==Overview==
During Fox's childhood, her father was a district attorney. He was prosecuting a mob boss, however, the defendant wanted a softer judge. So they hired an assassin named Max Petridge to "pay him a visit." Doing so meant he broke in, tied up Fox and her father, and forced Fox watch while he burned her father alive. After which, he took a wire hanger and branded his initials into the right side of Fox's neck, so she would never forget. It is unknown how she got recruited into The Fraternity, but Fox later found out Petridge's name came up, weeks prior to the death of her father, and a Fraternity member failed to pull the trigger.
One day, she gets a mission to recruit Wesley Gibson. She tells him he was the son of the greatest assassin who ever lived and that the man who killed him was an assassin called Cross. Cross appears at the pharmacy, and he and Fox have a shootout. After a vicious car chase shootout with Cross, she takes Wesley to the Fraternity headquarters, where Sloan explains that Wesley is destined to join the Fraternity. Not believing, Wesley leaves.
Fox meets with Wesley outside of the office building and takes him to the Chicago Fraternity's headquarters. After weeks of training, Wesley goes back to his old apartment to pick up his father's Flyswatter Beretta 92. He finds his best friend there and breaks the door open, knocking him down, and is screamed at by his girlfriend. Fox hears her yelling at him, thinks for a second, smiles and enters the apartment, just as Wesley is exiting. His girlfriend demands who she is, but Fox ignores her and kisses him, although it's unknown if she did this to reveal that she loves him, or just to screw up with his girlfriend. Whatever the reason, they left the apartment with his girlfriend shocked and his friend amused, saying that Wesley is "the man." They then come out of the building where she tells him to stay while she goes to steal a car for them. Wesley notices that Cross is across the street and pursues him. Thinking it is Cross, Wesley mistakenly kills The Russian, a fellow Fraternity member. Wesley is then shot by Cross in the shoulder. Wesley is taken to the recovery room at the Fraternity and the Russian dies, while Fox tries to save his life with CPR.
Wesley traces the bullet Cross shot him with to an ammunition manufacturer named Pewarsky. Fox is then given her next assignment: Wesley. She goes with Wesley and captures the maker of the bullet and forces him to lure Cross to a meeting at the local train station. Pewarsky flees. Wesley realizes Cross in on the train. Wesley pursues Cross, but Fox follows the train, gaining entrance by crashing the car into the side of the train. Wesley and Cross have a shootout, but the train falls off its tracks atop a canyon, and Cross saves Wesley from falling. Wesley shoots him regardless, and his last words, Cross tells him that Wesley is his son. Fox explains to him why the Fraternity lied about Wesley's father, telling him Wesley is the only one Cross wouldn't kill. She also reveals that Cross's name came up, as did Wesley's, but just when she is about to fulfill the kill order for Wesley, Wesley shoots the glass, falling into the river below with his father's corpse.
She then retreats to the Fraternity. Later she meets Wesley in the library with the other assassins while he tries to destroy the Fraternity, and Wesley tells them the truth about Sloan. Sloan's name come up, and Sloan couldn't take it, so he began manufacturing his own targets, for his personal gain. Wesley's father found out about this and Sloan betrayed him when Cross put a gun to his head. Sloan convinced the Fraternity that Cross had gone rogue. Fox fires a gun out of Wesley's hand, just as he was about to finish Sloan off, and asks if it's true and Sloan reveals to Fox and to the other assassins that the names of everyone in the Chicago Fraternity had come up. He hid them as well, saving their lives. He opts for them to either follow the code by sticking their gun in their mouths and killing themselves ot shoot Wesley and follow him to take their Fraternity to new heights. While the other assassins prepare to kill Wesley, Fox curves a bullet with "GOODBYE" engraved on it and kills all the assassins in the room except for Sloan, who escapes. She tosses her gun to Wesley as the bullet comes full circle and kills her too, showing that she had stayed true to the code.
