Agnes woke up the next morning at 7am sharp, went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. She then went into her closet and chose a short-sleeve cropped sweater, a black maxi-skirt and black swede knee length boots to match. She styled her hair into space buns, sprayed some perfume and grabbed her bag and atm card.
When she checked the time, it was already 7:30 and she decided to check whether Danny was awake and to her surprise he was, and dressed in the same god-awful yellow hoodie and blue jeans which looked more like rags at this point.
"Why are you wearing those god-awful clothes" she asked
"They're not awful" he said as he tugged on his hoodie
"You have no sense of style"
"They're the only clothes I own"
"Really?" Agnes seemed to think for a while before saying
"Follow me"
Danny quickly followed her and she led him out of the apartment and into the apartment's parking lot. Danny gasped in surprise when he saw her car.
"YOU OWN A BMW!?"
"Hush, not so loud besides why do you sound surprised?"
"I didn't know you were this rich"
Of course she was rich her job paid well, and even more so for the bigger targets. Not that she was going to tell him what her job was.
"Enough chattering, get in" she said as she entered the driver's seat and put on her seatbelt. Danny entered the back seat.
"Where are we going?" Danny asked
"Shopping" Agnes replied as she drove out the parking lot.
As they were driving Danny's tummy suddenly rumbled.
"Looks like someone's hungry" She chuckled.
"Only a little bit" Danny grew flustered and Agnes pulled up in front of a restaurant.
They entered and sat down at a corner when a waiter walked up to them.
"What would you like to order?"
Agnes ordered patatas bravas for Danny and a Caesar salad for herself.
NOTE: Patatas Bravas is a Spanish delicacy of fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce or aioli.
When they were done Agnes paid and they left.
Agnes drove and they arrived at a clothing store which they entered and headed to the children section. There Agnes grabbed some clothes off some racks and gave them to Danny who went into one of the dressing rooms to test them out.
She purchased the clothes and they checked out and went out into the parking lot where her car was packed. Danny took the front seat this time and as she was pulling out of the parking lot Agnes noticed a grey rundown car following her. At first she shook it off as a mere coincidence but she took a turn and the car followed her, this confirmed her fear that she was being followed.
Agnes turned at a deserted street that led to a dead end then turned off her engine. The car following her stopped behind hers and a man came out and walked toward them holding a shiny object.
"DUCK!" Agnes yelled as she pulled Danny's head below the dash board as the man started shooting at them. She quickly grabbed the tranquilizer gun which she kept under the driver's seat incase of emergency.
"stay here and remain hidden" She said to Danny as she slowly opened her car door and moved in the direction of the shooter, ducking so as to avoid the rain of bullets. The brightness of the headlights behind him made it hard to define his face so Agnes could not figure out who he was.
Luckily, Agnes was a well trained hitman so she quickly aimed and shot at the man's neck. He fell face down with a heavy thud before he could do more damage. Agnes breathe a sigh of relief and went to check on Danny who was still crouched under the dashboard.
"Danny you can come out now" Danny came from where he was crouched and adjusted his new clothes gotten for him by Agnes. He didn't seem bothered by the shooting as expected from a kid living in the rough side of town for almost two years.
"Are you okay?" Agnes to which Danny replied he was.
Agnes tied the man lying on the ground with the rope she always kept in the trunk of her car and dragged him to the back seat of her BMW, got in the driver's seat and locked the doors. Danny seemed to understand the situation and kept quiet which Agnes was grateful for. She wasn't ready to answer any questions as her mood was ruined by the appearance of this unknown assailant.
As they drove home Agnes was determined to find answers to 'why she had been attacked' an 'who was the culprit behind it'.
