The girl with short red hair

"I love you" said a girl with short red hair to James. The girl had a round face and was around 5'10 feet. She was really light in complexion and very beautiful. She had an egg shaped face.

The girl and James were in a small room with a soft bed at its center. The room was a little dark but it was light enough for them to see each other.

"I love you too" James said this in a low tone as he removed his black T-shirt and was now holding her by the waist.

The girl had now fallen on the bed horizontally and James had also fell on top of her but now before removing her bra. She was also now half naked as James.

They were both kissing each other and then...

BUZZ***BUZZ***BUZZ***

Someone phone was now ringing in the bed room.

"Babe won't you pick your phone" the girl with short red hair said to James in a sexy tone.

"No, not yet, not now I would do that later" James replied in a sexy tone while his hands were make an adventure on top of her body.

BUZZ***BUZZ***BUZZ***

The phone was still vibrating in the small bed room.

"won't you pick the phone" she said to James in a quiet tone while moaning because he was now kissing her neck.

"Come on I can pick that later". He replied.

"Go and pick your phone, it might be related to the business" She said these words while also pushing him a little, from her body.

"fine" he said this while leaving the bed in frustration.

James was now naked and his butt was no exception.

"you have a sexy butt" she said to James while making bitting her lower lip.

"your butt is sexier" he replied back to her.

"who is this Unknown caller" he said while looking at his phone. He immediately ended the call But before he could go back to bed...

BUZZ***BUZZ***BUZZ***

The phone was ringing again. "This is really annoying" he said in an aggressive tone.

"just pick the call it might be important" the lady with red hair said to James.

"Hello" James said as he picked the phone. "who is this" he held the phone with his right hand and the phone was close to his right ear.

"I would like to remain anonymous". the unknown caller said with a feminine voice. "I would like for us to enter into a contract; I want you to get an information for me"

"who are you!" James replied now shouting to the person at the other end of the phone "how did you also get my number" he also asked her.

"like I said I would like to stay anonymous" she replied back to him.

"But why" he asked.

"it is irrelevant, I just want you to get something for me and I would pay you what you want" the woman said back to James.

"What kind of information do you want me to get for you and where" James said back to the woman. This time he was now a little curious.

"I want you to go to Andrews house and steal his laptop I would pay you". She said through the phone.

"I can't do that he is one of the council member and prescisely he is actually the number fourteen in rank and interfering with such people will lead to death. I cannot do it." James said earnestly.

"We both understand that the sky is not our limit" she told James.

James responded to her again, now grinning, "We can still go above the sky."

She repeated over the phone, "The lovely things we see are not genuinely beautiful."

James retorted, "If we approach them from a different perspective."

James only needed to hear these words. James genuinely performed illegal tasks for which he risked execution if he were discovered.

James enquired, "So how much are you going to pay me?" He was prepared for business because he now knew that she was aware of who he was.

"I would pay you seven hundred thousand coins" she said to James. In Earth-16 they still used coins.

"No I disagree I want one million coins, we both know that going to the Andrew's house is risky. He has a good security and I need coins to get prepared". He said to her through the phone with confidence while scratching his chin a little.

"Okay, I know I can trust you, there is nothing hard for the JUST AND UNJUST ONE" she said back to him.

"Now payment first before service" he said to her through the phone.

"How do I know if after payment you will not run away immediately" she asked him.

"I always perform my duty if you have heard of the Just and Unjust one, then you should know what I mean" he said back to her a little offended.

"okay please do not get offended what is the mode payment" she said to him. I want to stay anonymous.

"I also like to stay anonymous, there is no need for you to see my face. I will inform you later through this number about the way you will pay me" James said to her while also cutting the call immediately.

James always took a different type of payment always different from his previous form of payment. He did not want anyone to find out his real face as doing so will put him in danger. He trusted no one.

"I believe you heard everything" he told the red haired girl who was now dressing herself.

"yeah, Tomorrow please, I have to go" she told him and also giving a kiss to the cheek.

"come on don't go yet Layla" James said to her while also holding her waist.

"I have to" Layla said back. The short red haired girl name was Layla.

"No I don't want you to" he said back to Layla.

Without giving Layla a chance to respond, he instantly started carrying her by the waist.

