Entity

In the gym on the campus of the University of Wisconsin, a woman large muscular woman was bench pressing 120 Ibs. She was finishing her last rep in a 12 rep set. She put the bar back on the handles before removing the weights and putting them back on the rack.

"Impressive." An unknown voice told her.

Quickly turning towards the voice, the college student saw a woman in a suit standing next to the exit. "Um... thanks." She said unsure.

"Don't stop on my account." The suited woman said.

"I'm about done." The college student said uncomfortably.

"Don't you normally do a couple sets of preacher curls then a couple set with the shoulder press machine, then work your triceps, and finally use the dumbbells for your cooldowns."

Going stiff, the college student stood at her full 6'4 height and stood 10 inches above the strange woman. She was about to confront her but the stranger spoke. "Didn't mean to alarm you ___________, but you have my interest for quite some time."

"That's not helping."

"Right sorry, what I mean to say is the I represent an entity of individuals who hope to make a difference in this world."

"I always considered working for a nonprofit."

"The entity I work for is not a nonprofit, in fact it technically does not exist."

Raising an eyebrow. "What? Like some secret government taskforce."

"The entity, is not associated with any government, or government agency."

"Okay, alarm bells are ringing right now."

The stranger smiled. "That's one reason we wish to recruit you."

After a moment of awkward silence, the stranger continued. "You can call me handler, I look for those with the skills, instincts, and motivation in liquidating those that society can't handle."

"And when you mean liquidate, you mean..."

"Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking."

"Okay!" the student said in offense. "If I were to take your word on all this, which I don't, what makes you think that I have the ability to kill people."

Shaking her head, Handler decided o speak. "You have been taking martial arts since you were 8, you took pretty much everything from karate, tai kwan do, to even krav maga."

"For self-defense."

"Then why did you try to join the marines?"

This gave the college student pause. Seeing that her background was investigated extensively. Looking at handler, she saw her with an eyebrow raised waiting for a response.

"I wanted to help people, even if I would not be recognized for it."

Handler smiled slightly. "If you choose to work for the entity, you help others, but no one will give you credit, and it will require great sacrifice."

"What will I have to sacrifice?"

"Everything but your life." Handler told her. "You will give up your identity, and those who knew you will believe that you are dead."

"Everyone that knew me?"

"Correct." Handler answered. "Not right now, think it over the next couple of days and I will find you."

Handler moved to exit the gym but turned around towards the student. "Think carefully."

The student watched handler leave the gym leaving her alone.
