《Gun To My Head, Stake To My Heart》8

"Any new updates?" Matt asked through my computer screen.
"No. Sorry, sir." Matt waved off my apology. "Everything is squeaky clean, almost too clean. Except for some scientists using their gloves to touch their phones, nothing is out of the ordinary." I frustratingly said. "That's why I'm crossing out the small guys. If anything illegal is happening then it's at the top. The executives would have to be behind it."
"And how's Lara?" He hissed at her name. He really hated her for some unknown reason. Not sure what she did to him besides being a womanizer.
"She's not hiding anything from me. Legit, nothing. She openly discusses new formulations that should be confidential. She spares no secrets in my presence. She's like an open book." Matt sighed. "But, I don't trust her." That got his attention. "She's insanely smart and cunning. I know she's hiding stuff. She just wants to make herself appear innocent by making everything about the company seem transparent. She wants me to lower my guard around her."
"Then, maybe give her what she wants." I raised my brow at Matt. "Make her think that you gave up your search and are just going through the motions of your job. Let her think she won."
"She'll see that from a mile away, Matt." I sighed. "Like I said, she's incredibly smart. That move won't phase her." I breathed out. "She's the toughest target I've ever had!" I complained.
"Maybe you should give in to her." I stared at my boss in utter confusion. "Look, I know you have never had to resort to sleeping with a client, but we really need this." I sighed.
It was true. I'm supposed to be the best of the best. The best agent the CIA has. I've ALWAYS completed my missions, without having to sleep with my targets. It's something I've prided myself on and have received respect from my colleagues. They all wanted to know how I used my persuasion to acquire everything I needed without having to sell my body.

"It's not something I'm opposed to doing, but she seems to be the type that wouldn't allow seduction to mess with her head. She'd be able to see straight through me." Matt nodded at my words.
"Break her." I raised a brow at him. "Make her fall for you and then extract the information." I furrowed my brows at him. Could I really do that? "I know you can do it. You've got this, Amelia." He warmly smiled.
I forced a smile back before shutting my computer. I let out a deep sigh as I flopped onto my back. How was I gonna go about this? It's not like she's a regular girl you can just woo. She's literally a billionaire and probably has a harem of girls waiting for her.
I can't believe I'm about to prostitute myself out. I rolled onto my stomach and grabbed my phone. I scrolled through my contacts until I landed on her name.
I got Lara's number when we went out to lunch one day. She had taken my phone and added her number in it. She claimed it was smart for her babysitter to have her on speed dial. I remember glaring at her smirking face.
I smiled as I recalled that memory. She had ordered a Long Island ice tea while I ate a sandwich. She really didn't eat while I really did eat. I couldn't help that I was hungry that day!
My fingers typed something, only for me to delete it a second later. Why am I overthinking this? Ugh! I quickly typed a response and sent it.
Still up for those drinks?

Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer (based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times. (Modified because the real setting was a catastrophe. There will be no exploding moons or beating the God Of Indulgence because they overindulged, and no Slaans fucking off to space. People shall use their brains and not just "lol cuz I can" bs like Todbringer thinking the end of the fucking world was the best time to go persue you interracial Yaoi rivalry with a Beastlord). So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ Sequel found here. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26444/rehammer-the-hammering
8 189The Forgotten One
Hey there everbody. This will be my second upload to Roll 20. Unfortunately I wasn't able to continue my previous one due to life and what not but I'm now back and have a some what new idea I've been kicking around for years. We'll see if i head back to my other fiction due to having things calming down. And like always I'm open to constructive critisims. Any way on to the synopsis. The world as we know it is gone. Torn from everyone due to two major things. First and foremost a biologica lweapon that no one wanted to take credit for after it was released and couldn't be stopped (a zombie virus of sorts) and the way that many nations thought to stop it from spreading was to destory everything they could ofcourse that didn't include them selves. So there the world was in a mexican standoff with hundreds of countries with hundreds of nuclear weapons just dareing one another to make the first move. Once again no one knew who started it but it didn't matter once it started the world was doomed. In an attempt to save people some scientists began working on a way to cryogenically frezze people so they could surive the on coming armegedon. The problem was before they could begin testing it on humnas the nukes began launching. In a bid to save them selves a family gave their youngest son to the scientists as a test subject. He had already been infected by the virus weeks before the nukes were being threatened and still retained his humanitiy. After being betrayed by his family after telling them of his ability to stay him self and a few things the bio weapon had changed in him physically he was sedated with enough drugs to kill a whole pride of elephants and forced to take part in the experiment. The last thing he remembers was watching his world close around him (his cryo pod) and his family's face of sadness but also hope in the fact that them betraying him may give them a chance to live. This is a fan fiction in which many aspects of one of my favorite games will be quiet prevelent. It will be obvious to those who have played it but for those who may not the game i'm going to be baseing some of the things in this novel is called Prototype. And no I do not own the rights to the cover. If the creater would like for me to pull it down please messege me.
