Basic synopsis/background story

New York was a bustling city, nearly one of the largest cities in the world population wise. It had been the pinnacle metropolis of the United States of America since the late 18th century. Throughout the city, there are buildings that represent multi-millionaire companies, ranging from pharmaceutical to aerospace. During the recent years, some of these companies began to decline in profit, leading into debt and bankruptcy. With Wall Street on the verge of collapsing altogether, the US Government had poured vast amounts of money into getting these companies back onto their commercial feet, trying to get the economy back up. At least… this was what the new channels have reported during this time. What they didn’t mention was the fact that the US Government were secretly gathering the CEOs together, forming a unified body of corporations, running under one name.

Until September 2009, these plans had been put off by some of the biggest companies in the global market. Finally, when it reached October, they gave in, signing a massive contract for their companies to join one, massive corporation, which would soon become the leader of the competitive market. By December, the plans for the massive corp. were leaked into the press, where the collective name of ‘Globodex’. Many of the leading companies, mainly those that Globodex posed a threat on, soon started to compete with the massive corp, leading to either the complete breakdown of the company itself or that company joining under the massive umbrella of the group. By April the next year, the majority of the companies that resided in America and some of the Japanese companies all bore the mark of Globodex. During the time of the growth of the plan, the majority of people were happy with the creation of the group, with the economy starting to pick up around the world.

But, there were a few that didn’t, wanting Globodex gone forever, bringing the economy back down again…

For some, they have hired hitmen to attack the key people in the company, with a little chance of success. When they figured out who were trying to bring them down, Globodex struck back, hiring their own personal bodyguards and hitmen. Most of these people were the most notorious criminals and gangs that people could think of to bring these hitmen down. For every failure that these hitmen have done, another three hitmen had disappeared off the face of the planet. With little options to take for them to bring this company down, one group has decided to bring down the head of the Globodex, Dr Martin Harkess, completely. Sending one or two hitmen, depending on the seriousness of the job at hand, the people of the Gore Angels are ready to strike.

The raven haired female propped up her Barrett M-82A1 (XM107) sniper rifle up against the edge of the window sill, aiming the barrel at the target, who was sitting by the window drinking from a white mug of what appears to be hot coffee. Just as the man was taking a sip, she pulled the trigger and the rifle went off silently as the bullet found its target.

She pulled the sniper rifle away from the window and sat it down on the floor next to her. She briskly pulled out her business phone from her pocket and dialed in her contractor's number and confirmed that the target is eliminated. She checks on her laptop next to her to confirm further that the payment had been received properly and of course, it was immediately transferred the to proper box of the real account. She got up, opened the curtain enough to shut the window and released the curtain to hide the window's content of the room again.

The petite female was dressed in rather formal attire, as if preparing to get ready for a large party, a party that seems to be rather consisting of dinner parties that would be for diplomats or rather important business leaders. A silk black dress cut open at her thighs down to her ankles with straps that hung to her shoulders. The v-neck reached down towards the middle of her chest, barely showing the edges of her breasts. The dress clung to the contours of her figure, the dress dripping down appropriately in the right places around her legs as it flowed with her movements to replace her sniper rifle back into its case.

Her amber eyes reflected her quick work as she snapped the case shut, slipping on an inch heels with ribbon-straps placed delicately around her ankles. She flicked open her phone, wondering when he was going to call in time for the party which was starting in approximately thirty minutes, plenty of time to get there and set up surveillance.

"Calm down, Ai, he'll call..." she mumbled to herself as she finished clearing the empty room before she decided to head down to the car. Personally, everyone only knew her by her first name "Ai"; nothing else and nothing more but her partner knew her profile as she did his... after all, they have been partners for more than five years.