James kissed Layla while she was seated on the bed. Layla was being methodically undressed by James, who was standing on top of her. Currently.

She moaned to him and murmured in a low voice, "I have to go back home."

She was given no chance to object or protest as James, who was still naked, gave her a passionate kiss.

They both had sex after she eventually gave up.

The next morning after having sex again, they both had a shower together.

James then called the anonymous caller back with another phone. He immediately scattered the phone she used to call him the other day. He always does this to hide his track. He had an email address that most people used to text him. Although that email was public he could still not be found it was strange, whenever the security personnel tried to capture his whereabout using his public email which was

theunjustandjustone@don'tgiveafuck.com

Whenever the security personnel tried to trace him Through the email. it would show on there servers that he was everywhere in the town. This was a clear sign that the so called person that referred himself to the unjust and done was a good hacker that he was able to distabilize their trackers settings whenever they wanted to track him down.

Most of the guards who were chosen to determine his identity were later discovered to be deceased. It was obvious that a serial killer was responsible for this.

The community decided to leave it that way since people would die everytime they tried to learn his secret.

The King and the council members did make a significant offer to the public to pay anybody any amount they choose if they could bring the person wearing the mask alive to them.

He was wearing a mask, and it had a demon-like visage. He wore nothing but black. The face was completely in black and had a frightening pattern linked to it.

The face mask was so scary that his victims did not look at his face before they were killed by him. He did all illegal jobs.

At morning he was just a regular cleaner at the street. but at night he was a deadly asassin.

James had just called her phone number which was ringing at the other end.

"hello who is this?" she said to the unknown caller.

"the lovely things we see are not genuinely beautiful" he said to her through the phone.

"so it is you" she replied through the phone with a smile.

"so how can I pay you" she asked him through the phone.

"First, What city do you leave in?" he asked her through the phone.

"I can't say, do you even remember I told you wanted to stay anonymous". she said back to James.

"if so then I would have to select the city of payment then" he said to her.

"But wait why don't I just transfer to you" she made a suggestion to James.

James was a smart guy that is why he had lasted for so long without being cut.

"Like I said I don't want anybody to know my identity" he said to her slowly so that she could hear and understand word by word with her brain.

"I want you to come to Citarada and alsobring the money there" He informed her.

Citarada was the name of another city in Earth-16.

"okay, but how can I remained anonymous if I go to that place and give you your money physically" she asked him a little confused.

"who said anything about we seeing each others face". He said back to her. "When you go the Citarada just go the largest market in the city. inside that market there is a trading center, when you get to the trading center. You will see a building that looks like a small dojo, enter inside and give the coins physically to the poor blind man there and tell him that IT IS ALL WELL."

"I hope you understand what I just said every detail"

"yes, but what if the blind man is not there?" she asked him through the phone.

"He would be there I can assure you that he never leaves that place he has no place to go, now just give him the money so that I can perform my part of the bargain". Immediately he said these words he cut the call immediately without hearing her response.

James was not actually rich but he just loved giving to the poor and this was the way he did it. James was in between a rich and a poor person. He was not poor neither was he rich.

While all these were said Layla was behind James cleaning her hair with a towel.

"We have a mission to fulfill" James said with a smile to Layla.

"count me in" She said back to him.

*******

The anonymous lady had paid the money to the blind old man at the dojo.

It was now night time and time for the Just and Unjust Assassin to perform his own part of the bargain.

James was now dressed as the just and unjust Assassin and so did Layla.

Layla did not dress suspicious as he did, she just wore a black T-shirt and a black leggings with a black bag in her hand.

James has not dressed at the time, he just kept his suit in his bag. He dressed like a normal driver.

He drove Layla who was at the back seat to Andrew's estate. The estate security first stopped his car at the gate entrance. He did not wanted to act suspicious so he did obey. His main was to get through that gate and activate.

"your ID Card Sir" one of the guards said to James. Three guards were stationed outside. The guards here were not dressed like the regular Earth-16 army who just one single long black cloth that covered everywhere of their body. The guards here were wearing camouflage. They dressed like real life soldiers.

James gave them the ID card without saying a word. He gave them a fake ID. The ID card was actually made by someone for James. James usually brought fake ID card with him whenever he was on a mission, he always did this so that he could seak his identity.

