1 Teardrops of Blood Chapter 1

A bullet came speeding as fast as it hits the judge point blank while coming out of the Justice Hall. Another mission accomplished.

At the reception, everyone was present. Zid's family and Neil's family were happy that they think it was meant to be. They looked in love and happy to be in each other's lives and their family couldn't be happier for both.

''we bumped into each other too many times, and now I couldn't ask for more" Neil declared while they champagne glasses clinked.

Her family got a hold of the microphone, and they were kind of embarrassing their selves out there. Zid stood up and sighed when she saw someone who shouldn't be there.

"I didn't get an invitation'' Charles said, smirking at Zid.

''it's a precautionary measure Sir" Zid uttered, while looking at Neil walking down the stairs heading towards them.

Neil came down to meet his wife and saw Charles talking to Zid. He was confused as to why he was here in the first place.

"You are Mr. Anderson, right? What a nice surprise, I didn't know you know my wife'' Neil said, looking at Charles and Zid.

''she works for me; she is my Vice President. You are a lucky guy, you found a lovely woman'' Charles announced, smiling at Neil and Zid.

"Sure is'' Neil said.

''I must go, congratulations to both of you" Charles walked away.

On their honeymoon, Zid changed while Neil opened his unsolved cases and was looking through the files. Zid came near him ready for the big night but as for Neil who looked so sad, he was more focus on his files. Zid coughed to catch his attention, but it was not working.

''you seem so serious, what's that?'' Zid asked, curious on what he was working on and focused on.

''cases that I was trying to solve before'' he explained.

''but you're forgetting something, it's our honeymoon and I am wearing an expensive lingerie, right now, like right now…'' she pleaded, standing in front of her.

''maybe next time, sorry'' he said.

''I should have taken my clothes off, too bad, it didn't work, I should change'' she thought annoyed.

Neil went to work early. Zid's phone rang. She answered. She let his boss know that she was on her way and that he didn't have to worry about anything because she got it. She changed and hopped in her motorcycle. Speeding away. They heard a loud bang. It was done.

Neil and his partner Jonathan Speed arrived in the crime scene. They both know that the man was dead just looking at him. It was a head shot and was perfectly performed.

''he's dead'' said Speed, ''I guess our hit man strikes again'' he added as Neil clenched his fists, ''hey partner calm down, I know this is somehow personal to you but please take it easy'' Speed looked at him.

Meanwhile, Zid walked into her office and found Charles sitting on her chair, smiling at her while leaning on her chair.

''how can I say thank you to you, you always make my day'' he said, smiling at her.

''just doing my job Sir'' she said, casually.

Charles got up and left her office. Her phone rang and guess what it was her egotistical sister Alluna screaming and yelling at a customer as she tells Zid her problem about her client in the salon.

''why are you telling this to me?'' asked Zid.

''because you are my sister'' Alluna uttered.

''I'll talk to you later'' Zid turned her phone off.

Zid left home early to stop by the school. She looked up and saw another one of them. She was sent by Charles to work with. She has no idea who she was though, but all she knew was that she was going to talk and work with someone.

''you're late Velvet'' said a woman walking from the hallway door.

''hi there Aya, it's been a while'' Zid said.

''Boss asked me to come with you, we have a joined mission'' Aya sneered.

''then let's go red riding hood'' Zid smiled.

The agents thought that they will never catch him if they don't do something about it. They will be chasing him forever. The thing about this assassin was that he worked clean, he struck so well and killed with precision. How can they catch him?

''O'Hara, Speed look at this'' said Claire.

The news said that the principal of Bryman High School was dead hit point blank, just like the previous unsolved cases caused by the unknown hit man. Neil and Jonathan rushed to the crime scene, as they do, Zid and Aya were watching the agents and the police in the crime scene.

''let's go'' said Zid.

Zid's mother was waiting for her, sitting on the porch. Zid saw her and smiled at her. She wasn't expecting her there around this time because she was usually busy all the time. Zid's mother got up and hugged her so tight. Zid asked what she was doing there, but her mother was telling her that they were always busy, she never got a chance to tell them how happy she was and that they needed to give her grandchildren.

''what do you want?'' Zid asked once again.

