I climbed through the window just as I had planned, easing my boots onto the floor and making sure to keep quiet. I squeezed the rest of my body through the small opening before turning around and shutting it. It didn't squeak. It didn't make any noise at all. I smiled to myself.

Damn, I was really good at my job.

"Sei bravo in quello che fai ma penso di essere migliore." A low voice greeted me from the darkness.
(Translation: You are good at what you do but I believe I am better)

I froze.

He wasn't supposed to be here right now.

Almost as if he read my mind he let out a small chuckle.

This was not good. Not good at all.

I reached up to my head and pulled my beanie lower, in the process taking out a small knife I had hidden there. I didn't need a butcher knife in operations like these.

Dammit, I reprimanded myself. You just had to go for the window. This needed to be over with quick. With the possibility of a pay rise lingering in the back of my mind, I quickly calculated my position.

His first mistake was that he had spoken, giving away his position.

His second was that he seemed to be sitting down, which most probably meant he was armed with a gun.

His third mistake was that he gave time for my eyes to adjust to the room.

Amateur.

Making a split-second decision, I ran as light as a feather to where his voice came from. I had my mini blade against his throat faster than he could say pasta.

"Where is your boss?" I whispered in his ear, deepening my voice. I didn't need these people to know who I was, I just needed to get the job over with. I didn't enjoy the company of strange people.

"I am the boss." He replied shakily.

I smiled.

I didn't usually kill people that weren't my target, but this man didn't need to know that.

"You act like an amateur. Your boss would not be so careless." I said, pressing my knife deeper into his neck. He stiffened. I could feel the blood drip over my thumb.

"You are right, I wouldn't," he said, insisting that he was the one in charge.

I internally sighed. I knew this was going to be pointless. His boss must've been informed that this was going to happen in order for him to set this up. My eyes widened in realization.

This was a trap.

How could you be such an idiot? I scolded myself

Keep calm.

I stepped away from the man in the chair. There was a change of plan. The new top priority was getting out of here. I could finish the job later, even though that would mean that I probably wouldn't get my pay rise.
