Chapter 4 3

Trinidad's POV

The annoying sound of the alarm clock woke me from my peaceful sleep, my eyes sprang open and I was suddenly on alert, it took me a few seconds to realize it was just the alarm clock ringing, I exhaled deeply and turned the clock off, I fell back to the bed with a loud sigh, I ran my palm over my face, I stayed in that position for a few minutes before I finally decided to drag myself out from bed,

I stood up sluggishly from the bed and walked over to my bathroom, my head felt heavy and my eyes begged for a little more sleep but I knew that I couldn't afford such luxuries,

Taking a deep breath, I splashed some water on my face, the water was cool and felt very refreshing when it came in contact with my skin, I splashed a few more handfuls and I didn't feel so terrible anymore,

I walked out of the bathroom with a towel in my hand which I used to towel my face completely dry, I walked over to my closet, I needed to sort out what to wear today,

I flung the closet doors open and rows of clothes I hardly wore hung on the rack, I leafed through them and finally settled for a black skinny jean and a white baggy T-Shirt that stopped mid-thigh, a caption that read "Bitches rule the world" was printed boldly in black letters on the front of the shirt, the caption certainly brought a smile to my face, I also found a pair of black and white sneakers somewhere inside my shoe rack,

I flung the clothes on the bed and walked out of my room to find something to eat, this morning, I wanted something other than left over pizza and beer, I opened the fridge when I got to the kitchen and all I found was beer and more beer, then a stray bottle of milk at the back of all the beers, I pulled it out and placed it on the counter, I opened cupboard and just when I was about to give up and maybe just have a can of beer for breakfast, I found a box of cereals that looked like it had been there a while but who gave a damn,

I brought the box of cereals along with a bowl to the counter, I poured the cereals in the bowl and then the milk followed, I mixed them together and chugged it my mouth,

It took me less than five minutes to get done with my breakfast, I rinsed my plate and spoon and placed them in their respective places, I loved things been exactly where they were supposed to be at all times, it didn't have to be clean but at least it should be orderly,

I took my bath and dressed up, I wasn't sure what to do with my hair so I just left it as it was, honestly, I hardly cared about my appearance when I wasn't on a mission, when I was on a mission, my appearance was my biggest asset, no one expected a beautiful woman to pose a threat which made my job all the more easier,

It wouldn't be bragging if I said I was one the best assassins among my peers, I had never failed a mission and I had never taken longer than expected to complete my assignments,

Though I hardly saw my brothers and sisters, that is what we were told when we arrived on the first day, we were now a family and therefore making us brothers and sisters,

I had been thrilled by the fact that I had such a big family, I found it all interesting and Mr. Perez had made me feel like I was really welcome with them.

After looking at myself in the full length mirror in my bedroom and deciding I looked anything other than a cold blooded killer, I smiled and grabbed my bag pack and headed out,

As I locked the door that morning, I wondered when I will be back here again, maybe in the next few weeks or perhaps even a month depending on how long the mission took this time, sometimes it even took longer than that,

I had once gone on a mission that took me six months, that was the longest time I had taken on a mission, though Mr. Perez hadn't said anything when I returned, I could see in it in his eyes that he was impressed, the mission was expected to take longer than that.

I was kinda hoping this mission won't be taking too much time, I hated missions that took too long.

I closed the door and put the key under the flower pot in the dead garden and went on my way.

***************

I was in Mr. Perez's office waiting for my next mission, he looked as majestic and wise as always, he was busy typing something on his computer, he always took his time with whatever he was doing, he was always calculated in his affairs, I looked up to this man and held him in very high esteem,

We were told that during his younger days, Mr. Perez was one of the most lethal killers the government ever had, throughout his years of active service, he never once failed a mission, there was a time when he had been presumed dead, he was off the grid for weeks and everyone had thought he was dead and that he had lost the mission but with just a few days left for the appointed time of the mission to be over, it was reported that the target had been killed in his home.

Mr. Perez had returned alive but he had been terribly injured, there was no doubt that he was one of the greatest of his time and I wanted to be just like him one day.

He printed out whatever it was he had been typing and placed it on a brown folder lying on his desk then handed it to me,

"That is your next mission, you are expected to travel to London tonight, your target is a man called Sean Williams, he is a rich business man in London, the mission is simple, kill him and return as soon as possible" Mr. Perez said, his voice was calm and level,

I waited further briefing on the matter, this wasn't how my previous briefings had been, he usually explained their crimes and dirty businesses but this one was different, he wasn't saying anything about the target's crimes and misdeeds,

"Will that be all Sir?" I asked,

"Yes Agent, every other information you need is that file I gave to you, this mission shouldn't be too challenging and I expect you back as soon as possible because I have some other missions for you" Mr. Perez said,

"Yes Sir, I will complete the mission and return very soon" I said,

"Excellent, you may leave now, everything you might need for this mission has already been prepared" Mr. Perez said,

"Yes Sir" I said and turned to leave,

"Good luck Agent Fox" Mr. Perez said from behind me.

"Thank you Sir" I answered and left the office.
