Nora carefully adjusted her bag over her shoulder. This was going to be a lot messier than most of her jobs were. Usually she went with poison or some sort of trap, but now she had to go in with her guns and her knives and do this all head on. She hadn’t had a job like that in a while. There was a chance it could actually be pretty fun. And she did have to make sure she was in practice for any sort of job that she got sent on.
By the time she was actually going in, Nora had been watching this guy for a few weeks. She knew his schedule - he sort of had a sad life, honestly, she wondered if maybe she was doing the man a favor - she knew his house. This was, she hoped, going to be fairly quick.
His window was unlocked, and Nora slipped in through it, sitting on the ledge before she dropped down to her feet since she didn’t want to make too much noise. Still, she paused before she started moving. Something was off. The day it was, the time of night, he should have been about to come home from the bar he went to, and for some reason, she heard the t.v. playing out in the living room.
Nora had her gun at the ready, and her knife where she could get to it easily too. When she stepped out to the living room, what she definitely didn’t expect to see was some guy. Not her guy, a different guy. One she hadn’t seen the whole time she was tracking her actual target.
"Now who’re you? ‘Cause you sure as shit aren’t supposed to be here or I would’ve gotten paid a lot more than I did." Nora raised an eyebrow, trying to see if she recognized the guy at all. Which she definitely didn’t.
Jeffrey Fredericks wasn't on anyone's nice list, but he was on an impressive number of naughty lists. There was a good reason for that - he was a dick. Not just any dick, but the kind that didn't pay for certain services. Being on the run wasn't cheap, but it was easy when you had the skill sets the doll did. Almost all of them. That didn't mean he liked being forgotten about when payday came around.
An unexpected visitor, how nice. Alpha hardly paid any attention to the female besides a quick glance. Oh, she was packing, too. Now it was a party. The bowl of popcorn was placed in his lap, patting the couch seat next to him, as if he actually wanted her to join him. "Can you believe this guy? He has reduced fat popcorn. Who eats reduced fat popcorn? It's popcorn!" The blonde man in the bespoke suit enjoys kettle corn, but that wasn't important. Well, the majority of him enjoys the sweet popcorn variety.
That was a completely different story. The remote control in his other hand continued to flip through the channels. "He has almost eight hundred channels and there is nothing on. That's what's causing the downfall of society as we know it. When there were only five channels, people were happy, life was simpler." What was he going on about? Certainly not about the stench coming from the front foyer. It was distinctly metallic in nature, almost copper-like.
"Excuse me - he had almost eight hundred channels. My bad." Direct eye contact with made this time, flicking a pearly smile her way that screamed of instability. Yet, he wore it well.
