Exasperated Feathers || Zack & Kaylee

She shook her head, and considered Carlaâs words. They were, while harsh, true. Someone above her didnât have a need to eliminate her. Someone below her might, but they couldnât get her contracts without help.Â
âUnless thereâs a serious bribe going on with one of my superiors. Someone on the outside pissed cause I took out their buddy, or someone below me looking to move higher in ranks.â A better record meant better contracts, and a bigger payout. As of right now, no one in the guild made more than Aiden did. âBut they wouldnât take me out if they could take out my brother. And despite him being top dog, Iâm harder to get to.â
Zack and Carla glanced at each other. âOkay, so... maybe - and bare with me on this, because itâs a bit of a long shot, but the only reasonably believable thing I can think of - someone below you in that whole assassin ranking game thing knows about the magic world,â Carla suggested, glancing back at Kaylee with a shrug. âAnd maybe, considering he or she are probably well aware you would kick their ass if they attempted to take you on personally, they instead hired a would-be supernatural assassin to attempt to do the work for them?âÂ
Zack considered this for a moment. âIt is a plausible story; there are many creatures of the magic world that would happily take such a situation into their own hands - and have the capability of finding aid with others. What are your thoughts, Kaylee?â