The ID card was inserted into a scanner and than scanner was scanning the quick response code and it started showing these informations:

[Name: Barry Leo]

[Age: 36]

[Occupation: A Driver of Andrew's Estate]

Immediately this occupation section appeared on the screen. The guard looked at James and thought: 'But he is new here how can this be or was he just appointed yesterday?' he soldiers thought to himself.

He looked back at the phone to continue reading the messages.

[Eye color: Black]

[City of Origin: Citarada]

[City of Residence: Litarania]

[Height: 6 feet 1inches]

[Hair colour: Black]

[Monthly Coin Income: 10,000 Coins]

Only the Age, Eye color, Height, Hair Color were the truth there, the rest of them were false.

"yeah, you go" the guard who took his ID Card had given him back after looking at the information on the screen.

"Thanks" James said.

"we have to check inside your car" said the guard while tapping his car booth. The car was pitch black.

"okay sir" James replied as he also pressed a button in his car and as his hand pressed the button his booth opened.

"Alright, we would also like to see inside" the guard said after looking at the booth. Inside the booths were groceries, so the first thought that came to his mind was they were gifts ordered by someone leaving in Andrew's estate, because at the time Andrew's birthday was about to come up.

"yes sir" James replied while also pressing a button so that his car window screen opened.

"hey pretty lady" said the guard as his eyes caught Layla who was sitting at the back seat.

The guards did not even bother Layla they just told them to go. This was a stupid act on the guards part.

James had now drived into the estate. Inside the estate were many houses and it was hard to discover the particular house that Andrew lived in. But for him the anonymous caller had already given him the location.

He stopped his car close to the house at a place that would not make them suspicious. It was now left for them to enter. James brought the groceries from his booth and Layla also followed him. When they got to the gate a guard also wearing camouflage asked them: "what are you looking for, do you have any business with Mr. Andrew". There were a total of about 14 guards stationed in and outside the building. so it was hard to do anything suspicious. This was the reason why he taxed the anonymous caller so much because this was a lot more risker than the other business he used to do.

"Yes sir, we came here to give him some groceries gift for his up coming birthday." Layla did the talking while pointing at the many groceries James held at his hand.

The guard brought out his scanner and scanned the goods and also there body. Surprisingly, According to the system it showed that they did not carry any harmful material. But this was actually wrong, James suit was high tech so it was not detectable by the scanner.

"Okay you may go in" the guard said after scanning the item.

"thank you sir" Layla responded.

The gates opened immediately the two of them came close it was as if the gates had a mind of it's own.

They had now entered the house and shockingly there was a party: "I thought his birthday was a week from now so what is this party about" Layla said to James in a high tone.

James could not hear her he just kept his two fingers close to his right ear, this was also a clear sign she needed to do the same. Before coming here they had inserted tiny microchips in their ears that could not be seen by the human naked eye. After tapping it, she also did the same. Now in this way they would have to just say a word even whisper and the other person would hear clearly.

"what where you saying, I could not her you" he said to her still holding the groceries in his hand, he said this still looking at everyone amazed.

"I said I thought his birthday was a week from now so why all this people and why are they throwing a party?" she asked him and this time her hand was on his shoulder.

He moved a little so that her hand was no longer on his shoulder.

"I am also confused as you are" he said and this time he was now looking at her.

Almost every one in the party dressed formal some wearing designer outfit some dressed showing their status in the society and so on.

"Are those groceries for Andrew" said a man wearing an entirely black suit with a bow tye. The man was black and was around 5'9 feet.

"Yes" Layla said before even James could object.

"Alright come over here" the man dressed in a black suit who was wearing a bow tye replied to them.

He carried them upstairs to another big room. Inside the room were only the man, James and Layla.

"You can drop them h...."

The man could not complete his sentence as he was being kicked by Layla in the face with her heels.

The man fell but before he could stand up to retaliate. James had given him several punches. The man black clothes was now soaked in blood.

"How can we get to the power house" James asked in a demanding tone.

"I would rather die than give you that information. I love my master" he said to James.

This made James furious and it was showing clearly on his face. James just wanted to do this and get out of here. He just hated rich people so seeing them made him angry; not jealous.

"Maybe if you lose a finger, you will rethink it" As James said These words he held one of the man finger from the left hand.