He followed his orders to a suitable degree. He knows that he has to kill his target before he could meet Ai at the dinner. As soon as the arduous meeting had finished, he followed the group of three men to their car, which was parked in an underground car park. Perfect, he thought, noticing the car that they were heading to. Not only is my target going to his car with a few bodyguards, but it's also parked on the same level as my car. This will make my life and getaway very easy. Before he followed them into the car park itself, he checked his Ruger Blackhawk .357 revolver. 4 bullets in the chambers. Another way to clear his targets and keep the cost of the bullets down on his behalf. Just in case he was left to fight another person, he always had his Sig Sauer X-Blade at hand, ready to dispatch them. Once he was ready, he opened the door to the car park, walking straight to the car of his target. When two of the bodyguards looked up at him, he struck like a deadly viper. Bang, bang! Both of the bodyguards had fallen to the ground, the blood oozing out from their heads. The third bodyguard ushered the man away from their assailant before charging, taking out a Sig Sauer P220. Once again, the Ruger barked, sending them to the ground. As his target ran away, he holstered his pistol, taking out his knife. Flipping it so he held the blade, he threw the knife towards the fleeing man, blade hissing as it went. 1 second later, the man fell to the ground, the knife making its mark on his back. Walking up slowly, he stood over the man, the pistol aimed at the man's head. "Tell your maker that I've sent you," he said, the thick mid country accent apparent. Finally, letting out a final bark, he walked away, taking the knife with him.

As he got into the car, he opened his clam shell mobile. As the call came through to another man on the end of the line, he spoke. "The job's done. They'll be suspecting the Devil's Angels had killed their men." A few minutes later, the phone hung up, the sign of his pay check done. As he pulled up to a gas station, he pulled out a suit bag and a few bullets from the box under the driver seat. As he entered the men's bathroom, he opened the bag up, pulling out a tuxedo from it. Once he placed the bloodied clothes into the bag and refilled his pistol, he left the bathroom. Most people at the gas station only saw perhaps one of the most elegant men that they have seen, with the thanks to his suit. The huge man, his body as toned as he needs it to be, could have been compared to Sean Connery from his earlier James Bond films, though he was nowhere near as handsome as the famed actor. It doesn't mean that he was handsome in his own, Colorado-state way. His short, dirty blonde hair rested on the top of his head, the gel still holding it in a spiky way. His green eyes scanned the entire room, making sure that there were no cops inside the building. Seeing that there was none inside, he got back out to the black Corvette and pulled away.

A few minutes later, he was arriving at the car park, near where the party was going to take place. Checking that his Ruger and knife were in their appropriate places, so that they would not be found by the bouncers at the party. With the knife hidden in his shoe and his pistol broken down and separated into different places on his person, he picked up his cell phone. As he went down his contacts list, he came up to one name. "Ai," he spoke, confirming that he had found the name. Pressing the call button, he placed the hearing piece of his phone near his ear. It had been a while since he had worked with his partner of 5 years. The Gore Angels are known to have two people per team, though they usually lasted for about a year before they turned on each other. Somehow, he and Ai have managed to keep their disputes to a minimum, with their urges to kill each other turned on each target that they meet. Once the phone was picked up on the other end, he spoke. "Ai, this is Harlen. Are you near the party?"

Ai was already heading down the stairs with her case when her phone rang. She flipped it open to hear his voice again, already leaving the elevator.

"Harlen, I'm about a five minutes drive from the party," she said with melodic voice that seemed soothing, heading out of the elaborate apartment building where in the streets had many men gawking at her as she came forth from the building to stand at the curb, waiting for the car to come around that Harlen was driving.

She ignored the whispers that was heard as the males walked by as well as the females.

"Ohmigod! Look at that tramp!" a woman sneered, although Ai was clearly recognizing the jealousy that came from the woman.

"Holy shit, that chick is hot!" a man said to his buddy as they walked by. She ignored them as they continued as some of the driving by males whistled in appreciation of the view that they had of her smooth legs. She could already feel their gaze scooping out her body.

Keeping her body rigid, she spoke into the cell, "I do believe I see your car." She spotted the car he was driving and waved for his attention. She was going to have to prepare to hide the weapons amongst her person in the car, having no time coming from the room to the ground floor.

Despite the rumors of the other partners in their business, they've somehow managed passed any difficult problems that they faced without having to try to kill each other. Even when Ai has heard of something unpleasant about him as a rumor, he always ended up hearing something similar and through that, they somehow managed to gain each others trust through situations that forced themselves to save the other, even without meaning to as the partnership only lasted as long as you can keep your own hide.

She flipped the phone shut when the car pulled up beside the sidewalk, and she walked to the trunk and slid the gun into it, covering it a thick blanket before making her way to the front side passenger seat. She slid into the passenger seat, much to the disappointment of the men outside.

