Chapter 2: The Mayors Son

I know that a mission assigned to me is very, very important when I get a phone call from THAT phone. The special phone. I call it, The Call. Well guess what?

I got The Call.

It was Jasons' father, Mr. Jason Long Sr. who called.

"Terralynn, I have a mission for you." he told me, calling me by my full first name. That's another indicator that the mission is extremely important. He calls me by my full first name.

"I'm listening."

"The mission will be your most dangerous mission yet, but you MUST succeed." he warned me.

I straightened up in my chair that I was sitting in and payed close attention. This must be pretty serious.

"Go on." I coaxed.

"Your mission is to kill the mayors son." My phone clattered on the floor. He was right. This will be hard. Harder than I thought.

"Terri! Terri! Are you there? What happened?" I hear Mr. Long demand into the phone. I snapped out of my daze and picked up my phone, placing it back to my ear.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here sorry. I dropped my phone." I said, palming my face.

"Alright. Like I was saying, this is going to be your most difficult mission you have ever had. You need to be educated about the mayor and his family. You need to know his son's schedule and where he is at all times. I will give you everything you need for this mission to be successful. But you will do the hardest part."

He paused, letting this information sink in.

"Come over right now so I can give you what you need and so that I can tell you the rest of your mission." He finished, and then hung up.

I just sat there, not knowing what to say. Kill the mayor's son? Do you know how hard that is going to be? Security around 24/7 and cameras all over. I sighed and went to get ready to go to Mr. Long's house.

I pulled up into his long driveway and got out of the car, admiring the mansion as I walked up to the door. I always do that, as many times as I have been here, I still admire the view.

I was about to knock on the door, but it swung open before I could. There stood a grinning Jason.

He pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"Awww Terri! You came to see me!"

I struggled to get out of his embrace.

"Ew no why would I want to see you and let go of me." I grunted, pushing him off of me and fixing my clothes.

"I'm here to see your dad. Now if you would excuse me." I said, brushing past him and went into his fathers study. He was sitting in his chair behind his desk, fiddling with a small gadget.

I cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked up at me and placed the gadget on the desk.

"Ah, you made it. Let's get down to business shall we?" he said, getting up from his chair and walking to a box on the floor. He gestured for me to go next to him. I did, and when I got to his side, he opened the box. I had never seen so many gadgets in one place at the same time.

"These are some of the gadgets that you will need for your mission. Use them carefully and wisely. Remember your research Terri. That is very important. You MUST know everything about them or as much as possible." he said sternly, looking deep into my eyes with a hard stare.

"I won't fail you Mr. Long." I said, reassuring him. He nodded and walked back to his desk and sat down. I sat down in the chair on the other side of his desk. He clasped his hands together on top of his desk.

"You must understand Terri. We tried to do this same mission before many years ago, but the person assigned to the task failed. Our organization had to stay hidden for a while and decided to change up the whole strategy. Instead of a male getting close to him, we decided to pick a female. a beautiful female to seduce him and make him fall in love. Then when the right time comes, she will kill him."

I sat there trying not to leave my mouth open for too long. This mission was crazy! He continued.

"I decided to pick you because you are the best Terri. The best in the world. Now I trust you and believe in you and know that you will not fail me. You have three months to complete this mission. Once you complete it, you will get $100,000,000 as a reward. Go home now and start your research, and remember one of the most important rules. Do NOT in any circumstances catch feelings. Your mission starts now."

He gestured for me to leave and I jumped up, turned around, and ran out of the room with my box in my arms. I didn't want to waste any time at all and hurried out the front door and hopped in my car, speeding away.

I got to my apartment, and started up my laptop. I googled the name 'Mayor of California' and 20,000,000+ results popped up.

Whoa, this is going to be a long night.

Four hours later, I felt like my brain was going to explode. I kneeded my scalp to ease the tension and sighed. It was about 3:22 a.m. and there was still more info that I needed.

Here is the info that I do know.

The mayors name is Grant Austin. His son, my target, is Chandler Austin. The mayor is 52 or 53, the sources weren't clear and Chandler is 28 years old. His mother died when he was 15 and that was around the time he became a rebel.

Smoking, drinking, vandalism, etc. His father had to straighten him out and now he is the CEO of Austin enterprise. Grant has cancer, or so the sources say. They weren't really clear about that part either. Chandler supposedly has a girlfriend.

I groaned and dropped my face into my hands. Great. Now it's going to be even harder to seduce him. If he's loyal that is. Oh well, I'm just gonna have to come between them.

I decided that I've researched enough and prepared for bed. I layed in bed, thinking about what I want to accomplish tomorrow. I hacked Chandlers phone and computer and basically all his devices so I know that he will be in meetings all day.

I need to wear something sexy, I decided. First impressions matter of course. After that, I guess I'll just wing it.
