Chapter 3
-----
It hadn't taken Jubilee long to come up with her plan. It didn't take much longer to explain it to the girl. Now both were in position, and it hopefully wouldn't be long before a suitable target presented itself. She felt stupid standing out here looking like this, but at least she was getting the right kind of attention. She hadn't considered herself much of a man-magnet before, but then again she'd never worn her duster jacket over just her bra and panties before either. At this point she figured the only way she could be any more blatant would be to carry around a "cheap asian pussy" sign, and even that was questionable. Hells, she wanted to just get this over with.
She grinned when a particularly good target came into view. He was a white gangsta-rap wannabe by the looks of him, and he had enough jewelry on him to make him worth the trouble even if he wasn't carrying much cash. Despite the fact that the mere thought of touching him made her glad she hadn't eaten yet that day, she gave him her best charming smile, or at least the best that she could manage, and delivered the time-honored line:
"Hey handsome, looking for a good time?"
The man, if he could be called that as he barely looked old enough to have dropped out of high school, smirked as he looked her over and gave what he apparently thought was a witty comeback.
"Suckee suckee five dolla, huh? You love me long time?"
Jubilee didn't bother hiding her sneer of annoyance. "You want some or not, pal? You know the going rate as well as I do, let's go or get the fuck out of the way for someone who will." Then she added for dare factor, "If you're man enough for the job."
That got a sneer of anger in return, and he snapped back. "Yeah, bitch, you're damned right I am, you won't walk right for a week when I'm done with you."
Jubilee nodded as nonchalantly as she could and turned to walk back into the alleyway, without bothering to look back to see if he was following. She knew he was hooked, and grinned to herself. Sucker.
When they got back far enough out of sight, she turned back to face him and began to slowly slide out of her jacket as she swayed her hips, trying to be seductive enough to make sure his attention was firmly on her. He didn't even question the idea of doing it right there in the alley, his mask of confidence dropped as he fumbled with his belt to get his pants down. He never saw the girl come up behind him, and to her credit Jubilee didn't hear a sound... the girl moved like the proverbial shadow, swift and silent. He never knew what hit him.
He didn't get to scream, either, as her lithe arm wrapped around his neck and choked him out with an armbar technique across his throat. By the time she dropped him, he was already out cold. Jubilee was just beginning to grin and congratulate her when the girl kneeled and popped those deadly blades.
"NO!" Jubilee cried out and rushed forward to grab her hand before she could deliver the killing stroke. The girl just looked at her like she was crazy as Jubilee tried to pull her off of him, not budging her, but she stood a moment later on her own and gave a look that was an obvious demand for an explanation.
"Jesus fuck, you were gonna kill that guy! What the hells were you thinking?!"
The girl's eyes narrowed on her, giving Jubilee a chilling rush of fear. "Of course I was, I'm an assassin. Would you rather I leave him alive to identify us?"
Jubilee shook her head fiercely, and talked fast. "It's better than getting the cops on our trail for a murder case! Muggings are low-priority, even if the guy's willing to admit he got dropped by an itty-bitty asian whorechick. And I'm willing to bet he's gonna describe a male-female team, he never saw you at all and he's gonna assume it took a guy to bring him down. Male egos work like that. It'll be fine."
The girl just shrugged. "Cops don't investigate random gangknifings on the streets, either. It's too risky. I say we waste 'im."
Jubilee forced herself to meet that fierce gaze. "No. We're not going to leave a trail of bodies. Forget it. We loot him and move on." She truly hoped she didn't sound as weak and afraid as she felt.
The girl focused those eyes on Jubilee like a laser, stepping up, staring her down, like a feral predator contesting for dominance. It made Jubilee want to cower, submit, do what she had to to get that killer's gaze off of her. But her pride and morality wouldn't let her back down. She held those eyes even as the girl growled out her next words.
"Assassins don't. Leave. Witnesses."
Jubilee bit her lip and swallowed, her eyes were burning and her blood felt like ice. But she held her ground, and upped the ante.
"You kill him, I'll see it. I'm a witness. You want to kill him, you'll have to kill me too."
The girl took a step forward, and raised her fist and snapped out her blades. Jubilee knew her eyes widened and she jumped inside, but she forced herself to neither move nor break the gaze. What frightened her most was the look in the girl's eyes that she seemed to be actually considering it.
Long moments hung like a weight, neither giving ground, Jubilee frightened and certain she might die at any moment but stubbornly holding steady, the girl silent and threatening. Finally, the girl snarled in annoyance and retracted the blades, turning away in a huff.
"Fine, we'll play it your way. But if it comes back to bite us, it's your fault."
Jubilee nodded and sighed out, closing her eyes as a massive wave of relief rushed over her. The aftereffects of that much adrenaline hit her like a head rush, threatening to take her off her feet as she wavered before recovering slightly. When her vision came back into focus, she could see the girl already in the process of removing everything of value from their unconscious victim. At one point he began to stir, moaning softly as he began to come to, and Jubilee winced as the girl casually punched him in the throat without even changing facial expression, nonchalant in her brutality as she continued her work.
Soon enough, they were back in the van with their take and back on the road.
