Summary
Six of Hearts reunites with an old ancients friend and former flame who needs her assistance with an assassination mission for an Archconservatives supporter that had previously wronged the ancients.
Background
See Who Can Say No To This Face, Part 5 for context. Six of Hearts and Tessen agreed to meet up at a section in northern Puyallup to discuss the arrangement of their "date" as suggested by Six. Tessen plans to use this to her advantage as to make Six help her out with an assassination mission to take out a wealthy financial supporter of the archconservatives.
The Meet
Waking up in the midst of the night, Six of Hearts was on impromptu self imposed guard duty for the infected warehouse as she awaited the right time to meet up with Tessen and discuss what would happen. Whilst on said guard duty, a brief chat with Silverjaw revealed his distain and slight hatred directed towards the ancients and all their members given his ork heritage and what they had done to his family. Despite Six's best efforts, said hatred remained and through a bit of awkward silence eventually she left to go meet up with Tessen. Once arriving despite having nearly all of her scanners active, Tessen was still able to sneak up on her and state the overall goal. To assassinate a wealthy supporter of the archconservatives who had also had hands in the murders of several ancients members.
The Plan
The target in question was in charge of a construction zone that Saeder Krupp ordered to be under construction. In the early mornings he himself would investigate the place personally with only 4 elite trained security guards up to par and slightly exceeding average soldiers and a force 8 guardian spirit that Tessen would have to deal with. Now with a plan in mind and agreeing to it Six offered to allow Tessen to stay the night and eat at her place in Bellevue. Despite reluctance Tessen agreed and headed over. Upon arriving at her place the two attempted to talk and discuss all that had happened. While seemingly going well for a while with Tessen enjoying Six's cooking, eventually Tessen wished to leave before Six stopped her stating to hear her out. Tessen reluctantly agreeing. Six explained that she truly didn't know why she never came back, despite her desire to. With not much else to say other than that Tessen slapped her with nearly full force before storming out. Leaving Six to cry alone amidst the night of Seattle.
The Run
Meeting up at the abandoned construction yard, the two with tension in the air went towards their separate posts and awaited their target. Six up on the roof with Tessen not too far behind the targets main line of escape. Eventually true to form their target showed up with his typical escorts and the spirit. Despite Six's clear shot and good aim. The target miraculously was able to dodge as the security team was put on high alert with Six rushing in to deal with the spirit. Through miraculous dodging and two gaurds doing their best to protect the target with their life.
Aftermath
Eventually the whole squad was brought down and Tessen's target was assassinated. With KE surely on their way as well as corporate security. The two quickly headed towards the sewers to hide and lay low while the heat passed. Despite a close call with a seemingly rigger piloted drone. The pair managed to escape. BEfore leaving Tessen was able to talk to Six. Stating that she would be willing to continue talking more in the future despite the past behind them. With slight degrees of hope lingering in the air. The two separated, now simply awaiting the battle that had yet to come.

Well... that whole thing certainly played out different in my mind... well... dinner did, anyway. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't to get slapped. Granted, I deserved it... shit, I deserve far more than that for what I did to her. But at least the healing process can start... and that's all I really want.
The run itself went fine. I expected more from the opposition, but Tessen took that spirit down with no issue, and the guards stood no chance without its magical support. All in all, clean and smooth.