James brought out a pen from his pocket and in an instant the tip of the pen turned into a sharp razor. Like I said earlier The guards could not detect James weapons because they were of high tech.

The pen that it's tip just turned to Razor would only turned to Razor if James told it with his hand and turned it twice. The pen was also black in colour. The pen only turned to Razor only when it sensed James fingerprint, even Layla could not do anything with this pen.

It would look like a normal pen to any other human. It could still be used for writing, only this time instead of writing it could now be used to assault another person.

SPLAT***SPLAT***SPLAT****

Those where the sound of the man's blood dropping on the floor. He could not shout in pain because his mouth had already been covered by Layla who used a white thick handkerchief a tye his mouth. His shout only sounded like mumbling.

James had already looked the door.

"Would you like to give me an answer or I should continue" James said to him. The man nodded his head in pain indicating a yes. Tears were running through his cheek.

"Good" James said as he tapped the man's head like a man petting his dog.

The man had just described the location of the power house to them. Immediately he was done describing it.

SPLAT***SPLAT***SPLAT***

James had just made another mark at the man's forearm. it happened at a speed the man did not even understand himself.

"if you tell anyone what just happened here, I can assure you that all of yours close relations and you will be begging for death". James said this words in other to threaten the man.

Although James was a bad guy, he only killed people who deserved it or people who wanted to kill him and those who got in his way.

This man had done him no wrong so it was pointless if he killed him.

They left the man there with no medical attention, the handkerchief was still tied to the man's face. The man was still grateful they left him alive.

James and Layla had now gone to the location of the power house. They moved in a way not to look suspicious. They were now viewing the front of the power house but were still hiding to not be seen in sight by anyone.

A guard was standing close to the power house. He had a gun held in his hands. He was not smiling even a little.

"I believe it times for the Assassin to come up, babe" Layla told James while looking at the man.

Immediately she said those words James brought out another pen which was also black and then turned it twice and immediately the pen had transformed to a suit and covered James's body in almost an instant. This was a high level tech.

The suit he was wearing was entirely black and the face mask looked a demon Having sharp teeth. It looked so real that it made others believe that he was actually a demon. it was really terrifying to look at. The palms of the suit were sharp and could extend. The claws of the hands of the suit could extend and become sharper. The suit made him more durable, increased his agility, increased his speed and strength.

The suit was almost invisible to be seen In the dark by normal humans except one had an ability that improved their eye sight.

The guard was still standing at the entrance of the power house then suddenly something wanted to hit him but he had Dodge it by moving his body to the other side. His gun had also fell to the ground.

It was James who wanted to hit the man by using his claws to make a mark on the man's chest. The man could not see James at first because James was wearing his black suit which made him a little visible from but when James got close to the power house, the light around the power house made him visible to be seen.

But still James moved at an incredible speed but the soldiers was a well trained soldier if it was an ordinary person James would have successfully hit that person with his claws in the chest.

After his first attack was unsuccessful because the soldier had Dodge, James immediately sent a kick to the soldiers face the soldiers also Dodge this, four more kicks were thrown by James with both legs, but the soldiers Dodge them all.

It was clear that while James was moving an incredible speed the soldiers was also. it was clear that both suit increased the speed of both of them.

After James had moved both legs he was being his claws to the man's face this time. But before the claws could even get close to the man's face. The guard had sent out a punch to James stomach.

The punch to the stomach was not successful because James had Dodge it by moving backwards, but that still didn't stop his clawed hands from moving forward and eventually a scratch was made to the guards face. The claws scratched the guards face Because James moved backward to protect himself from the punch that was aimed at his stomach, if it was not for the fact that James went backward, the man face would have been damaged so badly.

The claw had scratched the man at his cheek. The scratch streched from the soldiers left ear to his mouth. But the scratch cut off his left ear successfully.

SPLAT***SPLAT***SPLAT***

The soldiers was already bleeding. He did not care about the bleeding. He was confronting THE JUST AND UNJUST ONE. The Assassin that most people were scared of was now confronting him and if he was able to kill this Assassin in front of him, his name would become famous and he would earn a lot of money. But some thoughts were running through his head and that was: 'this is not a human, it is a demon'. James suit looked so realistic that people thought the person behind the suit was actually a demon.