''I never told you how happy I am for you, and I am sorry on behalf of your father...'' her mom uttered.

''that was a long time ago'' Zid said while giving her mother some tea.

''I know what he did was unforgivable to you, and I didn't do anything to stop it'' her mom explained.

''well, it's too late now. I knew from the start I was the one who will carry his mistakes for the rest of my life'' Zid said while sipping her tea.

''does he know?'' Mom asked.

''no and he will never know, so please don't tell him anything'' Zid's tone was threatening in nature.

Meanwhile in the crime scene O'Hara and Speed were still there trying to figure out what happened in here and how no one seen this coming specially with all the cameras around the school, nobody has seen anything. Speed looked at Neil who was focused on looking and investigating the body.

''don't you think you should be home now with your wife; you've been here forever'' Speed insisted that he go home.

"she's not complaining, isn't she?'' another agent asked while Neil was somehow annoyed by the question.

''you have a wife now, go home with her'' Speed added.

''since when did you become my love guru?'' Neil exclaimed.

''just saying dude'' Speed laughed.

Meanwhile, Zid was cooking something for dinner while her mother was still there looking at her. Her mother asked her many times to tell them that she had enough, but Zid answered and replied that there was nothing she can do at this point because of what her father did.

''why don't you just tell them that you had enough?!'' her mom insisted.

Zid ignored her mother's statement once again and finished cooking food for dinner.

''mom even though I wanted to, I just can't'' Zid said.

''what if he finds out?'' mom asked.

''he won't if you won't say anything'' Zid said.

''okay, I must go then'' her mom remarked as she left.

Neil got home and saw his mother-in-law leaving their house. They talked for a while, but she left anyway. He asked her what she was doing here, but Zid told him that it was nothing she just wanted to make sure we were alright.

''anyway, I will be heading at the Prime Minister's Conference this coming week, we were hired to do the job of guarding him, to make sure that the Prime Minister is safe'' Neil explained while Zid prepared his food.

''I see'' she said.

''I must go now, we will discuss our strategy regarding this, so don't wait for me, bye'' said Neil as he kissed her then left again without even touching his food.

''my lucky day'' she thought.

Aya called her and asked her to come to her pad to show her new baby. Zid finished cleaning up and went to where Aya was. She knocked on the door and heard someone said, "come in". Zid opened the door and there she was playing with her "baby"

''here it is, a 12.7 x 108 mm cartridge nice huh?!'' Aya was excited, prancing around her gun.

''distance, maximum effective range is 1500 to 2000 meters'' Zid stated.

''that's right!'' said a half-naked Charles.

''I invited her to see my new baby'' Aya said, who was in her night gown, ''so what do you think?'' Aya asked.

''the longer the range the better'' Zid indicated, smiling at Aya.

Charles looked at Zid, obviously he liked her or possibly he was in love with her. Aya was waving her gun while Zid stood there telling Aya not to wave her gun because she might kill someone when they both laughed. Zid said goodbye at Aya and Charles as she sped away.

As the week progress, Zid went to the National Library's stockroom. She brought with her, her precious toy, a .408 cheytac, maximum effective range more than 2400m long enough for her to take her precious shot; she assembled her rifle, while doing this the Prime Minister walked towards the podium to address his speech. Zid looked forward to taking her perfect shot once again.

Agents were scattered in all the surrounding areas. Zid pulled the trigger and the customized bullets speeding faster and hit the Prime Minister point blank between the eyes.

Zid disassembled her rifle and left no evidence. She left so fast that no one even noticed anything. She called Charles and let him know that the job was done.

Everyone was running around and everywhere, as they screamed the Prime Minister was dead. O'Hara and Speed and the other agents failed to do their job and Neil was pissed, but he smirked because this time they outsmarted the assassin.

''I knew it, sir you are safe here'' Neil said.

A double clever, but that's about to change. A second bullet sped through and hit the real Prime Minister directly in his brain stem. Neil and the other agents can't believe it.

Charles was surprised that Zid knew about this. He had no idea, but he was amazed at Zid and how she was able to determine this without much intel. She was truly his greatest assassin.

''how'd you know that the prime minister is a double?'' Charles asked.

''well let's just say that I am good at what I do'' Zid uttered.
