"Omitted Names"

Random story idea I had earlier today:

The plastic box felt cool in his hands, condensation pooling beneath his fingers. The room was stuffy, more so than usual. He was nervous, which was completely abnormal.
He set the box on the metal table and glanced around. The furnishings seemed to change minutely every time he entered the room. Dane collected odd pieces: a painting of a deep, violent red sunset hung behind a three foot tall statue of a ballerina. Chinese vases stood beside a broken skull and half-melted wax candles. A dainty porcelain figurine sat on the science lab-like table, a reminder of the French Revolution era.
The gigantic mahogany door swung open silently. Dane stepped in looking as unlike an assassin agency boss. The petite brunette was dressed in a long flowing black dress that followed her curves. Her heels clicked against the marble parquet floor hurriedly. Marietta Dane threw down a manila folder, her brow creased with disappointment.
"You have been keeping something from me, haven't you?" She crossed her arms over her chest and turned a slightly sad gaze at him.
"Don't look at me like that, Dane." He said and reached for the folder. Her hand stopped him and she moved to stand behind the table.
"Not yet. Is there any information you would like to share with me, Nathaniel? Oh, I meant to say Reid. How silly of me."
His face grew pale. She knew.
"I have known since you were hired, Reid Avery. You don't honestly believe you could have hidden this from me, do you?" She leaned her muscular arms on the table, one hand still on the folder.
"Just give me my assignment, Marietta." He sneered out her first name and adjusted his tie when he caught the icy glare she shot at him.
"Take it."
She lifted a hand and took a step back, running a hand through her long loose hair.
Avery flipped open the folder, eager for his next target. His jaw dropped. "You can't be serious."
"Oh, believe me. I am." Dane's voice was firm, no room for argument.
