The Magpie & The Jewel [Ruby]

[attr="class","iii"]Is it sick of me
To need control of you
To want you crawling on your knees
To want you biting down on me

[attr="class","naen"]Now, that was more like it. Finally a nice, not really difficult but at least not boring - mission, was given to the Israeli assassin to be completed. Not that she complained about whatever other tasks she had been assigned to perform until now, no. But apparently, when you pissed Ryan off somehow, ypu got grounded. And grounded good, since that meant the Head of Enigma will only give you missions such as "go fetch me some vodka" ,"go fetch more vodka" , or just generally boring, lifeless stuff like clean the weapons, sort the knives etc etc.

Yes, the main reason why Ruby had been somewhat "grounded" , scolded a bit actually, was because she placed a pink tiara on Ryan's head while he was passed out drunk on the couch, and took pictures of him like that. But that wasnt even the mistake, that was because she developed the photos and pinned them on Enigma's panel (where they made sketches, threw knives at the profile picture of Shaun Bianchi, and all that) so everyone could see and laugh at them.

Not like that stopped Ruby from fucking around with others' nerves anyway. But now, when her superficial week of being grounded (family terms, since Enigma was a big, dysfunctional family) was over, she had to stretch out of her comfort zone and grab a weapon. The target? Some owner of a jewellery store, a sketchy guy really. Enigma thought he might have some..unfair trades, under the table, be those related to whatever false jewel dealer, or just plainly unfair business. Nevertheless, Ruby had to drag the guy out of the game, out of the business.

Armed with two pocket knives yet no gun (it was not a distance job, nor was the target expected to be armed) , one in her boot and the other in her leather pants' pocket, Blackwood arrived at the boutique, offering a small smile to the woman behind the counter, and asked for directions to the bathroom. The lady was kind enough to show her, before returning to her duties. It seemed to be the end of her shift, and another woman took her place soon after, not knowing about the blonde in the building. But now they had another visitor, so it didnt matter anyway.

Once in the restroom, the woman sheated her hands using a pair of latex gloves, and put her hair up in a ponytail, holding one knife in her hand. She had paid attention to the way here, memorised how another office, marked Employees Only, was close to the bathroom. That must be the office of the guy, since there were no other doors.

And with no hesitation, the blonde knocked once, before allowing herself in and closing the door as she found it. "Can I help you? This is a staff only area, miss." The man's deep voice could be heard, but it didnt take long until he was left breathless. Lifeless. Ruby was not one to talk during work, not when she didnt personally know the target. And a slice to the throat was all it took to get this job done. Now came the tricky part: hiding the body.

"Where the hell.." Mumbling to herself, Red cleaned her knife off of blood by wiping it against the guy's suit, and pocketed it afterwards. She bent the body, off from his chair and crouched the man under his desk, stuffing him there with no grace. There was enough evidence to accuse some worker of this murder, it has been taken care of in the previous days. There were not video cameras in this office, nor the corridor, so that was a good bonus. But there was a camera in the store itself, and it all showed on the desktop on the wooden desk here. "Corpse, stay. Good corpse." Yes, she found herself making dog jokes on her own, and even pointing her index at the folded body, but no one was there to question her sanity anyway. Ruby took off her gloves, stuffing the most bloody one inside the other and dumped them into the trashcan of the office. They were latex, no fingerprints on those, and the blood was all his anyway. More evidence against the workers here.

But while she randomly, maybe curiously threw a glance at the desktop, Ruby spotted an employee, dragging some girl, or teen by her arm into the office. Wait, here?? Shit, shit, shi "Move, deadass." She muttered, fully aware that the guy was..yeah. She shoved two kicks with her boots to push the man better under the desk, so no limb would be seen and nothing would be questioned. Ruby sat in his chair casually, like she belonged there, and watched the two females enter the office.

The blonde adopted a sudden seriousness, pretending to be looking over some random papers on the desk. "Yes? Sorry, he went out for a break, some phone call, anyway. What seems to be the problem? I'll deal with it, and you're free to return to your place while I do so." Confidently, with an air of stability, Ruby rolled her eyes at first, to appear annoyed by her fake boss' break time, and then raised a brow curiously at the employee. Why was she bringing this teenage girl here? Red also hadnt seen this woman before, so she might be the second shift. Good.

Blackwood sat up from her desk, avoiding to stumble due to some hand laying at het feet, and rounded the desk, leaning against it's face, arms crossed at the two. Playing superior never got questioned, so that seemed to be her plan.
