Tala had a smug look on her face as he said this.
“I told you I did.” She then tookt he next one. “Time limit on this one?” A coldness had fallen over her now. She was not longer the same person she was just one year ago.
@TalaGrayson He looked up, head tilted. To be honest, he was watching her the whole time. When she went through with the killing, once the folder connected with his desk. He tossed a manila envelope at her.
“Good job, seems like you got what it takes.”
@MarksmanSlade
Tala through the file back on his desk.
“Done. Told you I’d get the job done. Fast and clean.” She was rather satisfied with her own work.
“I always figured honesty was the best policy when dealing with you.”
She caught the envelope and looked inside. “Consider them as good as gone.”
She wondered how she should address him but then shrugged.
“You sound desperate as hell, do you know that? The more you beg the more I’m turned off on trying to give you something to do.”
Reaching into his suit jacket, he grabbed an envelope.
“Watch me. Give me a family to kill and I’ll do it without question. I have nothing left but my skills. I’ll do anything.”
She meant it. A numbness had come over her where she wouldn’t care if he told her to kill five families she’d do it.
“Now why would I do that? I don’t doubt what you have skill wise, but at the same time. I don’t think you have it, to go and kill a family if it calls for it.” Blowing out the smoke from his nostrils.

Tala had taken a new contract. But she was having a hard time concentrating on her work. It’d been a rough year, and she needed something to get her blood pumping, so she took off on her motorcycle on an unbeaten path where trouble was sure to follow.
— save herself. That’s when she was jumped. It was a firebender. The one she’d been after. She pulled out her sword, imbued with the power to block such fire.
“Someone is paying me a lot of money to kill you today.”
The man said nothing but sent a ball of fire towards her. —
@MarksmanSlade < he gave her an order to complete. That was what she was best at. Following orders to a T.
Someone else was counting on Slade and Tala being there though, and was currently making sure all plans were in my place in an attempt to capture them. Those efforts would be futile.
@MarksmanSlade < to wait. She went to the side and hit the comm in her ear to report.
“There are two guards I’m sure you’ve spotted. But there are three more hidden out of sight of the window. But they seem relaxed. Like they aren’t expecting anything to happen. Waiting for your signal >
