The Next 3 Days (Tuesday)
Lexa's P.O.V

"Hey Samantha" I said
"Hey Lexa. How is the mission going? Anyone of them dead?"
"No. Still figuring out a way to kill them"
"For the parents, slice their necks. Twin daughters, poison their candy. They adore you. Should be easy"
"Son?"
"Simple. You shoot him. When you are done, an helicopter will be waiting for you. Lexa, we need you here. It's either we terminate this mission or you do it. FAST"
She hung up.

..........Samantha is my immediate boss.
But dad is the real boss.

Ugh! Why am I so confused?
I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I flipped the person and he/she landed on the floor.
I turned to see Richard.
"Oh. It's you". I said and turned back.
"Yes, It's me. I need your help."
"For what?"
"I have this karate class. I'm good but I need practice. And with the countless examples you've shown me, you're the perfect teacher".
"No."
"Please"
"No."
"Why?"
"No."
"No?"
"Yes"
"Yes! You said Yes"
"No."
"Ugghh! Why are you so confusing"

"I'on know."

"Please. I promise to be on y best behavior."

"Promise?"

"Pinky swear."

"I don't -pinky swear. I promise to help you. but remember that promises are meant to be broken."

"Okay."

"Do you have guns, knives. or a room specially for them?"

"My Dad does. But it's off limits."

"I'm a rule breaker. Meet me there in 5 minutes."

"But-you-don't-even-know-where-it-is."

"Yeah. Right."

                                                                      ***

Lexa's POV.

I walked into the room and looked around the large room.

Guns.

Knives.

Ropes.

Chains.

Boxing gloves.

Targets.

"Cool right?" Richard said.

" Drop and give me 20." I retorted.

"What?"

"We're going to test your strength."

"Why?"

"If I don't know your capabilities, how would I be able to train you? Now drop and give me 40. If you keep talking I'll increase it to 60."

He fell on the floor and started doing push-ups.

My phone rang.

Mummy.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby. Called to tell you that your current mission is suspended."

"Why?"

"Your new mission is to kill Victor Walker.  And retrieve 10 million dollars. When you have retrieved it, pay the money into your account, then send it to mine. You have 48 hours darling. Don't fail me this time. I love you."

"I love you too"

Richard's POV

"I love you too." I heard her say.

A pang of jealousy hit my chest.

Why does she have to say that word?

"Richard. I have to pause our training for now. I have to go somewhere."

"Where?"

"There are so many people in this world. We need to create space."

"So? How does that concern you?"

"I'm going to create space. See you next tomorrow night."

Then she walked out.

Create space?

For who?

I'm here doing 60 push-ups.

But what does she mean by create space?
