LoneWolf Narrate:
Concentrate, concentrate, what I feel I have felt before, think about the best way, think, focus on that feeling and separate it from everyone else, it's not an assault, it's not an explosive, nor a missile and not a surprise party... A SNIPER! I quickly look at the windows, and a flash on the roof across the street just behind Salvatore, I yell at them to get down on the floor, while DireWolf without hesitating a second throws himself on Hermit to cover him, Minerva quickly throws himself to the floor but Salvatore and Donovan don't get it and look at me confused, shit no time. I have to move faster, faster, I run at full speed to get Salvatore away from the window, about to reach him a flash of fire appeared and a powerful clangor followed, without a doubt the high-caliber shot is underway and in less in a blink the window glass cracks into thousands of pieces, I collide with him but I only managed to move him a little before the bullet hit his back and came out just as fast through his chest spilling his blood on the floor, my ears were plugged and I was hearing a beep, we both fell to the ground.
Salvatore wanted to scream but choked on his blood, he wanted to run but couldn't get to his feet, tears flooded his eyes, fear seized him, the fear of dying... But what he didn't realize was we don't leave him to die here.
- CHANGE OF PLANS! MISSION GRADE 10, Minerva with Salvatore, DireWolf with me, Donovan... Donovan attends dammit.
- uh-Yeah...- Donovan tries to get earth but seems nervous.
- You have to protect them, do you understand? wake up!.- I shouted to Donovan.- DireWolf help me jump to the roof, I will not let them escape!.
Without wasting a second DireWolf ran and positioned himself with his back to the street on the balcony, placing his hands together in a volleyball position preparing to throw me with all his might, and without a doubt, I ran towards him.
Donovan Narrates:
- what the hell!?.- It took a few seconds to assimilate everything and they were about to do another madness.
At the moment DireWolf pushes his hands I hear LoneWolf say something quickly but I can't understand him.
- Apò-mêchanés-theòs.- he whispered and jump.
They are crazy there is no way that a human can jump such a distance but he did it!
Narrates Hermit.
I had immersed myself in the virtual space, it wasn't my first time in this place, each owner of his server can configure it as he wanted, being an administrator Salvatore made his piece of heaven a luxury mansion, based on Mexican architecture, its predominant colors are white and creamy yellow, all their AI staff are in provocative outfits both men and women and there is a lot of spam selling drugs of all kinds and caliber in addition to listening to characteristic music of the country. I would like to fool around with orders and requests, but there is work to be done so I did not waste time, I activated a program that allows me to move faster around the place and went straight to the library, hehehe the first time I had a hard time finding the place where the host is processing all the files and data because it would never occur to me that these gangsters put their host in a library or even configuring one. Once there I started hacking the system, nothing special, the security is quite standard and the firewalls aren't much of a thing.
I had two specific places to look for clues, one was the most direct, which was to follow the sender's mail since it had taken his IP address and with that he triangulated his physical address after removing his anti-tracking and encryption programs, and the second was to verify the money transactions for the attempted murder of Sarah and her daughter, finding the issuer of the money but that was much more complicated bank security isn't a joke and I found myself in a mess, the money had passed through many different accounts and it would take me days to find its origin apart from the fact that if I prolong my stay by sticking my nose where they don't call me it would be discovered and I'd run the risk of having my brain fried.
For better or worse I had managed to locate the culprit but the address is close to where the Fixer lives in other words, the area of the mega-corporation Overheat Macrotech. Nothing is easy in this life hahaha LoneWolf is going to love it.
When I leave the mansion I was taken by a huge surprise, it seemed that they had put together a good one and without me, that is not done. : '(
LoneWolf narrates:
The commotion was over, how I hate these things happening. We move to another room to put Salvatore in a more comfortable place while he regains consciousness, his people watch us closely even though I have already spoken with them and explained what happened, they don't give a fuck, and I can't blame them, there are no people in this world who will miraculously save your ass and we are also strangers for the lower ranks.
- Have your mans taken care of the murderers?.- I asked without hesitation one of the orcs who was giving orders for the device in his ear.
- Yes sir, we have put them to sleep but we didn't let them so easy, you understand me.
- Well and the bodies of the other two on the roof opposite?
- were there more? Okay, we'll take care of the cleaning.
- I count on you.
- Yes sir.- He says and leaves.
Everyone was resting but it was Minerva the most exhausted, she had used various physical barriers together with her spirit guide and now she was lying along with the sofa while using one of my legs as a pillow, lovingly caressing her from time to time on the other hand DireWolf and Donovan chatted animatedly over a few beers and told me how they had eliminated those two with practically no weapons, hehe it takes a mortal experience to strengthen ties and I would dare to say that Direwolf already sees him as his younger brother.
Donovan from time to time looked at me wanting to ask a hundred and one things but quickly regretted it. I don't know what must be going through his mind but it wasn't the best way to pass the first job, I feel terrible that he had to risk his life.
Of course, things are still underway and I already know the bad news, I would rather that my job was to rescue kittens from the trees. We devised together with Hermit a plan to make believe that the assassins' work had been a success, we took some photos of the destroyed office along with some Salvatore "dead body" among them with a few touches of his blood, and since the photos had no additions for any professional were simply true and realistic. Using the Linkers of the murderers we sent that pantomime to the contractor, it didn't take long for him to transfer the rest of the money to our account and officially Salvatore is "dead" and we have taken extra money, one well I can't believe it.
- ugg hey stop bossing my men like they were yours.
- the sleeping beauty woke up!? - Rex joked.
- oh yeah I'm not dead? Ouch! That hurt!.- he jumps off the couch in surprise but Rex kicks his ass and the orc there looks bad at him.
- You see you're alive, well now we're going at last. Your men are loyal and efficient, I grant them that.
- They didn't want to let us out if you didn't wake up and LoneWolf didn't want to destroy your little soldiers.- DireWolf replied reluctantly.
- thank you. I understand you didn't have to save me...
- no problem.- I interrupt him.- there doesn't need a reason to save you.- I place Minerva gently on a cushion and walk over to Salvatore and rest my hand on his shoulder.- You have fulfilled the role that I have given you, I have seen that you have done even more than what I had entrusted to you, you have become someone important to me and you are the living image of the correctness of giving a second chance. The way I see it, you've earned it, just don't betray my philosophy and you'll have me there to save your ass when you need it.- I smile satisfied.
- I-I don't know what to say. I owe you my life. I mean owe it to you. Fuck everything! We are going to celebrate that I am alive and those bastards dead and I hope the sucker who is behind all this shit pays too!
- That's the spirit! Maybe at another time, we will join in, for now, my people are exhausted and I need to kill a bastard so we will go to rest. This month you don't have to pay me the fee instead of that repairing your office. See you.
- oh okay you are the best, mmmm what do you think if we have fun this weekend? I will reserve the best of the best of my brothel, what do you think?
- it's a date?
- yes... Not Of course not! I'll throw a party for everyone.
- hahaha you look good with a red face, someone told you?
- don't play with me, LoneWolf! I don't shoot for your team! (Damn what's wrong with me).
- okay okay don't get angry but don't close yourself to new experiences as well. A true man is willing to try everything in this life, who knows and you might even like it?
- For the love of God! ... let's leave that topic please! (I feel my cheeks get hot)
- Well send me the details later, surely we come, they have already told me that I have to have fun more often anyway hahaha.
- Well, I'll make the preparations, and thanks again.
We left without major mishaps, Donovan had also gotten a bit uncomfortable with the conversation and the others already know me so no case but they were surprised when I said I would go to the party, yep has been two years since I don't have fun.
