Her favorite knives

What am I getting myself in to? she thought as she scaled the wall and climbed inside through the window. It is not even night, anyone could see her climbing the wall and no one in their right mind would think she's from this house. She had never been this reckless when doing such things but they didn't have time to monitor this man's house, to plan everything like they always did. If shiyu was here this would've been so much more easy. She shook off these thoughts as she looked around the room. A desk, books , files. She realized it's a study room and grinned thinking luck was really her side today when she heard the footsteps. She went still. She looked around and found nothing to hide behind. She panicked as she heard them nearing, she ran and stood beside the door just as it opened.

"What in the hell are you talking about ?" she heard him shout. She didn't dare breath. She didn't even understand if the man at the door is the one she's been waiting for. If he comes inside and close the door, she's done for. He did come in but didn't close the door, walked straight towards his desk, his knuckles turned white as he clenched the phone. He stood at the desk with his back to song lin, she closed the door carefully and walked towards him, silent as a cat, holding two wicked looking knives. They were her favourite knives. Small but razor sharp. She came up behind him just as he was about to turn. He froze when he felt her blades pierce his skin.

"Move and you'll be dead in seconds." she whispered. The man tensed at the utter coldness in that voice.

"Wha...what do you want?" she hummed, taking her time, looking around the room.

"Take out your purse." she said. She felt his shock.

"You're here for robbery? not...not to kill me?" she angled her head and considered his words.

"Shut it and take out your purse" was all she said. He took it out his pocket and extended his hand back, giving it to her.

"Your watch, your phone and the chain around your neck too" she said as she took it from him. She felt his tense muscles relax as he realized this was just a robbery.

When she took them all from him, he said

"You're done? I don't have anything else on me" she leaned closer and whispered in his ear

"I've done this so many times but you're actually the first man who relaxed because it's a robbery" she paused and her lips curved in to a cold smile as she asked

"Are you expecting something more? something that involves killing you?" the man stiffened.

"I.." his throat bobbed "You don't know who I am. You'll regret this" he said. She arched a brow and spoke as she took out yet another syringe from her coat

"I don't care even if you are a president. All I care about is money. I don't give a shit about who you are--"

"But someday you will child," she was startled. child? seriously? But he spoke again

"There are guards outside, and around the house. Even if this time you don't get caught someday you will and you'll be punished" he paused and seemed to slightly turn his head back as he said "and I can see that you are a girl, there are far more ways to hurt girls other than physically harming you." he went on before she could say anything.

"Life is precious child. You could use your skills in other ways and be a good women." she presses the tip of her knife a bit which shut him up. There's a wicked gleam in her eyes as she lifted the syringe to his neck and said

"What makes life precious is money. What is a life without luxury? and you know what? the next time someone robs you, don't utter such nonsense because they are most likely to kill you" she then pressed the Syringe to his neck before he could say anything. It took all of 30 seconds for him to lose consciousness and slump against her. She dragged him over the chair behind his desk and made him sit. She sighed and went over to the window, the guards she left there didn't move an inch. Breathing a sigh of relief, she took one last look at the man in the chair, recalling the way he called her child and jumped through the window, landing beside the guards with a soft thud. She drew up her hood and walked over to the wall and in one swift movement she climbed up the wall and landed outside the house. She drew back her hood and removed her coat. She pulled open her hair, letting it fall to her waist. She looked around and found no one on the road. Good. she took out her phone, and started walking, phone to her ear. As she crossed the farmhouse's main gate, she could feel the guards's stares on her. She laughed in to the phone though, she didn't even make a call, pretending for all the world like she's just a women walking down the street, talking with her boyfriend on the phone.

As soon as she left that street, she got in to a taxi. She was about to dial shiyu's number but then it struck her that she's on her way home. She pursued her lips. She did everything she could for him to believe she's a theif but he's the chief of intelligence after all. What if he changed his data and passwords? She let out a growl of frustration. She didn't do this reckless thing for it turn out useless in the end. She paused and thought it over, an idea striking in her head. Still unsure whether if it would be okay or not, she dialed a number she saved not long ago.

"Yeah it's me. I need your help with something."
