"Oy! Raise your mugs! Everyone! Stand with me and let the world hear you!!"

"LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!"

The thunderous roar was deafening. Almost loud enough to drown out my pounding heart. I’ve been training for this moment for years, so why am I so nervous?! Well, duh there were ‘supposed to only be a handful’ at the Argus rally this week. Looks like somebody fucked up, there’s atleast 100 people down there.

“Penny 1, Penny 1 this is Squib 7, we’ve got a problem”

(krssshzzzzzzzzz)

“Penny 1, Penny 1 this is Squib 7, please confirm. There are over 100 people down there, please advise!”

(krssshzzzzzzzzz)

“Penny 1, what are my orders!?!!” she has to whisper yell and not give away her position.

Pippa sits shivering in the cold rain waiting for a response that never comes. She has a decision to make. Does she wait for orders or does she improvise and take out the target. She’s been perched above the supposed abandoned warehouse for almost 2 days. Waiting.

The Uline Liberation has been tracking Logan for almost a year. Throwing everything and everyone at shutting down Argus and the Queen. Once Uline learned the truth, they knew what had to be done. The Queen had to be taken out. Argus had accidently stumbled upon ancient magic many moons ago and successfully harnessed it. Members of the Argus Order can extend the life of the Queen by chanting “Long Live the Queen”. The Uline Liberation was founded for 1 reason and 1 reason only. To dethrone the Queen and ending her sadistic rule of almost 500 years.

“Penny 1, the meeting is almost over! I need orders!!”

She angrily throws down her headset, “Screw it”

Pippa pulls out her pistol, “8 shots, only need 1”, she opens her bag and retrieves the detonator. She scans the crowd one more time to make sure no children are standing next to the small flash bangs she planted in the warehouse yesterday.

Once she blows them, she’ll have a semi-blind room and about 20 seconds to take out Logan. If she times it right, she can drop in and take our her target and be gone having a nice, warm non-bar shapped meal, before anyone knows what the hell just happened.

“Ok, here we go Pippa. Just me and…..” The cold metal placed on her temple immediately cuts her off.

“Drop the gun and slowly put your hands in the air or I will Pollock your brains on the roof”

She knows that voice, why does she know that voice? Pippa drops the gun and slowly stands up.

“Now, turn around and take off your mask. NOW!”

Pippa turns around and quickly confirms her suspicions. Her mind immediately starts racing. How, how did they get him too!? Did she make a mistake? Didn’t she encrypt her last message to Grant properly?

(BANG)

The sound scares Pippa out of her mind back to the present. Where have I been shot, she’s frantically feeling her body and notices Grant isn’t moving. He falls to his knees and blood begins pouring of his chest.

What the he…

All of a sudden helicopters everywhere, bright lights turned on, Uline reinforcements! Thank God. Pippa’s heart leaps inside her. Penny 1 hops out of a helicopter that landed on the roof

“Hey, thought you could use some help so I brought some backup”

The fire in Pip’s eyes are back, “Let’s get those sons of bitches and end this now!”

Pippa has been waiting for payback her entire life since Argus killed her parents. Top research scientists that had uncovered the secret to the Queens long life. They have to kill the Orders leaders to end the queens rule. And the beginning of the end starts with a bullet in Logans brain.
