I was a mercenary for a hidden organization within my city. The city was filled with crime bosses, the ruthless ones who killed anyone who looked at them wrong. It was also filled with deep pocket moneybags, the kind who build expensive houses just to throw parties and have a dozen cars they never use. One of those moneybags in particular was my target for the night. Mr. Schlett was one of the wealthiest people within the city, even if he gained his riches from shady practices. I didn’t care how he got his money. I wasn’t much better within my organization. I had been tasked with taking out a middle man who was supposed to be taking information and hush money to Mr. Schlett. I had been told to kill him discreetly and take his briefcase full of money and files back to my organization. The middleman had been invited to a masquerade ball at Mr. Schlett’s home. It would be filled with people, all of whom were in the high class ranking. It was dangerous, but I snuck inside the masquerade ball with my own black mask and black suit on. I blended right in. I had eyes on the target, weapons ready in the pockets of my suit when I spotted my rival from across the room. She was from the opposing organization. Of course she was here…tonight wouldn’t be so easy anymore.
