”Befriend him?” I gasped, my mouth gaping open, eyebrows twisted in shock. “Yes, Howell, befriend him. We need to learn his secrets, his tricks. This is the best way to get what we want. And what we want, is him dead. Isn’t that was you want too?” Bruce quizzed, his tone oddly calm and reserved, his mood seeming to have shifted in seconds.

”Well yeah, but-“ My words stopped short, the filter between my mind and my mouth beginning its cycle once more. “Yes. Yes sir.”

”Good. You’ll start right away, so head to debriefing, and they’ll fix you up with what you need.” Nodding solemnly, his words repeated continuously in my mind.

Befriend him.

I couldn’t do that. Sure, I’m good at faking it. I’ve lied to many people before, my rehearsed excuses and phrases embedded deep within my mind. But to look someone who’s killed my coworkers, my friend, and pretend like nothing’s wrong? I couldn’t do that. Theres just no way.

”Here you go darling, you’re all set!” Lily exclaimed, her lifted face and cheerful smile seeming to mock the treachery swelling inside me. “T-thanks, I guess.” I whined, sliding the dirt pampered folder off the crying counter.

My padding feet slinked down the corridor, bulky shoulders and limbs dropped to the floor, my posture utterly destroyed. My mind was racing with thoughts I didn’t want, the outcomes I couldn’t bare to think about. I’ve always known that some of the things my job requires is wrong, thats a given. I’ve had to deceive, cheat

kill.

But none of that compares to what I have to do now.

I don’t think I can do it. But I know I have to.

The nights crisp wind flushed at my face, the chilled air filling my lungs. The sky above held dots of stars, as the azure and purples of the foggy canvas faded into a deep black, like everything colorful was fading away. In away, the sky represented my life in this very moment, as all that was joyful and clear, was now drenched in anguish, or black.

With only the dim shine radiating from above, I meandered off to the place my feet were refusing to go.
