Chapter 48: Don't Lose Your Focus
Two Months Ago, Hawaii
Chance and David were sitting at a breakfast table. Chance was wearing a t-shirt paired with jeans and a black coat over it. David was wearing a casual Hawaiian shirt and pants.
"Chance, are you sure Danger-Ace is going to show up here?" David asked his friend while they were sitting in the breakfast room of a beautiful resort in Hawaii.
"Am I a fool to plan an impromptu trip to Hawaii and to bring you all here with me on a mission if it was not for the solid information I received that Danger-Ace is coming here to kill the same target as me" Chance whispered to David in a low whisper.
Currently, Chance and David were sitting in the breakfast room waiting for Danger-Ace, a ruthless assassin whose help was needed for Grim Reaper to execute a deadly plan he has in his mind.
From his sources he got the information that, Danger-Ace will be coming to Hawaii to kill Mario, his target.
Mario pissed off two business people and he had a hard drive which had all the dirty secrets on them. These two businessmen wanted to get their hold on that hard drive so they individually went behind each other and hired two assassins to do the task.
One businessman hired Samantha and the other one hired Chance.
So, Chance planned to come to Hawaii to complete his mission and leave but then his source informed him that Danger-Ace too was hired for the same mission as him by the other businessman.
Chance was happy as he recently was considering to involve Danger-Ace for a personal mission he was planning to execute.
Not wanting to let go of an amazing opportunity like this, he decided to meet up with her during this mission and convince her to join hands with him.
He only has one information on Danger-Ace and that is she is a woman; he knows nothing else about her.
This information too was something he deduced when he troubled her a year back as they crossed lines with each other, he made missions so easy for her that she got annoyed with him and he was successful in having his revenge.
He only stopped meddling with her missions, when she found a way to send a one-way calling phone to him and called him to apologize. He realized she was a woman then and he also pitied her after talking to her so he decided to stop troubling and meddling with her missions and made peace with her.
He never was able to throw away the phone she sent him and he always kept it with him but the problem was if he wants to contact her, he can't. Only she can contact him, so when he got to know about this Hawaii mission, he decided to bring his friends along with him to act as a cover for him.
It is a common knowledge in the assassin world that every assassin goes alone on a mission without any baggage as they need to concentrate well.
Chance took advantage of this stereotypical opinion to get his friends with him on this Hawaii trip as before approaching Danger-Ace he wanted to be sure if he would be doing the right thing by involving her in his plan, if he is alone here, she might deduce he is Grim Reaper so he had to have his friends with him to not look suspicious.
Amongst his friends, only David knows that he is an assassin, he is the only one who knew this truth about him, rest all his friends believe he is actually a businessman.
"Fine dude, maybe Danger-Ace will show up, let us assume that for your sake but how the fuck will you identify her? We have no idea how he looks like"
"She" Chance corrected David.
"What?" David looked at Chance in confusion.
"Danger-Ace is a she, a woman not a man" Chance casually informed him.
"Are you sure?" David couldn't believe this information.
"Sexist" Chance helplessly shook his head.
"Hey, I am not a sexist, it is just that Danger-Ace is so amazing and the only person you consider as your nemesis, I therefore automatically thought, he was a man"
"That's why I called you a sexist"
"When did you know she was a woman?"
"When she called me to apologize" Chance smiled recollecting that apology which felt very cute.
"Wow, you know what, you are a sexist too" David was offended by Chance's accusation so he accused him back after knowing this truth.
"What? How the hell am I a sexist?" Chance didn't accept this accusation of David's.
"Well, you meddled with every mission of hers but when she called you and apologized, you realized she is a woman and therefore you forgave her and stopped bombing her missions as you felt pity for her only because she is a woman" David righteously spoke but in a low voice.
Chance chuckled at his accusation, "Dude, even if it would have been a man, after that cute apology I would have forgiven him too, she was very sweet and somewhere because of that I realized she is a woman, she actually used a voice modulation to sound like a man but her words gave her away. But me forgiving her has got nothing to do with her gender." Chance clarified.
"Whatever" David rolled his eyes and Chance was eying every customer in the breakfast room, finding for his nemesis.
"Chance, you sure she will come here?" David still had his doubts about Chance's plan.
"Of course, this is the perfect place for her to check out Mario, this is what any assassin would do." Chance explained David.
"Wow, I don't know about all of this but I better hope you are right." David looked worried which Chance could sense.
"Why are you worried David? Is something bothering you?"
"Dude, I asked Mia to have breakfast in the room as I have something important to discuss with you and you know how understanding she is so she agreed to have breakfast in the room but…"
"But what?"
"When I requested Jack to not have breakfast with us and also to ensure Abigail too does not join us, he agreed to my request but he doubted us"
"Why did you ask them not to join?"
"Just in case, if Danger-Ace finds us out then I don't want to expose Mia, Jack and Abigail. They are innocent and they have no idea about you."
"Hmm, don't worry David, I'll never let anything happen to you four, after all you guys are my only family left in this world."
David patted Chance on the back, "I know bro, I was just taking some precautions from my side"
Chance smiled at him, "I am so lucky to have your support" he genuinely thanked him.
"If you are that happy then give me more shares in our company" David joked.
"Done" Chance didn't hesitate as money was secondary for him and his friends and their happiness were his top priority.
"Dude, I was joking" David was surprised when Chance agreed.
"I was not" Chance winked at him and his gaze which never stopped travelling across the room since he came saw a woman wearing a green long dress with her hair tied in a bun.
David saw Chance's gaze fixed on a beautiful woman, he helplessly shook his head and whispered, "Dude, we are on a mission please don't lose your focus" David begged him.
"Shhh, I have a hunch she is Danger-Ace." Chance informed David and continued observing the woman who chose a corner table for herself and seemed like she was waiting for someone.
"Don't use this as an excuse to check out that woman, I know you well." David didn't believe Chance's prediction after he saw the woman Chance pointed at.
She looked like a perfect lady, her body looked delicate and she was extremely beautiful and charming.
"You claim you know me but you don't. You know how serious I am about my missions and nothing can distract me from them and yet you accuse me of checking out someone." Chance explained himself his eyes not moving away from the woman who was sitting at the corner table even for a second as he was trying to observe every action of hers.
"David, don't look at her at all, just keep observing the entrance and let me know when Mario appears" Chance ordered him while still looking at the woman he believed is Danger-Ace.
"But why?" David was confused with this suggestion.
"If she is an assassin then she will immediately feel your gaze on her and would be aware of us observing her. Danger-Ace is very smart, don't forget that"
"Then, what about you? Can she not realize you staring at her?" David asked him as Chance didn't move his sight from her even once.
"I am a pro at this, she will not know if I look at her until and unless I want her to know"
