My hair lays on the pillow as I sit there in comfort of the silence of my bedroom. I check my phone for opportunity for a job. "Ashley! Get your Ass down here and do your chores!" I walked down the rickety wooden stairs that would creak every time I moved. I went to the kitchen to see my father drunk on the couch. The excruciating smell gave me a headache. "Dad? The smell is giving me a headac-". He threw the beer bottle at the wall. "Shut up you god damn kid! And clean!". I walked over to cover and cleaned the beer up with a towel. It left a huge stain with glass nudged into the wall. "I want it spotless!" I plucked the glass out of the wall one by one. Then I snuck out of the room he was to drunk to notice. I went to the kitchen and sat there cleaning dishes. When that was done my dad was off to work and my mother was sleeping. I watch the sunrise from my balcony. And I checked my phone to see there was a text.
Text/From blocked number
"Hey there! Looking for a job! Go to the alley way behind the storage area for recruiting!"
Ashley deleted the message as soon as she read it. "I feel bad for the people that are going there." She stepped into her room and sat on her rickety chair. And turned on the tv. It was on the news. The death that occurred during people going to these alley ways. It was all the rage right now. "Maybe if I find the people and just keep my distance but video tape it. Maybe will get a reward for helping." Ashley paced around the room. She grabbed the keys to her mothers car. It was old with barley any gas but it could work. "I have to support my family. No matter the cost."
Ashley walked threw the alley way to see two people there was a girl and a boy. The girl seemed tough. And the boy looked like he could murder someone in a instant. Ashley pulled her phone out and started taking pictures off the girl and the boy. Then she saw a hand grab her phone and pin her to a wall. He was a boy with pink hair and a black and yellow eyes. He looked happy even though his strength was extremely powerful. He nudged me to the wall and wouldn't let go. "Why were you taking pictures of those people?" I struggled but he looked like he wasn't even trying to hold me down. The girl screamed "Omg! He is like mugging Omg! Like record this! Tokjai!" The boy glared at us and sighed. "We're probably all wondering the same thing." The pink haired man let go of Ashley in a instant "I'm izaya hirya. And I'm here for the job. Like everyone else." I looked at them as if they were all nuts. "I'm Ashley Isayama." The blue hair girl grins. And rubs her head. "So we're just introducing are selfs? Ugh I'm kuiui Sky." I sigh and look at the note on the alley way floor. Izaya peers over my shoulder. Tokjai walks over and steps in a puddle next to the note. As kuiui follows. I reach for the Note but in a instant it's gone. It was in Izaya's hands. It read
~~Welcome!~~
You may not know me, but that's besides the point. You were chosen individually to come here. Your not like the other mass shooting alley ways I have hosted. You are actually here for a good reason. I have picked you all for your talents. So if you do what's instructed you will be payed 2,000 each day. I have all your phones tapped into a private messenger so if anything happens you can contact your fellow co-Workers. The jobs will be listed per day. Remember if you join. And you "try" to leave we will have too..
Besides the point I wish you luck.
Ashley scratched her head. A private messenger app. Jobs. Izaya clicked the joining button on his screen. "Anyone else gonna join?" I nodded my head No. But Izaya grabbed my phone and clicked the join button. My face turned red on its own. And I grabbed my phone back. And I sighed. And checked the private messenger app.
~~Welcome Ashley~~
•Job: Meet inside the StoreAge area complex.
Plan: There will be more people like you there that you haven't. Meet details will be posted when your there.
Partners: Izaya.
I checked my watch and it was 3:00am already. I grabbed izaya's arm. And pulled him to the car. He drove to the StoreAge and we ran into the building it was dark and soundless there was 4 others there. Me and Izaya walked closer to look but then the doors locked. All of them. A toxic gas filled the hair and soon everyone dropped to the ground except me and Izaya. His hand was over my mouth so it blocked out the fumes. It was unusual that he could stand gas like that. Then we saw a man with a gas mask on in the background with white hair and red eyes. His voice was high pitched. "Hm. I guess you've lived threw faze one." He drew closer and suck a gas mask on to Izaya. He fell to the ground. And then he glared at me. And stuck something into my arm everything got fazed...
I woke up on my pillow. The sun was gleaming in my eyes. But I was to lazy to stand. I sat up in my bed for a solid five minutes. Staring at the wall. I rubbed my eyes. "Wait a minute! What! How! it couldn't have been." I checked my phone to the app was there. There was a text from Izaya
~~Izaya,Ashley~~
Ashley do you remember anything about are job last night! We got payed but I don't remember anything!
Ashley sighed. "I don't either.. How'd I even end up in my house.
~~Welcome Ashley~~
Job: go to the park at 8:00am for a robbery Mission: steal a box from a man in all black.
Cover: A couple
Partners: Tojaki
I looked at my watch and it read 7:30am. I sighed and ran to my mirror to put on my mascara and eyeliner on. The outfit I picked had black sleeves with a white every wear else with black buttoned up high wasted pants. It matched by red hair and maroon eyes.
I walked down stairs to see my father who was asleep on the couch. I walked out to see tojaki was outside my house. he grabbed me and pulled me in his car before I could ask him how he even found my house. It smelt strange in his car like drugs. I lifted up the glove the apartment but he closed it as soon as it peaked open. "I wouldn't be searching threw my car." Ashley chuckled "I can't look threw your stuff how did you even find my house." He slammed on the brakes were here.
I opened the door and he put his hand around me. His hand was cold on my neck like a pricing of the long sleeve shirt felt rough though soft to the touch. As I tried blushing to make it seem more realistic that we were a "couple". We sat at a bench and whispered slowly to each other what are game plan was. Tojaki spotted the man and grabbed my hand to seem as if we were taking a romantic walk. As we got closer to the man my paw got sweaty but tokjai didn't mind. I went to the man with the all black shirt and "accidentally" tripped. The box feel to the ground but yelled at the man with anxiety of getting caught. "Hey! Don't you see me and my.. my..... Boy! are dating! Don't touch me!."tokjai grabbed the box and put it in his jacket. "Sweetie we must be going now. We're going to the popular restaurant red fish tonight." Ashley walked with tokjai in till the man came running after us saying "Thief's!" I giggled and ran to tokjai car and we drove off. On the bumpy way home I opened the box to see it was a locket of a father a mother and a son, I welded up with tears in till one dripped down my face tokjai sighed. It was a test. He showed me his phone,
Welcome Tokjai•••
To: Ashley/Tokjai
It was a test to see what your emotional standers were to see if you could handle stealing from a family that's been saving up for that locker for 4 years.
Ashley dropped his phone on the seat. He slammed on the breaks to see her house was just out the car door. I walked out of the car, to see the dead grass on my porch. I reached for the nob of the screen door. "I'm finally home."
