CHOPPED
Diane paced back and forth on the rooftop. She stopped to look at the cars speeding across the lanes, some even still going past a red light.
The air was chilling, and made her want to head back home to the warmth of the fireplace. But she had to first complete this trial.
She leaped over the side of the building, and clicked a button that activated her suit’s gliding wings. Diane went swooping closer to the side of the streets. Her target had just walked out of the car with some guards and was heading into a warehouse.
Diane switched into stealth mode and followed the guys into the building. This big boss was the head of a major drug transporting league in the city. She had been called to bring his reign to an end.
She spotted one of the guards by the side with swords in his hands. He turned around almost catching sight of Diane; she ducked and hid behind several stacks of shipping containers.
The guard walked closer to her side and felt a quick jab in his ribs. Diane twisted the blade, & dashed off to another section of the warehouse. She had no time to waste on the wrong target. Time was of the essence.
She bent down and moved in the dim sections of the building. Making sure to move with light steps. This time she came face to face with several guards. They raised their guns and aimed them at the intruder.
The bullets fired and Diane dodged them all with lightning speed. With only one sword, she managed to take this group down in a snap.
She heard other guards approaching. Diane sighed and looked around. They were coming around the left side of her current location.
Diane ran to in the opposite direction and managed to spot her target. He was directing his guards to protect him and make sure to kill her.
She clapped her hands and a wave of energy hit the guards, sending them crashing onto the floor. The boss trembled and begged Diane to let him go.
‘‘I’m afraid that wasn’t part of the job.’’
As soon as he tried to beg again, she tightened her grip on her sword and swung it by the guy’s neck .

*knock*
*doorbell rings*
The door opens and the delivery guy says, ‘‘Your package has arrived.’’
‘‘Cool. Thanks.’’
The box is picked up and carried into the apartment.
‘‘Well, she’s passed the test. But did she really have to send me the big boss’ head- wheres the rest of him anyway? Gee. Whoa!’’
