Layla’s Story: Whatever it Takes

Rick Goldman and Karen Puntch

Layla Jones believed in only three words: Whatever it takes. Those words were ‎drummed into her head from the time of her first memory. There was no other cause but ‎the mission. She was trained to never love anyone. Layla was taught martial arts, the ‎discipline of rank, and to never question orders. ‎
Layla was always the best. In school she was a straight A student. In sports she was ‎better than the boys. Her parents had her join the Theater Guild in grade school and ‎college. She learned how to act and most importantly, learned to be a chameleon.‎
In her younger years, Layla was sent to a special summer camp. She was indoctrinated ‎with various skills such as hunter, collector of information and the skills of espionage. A ‎loyalty test was given at the end of the year. Each of the participants was given a gun ‎and was told to hold it to their head and pull the trigger. On the count of three all the ‎campers pulled the trigger. Several of the guns went off. Layla and a few others were ‎spared. Only the best, they were told, graduated. Those who died were sacrificed for the ‎good of the rest.‎
Layla had a purpose. Her mother would handle her, and she would do whatever it takes.‎
