It was a stormy night. The wind was howling loudly and the rain was pouring. Someone was knocking on the door. I walked towards the door and opened it. In front of me was a man, a tall man and his face was a bit scary. Then, I looked closer. No, that was not just a man, he was my target, my assassination target! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I was a spy, a secret spy. My duty was to kill the person that my boss told me. That\u2019s why someone will call us an assassin, agent or killer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until now, I couldn\u2019t forget that night. It was a Christmas Eve. Everyone was very excited, celebrating Christmas, except me. I was preparing the tools to kill my target. The man appeared at the door shocked me, but because I was a professional spy, I calmed down quickly. Of course, I knew this wasn\u2019t an easy mission, because my target was the best spy in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He asked, \u201cMay I come in?\u201d Before I could say a word, he walked into my apartment and asked me, \u201cWere you shocked just now, couldn\u2019t believe your target would come to visit you, ha?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d I exclaimed. \u201cOh sorry! I just wanna see the spy that is going to kill me.\u201d He replied. After a good pause of 2 minutes, he said, \u201cListen to me, you\u2019ll regret if you kill me. I\u2019m sure you will regret forever!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo this is the reason you came to visit me? That\u2019s ridiculous! Do you think that I\u2019ll really regret? Just shut your mouth up and let me kill you. Then, my mission is done.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, so the mission looks that easy in your mind? Let\u2019s see.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of a sudden, he left my hidden place without a goodbye. But actually, he left me a letter. I opened this mysterious letter, it said, \u201cSpy X, I want to tell you, this mission is not as easy as you think. If you think when you kill me and your mission will be done, then I could just tell you that you are too naive.\u201d I didn\u2019t understand! What did he mean? I looked at his information that my boss gave me. It said my target was the best spy in the world, but his mission failed, and he knew too many things, so I needed to kill him. But why did the best spy\u2019s mission fail? He was the best spy! How would he fail? Was there a secret? With many different and complicated questions, I left my hidden place with a gun and a tracker and was ready to kill the target. Actually, things weren\u2019t that complicated now. I secretly left a tracker on my target\u2019s clothes when he came. My tracker showed that I just needed to walk a few steps more and I could reach the target. I walked carefully and quietly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBang!\u201d Someone hit me, it hurt a lot. Before I could see who it was, I fell down and fainted. When I woke up, my head was aching heavily. I slowly opened my eyes and saw many eyes staring at me. No, they were not adults, they were a group of small children. I was astonished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere am I?\u201d I asked loudly. I saw my target , smiling and walking towards me, which made me a bit scared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a place to hide the orphans.\u201d He continued, \u201cHalf a year ago, I received a mission– to kill all these orphans of my boss\u2019 enemy. But when I arrived here, I was totally overwhelmed by these children\u2019s smile. I just could not kill them and this was the reason why my mission failed.\u201d He handed me a gun, \u201cYou can kill me now, then your mission will be completed, but please promise me, don\u2019t try to hurt these orphans as they\u2019re very poor already. Even though it is Christmas Eve, they don\u2019t have enough food to eat. Remember to take care of them for me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I raised my arm, and pointed it at my target. \u201cBang!\u201d I shot my gun. I was angry and afraid. But I didn\u2019t want to kill this spy anymore. I shot at the sky. My mission failed, yet I didn\u2019t regret or feel sad. I started looking at the children. I was totally touched by the simple and naive smile from the children. I finally understood the feeling of my target, which was very difficult to explain. The children were so lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I called my boss, my \u201csecond father\u201d, noticing him my mission failed. After a silent moment, my boss started laughing \u2026 or crying? He spoke, \u201cHey X, I know you well. I\u2019ve started taking care of you since you were two. You were an orphan too! I was also impressed by your lovely face, and now\u2026 You should run away, run as far as possible. My boss will send people to kill you very soon. X, I wish you have a joyful and meaningful life without regrets. And Merry Christmas, X. Goodbye.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought he cried too. I finally understood that justice is very important. If we don\u2019t uphold justice, our conscience will blame us. \u201cSo, X, where do you want to go?\u201d My target asked. \u201cAnywhere you want.\u201d I replied with a smile. \u201cThen,\u201d my target said,\u201d we will set off now!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From then on, I went to all the countries I had never been before. Although it was tiring and tough, I thought it was worth it. I had never changed my idea and blamed myself for rescuing these children. I did not change my mind in the past and I wouldn\u2019t forever! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