After James had scratched the man's face. The man although feeling pain did not care, he just picked his gun that had fell on the floor and before he could carry it successfully.

"Argh!!!!..." the man shouted in pain as two of his teeth were leaving his face. Before the man could bend down to carry his gun. An unexpected kick was given to him by James which made two of his front teeth leave his face. James had super strength when wearing the suit so it was no surprise to Layla who was still watching.

Layla was looking around to see if people where coming so that she could inform James. But unfortunately no bother came to the power house even the guards did not bother. All the excitement was going on in the main hall where the party was held.

The man had fell to the ground and James was looking at the man as the man was bringing out blood from his mouth.

Immediately James had opened his palm. His claws increased and it was clear he wanted to kill the man. "prealje don't kihs me" the man said. His English was now pronounced incorrect because of two of his teeth (prescisely the front teeth) were gone and the rest were currently shaking. The man actually intended to say: "please don't kill me" James understand what the man meant, the man cough a little and so did more blood leave his mouth.

James did not see any reason to kill the man although the man got in his way. But he found killing this man as irrelevant. James then went into the power house and then cut off the wire.

Immediately he cut off the wire with his claws. The whole place became dark and most of the people there were worriedly. It was clear that something most of happened at the power house. Three guards immediately ran to the location of the power house.

When they got their, James and Layla had already left but the guard that had been beaten was still there.

"what is going on"

"why is there power outage"

"what is really going on"

People started asking each other.

With this little time and how dark it was James and Layla had stolen the laptop and left. James still had beaten four more people inside their before he got Andrew's laptop.

*******

James was now ready to deliver the laptop to the anonymous colour. He had received his more and he gave seven hundred thousand coins to the blind old man and he only took three hundred thousand coins.

James told the woman to meet the blind man at the same dojo to take the laptop and she did.

*******

It was night time and James and Layla were kissing each other passionately.

"I love you" She told James while naked.

"I love you more" James told her back while holding her waist.

"Let me go an take a shower" he told her.

"okay" she told him back.

While James was in the shower. He heard people arguing in the room. He could not see because he closed the bathroom doors.

He turned the shower off so that he could hear what was going on. But immediately he turned off the shower to hear the conversation that was going on between Layla and an unknown person.

"you did not perform your own part of the bargain" Someone told Layla. It was hard for him to understand what gender that voice belonged to because the person kind of altered his voice. The voice was sounding like it was coming from a human.

BANG***BANG***BANG***

The sound of gun shoot could be heard. Immediately James heard those sounds he came rushing outside. When James came outside the only person he could see was Layla who was lying on the floor with three bullets inserted into her chest, her blood was leaving her her body rapidly and it could be seen on the floor clearly. It was as if the person who shoot her had super speed because immediately James opened the bathroom door the person was no where to be found leaving no trace.

"Layla!!!" James shouted as he ran to her direction, she was also still naked and so was he. James looked left and right to see if he could find the culprit but he could not.

James was now holding Layla on his arm and crying and also begging her at the same time. "Please don't leave me" he said to her as he was still crying.

Layla could not reply she had already kicked the bucket. She was now dead...

*******

"Layla!!!, Layla!!!!, Layla!!!" James was shouting at the middle of the night. It was a dream. It was actually a memory that had turned into a dream in James head.

The sound of James shouting had drawn the attention of both Martha Edward and Carlos Edward. They were both heading to the room James was sleeping.

'did they come to him too' Carlos thought to himself.

They had successful reached James room, they opened without knocking and they saw James shaking on top of his bed and it was clear he was having a bad dream. 'it was not them, thank goodness' Carlos Edward thought to himself as he looked left and right like he was expecting someone to be their torturing James.

They both tapped James to wake him up.

The continuous hitting had woken up James at last. "Bad dream I guess" Martha Edward said to James while smiling.

"Who's Layla" Carlos Edward said.

James did not answer them. He just immediately left the room like he was being chased by someone and went to the rest room inside the house and locked himself.

Immediately he locked himself inside, he was holding his eyes and scratching it. it was clear his eyes was itching him and his body temperature was getting hot and gradually something came out of his eyes. What came out of his two eyes was red and hot.

it was so hot that it burnt the shower and curtain in front of him.

It was heat vision...
