Red Lips and Guns (Part 2)

Here is part two of Red Lips and Guns, I hope you enjoy it!

Nathan led her up to the steps of her apartment and handed her the keys. "Your apartment is on floor 13 it is a penthouse."
"Thank you," replied Natasha. She had never lived in such an expensive apartment before, she hadn't even been in one. She wondered how Nathan had acquired the money to pay for such a place, but she decided it was best not to ask.
"I had a great time tonight," Nathan, leaned in and kissed Natasha on the forehead. Nathan turned to walk away when Natasha turned him back and kissed him passionately on the lips. When they separated she said, "Goodnight Nathan," turned and headed into the apartment building.
"Goodnight Natasha," replied Nathan who stood for a moment frozen from shock. The fighter he had found to train he had fallen for. Nathan wondered what the boss would think of him falling for Natasha. He figured he wouldn't worry about that. He placed his hands in his pocket and headed down the street. He thought back to when he first met Natasha.

It was a nice spring day back in March when he met her. He was walking through the park and he was caught by her countenance. The thing that caught his eye the most about her was her bold choice of red lipstick with her black military style coat. There was something about her that he liked at first sight, her dark hair, her brown eyes, were just as beautiful. She had a nice personality. The only thing was then she was named Renee Jackson. He stood and watched her for a moment, then he walked towards her. "Hello beautiful." He said.
"Hello," said Renee cautiously, staring into Nathan's eyes. "Who are you?"
"The name is Nathan and you are?"
"Renee, pleasure to meet you," said Renee holding out her hand.
"No, the pleasure is all mine." Smiled Nathan as he took Renee's hand and kissed it.
"Aren't you a gentleman?" asked Renee.
"You could say that." Smiled Nathan. There was something about those red lips, about her he liked. He just could not figure out why.

It was soon after that, Seamus said they needed to fill an opening in their league. Nathan knew just the girl and that was Renee.
"I have someone who might work, I can keep an eye on her and see if she has the skill set," stated Nathan. It was an excuse to keep an eye on Renee and spend more time with her.
"Who is this?" inquired Seamus
"Her name is Renee," replied Nathan
"Do you think she will be a good fit?" inquired Seamus
"The red lip stick says she will be," replied Nathan.
"I'll let you follow her, and I will consider her, but I make no promises," stated Seamus.
"Thank you," replied Nathan with a smile.
"One last thing, you like this girl don't you?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"I have known you for a long time Nathan, of course I know," replied Seamus with a crooked smile.
Nathan left the room, smiling.


Nathan spent more and more time with Renee. He learned that she was a trained martial artist. She had an interest in knives and weaponry. She also knew quite a bit about guns. He also came across the fact that she owned a silenced Barretta, which she carried on her person where ever she went. Renee worked at a mediocare job, so Nathan wondered how she managed to acquire such a gun. He never questioned it though, and she never explained.
Thoughout the course of a week, Nathan got to know Renee. He learned she had the makings to be an "assassin". The only problem was, would Seamus go for it? Nathan did not know, but times were changing, they needed a woman on the squad, and she was just the girl to do it.

Two days later Nathan told Renee about the squad. She seemed shocked at first, she almost thought that Nathan was kidding her, but then she realized he wasn't.
"You're serious?" asked Renee.
"Yes I am," replied Nathan firmly.
"And you want me to join?" asked Renee.
"Yes, I think you would be good at it, that is of course if the boss is okay with it too," stated Nathan.
"I don't know.." stated Renee. "What all is involved?"
"Well you have to change your name, your identity, everything. You have to go off the radar," replied Nathan.
"So your name wasn't Nathan before you joined this squad?" Asked Renee.
"No, but I cannot disclose much more information with you," replied Nathan with a smile, "That is for you to learn as you go."

The next two days, Renee planned her death, and strove to become someone entirely new. This new person was known as Natasha Black. She hardly changed her appearance. There was no reason too. She had no family left that she was close with and she was a very quiet and too herself that no one really noticed. Her death was easily faked as a freak accident, and the funeral was the next day. Attended by Nathan, and a few others in her old apartment building. Natasha did not attend her funeral out of fear that she might be recognized. The proceedings went well well and everyone believed that the fake corpse was the real Renee.

Nathan smiled at these memories he had already made with Natasha as he reached his apartment building, a few blocks from Natasha's.