"Let's go," she said as she opened the glove compartment to pull out the ceramic dagger that she would place into her bosom. She placed the small sheath on as she quickly slid it into place. Lifting up her leg that rather exposed most of her thigh as she delicately placed her feet on the dashboard, she slid on a strap that held several pieces of a bomb decorated on the strap as nearly flat rhinestones. She then replaced her leg down on the floor before wearing a rather realistic diamond pendant that held a non-metallic camera. Already wearing the diamond-studded earrings, she pulled out her little black hand purse that held ordinary looking women items. Quickly, before they should arrive, she pulled the laptop over her lap and her fingers began to fly over the keys as she pulled up the images she needed to see.

"Harlen, we need to get in and out as quickly as possible, otherwise, they'll catch us," Ai explained, her fingers again going into the glove compartment to pull out two rings, both of different sizes. "We need to hit our targets silently, otherwise the whole building and party will be in an uproar and we wouldn't be able to escape, but of course, you know that." This was dangerous. They had two targets and both of which will not separate from each other so getting them alone was already difficult.

Picking up the rings, she gives one to Harlen and places the other ring on her own ring finger. "And as we said before, we agreed it'd be easier to get in as a 'married couple'; of course, these aren't ordinary rings... they're supposed to have lasers come from the diamonds so we can cut rope, in case we do get captured."

She clicked the computer off as her phone rang out a small alarm, telling her it was time for the party to start, albeit a few minutes or so early. "Ready?" she asked, turning to look at her partner.

Harlan decided that Ai might not be ready and got back into the Corvette. "I'll be there in three minutes," he replied, knowing that he could get from here to her apartment in little to no time at all, with thanks to his knowledge of the city. Driving to the apartment that she was 'staying', he scanned the building where the party was, seeing it bustle with the arriving guests. Once he was done, he pulled up to the side of the curb near the set of apartments and waited. He heard comments from passers by about a woman that was slowly approaching the sports car. "I do believe I see your car." He smirked, seeing Ai coming closer. Why is it that she always has to go OTT with her appearance? he thought, looking at the outfit that she was wearing. At least with that, she won't be able to be checked by the bouncers. Not unless they want to get sacked for sexual harassment. Seeing that she was carrying the case to her gun, he popped the trunk of the car. Once done, she slid into the passenger seat, with the look of disappointment with the other people of his gender on their faces. "Let's go."

A smirk appeared on his face. "With pleasure, Ai." Shifting the car into first gear, he stepped onto the gas, forcing the car into wheel spin and pulled away from the curb fast. Once he turned off the street, he turned to look at Ai. As usual, she was getting her knife, which was more elaborate than his own, and placing it in the strap that held parts of a bomb. "I doubt that we'll need that bomb, but it might be handy." He didn't know what was going to happen, but it was better to be prepared for the unexpected. As they approached the major road that would lead them to the building. Finally, he turned to her. "You look nice tonight. Better than what I looked like earlier." It was true. His clothes were caked in blood. Unlike Ai, who liked to take out targets from a very long distance, he liked to take the kill close and personal. At least he could feel the life leaving the body when close. He looked back at Ai as she told him about their targets.

"Harlen, we need to get in and out as quickly as possible, otherwise, they'll catch us. We need to hit our targets silently, otherwise the whole building and party will be in an uproar and we wouldn't be able to escape, but of course, you know that."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure I take mine out in a discrete place, where there's not a lot of people," he said, thinking about the past Gore Angels that had failed to kill their targets with discretion. Both him and Ai, along with a few other Angels had escaped the onslaught that Globodex had sent to them. He managed to kill a few hitmen that were about to kill them both. Though he had to suffer the price of saving both of them, suffering several cuts and shot wounds on his back and shoulder respectfully. "I'm just hoping that there aren't any hitmen that could recognise us there. Those are the people that can burst our mission." Taking the ring that she gave him, knowing what it's supposed to do. "Aah, these rings. Reminds me of that time that we were sent to kill the CEOs of Martinex Corp and Haral Corp." The usual 'married couple' plan was something that Harlan and Ai used to get into the majority of the Globodex parties. It hadn't failed them yet. As they arrived at the front of the building, he turned towards her as she asked the very important question.

"Ready?"

"Ai, you should know me by now. I was born ready." Using his simple 'married couple' trick, he leant forward and kissed her on the cheek. Smiling like any 'husband' would, he opened the door and got out. He walked out and around the car, opening the passenger side door. "We're here, honey," he said, playing the usual routine again.

