Kai eventually headed to bed, falling asleep rather quickly.

Kai woke the next morning, a text of his next target lighting up his phone. He sighed, thinking about the girl once more and musing about why he had lied to his team about killing her... Doesn't matter. They think she's out of the picture, and that's all that matters. For the next week, he went after different targets but the girl never left his mind. I need to stop calling her just 'that girl' and by her name. Jade.... What would a girl like her have done to get the death sentence....and by me? His mind raced as he returned home after another long, tiring day. That night, he dreamt about the girl's words to him. Simple, yet stirring something he didn't want to say or even think about for as long as he lived. The devil and angel on his shoulders told him to stop thinking about her but the other told him to give in to the feelings, express them. No, shut up, oth of you! His mind yelled at them as he sighed. But how would I contact her? He wondered, not able to talk to his team about it due to the fact that they thought she was dead....
