A large estate. A ballroom to fit hundreds. Beautiful chandeliers. Expensive dishes. Ladies in gorgeous gowns. Men in the finest suits.
Mao looked around at it all, trying to keep his eyes from growing wide, trying not seem out of place. His newest mission had led him to the upper class of the city and now here he stood in the middle of an Aristocratic Ball.
One was held every other week, always in a different location. So one could imagine the trouble he'd gone through just to arrive here tonight. He glanced around the ballroom once more, glad that his client had forked up the money for him to buy his suit and be able to fit in to the party with ease.
No sign of the target, he thought to himself, though he didn't give up hope. She would be here. It was just a matter of waiting now.
