Know your place

There they stood, two absolute killers ready to take each other apart. Rita smirked to herself as she slowly walked toward Percy. The murderous intent on Rita was hitting Percy in waves with each hit he felt like passing out. He stands his ground looking at her as Rita makes her towards him.

"Aren't you scared of me?" Rita asked

"Me, scared of a world-renown assassin no way," Percy said

"Oh, sarcasm you must have balls," Rita said

"Maam I'm 17," Percy said

"You know what I meant," Rita said

"Do I need to call the police Maam?" Percy asked

"I resisting my urges right now," Rita said

"MAAM!!" Percy exclaimed

"My urges to kill you," Rita said

"You're adorable," Percy said

Everything in Percy's environment seemed to stop all motion. In this instance can't hear, see or smell anything but he could feel everything. He felt every breath, smell, colour, sound and life around him. He felt like he was floating in nothingness even trying to move any body part seemed impossible. In his head, he could hear the voice of Rita echoing.

"You can't move can you," she said

"Let's this be a reminder that I could kill you instantly," she said

"So tread lightly," she said

Everything was now put back into motion as Percy came back into reality. Beads of sweat ran down his face with pores raised so much that hurt by the gentlest of breezes. With a shaky voice and his hand trembling against his chest he looked upward towards Rita but she wasn't there. A hand was gently placed against his shoulder which caused Percy to freeze up, from the corner of his eye he saw Rita behind him.

"Relax I have orders not to kill you," Rita said

Percy stood in absolute silence

"What happened to all that spunk?" Rita asked

Percy tried not to speak because he left all his weapons at home and if he spoke out of turn he'd be dead regardless of orders.

"What do you want?" Percy asked

"Nothing much, I came here to handle business," Rita said

"Did you kill Nagumo?" Percy asked

"No just delivered a message," Rita said

"A message huh" Percy

"What you're doing here?" Rita asked

"Just finding something out," Percy said

"Okay then," Rita paused, " Remember Percy those kids weren't your fault"

Rita's demeanour changes as she says this, she sounds more caring than usual. Percy immediately knows what she's talking about.

"How do you know about that?" Percy asked

"Percy we are closer than you imagine," Rita said

Percy turned around slowly to be met Rita's purple eyes looking back at him. At that moment he felt a connection with her that he never felt before. Rita turns around and starts to walk away as he stood there watching her walking away wanting to ask her more questions. Percy grits his teeth and heads towards the building as he gets closer to the building he could feel the nanites calling out to him. He walked up to the building and placed his hand on it, all the information about the building and the nanites flowed into him. With this information, he smiled looked towards the top of the building and says

"Nagumo you son of bitch"

---------------

Inside the building, Nagumo is pacing inside his office cursing

"Damn it what is that woman thinking," Nagumo said

"Just give her the girl," Emily said

"But we need her," Nagumo said

"Well give her the weapons," Emily said

"We don't have enough time to make more" Nagumo said

"Why is this girl so important?" Emily asked

"I can't tell you," Nagumo said

Emily gets up and slaps some senses into Nagumo then grabs his face then pulls him closer her

"Listen to me, just use the girl to get to Percy," Emily said, "Capture Percy and force him to tell us where the weapons are" Emily continued

"Okay..okay I can do that" Nagumo said, "What would I do without you"

"Hire Rita to retrieve her for us and also fill her in on the plan," Nagumo said

"What if she doesn't want to do it," Emily said

"Throw money at her until she does it just like a stripper," Nagumo said, "Wait that sounded bad didn't it" Nagumo

"It did sir" Emily

"I'm sorry," Nagumo apologised

"But please contact Miss Rita," Nagumo said

"Yes sir," Emily said then she left the room