"I doubt that we'll need that bomb, but it might be handy."

"To be prepared is important, Harlen," she replied to that as she covered the dress over her thighs, placing a rather delicate small looking hair pin of a flower into her long raven hair that tumbled passed her hips. Most of her hair was parted on the left side of her face and her bangs hung around her face delicately, her almond amber eyes glancing over to Harlen as she glanced over his crispy clean tuxedo. "But of course, you know that."

"You look nice tonight. Better than what I looked like earlier."

"Of course, you always tend to get a bit messy with your targets," she said softly, brushing her hair back behind her right ear as she watched him drive the corvette with expert movement.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure I take mine out in a discrete place, where there's not a lot of people," he said. "I'm just hoping that there aren't any hitmen that could recognise us there. Those are the people that can burst our mission." Taking the ring that she gave him, knowing what it's supposed to do. "Aah, these rings. Reminds me of that time that we were sent to kill the CEOs of Martinex Corp and Haral Corp."

"That's the problem Harlen, they can't be separated," Ai emphasized. She listened to him speak for a moment until he finished speaking before she spoke up again. "They're together at almost all times so it's very difficult to perform this without us being at each others side... least we'd lose the ability of being able to handle them both. And even if we encounter one of the other hitmen here, I'm sure we can handle them with your Rolex watch, remember? It can dispense poison pills." When he took the ring, she watched him have the reminisce expression cross his face as he remembered.

"Ah, but in the end, we almost had ourselves killed if it weren't for these rings," she said gently, her usual full of life amber eyes dimming slightly.

"Ai, you should know me by now. I was born ready."

"Of course," she murmured as she slipped into her "wife" mode. As like a wife would, she blushed softly when he leaned in to kiss her cheek. Ignoring the strange tingly feeling his kiss left, she remained focused in her wife mode. As he got around the car and opened the door, with elegance that fits her image, she stepped out of the car, much to the gasp of many onlookers as she had both of her legs out of the car.

"We're here, honey," he said

"Yes, dear," she said, her voice soft and warm and full of admiration for her 'husband,' clear in a bit of an English accent that wasn't there before. She took his hand that he offered and stood up, most of which the onlooking women and men gasped again. She leaned up and kissed her 'husband' on the cheek as she whispered loud enough for them to hear, "Thank you, darling." Even her lips felt electrified at the touch, of which she again ignored.

She could already feel the smile touch her face as the effect she aimed for came forth in their whispers, "Oh my god! She's... unbelievablely hot!" "Damn, hey, honey, check out that woman over there!" "Forget the girl, check out the male with her!" "He's okay, but he's mighty fine though... compared to..."

She giggled softly as she held Harlen's arm as they walked in. As soon as they got in, she said softly behind her hand as it came to cover her mouth, away from the ears of others, "That was rather gratifying, most of it for your amusement though." She would have gone all the way, but she already considered this too much and all the way for her was revealing more of herself to attract even more attention.

And she only did that was because that in between the moments of the time they would use to find their targets, when they aren't trying to do surveillance or get information, etc., she finds moments like these relieving somewhat as she can get rather amused at their reactions.

Then they came to the gate where they were checked. She placed her purse into the small grey bin as it passed along on the belt to be scanned through and she stepped through the metal detector. When the bouncer came over, a slight glint in his eye, her eyes narrowed.

"Do you really think I can be hiding anything with a dress like this?" she asked, raising an eyebrow with an indignant huff.

"But I really do must check," the bouncer said, clearly intending on touching her in all the wrong places. "Now, hold still..." He could almost be seen as drooling and that she felt a shiver go up her spine as her body went almost stiff with the idea of this disgusting man touching her.

Harlan gained a small victory when Ai blushed. I know it's to make the plan look realistic, he thought, helping her out with a firm hand. At least she blushed again. In turn, she kissed him on the cheek, making the pedestrians on the sidewalk jealous "Thank you, darling." Once done, they walked, in arms, towards the entrance, with all of the guests looking at the 'celebrity couple', with both comments aimed at them. His lips curled slightly, amused by the comments from the guests about them. Most of them were aimed at Ai, but the comments aimed at him were as good too. "That was rather gratifying, most of it for your amusement though," she whispered, keeping the comment out of earshot from the others. He nodded slightly, agreeing with the comment she made. His cheek was still tingling from the kiss she gave back, though he ignored it.

