In 2019, in an exposé in the Los Angeles Tribunal, journalist Lori Hill reported that thirty-six professional assassins had operated out of California during the 1990s. The article was based on files given to her by an unnamed source and were used as the building blocks for her story.

During the better part of two years, Hill met with her secret informant and was able to piece together a tale of conspiracy, murder for hire, and human trafficking that spans the globe all the way to the highest of places.

This grim account was based solely on one small section of those findings and from a series of folders labeled The Akira Files.

In her article, Hill stated that twelve assassins had worked in the Los Angeles County alone, four of them women.

This is the story of one of those women—codename HER.
