight, while the rest of the members waited for their turn to act.

Everything was going according to plan until Lucifer saw Angel. He widen his eyes as soon as she spotted her and he was frozen in his place. His mind went blank and his body felt numb, not knowing what to do. He was supposed to kill everyone after Kolleen had taken the emergency alarm off but he might not be able to do it because of Angel.

"Lucifer come in!" Kolleen called at the device that Shane created where people can hear anyone just like a walkie talkie. "Lucifer the alarm had been taken down, you got fifteen minutes to eliminate everyone."

When Lucifer didn't reply, Shane knew that something was wrong so he went to check on him and as soon as he saw Angel, he knew exactly what was going on. Angel made eye contact with Lucifer and Lucifer made a gesture for her to hide. Although Angel couldn't understand what he was trying to tell her.

'Damn it!' If something happens to her, I will never forgive myself!' Lucifer thought while clenching his fist.

"Well this is interesting." Shane muttered to himself before hiding himself from Angel.

"What's going on Lucifer? Why haven't you started your part yet?" Patricia, the Gunner of the troupe asked.

She has short, straight blonde hair that reaches to her neck and lavender eyes. She was wearing a dark purple suite, reminiscent of a working woman suite that exposed her cleavage, and a pair of red sandals.

Lucifer didn't know what to say or what to do. He couldn't just start killing everyone, yet alone include Angel in it. He made eye contact with Shane and as soon as he saw him, he knew that things were about to get messy but at least Angel will be safe. He gave him the look 'You better keep her safe' which Shane understood and he nodded.

"Okay I'm going in!" Patricia stated and entered the bank while the other members waited outside just in case someone manages to escape. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid that the bank is now closed." 

Patricia got her assault rifle and started shooting everyone. People started screaming and looking for a place to hide. Shane immediately pulled Angel out of safety and hid her in a cabinet.

"Whatever happens, do not go out until the police arrives. Do you understand me?" Shane said seriously and Angel was shocked.

"Shane, is that you?" Angel asked, giving Shane a surprise because he never expected that she would recognize him.

"I don't know who you are but just do what I say and do not go out of this cabinet, it is far too dangerous for you out there." Shane closed the door of the cabinet without saying another word.

He then gave Lucifer a peace sign, meaning that Angel is safe. This is when Lucifer got out his dagger and started killing people that was near him. Three more members entered and started getting the money out of the safe. By the time all the people was dead, they all assembled.

Angel tried peeking through the holes of the cabinet to see what was happening and she saw the same killer approaching Shane. She also saw all the dead bodies around him and widens her eyes as she thought that he was also going to kill Shane.