“As long as we get the comments and the targets, then I’m all set,” he replied a few minutes later. They continued to walk until they reached the security gate. This was always a nervous time for him, as his disassembled gun was in the various parts of the jacket. Hopefully, the use of the tobacco pouch that the barrel was in was good enough for him to keep the gun under the radar. Placing the jacket in a separate container from Ai’s bag, he walked through the sensor. As usual, the sensor went off, with the knife, bullets and his misplaced car keys being the cause of the alarm. Pulling out the keys, as if he had forgotten to add them to the tray, his entire body was scanned, the bouncers eager to get this job done and over with. The knife and the bullets didn’t set the alarms off, which was a good thing on his behalf. Once done, he picked up his jacket and looked over to his ‘wife’. Unlike him, she was going to have trouble with the bouncer, who had that look in his eye.

Do you really think I can be hiding anything with a dress like this?" she asked, raising an eyebrow with an indignant huff.

"But I really do must check," the bouncer said, clearly intending on touching her in all the wrong places. "Now, hold still..."


As soon as he heard the words, Harlan walked over. “Excuse me, sir. I noticed that look in your eyes when you told my wife that you are going to check her for anything harmful. I doubt that she is going to have anything on her person, as all of her belongings are in her bag.” He had to think of something. Not only does he want to get the bouncer off Ai’s back, but he didn’t want to offend her in any way possible. Again, he would use his prosthetic leg excuse, which would leave her annoyed with him again. Then, remembering what the bouncer was doing earlier, he came up with something better. “Unless you want me to complain to your boss that you are sexually harassing my wife, I suggest… that you will allow us to go through.” As the bouncer walked up to him, he squared his shoulders and stood over the small bouncer. Both of them examined each other, seeing if there was a possible winner between the two of them. After a few intense seconds, the bouncer gave in.

“Sorry for the trouble, sir. It’s just my job to make sure that nothing was going to happen to any one of our guests. Please… go through.”

Thanking the apologetic bouncer for his misconduct, he linked arms with Ai again. As they were out of ear shot from the group of men at the gate, he looked at her. “Glad that I got you out of this mess?” Although he wanted to gloat about the fact that he got her out of trouble again, now was not the time to do it. They were here for one particular job, not to snipe at each other’s throats. “Now then… Shall we meet our hosts?”

"As long as we get the comments and the targets, then I’m all set,” he replied a few minutes later.

She smiled and said again, "Of course," as she looked up at him. She hadn't set anything off when she walked through the gate, yet the bouncer still insisted on her being checked out. Most of the onlookers seem rather annoyed too, now all even more unsure about going through and having this bouncer checking them, especially the females. Their dates all seemed prepared to save their female dates from sexual harassment. Ai had already picked up her purse, so all the bouncer had to do was let her through but he was clear on touching her.

“Excuse me, sir. I noticed that look in your eyes when you told my wife that you are going to check her for anything harmful. I doubt that she is going to have anything on her person, as all of her belongings are in her bag.” "Unless you want me to complain to your boss that you are sexually harassing my wife, I suggest… that you will allow us to go through.”

She was beginning to feel the tinges of her smug grin when her "husband" stood up to the bouncer for trying to sexually harass her. And then he let her through, and she picked up her purse and linked arms with him. This time, she was glad he didn't use the prosthetic let excuse, otherwise she would have been annoyed with him because she didn't like that idea very much.

But the thing was, she now owed him a favor for saving her from the bouncer. She sighed softly to herself about that.

“Glad that I got you out of this mess?” Although he wanted to gloat about the fact that he got her out of trouble again, now was not the time to do it. They were here for one particular job, not to snipe at each other’s throats. “Now then… Shall we meet our hosts?”

"Yes... and I know you want to gloat," she said as she looked up to her partner. "Although, now isn't the time." She shrugged and nodded at his suggestion to meeting the hosts.

"Yes, time to get to business," she said, her eyes focusing partially wife-like and as her professional hitman look as she scanned the crowd for their targets. They were found a moment later and she led him over so that they could greet the hosts.

"Thank you for inviting us," she gushed, just like how a normal wife would, her accent back in place again. She pulled out of her purse a small present, one that didn't seem to contain anything harmful as it was passed through okay in the scanner. "A gift for your invite." She smiled and glanced up at her "husband" for a moment.

