I walked purposefully into the masters chamber as instructed. I had completed my last kill in record time and he has another "assignment" for me. I took a deep breath and entered. The room was very dark, lit by only a candle. I shivered and stepped up to the small puff of smoke which I knew would be emmiting from the masters finest cuban cigars.
"You called?" I said humbly and bowing my head slightly. I could hear a soft cough.
"Yeah. S'matter o' fact I did. Top job on that Vircetti guy. Finished him off nicely. His ma' will still think its an accident for years. So's since ya did such a good job on the last one I have a little training job for you to do."
I blinked. "Training? But why? I thought I had all the skills needed to kill elegantly but creatively?" I said quickly.
"Not you. Her. This is Amber. She is our newest...recruit. You are gonna show her the ropes? Capiche?" He said and tossed over her photo to me. I took a look and regestered her face.
I nodded then remebered how dark it was. "Yes sir."
"She is waiting outside. Go meet her. I will pay you a pretty penny if you can turn her into the animal that you are!" he called as I stepped out of his office.

I sighed and stood up,my legs were getting cramp,and I wondered how long it would take before I could leave.I needed a job,and someone had suggested this place to me.I didn't like this place,it gave me the creeps,but I needed to earn money,my hellhole of an apartment wasn't going to pay for the rent itself.

I walked down the hall to the waiting room to find the woman that I was due to train standing up, doing what looked like leg stretches. It was rather amusing. I smiled and cleared my throat.
"Hi there. You must be Amber? I am Alexius, though you can call me Alex, and I am due to be your mentor. Tell me, have you any experience in this field?" I said to her.

I jumped a little when I heard someone speak.I spun round quickly to see a young woman,slightly older than me standing there.I stared down at my feet,"Uh...no.I don't even know what you do here!"

My eyes widened. This wasn't going to be pleasant telling her what this job entailed.
"I see. Well. This is a dirty job, let me tell you that. Have you ever wondered who really keeps the street clean from scumbags and drug lords? Well, your looking at one of them. Anyway, come on, lets go to the basement and get you kitted out. Darrius is a genius at all things weaponary, he will sort you out! Follow me," I said kindly to her and led her out of the waiting room, down the hall and towards the elevator.

My eyes widened,"W-weaponry?!"

I nodded as I pressed the down button and called the elevator.

"Yeah, you know, guns, explosives, knives, knuckle dusters? That sort of thing."

My eyes widened even more,"WHAT?!I CAN'T DO THIS!"
I went to take a step out of the elevator,but the doors closed,leaving me in the small box with this random woman

I sighed and smiled at her pityingly.

"What can't you do? Surely you had some idea of what you were getting into before you signed up for this?" I said as I pressed the 'B' button to take me to Darius' artillery room.

I shook my head,"N-no!I just need to get some money!I was told about this place by a friend!"

I looked into her eyes and put my hands on her shoulders.
"Look," I said kindly. "I know this must be pretty hard to take in, most people are like this on their frist days, heaven knows I was, but it gets easier, and its probably the easiest cash your likely to make in this backwater dump? Look, you won't be having a real assignemet for a few months anyway, not until your trained up a little more."
I smiled one more even though inside I was cursing because if she wasn't going to get a job, either was I.

I calmed down a little,"Okay."I whispered.I knew she was trying to be nice,but you could tell she'd rather be somewhere else.

I smiled as the elevator stopped in the basemet levels. The doors rolled open and I stepped out.
"This," I explained to her "is where all the weapons and explosives are kept, by far the safest. If we get robbed this will be one of the last places they look, if Darrius has an accident its safest for all those others in the building. Its highly unlikely that it will happen but still.."
I led her along the hallway to the large weaponary unit where Darrius could be seen through the bullet proof glass working with shotgun. Suddenly it missfried and blew a small hole through his wooden workbench.
I started to laugh lovingly at him.
"That's Darius," I said to Amber.

I jumped a little when the gun fired.I wasn't used to guns,but I was certainly used to violence...

I struggled not to laugh when I saw Amber jump. It was still cute to me how people don't realise how loud guns actually are.
"Lets go in. Darrius is lovely and he will sort you out with decent weapons," I said and keyed in the pass code to enter the glass encased weapon utopia.
"Darrius, we have a newbie in our hands. This is Amber."
"Hi Amber," he said distractedly as he prodded the gun with a pipecleaner. "Someone has chewing gum lodged in here!"

I tried not to laugh at Darius' reaction about the chewing gum.I looked around to see guns on the walls,there was boxes of bullets scatered everywhere,and there was a few grenades.I was amazed anyone could find anything in here!

I burst out laughing when Darrius said someone was putting chewing gumn in the guns.
"Who's gun is it?" I asked after I composed myself.
"Michael's" he replied and tossed it on the bench in disgust. "That man is a complete imbecile."
"Yeah. Like we didn't know. Anyway, can we get back to Amber please? Can you sort her out with a beginners kit?"
He looked at her and simply said. "Colt or Desert Eagle?"

I stared at him for a moment,before looking at my mentor,"What's he talking about?"I asked her.

"What gun do you prefer using. A colt or a desert eagle. Though I assume you haven't heard of them before? Well...looking at you I would say you would find the Desert Eagle a more comfortable shot but I think we should try both."
I smiled at her.
Darrius nodded. "Right, you two go wait out in the range and I will bring the guns through to you." he said and gestured to the door that led to the targets room.
I punched in the key and held the door open for Amber. "Come on you!"

I followed her into the range,I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.I mean,they were going to trust me with a gun!

I smiled at her and let the door slam behind me. I led her over to the target furthest away from the door but closest to the gun hatch hwere Darrius would pass it through to us.
"So, nervous?" I asked her while we waited.

I nodded,"Y-yeah.I've never shot at something before."

I smiled.
"Never mind. It is really easy, I will show you how its done, I will shoot it first and then I will let you have a go? Ok," I said happily and looked round to see Darrius slipping through the colt.
"Two rounds Alex."
"Thanks Darrius!" I said and began to load up the gun and take aim at the target.
"I will go nice and slow to show you what to do? Ok."
