Chapter 4

"Bye Jaxon," I said while waving goodbye to him.

He also waved back to me and shouted something. I can't here it anymore for I'm too far from him, but from looking at his mouth, I guess he said goodbye.

It's not my time to go home but I asked Mr. Guevara to let me go home because there is a family emergency. Well, that's a lie. The reason is not really a family emergency. Miss Ximena sent a message on my phone about the urgent meeting this afternoon.

I took the bus to get into the Boss' house.

-

"Good afternoon, Boss," I said when I already reached her place.

As usual, the place is lit with candles. When you enter this place, you will think that there's a burial ongoing because of the lights and aura, but it's not. It's just Miss Ximena's taste.

"Good afternoon. Have a sit," she said while pointing the chairs infront of her. There are several chairs inside, which I presume are over 10 chairs. I guess I'm not the only one who is included in this meeting

"Kindly wait for the others. They're already on their way," Miss Ximena said.

"Yes, Boss," I replied while sitting on the chair.

Minutes passed and the door where I came from open. Several people went inside. They are the Master Assassins and the other Fifth Rank Assassins.

"Good afternoon, Boss," the tallest Master Assassin greeted.

"Good afternoon. Let's start the meeting. Please have a sit."

When the other assassins are already on their sit, Miss Ximena stood up from her chair. She walked towards us while holding her pen.

"Rylee, how's progress of your mission?" she asked.

"It's doing well, Boss. I'm already working with him as a promodizer. I'm now getting close to him," I answered.

"Very well. Do you have any idea what you're going to do next?" she asked while writing something on her notebook.

"Yes, Boss. Actually, Jaxon invited me to have a dinner with him on Sunday, 7pm at Shengyang Restaurant."

"I suggest that we must do the abduction during that time," I added.

"I second the motion," one of the Master Assassins said.

"That's a good idea. Let's went deeper to that plan."

-

It's already 6pm when the meeting ended. All of us, assassins, went back to our respective places.

"Don't forget the plan, Rylee. I'm sure that will go well," Miss Ximena said before I leave her place.

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you," I answered.

While walking to the gate, someone tapped my shoulder.

"Oh! Ezekiel, what can I do for you?" I asked him.

"I just want to remind you to be careful," he said.

"I'm very careful with my mission, Ezekiel. I'm always doing that."

"I mean, Jaxon is very practiced criminal. There are already three assassins who went under the same missions, and all of them went the same fate."

"What?" I asked.

"All of those three assassins became so close and dependent to Jaxon, which lead them to their doom. I hope you won't get the same way," he said.

"Yeah. I'll make sure I'm not like them. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your concern," I said before leaving.
