Hey Hey! The description is out! So if you wanna read it, it'll give ya a good concept about what's coming. Don't worry, there's much more plot than that meets the eye 🤫

Au revoir!
*batman theme*

Frisk POV:

Upon reaching the old warehouse, I began to think that this wasn't just all talk.

Despite the lack of security, probably from not wanting to attract unwanted attention, there was a big, reinforced military truck parked in front of the opened double doors.

Many security guards guarded the entrance, all armed and wore ear pieces for communication.
And they were all monsters.

Most of them were on the quiet side, watching out for any trespassers or any people passing by.
But one really stood out to me that was far different than the rest.

A bad stand out.

He was a tall fellow, with an old button up shirt, dress pants, and a pair of brown suspenders that rested on his shoulders, they crossed when they met the middle of his back.

He was loud and obnoxious.

A skeleton, he seemed, I could only tell from where he was standing behind the rest of the group, attempting to chat up a storm. He was screaming.

He bore no weapon, in fact, he seemed too much of a child to be in he MMO, do they send children into war?
Well, from how high his voice is, and how egocentric his conversation sounded, it seemed like he was 6 years old, rather from what it looks like physically, 15 years old.

I'm sure he's here just to get out of the HQ.

I quickly shake my head, and saw window around the side of the building, too small for a monster of regular size, but I had a small figure, fortunately.

I silently crept around the building, trying not to alert the guards at all, leaving them with the loud skeleton.

The building was brick, like most of the apartments and buildings in the area, even my hometown had mostly brick buildings, so I had learned to scale them quite skillfully.

Putting my arms onto the wall, I scale up, very quietly, and looking around to see if anyone had seen me or could see me.

The warehouse was only two stories so I should get in there in no time.

As I climbed higher, I could see the rooftops of the small department stores and buildings around me, below me, since I had almost reached the window.

Snipers were scattered across the tops of the buildings, their backs facing me and looking into the horizon, watching, and waiting for their prey.

I could be so easy to kill them, but that's now what I came here for.

Kill April. Go home.

I repeated this to myself as I grabbed the frame of the window and hoisted myself up into the dusty warehouse.

Once inside, my footsteps slightly echoed throughout the empty building, the second floor only being a railing and a balcony to the first floor.

Below me, I could hear a small conversation that was louder than me, providing me with cover.

Good.

The warehouse was dark, with only three dim lights that hung from the ceiling, and it's roof looks like some had done a poor job of patching it up.

The balcony was covered in dust, making me want to sneeze at the thought of inhaling the dust, I bury my nose in my shirt, fear taking over me.

If I sneeze, I'm done for.

I stay silent and listen to the ongoing conversation to see if I could get any new intel for C. H. E. S. S.

"Don't worry! No one followed me here!" A chirpy voice sounded. I silently peeled over the metal railing, and compared the face to the photo that was provided for me.
Match

"Alright. Did you learn anything at C. H. E. S. S.?" A deep voice followed April's, his face obscured by he shadows of the balcony.

"Yes, plenty." She said slyly. I reach for my gun, and in my other pocket, a silencer to not give away my location so easily.

"And?" The voice asked. I could see his polished shoes, and his dress pants, along with a white button up shirt with trousers, much like the skeleton outside.

"I wanted to warn you," I can't let any information slip from her mouth, I cock the gun back slowly, having the silencer attached firmly, and extended my right arm out.

"About what?"

I close one eye, and aimed the barrel at her head.

"She's ali-" headshot.

"April!" The figure ran out of the dark, revealing yet another skeleton.
Wait a second...

That voice... from that night.

I examined the skeleton a bit longer, realizing it was him. He was the one who lingered in my memories. I cock the gun again, causing him to turn towards my location, I could see the fury in his eyes.

I wish he would drop dead right now.

"All Officers" the skeleton spoke into the earpiece in his ear, revealing a slight permanent grin onto his face, "get to the main entrance, we're under attack." His words came out harsh and emotionless, "April is down, I repeat, we lost the information."

This is not what we came for.
Put the gun away.

I reluctantly lowered my arm as he squinted his eyes. I shifted a bit, slightly showing my figure in the darkness.

Swiftly, he pulled out a gun, "Hey! Put your hands where I can see them!" He said, intimidatingly.

He's short.

"Sorry, bonehead. No can do." I spoke, a slight grin crossing my face.
He didn't hesitate to fire his gun at will, and I quickly jumped out of the cracked window, a flow of curses and yells trailing from inside.

"It's an assassin!" One yelled harshly from the group that I could see scatter around the perimeter,

Only kill April.

Only April.

Suppress your urges.

I swiftly ran back around the building, only to come face to face with one of the monster security guards, without any warning, I punched him really hard into the face, hearing a slight 'crack' from his nose.

I instantly took the earpiece out of his ear and put it in my own, gaining a significant upper hand to listening to the conversations between the guards, snipers, and that skeleton, the short one.

I grinned a bit, and continued to run, slightly doing a celebratory dance because this one said he had the back of the warehouse covered.

A few more voices gradually got louder coming from the other side of the building, and I quickly made my dashing escape around the buildings, thanking god the snipers didn't see me.

"It's a girl! Sniper B saw her run across the parking lot." I heard through the small, black earpiece.
Shit

I can't let them know I'm alive. I can't let hem see anymore of me.
No more funny business.

I let out a sinister laugh and held the microphone on the earpiece, allowing me to speak as I ran into another building, taking the alleyways was cover from the snipers.

"Listen up MMO!" I said cheerfully and loud, causing some gasps to be heard, as well as the short skeleton's voice. "I've got one of your little boyfriends in the east building. Come unarmed and no blood will have to be spilt. Okie~?" I lied. I take my fingers off of the microphone and listen to the other members talk amongst themselves.

"Do you think she could have someone?"

"One of us is missing! It could be junior!"

"I'm right here..."

"I will go. Alone." The skeletons voice overpowered all of their weak voices, except for the annoying one.

"Is that fine, Assassin?" He spat through the earpiece.

"Mhm! Yep!" I replied, now four blocks away from the warehouse, and still running throughout the city, following the line tracker I put next to my bike to get home.

I quickly giggled and threw the stolen earpiece into the road, leaving it behind in case of a tracker present inside of it.
That would have been bad.

I eventually reach the point where the blue dot rested and open the old door wide open to the old lobby, revealing my bike, still there.

I sighed a sigh of relief after I uncovered the bike and checked the tires aswell.

"Good enough." I mumbled and hopped onto the motorcycle, listening to the engine roar to life once more.

I pulled out of the lobby, looking back for a swift second.

Swarmed around the earpiece I had thrown into the street, was the entire squad that had been sent to retrieve April's information, and the skeleton fuming with anger, holding a phone with a map onto it.

Close one
