☩ Templar's HQ

Taemin nodded, releasing a breath he didn't even know he had been holding. He followed the retreating woman with his eyes, and then stiffened as she turned around. He dodged the blade at him (just narrowly, mind you) shooting two arrows in quick succession. "Assassin." He hissed, feeling a surge of disgust welling up in his being; half at himself for not suspecting it, and half at the woman for being such a- Holding that thought, he crouched into a defensive position, barking sharp orders to the guards present to shoot to kill. His mind worked quickly as he thought of the most logical response to the present situation. He didn't have much faith in the guards actually killing the female assassin, but he could only hope that they could at least give her /some/ injury, no matter how slight. His eyes narrowed as he focused on her figure - and then he fired.

Sooyeon shoved the tape the inside pockets of her trench coat and fixed herself up. She gave a last glance towards the two dead Templars and scoffed at how easy this assassination was before swiftly turning and making her way towards the door. Unlocking it, she watched the door slide open and walked out. She quietly wondered if Taemin, the target, had been killed already. "Probably not, otherwise the Templars would have been running around, freaking out at the loss and trying to find the culprit." she thought as she continued walking. The epinephrine rush hadn't died down in the small, but deadly girl's body and it just fueled her excitement more and more. A small smirk remained on her face as she made her way to the Central Room, where she expected to find her fellow Assassin, and their target.

"I understand. Pleasure to meet you as well, I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again." Soojung nodded, turning away to fake her departure. If she managed, she could quickly lunge at him while slicing. As she turned away, her left hand grasped her lower right arm, a normal gesture, but the slightest pressure on her middle finger would unsheath her hidden blade. Tension was high for Soojung, if she didn't finish this quickly, more Templars would come. There was only so much a single person could take out there, prodigy or not. She could only hope Sooyeon was making her way to the Central Room to fight off any in oming reinforcements if needed. She was right at the door, and it would only take a press of a button. She didn't press the button.
Instead, she turned around, swiftly heading towards the target. Her middle fingertip hovered over her hidden blade's button as she threw a punch at his neck. As her fist neared, her hidden blade was unsheathed. It wasn't the best surprise — but it was the best option goven the current situation.

Muttering expletives that could make a sailor blush, Taemin's brow twitched as he thought of all the lovely things he could do to ensure that the receptionist never made such a blithe, foolhardy mistake ever again. "My most sincere apologies. Our receptionist is new, and is apparently lacking in intelligence." He offered a polite, tiny smile despite his condescending words; making no move to remove his hand from his weapon. "It's nothing personal, mind you, but it's not the most logical of things to send a newcomer to a room - or person - placed under high security. It defies the purpose of the protection in the first place. That being said, it was nice meeting you, Miss Krystal." A strange flicker entered his eyes at that moment, and he gestured for her to know that he wanted her to leave. Something wasn't sitting right with him. He was not quite sure of what it was exactly, but an uneasy feeling was creeping up his spine. He eyed his plate, contemplating on whether to eat or not. He decided not to. Call him paranoid, but he didn't think he should let his guard down just yet.

.
Soojung slightly arched her eyebrow as he dropped his fork, before nodding in understanding at his cautiousness. "I'm actually new to this HQ. Just stationed here. I was asking the receptionist as to where I should go, but she told me to give you your lunch first," Soojung spared a light chuckle at his words. It was true though, the receptionist had definitely brought over death to the male. After all, he and an Assassin were standing in an empty room, and another Assassin — an Assassin Mentor at that — most likely having turned off the cameras and heading over soon. Her eyes shifted to his bow, the male seemed ready to attack at any moment. Yet, she said nothing about the bow, only answering the question at hand. "Krystal." Wasn't much of a stretch. She made no move to whip out her hidden blade just yet. Maybe once he began to eat, and had taken his fingers off his bow. It was a fairly tight space, dodging an arrow would be fairly hard but it'd be about calculating his moves first before dodging.

Taemin spared a glance up as a platter of food was set before him. Inclining his head politely to the girl's slight bow, he picked up his fork - and then let it drop again. "I've never seen you before." His voice interjected smoothly over the once prevalent silence, and his chocolate eyes narrowed as he studied the female before him. The girl had the physical make-up of a Caucasian woman. Taemin had made it a point of learning everyone's faces, and he could not recollect her face no matter how hard he tried. Then an explanation dawned in his mind and he smacked his forehead in agitation, dragging his hand down the length of his cheek. "Oh God, the receptionist." He groaned, shaking his head in embarrassment. "That ditzy woman will be the death of me." Of course, he did not know how close his words were hitting to his impending fate. Collecting his composure, he returned his attention to the situation at hand. One of Taemin's strengths was his cunning, and whilst he did not particularly suspect the woman to be someone dangerous, he understood the importance of being cautious. She was a new person, one he knew absolutely nothing about. In other words, she could be anybody. "What's your name?" He queried mildly, hand once more resting on his bow.


(LOL YES.

THE JUNG SISTERS ARE TRYING TO KEEL ME ;; /sobs.)

