Another Spy
Cleopatra's POV
The air around here feels familiar as I sniffed around after regaining consciousness.
I peered through the blindfold covering my eyes, trying to make out my environment. Whoever they are, I'll make them beg me to take their lives and not spare them.
My eyes widened as I recognized the hand that took the blindfolds off minutes later. It couldn't be… it was beta jack!
“What the fuck is going on here Beta Jack?” I asked, utterly shocked.
“We wanted you to come home for another brief mission,” he replied with a distracted gaze like the explanation just made sense.
“And you couldn't call me on the phone? Like why was I kidnapped? Didn't you think I would feel insulted by this?”
“Why? Cause the great Cleopatra was easily kidnapped?” he asked mockingly, “Just chill and hear the mission, but first, Alpha suggested the kidnapping ploy to throw Williams off so he can trust you the more, you're welcome.”
I looked at him silently praying that something could just fall from the sky and crush him. “I had everything under control… Beta Jack.”
“And for the mission,” he continued, ignoring my words, “You are to go to the human world and take care of the lawyer that visited Williams today.”
I looked at him like he was possessed by some demon. Kill a human when he didn't do anything wrong to me? That is unheard of!
“Why do I have to kill a human? Isn't that against our traditions?”
“Alpha commanded you to do so and you have no right to question that! You are to find out the deal he has with Alpha Williams and kill him afterwards,” he said dismissively, “Matt will provide everything you need. Get it done ASAP and get back here before the dawn of tomorrow.”
Different thoughts ran through my mind all at once. How did he know about the lawyer? Is there another spy among Alpha William's men? If I remember correctly, someone left the back door open for my abductor. Who could it be?
I've never had to kill a human before. This is wrong but it is our Alpha’s order and I have no right to refuse.
One of our men, Matt, gave me the necessary information about the target and pointed to a Honda CRF250R motorcycle parked at the entrance. I went into the pack house and entered my room. I sat on the foot of my bed and screamed into my hands, frustrated.
Soon enough I got up and searched through my wardrobe. I slipped on a pair of black tight pants with a matching top, then I threw on a black hoodie and some boots for my legs.
I hid some pocket knives discreetly in my outfit and then grabbed my black nose masks from the drawer. With one look at myself in the mirror, I headed out and before long, I was on top of the motocycle, driving into the city.
“This cannot end well,” I muttered to myself.
I found myself hours later, standing close to the location on the piece of paper.
It was a modest home.
I waited patiently like a predator until it was dark. I crept into the house through an open window and landed carefully in a room. It looked like a child's room.
Ignoring the tugging feeling deep in my chest, I quietly left the room, scanning carefully not to be detected. I peered from the place I hid and spotted the family having dinner. I went into the bathroom, waiting patiently for the right time to burst out.
“You promised that you won't go there anymore,” I heard the woman tell the husband as she made her way upstairs.
“Yes but we need the money, we have another child on the way Cece,” he said with distress laced in his voice.
“And you didn't think to discuss it with me? What she doesn't know can't hurt her right?” she yelled.
This is getting very awkward.
I waited until I heard a door bang shut and the bathroom door swung open. I emerged from behind the door and clamped his mouth shut while pinning his other hand back. I could just snap his neck and he would be dead.
“Don't you dare make a sound,” I said to him quietly, closing the bathroom door with one foot, “The moment you raise an alarm, you'll be dead and your family too.”
“Please don't hurt me, I'm a father, my wife's expecting another child, please… don't kill me I'll give you whatever you want,” he pleaded in a muffled voice.
“Now I'm going to ask just once, what business do you have with Williams?” I asked, my mask hiding the hurt in my eyes. I don't do this to innocent people. I can't believe my Alpha would command me to do this.
“I believe you heard me, don't make me repeat what I just asked,” I threatened him with a knife, pressed against his neck.
“Please please, I'm a lawyer. I just secured a business deal for him, he bought stocks with Kings holdings Limited that's all I know, please, that's all I know” he said amidst tears.
I couldn't. I just couldn't. This wasn't the reason why I trained so hard. But an order is an order right? Just then the door swung open.
Shit! I didn't lock it.
“Daddy?” a little girl called in fear.
“It's alright baby, she's just a friend of daddy's, now go back to your room, I'll be there shortly ok?”
“Daddy?” she called out one more time, tears streaming down her face.
“Honey?” The wife called, as she opened the bathroom door.
Fuck! What am I doing? I'll then have to kill them all.
The woman pulled the little girl over, trying to make her keep quiet as she herself sobbed quietly.
“Now I have to kill you all,” I said out loud with an exhausted look on my face, “Why did you all have to complicate this?” I whined.
Their silent pleas were lost in my cloud of thoughts as I went over and over in my head what the justification would be for murdering this family.
From the corner of my eyes, I saw the woman pulling out her phone. “You're going to make this worse Cece,” I said to her coldly, “drop that phone.”
I looked at their scared faces and my mind was made up. There was only one thing to do.
I don't care about the consequences at this point.
I turned to the lawyer while he held his family together, looking at me with pleading eyes.
“There is nothing personal, it is an order,” I said to him through clenched teeth.
This was an order and I have never failed on any mission. I won't let this ruin my records.
Few minutes later, I drove off into the forest with the house on fire and sirens wailing into the night.
What have I just done?