"Yes... and I know you want to gloat. Although, now isn't the time."

"I know this isn't the greatest time for me to gloat now. We're on a mission, so us sniping at each other isn't going to help us complete it." He looked around the place, trying to find their targets and the host of the party. He thought back to when the orders were given out to both of them. Even though their contractor, who was a man from a Japanese company, was usually calm when it comes to the profit margin, he really didn't like the fact that Globodex had decided to compete with them. Unfortunately for him, the massive corporation was winning that battle. So, in order for him to succeed in the marketplace, he hired the Gore Angels to take out two of the key figures of the corporation. Both of them worked underneath the CEO, Dr Martin Harkess. Working both as the head of the two areas of aerospace and electronic gadgets, the two targets were, indeed, a couple in their own right. They have been married for over 1 year already, but they are some of the best senior staff that Globodex has. As Ai had pointed out, they were very difficult to be separated. Not unless you push the right buttons, which is what Harlan was going to do.

As he and Ai met up with the host, which to his surprise was one of their targets, Harlan looked around for any hitmen that might ruin the 'couple' 's plan. So far, there were none that he could see. He watched as she picked the present out of her purse and give it to them. He had only guessed what was inside the package, though he wasn't sure what it was. He listened to his 'wife' talk to their targets. "A gift for your invite." Then, she turned up to him and smiled. Smiling back, he kissed her again, this time on her neck. This maybe over the top, but at least it will make them believe that we're a married couple, and not some people faking to be a couple. Either way, it was something that was going to make her blush again.

"As my wife has said, thank you for inviting us. It is an honour to meet some of our employers in person. Even with this economic crisis going on, at least our company is still keeping its head above the water."

"It's no problem, Mr & Mrs McAuly," the host had replied. It was a name of the company that Mr and Mrs McAuly used to run. That is, until Harlan and Ai met them. Since then, they've adopted the name for all of their assassination missions. "It's a good thing that we get to meet all of our employees of Globodex in one place. It's a shame that Dr Harkess can't join us, due to negotiations in Hong Kong. As for the party, as long as there's no 'assassins' entering the party and try to kill anyone here, then it's going to be a good, now how do I put it, soirée." Shit! There's no Harkess in the building! There goes the chance of taking down Globodex again. He would know that Ai would be disappointed with the news as well, since the CEO was the only person that would probably bring down the massive enterprise to rubble. "Still, I'm feeling a little bit thirsty. Would you like anything, David?"

Harlan, despite not being able to kill the CEO tonight, focused on the job at hand. "Don't worry. I'll get the drinks. It's going to be likely that I'll be going to the bar often tonight to get my wife a drink." He smiled at the trio, winking Ai a secret message. He walked towards the bar, passing through the crowd of people. "4 glasses of champagne please," he ordered, sitting down in the chair. As the white wine was being poured, he pulled off one of his shoes, as if trying to find a stone. Pulling out the concealed knife from its hiding place, he put his shoe back on, placing the knife into his trouser pocket. As the glasses were given to him, he looked at his watch, pressing the button to light up the screen. However, unknown to everyone that was inside the room, a small, white tablet was ejected from one of the links of the watch. The capsule instantly dissolved in one of the glasses, leaving it slightly more fizzy than the other three. Once he grabbed the glasses, he turned and walked back to the trio, the poisoned glass of champagne in his right hand.

As he arrived, he gave out the drinks to everyone, giving the poisoned one to the husband of the targets. Once done, he handed out the rest of the drinks in no particular order. Raising his glass slightly, Harlan began to speak. "To Globodex. The best thing that came along since… well… since my beautiful wife."

"I know this isn't the greatest time for me to gloat now. We're on a mission, so us sniping at each other isn't going to help us complete it."

"Yes, yes," she said softly, almost rolling her eyes but had resisted. "Hence why I said 'this isn't the time for it'." She sighed silently as some of the men scooped her out, although she didn't notice. She looked up at him for a moment, letting her mind wander for just a split second, although she knew she shouldn't. She wondered for that moment, why she felt... tingly when she touched his skin...

