I Love You, Psycho

Chapter 1

As I enter the large door of this house, the dark walls and scent of man's perfume greeted me and the others. I look around amd notice that we are over 20 inside, excluding the well-built men in their tuxedo.

I'm sure that all of us received a message from our Boss, saying that we must gather here in the mansion. By just looking at the posture and clothes of the other people here, I can say that they're also assassins. Some of them has number 1, 2, or 3 in their uniform, indicating their rank, but mostly have number 4.

"Why do you think the Boss sent us here? New mission?" a manly-voice from beside me asked.

I take a glance at the man who talked. I know that he's talking to the other person near him, but I can't stop myself from listening to their conversation. I look at his uniform and realized that he is a new assassin, rank 1.

"Maybe. I don't know neither. This is the first time that the Boss did this," the other man answered. I bet he is also a new assassin like the other one.

I walked to the front to see if the Boss has already arrived. Instead of seeing the Boss infront, five other assassins showed up from the curtain. All of us immediately lower our heads and our left knee touches the cold tiling of the house.

"The Boss," the five Master Assassins said in chorus.

"has arrived."

In just a matter of seconds, a lady in her black coat and white pants showed up from the left side of the Master Assassins. The Master Assassins kneel on the floor while putting their right fist on their right chest and bowing their heads. We also did the same.

"You are all gathered here because I'm going to say a special and important announcement. Once I call your name, step forward," the Boss stated.

The Master Assassin with the orange katana handed a clear folder to the Boss.

"Thank you, Kiriya" the Boss said to the Master Assassin. Kiriya bow her head and step back to her original position.

The Boss opened the folder and smiled.

"Jeremiah Eastin," she started calling the names of different assassins.

A well-built man walked forward. The Boss ordered him not to kneel down and just stand up straight.

"Ian Greyson," she continued on calling different names. "Autumn Smith," she added.

Several names have been called and all of them are moving infront. By scrutinizing each and everyone infront, all of them are Rank 1 assassins. There's a part of my mind saying that they'll be promoted. That's the only thing I think based from I am seeing now.

I look at my side to see if the man earlier was called, and I didn't see him together with his comrade. Maybe they were called earlier.

The Boss stood up while still holding the folder.

"Congratulations, all of you are promoted as Rank 2 Assassin. Keep it up."

After the Boss' words, everyone clapped their hands for the new Ranked Assassins. The new Rank 2 Assassins bow down for the Boss and gave their gratitude to her.

When they went back to their place, the Boss started calling different names again. As expected, some of the old Rank 2 Assassins were promoted, while the other were left behind. I heard someone curse when the Boss didn't call his name.

At last, the Boss is now calling the names of Rank 4 Assassins who will be promoted. I close my eyes and praying that my name will be called.

"There are only three people who are promoted as Rank 5 Assassin. To those three, advance congratulations," the Boss declared.

"Theodore Thomasian," the first name was called.

"Axel Brown," the second name was called.

I close my eyes tightly and keep on praying for my name to be called.

"And the last new Rank 5 Assassin, Rylee Carter."

I took a breath of relief when the Boss finally called my name. I walked in front and stood uo straight while looking at the Boss.

"Congratulations. Keep up the good work," the Boss clapped her hands for us.

"It's an honor," the three of us answered.

After some ceremonies, the Boss ordered us to go home to celebrate for our promotion. While those who weren't promoted werr ordered to strive for more strength and power.

"Rylee Carter," a voice from behind called my name.

I took a glance at my back and immediately put my right fist on my left chest when I saw that it's one of the Master Assassins.

"What can I do for you, Sir?" I asked.

"Just call me Ezekiel. Besides, I'm just a new Master Assassin so no need for so much respect," he said.

"Right, Sir Ezekiel."

"By the way, Miss Ximena wants to talk with you. Meet her in her office," he said before leaving.

I walk as fast as I can so that I can reach the Boss' office as soon as possible. The Boss doesn't want to wait for too long. I don't want to have a bad image for I'm just a newly promoted Rank 5 Assassin.

When I'm already infront of the Boss' office, I knocked the door first.

"Come in," a lady's voice from inside said.

I opened the door slowly and then entered the room.

"Boss," I said while bowing my head.

"Have a seat, Miss Carter," the Boss offered me the seat infront of her.

Only the two of us are inside office. Even if the air conditioner is open, my palms are sweating. I always feel nervous whenever Miss Ximena called me in her office. I feel like I did something that disappointed her.

"Miss Carter, I have a new mission for you," Miss Ximena said. My nervousness lost when I hear those words from her.

"What is it, Boss?" I asked.

"This mission is one of the most important mission that I gave to you," she opened the drawer in her table and get the envelope inside. She handed it to me.

"Your next mission is to abduct Jaxon Evans. He is the most wanted murderer in the country. That envelope contains all of the information that the research team gathered," she explained. "Your mission is to abduct him. Just abduct him. But if time comes that he tried to kill you, kill him. You have 10 days to do your mission."

"That urgent, Boss?" I asked. Normally, a mission will last for a month. Three weeks is the shortest time alloted to me while 2 months is the longest. One week is too short for me to abduct the criminal, knowing that he is the most wanted murderer in the country.

"Yes," she answered shortly. I didn't bother to ask more question. I need to start my mission right now.

"Thank you, Boss. I'll do this right away," I said before leaving the office.

I look at the envelope. This mission will be a key for me to be better. Once I complete this mission, I will be promoted as a Master Assassin. That's my father's dream for me.

I'll abduct this criminal. Be ready, Jaxon Evans.
