Chapter 3 - II. FOLLOWING ORDERS

───

The three-person group watches from the top of another building as they wait for target number one to walk on out.

"Goddamn it I'm bored," Pisces exclaims. Leonardo rolls his eyes, he and Pisces have never really gotten along that well.

"Then you shouldn't have come," Leonardo replies under his breath.

Pisces picks up on it and laughs, "I hope that was sarcasm."

"Both of you shut the hell up!" Sagittarius commands as his rough Italian accent comes through.

Waiting idly for a while longer, their collective peering eyes finally land on the set target. "There he is, go ahead Leonardo," Sagittarius speaks up.

Leonardo smirks as he finally feels the same old rush he loves as he holds his heavy sniper. As he straightens his laser to fixate on the lazily walking target.

Everyone on the street minds their business as the man drops onto the harsh concrete. Gasps and horrified expressions fill the street.

A lady can't keep her yelps quiet as she whips out her mobile phone to report the sudden death. Little does she know the perpetrators are long gone.

The day for Aquarius, Lorenzo, and Gemini was going quite pleasantly.

They have gotten to scare and hurt a few people. Don't misunderstand, these people aren't on the underserving side.

They are given several chances and opportunities to pay or return the money. As you can see they have to learn the hard way. That when you don't follow rules there are consequences.

"Let's head to the next location," Lorenzo announces himself as he carries his bloody wooden bat on his broad shoulders.

Aquarius and Gemini nod to the shorter male that joins them.

A few more minutes into the walk back to the compound a sleek black, car rolls slowly next to them.

"Buon pomeriggio amici," an older man in a grey and black striped fedora greets them, "How are we doing?"

Aries immediately shifts into a defensive mood, "Who the hell are you?" The man laughs showing his shiny gold tooth, "You'll know soon."

"I have a letter from my boss," the man reaches inside his midnight suit jacket and pulls out a singular crisp envelope.

"Trasmetterla," Gemini quickly grabs it out of the man's hand.

"Have a good day boys," the man waves a taunting goodbye as his window was slow to roll back up as the tires drift the car down the road.

"We have to alert the captain," Gemini proposes glancing at what words the letter held.

"Concordato," replies Lorenzo.

Signing papers as the day went on Taurus was suddenly interrupted as his office door swung open. Suddenly alarmed by the sudden intrusion, he quickly has his gun in his grasp preparing to shoot if necessary.

Gemini comes through the door with a hard expression, "Captain we have news for you." Taurus could sense Gemini's negative mood and knows the news wouldn't be any good.

"Qual è il problema?" Taurus inquires setting the weapon back in its holster. Gemini shakes his head handing the letter to Taurus.

Taurus skims over the letter and waves Gemini away from inside his office. Gemini complies giving a slight head nod walking out and shutting the door.

Taurus plops down in his chair running his hand over his face knowing whatever lay ahead due to the letter was only going to complicate things.

"Boss we need to speak, it's urgent."

Glancing over his shoulder he makes sure he was truly alone before dialing a certain number, "I have an update."