She snapped out of it, forcing herself to become aware of the scenery around her. Ai realized suddenly that one of the hosts was the husband of the target and she immediately looked around for the wife. She was nearby, talking and laughing with some of the guests she was talking to. Why did this mission have to be so up close, she thought. She didn't like... watching them drain of blood, although this was her job. She can do that under a veil of darkness but, in the light...

She blinked when they approached the hosts, hence the gift. However, she wasn't expecting anything from Harlan than for him to smile back so when he leaned down to kiss her on her neck, she felt a jolt of electricity pass through her body, a stronger version of the tingly sensation she had felt earlier. And the very ironic part of it all, was that he had kissed a sensitive part of her, causing her to blush a pretty crimson color that would cause many men to be envious and wishing that they were the cause of it. When he was about to leave contact, she breathed, barely able to keep in her sudden surprise of emotions, "Harlen...!" Of course, no one heard it but him.

"Oh, thank you," the target said, taking the small gifted box. Before he could say anything to his wife, Harlen spoke up again.

"As my wife has said, thank you for inviting us. It is an honour to meet some of our employers in person. Even with this economic crisis going on, at least our company is still keeping its head above the water."

"It's no problem, Mr & Mrs McAuly," the host had replied. "It's a good thing that we get to meet all of our employees of Globodex in one place. It's a shame that Dr Harkess can't join us, due to negotiations in Hong Kong. As for the party, as long as there's no 'assassins' entering the party and try to kill anyone here, then it's going to be a good, now how do I put it, soirée." "Still, I'm feeling a little bit thirsty. Would you like anything, David?"


She only nodded at the right moment when Harlen finished speaking and listened to what the host was speaking about. The meetings and such until the bit about Dr. Harkess not being here due to a meeting in Hong Kong. She almost hissed under her breath were it not for her trying to keep herself in control, what after that sudden surprise in sudden emotion that... she couldn't pinpoint what it was even though it felt so familiar. They were going to have to try harder to take him down, but first, the assignment.

"Don't worry. I'll get the drinks. It's going to be likely that I'll be going to the bar often tonight to get my wife a drink." He smiled at the trio, winking Ai a secret message.

She looked up at Harlen when he spoke up again. She smiled back at him, knowing full well that even if they were going to drink together, she was the designated driver and she herself never fancied herself a heavy drinker but she could very well hold her alcohol. She noticed his wink when the host turned to talk to the other host who was talking to the target. Then the target called his wife over to open the gift and placed the diamond necklace around her neck.

"Thank you very much," she gushed, delighted with the necklace. That was when Harlen came over with the drinks. Her eyes gleamed when she realized what was in his drink and when he handed out the rest of the drinks, she looked up to Harlen.

"Dear, let me see your watch a moment, I want to see the time," Ai said softly, though clearly loud enough for their group to hear. Her fingers curled carefully around his wrist to look at the watch. For a weak moment, she flicked through the watch to dispense a poison pill. "Goodness, is that an ice feature of the logo?" Ai suddenly said, causing them to turn away a moment and she moved with speed that was unable to be seen, dropped the second pill into the second target's drink. It quickly disappeared into the drink as the hosts turned back to face them.

"It is, quite beautiful, isn't it?" the female target said with a smile.

"To Globodex. The best thing that came along since… well… since my beautiful wife."

Ai raised her glass and was about to sip when he mentioned the last bit. Her face touched pink again and she looked up at Harlen while taking a sip. When she finished, she cast her glance at the two targets. They successfully watched them drink down the poison before they handed off their empty glasses to a passing waiter who gave them another one. She smiled when they offered but she declined. They drank that one down a bit too before leaving it more than half way empty.

"Now, we must mingle amongst the other guests, we shouldn't hog the hosts all to ourselves," Ai said after they finished speaking, finishing their second, no... third or fourth one. They have been here for awhile now and Ai and Harlen had only arrived a few minutes ago. Placing her arm around Harlen's, they moved away from the hosts.

"All right, we'll catch up later," the target said before turning away towards the other guests.

They moved towards a more deserted area, and the people moved away, understanding a husband's and wife's privacy. As she stood back to the wall, she murmured, "Now, we should leave before..."

It was immediate. After they had left, the targets had begun to have spasms and fell over as they collapsed to the floor. This was the dangerous part now: to escape a locked down building.

"Secure the area!" the head security shouted. "No one leaves the building!"

She clenched on Harlen's sleeve, her expression scared as a wife should of a big business.