.
Slipping on her leather gloves, she keyed in the password given to her. She'd strike when Taemin least expected. Looking at the male in front of her, she offered a small smile. Her hair was in a bun, with a beanie over it. Her eyebrows had been reshaped with the help of makeup, and her face made slimmer with contouring. Oh the power of makeup. Not only that, but she had dark gray colored contacts in comparison to her normally brown eyes. And lastly, skin tone lightened with well-blended foundation. All while maintaining a natural look. It wasn't news to know that Lee Taemin was a Templar prodigy, so in the worst case scenario that Taemin survived, she wouldn't be too recognizable. Setting the platter down in front of the male, Soojung bowed slightly. If he was a prodigy, he'd most likely be respected by other Templars. Her knife was ready to be unsheathed any time -- she was only waiting for the perfect opportunity.

(OH THE RAMBLING)

As the other Assassin girl talked with the lady at the counter, Sooyeon took the chance while they were distracted to sneak around and scan her ID quickly to get into the room which held the security cameras and all of the films. The sign of a camera above the room clearly signaled that this place was the home to the wondrous hi-tech cameras of the Templar HQ. Sooyeon's lips curved into a small smirk as the door slid open silently. Nobody seemed to be around, besides two males: one extremely bulky and the other the complete opposite. Deciding to take on the bulky male first in a stealthy assassination, she sneaked behind his chair and took a silent deep breath before quickly flipping her hidden blades out and slitting his throat in mere seconds, hindering him useless now. Before any another security guards could be called upon her by the other male she jabbed her elbow into his stomach to surprise him a little before enigmatically sliding her hidden blade through his chest, going through his sternum almost through his vertebral column. The smirk remained and a feeling of satisfaction overtook the female.

She wiped her blade off on their shirts, getting rid of any evidence of bloodshed on it, and sheathed it again. Taking out a handkerchief, Sooyeon dabbed her face lightly to get rid of any blood that had splattered onto it and any sweat. She made sure the door was closed and locked before turning off the monitors and taking out the tape with gloved fingers so her fingerprints were not left and she wasn't identifiable.

Looking back at the Assassin Mentor for the slightest moment, before turning straight forward once more. Going up to the main counter, Soojung processed her lie once again before speaking. "Hi, I'm new to this HQ, only recently stationed here. Is there anywhere I should report to?" The figure at the counter, without a doubt -- not even looking up, gave her directions before suddenly stopping her before she left.
"Mind running me a quick errand though?" Soojung tilted her head. The female brought out a platter of food. It didn't seem to be anything special. There's a room right where you're heading." The female still hadn't looked up. "It should be under high security but there is a rather long password." A sticky note was gingerly placed onto the spot in front of Soojung. "Just deliver the person in there the food." The female at the counter was definitely a rookie. Soojung however, deduced that the person the female was talking about happened to be her target. How lucky was she? Refraining from smirking, Soojung took the platter and the sticky note, shoving it into her pocket. Sparing another glance to Sooyeon, the younger Assassin continued to head to the room the female at the counter had spoken of with the platter in hand.

Sooyeon made her way through the infamous secret tunnel of the Templar's ready to attack any moment if needed, her hidden blade ready to be sheathed and herself eager to murder. Adrenaline rushed through her capillaries and the female wore large sunglasses to cover half of her face along with her hair up in a ponytail to disguise herself. She followed behind the familiar assassin figure, using her as a cover almost. Upon entering the Templar HQ, anxiety took over her but that wouldn't bring the Korean-America Assassin Mentor. She had a fake identity ready for herself from a Templar she had found hiding in their HQ and she wasn't going to let anything bring her down, nor come in her way of completing the mission at hand: Kill Lee Taemin.

Taemin uttered a bored sigh, propping his head up with one hand and trying his best to keep awake. He was a primary target for the Assassins, and hence was currently seated in the central room of headquarters and placed under tight security. If he were to be quite honest with himself, he was itching for some action. It was nice to be protected - but when you could defeat the people protecting you by yourself and gain little to no injuries, you don't really feel that safe. Also, he would be killing those blasted, bratty Assassins and entertaining himself in the process; in other words, it was a win-win situation. He sighed again, trailing his fingers almost lovingly against his bow. 'This will be interesting.' He thought to himself, a feral glint entering his eyes.

@♙ Lee Taemin .
Soojung, under disguise, entered the Templar's HQ. It was one day that she followed her more previous target through a certain tunnel. Upon noticing it was none other than the Templar's HQ, she quietly retreated, only to strike at her target when she had left. Her body was found at a safe distance from their HQ to avoid suspicion. It was then that a new mission was released to target a large threat, namely Lee Taemin. Not much information was released, other than the fact that he was to be eliminated. It was a mission for all assassins, and Soojung was the first to set out. To her knowledge, not many knew about the secret tunnel. Upon her arrival to the Templar's HQ, she began to scan for the target. She felt rather disgusted being in a place that teemed with a group of her own's sworn enemy. 'You belong here. You've been a Templar for a long time, and you were just stationed in this certain HQ.' Soojung chanted in her mind, like a mantra. Her hidden blade was well disguised under her thick winter wear and she was definitely prepared for any combat. The only problem was that in the worst case scenario, she'd be discovered and would have to flee. But as long as the Templars didn't know there was an Assassin in their building, she'd be fine. She had her whole lie shaped anyway.
