104 and 213 thought the situation wasn't so bad. While the plan is ongoing many members have to work extremely diligently to keep things under wrap. They only had to take care of one normal human boy.
To use a rank 6 and rank 8 members simply to deal with a normal human may seem excessive but that just goes to show how important this plan is. And more importantly, they have prepared this plan for so long with such amazing secrecy that not even official organization can notice yet a normal person managed to sniff out something? That's simply too outrageous!
That's why they decided to send 104, a rank 6 Extraordinary with the ability to take over someone. An extremely rare and powerful ability as it gives access to the person memories once they get taken over. The only problem is that 104 has no fighting capability of his own and needed to get in physical contact to use his ability or else he would already advance to rank 5 by now.
213 is a rising member with a rare ability to inherit fighting power from dead people, making them a powerful pair.
Standing outside the street, 104 checked to see if the target is there.
"Yeah he's there alright. Get ready, we'll be moving in. You go from the rooftops, I'll go in the windows." [104]
213 looks annoyed at the order, unnecessary order if he was to be honest.
"Tch, he's just a brat who doesn't even have any Karma. Why go in such a roundabout way." [213]
"An order is an order. Go and look for him. Don't do anything until we regroup. I'll check the house for anything related to why he was suspicious of that place." [104]
Still not convinced 213 tried to find a way to talk him out of doing thing so slowly.
"Don't you get all his memories anyway, why so much effort." [213]
"It takes some time and the plan is nearing its completion. We can't afford leaving any wild card." [104]
When speaking of the plan, 104 couldn't help but shudder. The plan filled him with such awe but it also give him just as much dread.
213 wanted to refute by mocking 104 ability but refrained from doing so. He was sure that if he does there'll be 2 dead bodies after this mission is done.
"Let's go." [104]

Meanwhile inside the house.
I decided to fake sleeping inside my parent's room, the shotgun under the blanket. Although I wish I could've done something more, there's just too little resources available for me. I'll need really good luck to get out of this alive.
Funnily enough, if my [King of luck] was off cooldown things would have been much easier. By relying on the fact they'll be reduce to rank 10, the same rank as the ability, I could use it on them. But I would have never predicted this.
The only thing I can do now is mentally prepare myself. If things go well I'll still need to potentially kill 2 people. I can't hesitate at crucial moments. Since they came here to kill me, I'll return the favor.
Click.
They're here! I could hear them talking from the outside.
"He's asleep, this will be much easier then." [104]
At the moment they are still too far away for my shotgun to reach. Since my parents room is also their work room, it's as huge as the living room.
The both of them entered the room without saying any other words. At first a person with big build led the way but after a certain point he stopped seemingly confused about something. The other continued on without noticing anything amiss and just as he's one meters away from me I quickly pulled out my shotgun and shoot. Despite my preparation I was still too nervous and thus close my eyes when shooting.
With a violent noise, the gun roared.
BANG!
The shot hits, blowing out half his stomach rendering him dead.
The other person nearby quickly ran out the room.
* * * * * * * *
213 was shocked speechless. When he went closer to the target, he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his body like it's not his anymore. Yet the superior 104 continued on unnoticed which made 213 confused. He was sure that something is wrong.
And he was right. Before 104 touched the target, the boy stood up with a shotgun and blow a hole in 104 body, making blood and the inside flew out in a bloody rain. Though shocked, 213 reflexes quickly brought him outside the room.
'Fuck it was a trap. He knew we were coming. But why did 104 not notice anything?'
Questions continue forming in 213 mind with no answer in sight.
What he didn't know was because 104 ability requires close contact, he couldn't feel the changes until he get close to the target which was too late to defend himself.
If for example 104 ability was attack related, Dummy would have been killed from afar without any chances to retaliate thus the cheap price for the help.
'Quite the lucky person' the plushie thought to itself.
213 was now unsure of what to do. He could continue to find an opportunity to kill the target with risks of there being more traps. More specifically that shotgun is a terrifying weapon capable of tearing up even an Extraordinary's body effortlessly.
Or he could run and hide, regroup with the organization facing their punishment.
'To hell with it. He's just a normal person with no Karma. I'll lurk around his house to look for an opportunity. Then I'll crush that boy throughly.'
* * * * * * * *
Huek!
I couldn't help but puke seeing the gory scene in front of my. The dead body plus the smell of puke makes me sicker.
Not good. There's still one more I need to get myself together.
I was unsure of what to do. On one hand, I need to stop the other from running away as there's the possibility that someone more dangerous will come 'visit' my home. On the other hand, the other person could be anywhere outside, waiting for an ambush.
Although I'm confident I can beat them with enough range, I'll surely die without this shotgun.
However if they are right outside they would have take advantage of when I was puking which mean they aren't outside this room!
I went outside the door looking for a light switch. Since it's still night the entire house was shrouded in the dark.
Let's see my room is over there which mean the light switch is here somewhere. I hold my shotgun tightly as it's the only that could give me comfort in this darkness.
Going around the house in the dark with a gun made me feel like a villain of a horror movie, except I'm the one being scared right now.
Tak.
The light soon returned to the upper floor. For a split second I was relieved. And in that second, horror strike. Something impacted my body with a huge force sending my flying to the wall. Next my shotgun was punched away, falling downstairs. Before I could recovered from the first impact another one come straight to my face.
PAK!
I could feel my consciousness quickly fading away. Looking at me was a pair of cold eye, with a damn smirk on his face.
No! I can't faint here! If I do I'll be dead!
Activate [Athlete's boost]!
I could quickly feel my body strength returning. In this moment of adrenaline I grabbed the knife in my pocket and stabbed it in his eye. Perhaps surprised by my sudden strength, the opponent didn't managed to react in time.
Blood splattered down on my own face.
He let go of my body. Quickly I jumped downstairs.
Enraged by his wound, the opponent jumped down with me.
Because of my wounds and the jump, the newly regenerated stamina quickly dwindled with only enough to keep me awake.
It felt like time has slowed down as the enemy approached me. A happy smile appeared on my lips.
It seems like he felt something amiss as a shocked expression appeared on his face, quickly changing to despair as he rushes toward me.
Using the last of my strength, I blocked his punch with my leg and aim the shotgun right at his face.
I could feel my bones breaking as I left him some parting words.
"Fuck you."
BANG!
A headshot. His head was blown away into pieces and his remains fell upon me. I couldn't care less though as only 2 thoughts occupied my mind at that moment.
'It hurts'
and...
'I won!'
And soon the drowsiness embrace me as I fell into the kingdom of dream.
Upstairs, the special phone vibrated for a moment. A single notification popped up, announcing a certain someone of their accomplishments.
