Kidnapped By Assassins: A Hacker's Story

5. Assassins Revealed

Jordan Maston POV

I decided against any attempt of escape while on the plane. Besides the only way I could escape was to jump out of it and I didn't really like that idea, not that I was scared of heights but the fact that the ground would be coming towards me 200 miles per second was a turn off. I didn't get out of my seat. Miles and Eli talked among themselves and I'm pretty sure Leo and Jace slept. I stared at the new man. Eli, he was well built, similar to the others, and he had tattoos on his arms. Not as many as Jace however. His eyes were a emerald green. which I only knew because he caught me back at the airport and made me look at him, you know...before he threw me over his shoulder...I was brought back out of my thoughts as I saw Miles and Eli begin to fall asleep. Once I was sure they were out. I unlocked my belt and went snooping. I sneak back past the lavatory and into the other part of the jet. I begin opening draws and cupboards, every once in a while I looked back to see if they had woken up.

I was going to find out who they were and what they wanted from me. I made myself that promise. I haven't done anything bad, in a while...but what the hell do they want from me? and how did they find me in the first place?

I continued to look through cupboard after cupboard, I finally come to the end of the cupboards and finally see what I believe I was looking for. It was a large Manila folder. I carefully and quietly placed it on the bench top in front of me and opened it, staring at its contents. I rummaged through the file it was filled with what looked like profiles of people, different people, there were people of all different professions, from doctors to musicians. but the files had detailed information regarding their lives, where they lived, what they did and then at the bottom where to find the 'target'.

Target?

What did it mean by target? I heard a noise I looked up to see if my kidnappers were still asleep the one known as Leo was moving around in his seat, still very much asleep, while none of them seemed to move. Keep going before they catch you! I face my head back towards the folder and looked down to the side and it had a tab separating a section of the folder.

The word 'Eliminations' was written on the tab. Eliminations? what did they eliminate?

I flipped over the profiles and looked at the separated section. and I began to frown.

People!? it was the people? they killed them? I'm stuck in a plane with murderers. Holy s**t! I was attempting to compose myself in an attempt to not wake the men up. The last thing I needed was for one of them to catch me, they'd probably skin me alive with a smile on their face, seeing the gruesome ways all these people were killed. One woman was strangled, while a doctor was electrocuted to death by a Defibrillator. The eliminated section of the file was the same thickness as the profiles. I looked further down the file and onto the side where the tabs were listed, at the bottom of the list the word 'Priorities' read. A quick glance towards the killers I then flipped to the priorities section. It was thin, no more than 30 pages at most compared to over the one hundred in the other parts of the folder. the beginning of the file had a cover page that simply read 'mission priority- locate and contain Hacker' my eyes widen. Shit... this couldn't be about me right? no..i shouldn't jump to conclusions. I flipped over the page and read it word for word. s**t.

my eyes widened, I put the information sheet beside me before I flipped through the rest of the section. there were photos of Eli's Café along with photos of my parents house, my school, and my apartment. I began breathing heavily, I attempted to compose myself and again lifted my head to see my kidnappers. While the file told me that they were professional murderers, Assassins? and basically my entire life story, and the fact that it told me that they were looking for me, it did not tell me what they wanted for me, nor how they found me. I was so careful when it came to being online, I mainly piggybacked off free Wi-Fi, and if I did use my own I purposefully made sure that my location went through proxy servers so they couldn't trace me. it would have taken a lot of work, and effort to find me. I flipped through the next couple of pages skimming over them, mainly about my life, my sad life when I was aged between 4-7 years old, before Mia and Ethan adopted me I was in and out of foster care, most of which were abusive. I flipped the page as I glanced up and then back down again. I looked in horror as my eyes ran from one side of the page to another. It was screenshots of messages between myself and my sort-of illegal employer- Knox.

What the hell is going on? I hadn't done a serious job in months. The only thing I did do was for Knox. That security firm?! Phoenix Security? No...that Son of a Bitch

I felt the puzzle fit in to place. Knox asked for access but what if because I burrowed in to their firewall they got access to my computer and then to my location. f*****g Knox. That son of a b***h. "Knox..." I said out loud. "what was that?" I hear a voice ask me, causing me to nearly jump out of my skin I spin around. It was Eli, he had a smirk on his face. "t-thats how you found me... Knox wanted me to hack into that security firm, your security firm, and that's how you got access to my computer and my location..." I say to him in particular horror. He standing only a few inches away from me, he raised his hand and placed it under my chin, propping it up, making me look at his eyes. "smart girl, I knew you'd figure it out soon or later" he says. "although sweetheart, it is quite rude to look through someone's private files. you know, confidentiality and all." he smirks again. "S-similarly to the fact that you guys k-kill people for a living and you're telling me that I invade your privacy?" I throw back, utterly uselessly due to my stutter as I pull away from his hand, taking several steps away from the well-built man"Aww Princess, are you scared?" I hear as I see as Leo's face mocking me, while Miles and Jace get up from their seats and walk towards us. s**t. they're going to kill me!....wait...in the file it said 'no harm is to come to her' but why? they are assassins aren't they? not that I want to die, but why did they need me?

"G-go to hell!" I attempt to sound unfazed, much to my dismay I sounded like a five year old attempting to yell at someone when it was me that did the wrong thing. I looked at them seriously, attempting to keep a strong, confident façade. I felt my hands shaking. "what is it that you actually want from me?!" this time I kept my cool, As much as I could being stuck in a plane with a bunch murderers. "well Angel" Jace starts, "that's the one thing we don't know, big boss man, wanted to meet you personally, now I suggest you get back to your seat-before I carry you back-and put on your seat belt. I quickly comply with his firm orders. I walk pass Eli, catching a smell of his cologne, I proceed to walk passed Leo who has a dirty smile on his face as he looks me up and down, undressing me with his eyes. I could feel the carpet of the plane on the soles of my feet with every step, I wiz past Jace, not sparing him a glance, and finally walk passed Miles, who gives me a simple, possibly sincere smile as I make my back to my seat, clicking my belt in place.

I kind of wish I didn't find out who they were, they are professional killers, and I was betrayed by one of the people I trusted the most. Knox...I swear if I meet him, I'm going to break his nose. that is a promise.
