My name is Lillie. I am Samurai. I am not afraid of anyone. However I feel like a character in an old Mission Impossible scene. Assignment Osaka Japan: Survive a plane crash, broken ribs, concussion, dislocated shoulder. Get rescued by my biological father I never knew. Find out who killed my mother and why. Escape paid Assassins out to kill me. Destination: Return to United States.It was three a.m. and no moon in sight. I climbed the last few feet to the top of the building, swinging myself up and over the ledge to get a view.
I dropped to the floor and lay flat, melding to the roof as the dark figures quickly approached, climbing the same wall I just climbed, they ran past me. They jumped into a waiting jeep and continued down the road. I could have taken them out. It was a split decision to let them past.
They had no idea what I could have done to them. To give my position away at this point would prove foolish.
I was exhausted. My cracked ribs cried out in despair at the torture I was putting them through. There was no time for rest. I had to keep moving. I ran along the side of the road in the dark leaving the mountains behind me.
