The alley where the two DEA agents named Allan Marley and Ryan Pistol died was packed with news reporters and bystanders, and police guarded the vicinity so the crime scene investigators can do their job.
Gary gave a speech to the media while Dexter and Jax is behind him and other police officers
Gary: a very tragic day for us in the Police Department and the Government to lose such hardworking individuals, heroes if you may, we're already tracking down the perpetrators of this inhumane crime, as soon as we caught them, well inform you all
Reporter: Sir, from channel 7 here, according to the people in this neighborhood, drugs and gang violence are rampant in the area, are they in any way related to the case?
Gary: I can't be too sure of that, but since two of our best DEA agents were taken down, maybe there's a hint of truth to that, but will inform you as soon as we get our pieces together
Reporter: Sir, from channel 2 here, gunshot holes were found in the back of the head of the two agents, do you think, just maybe there's an inside job happening here?
Gary: Ridiculous! there's no way on earth that some in our uniform would sell our comrades to these hooligans, or by any chance that these criminals would get ahead of us and ambush our officers as planned, so please, trust us on these issues
Reporter: Sir, from channel 15 here, when do we expect results for this case, and would the fugitives who commit such a crime get the death penalty?
Gary: As soon as possible, well hunt those fugitives real soon, and about the death penalty, to those very hard working in the legislative body of our Government, I'm begging you to please revive the death penalty, to minimize the pain of the families of our deceased comrades, and that's all, let's pray for our two heroes here, God bless to you all, and have a good day
Gary, Dexter, and Jax go back to talk to the other detectives before going back to the Police Station.
The night where Jon witnessed the crime, his instinct told him to check if maybe, just maybe if the two agents are still alive, but he checks the area first for cameras, and he see none, so he runs back to the patrol car that he parked almost two streets away, and before he hit the road, he saw a payphone, so he again checks if there are cameras close and since he saw none, he hastily put some coins and dialed their station's number and report the crime that has happened.
Jon was hesitant to cooperate with Gary's team, as two days before the crime, he saw the same folder that he and Harvey were investigating, about the missing people that once come to Boutique 1306 in Gary's desk, and he thought maybe those were just recycled folders or it just looks like the same, but then he saw it again in Dexter's desk, so he got curious and when he as always arrived in the office early, he found an opportunity to take a look on the folder, and he was right, it was theirs, and not just that, some were added, like Fred's photos and businesses.
Fred is sitting on the couch of Padluck's office, giving Padluck a very serious look, so instead of doing his casual morning routine, he started cooking Fred's favorite dish, and after cooking he gives it to Fred
Padluck: here buddy, you need this
Fred: ( look intensely at Padluck and sway his hand throwing the food to the ground )
Padluck: good, cause that was the appetizer, now for the main menu ( gives another plate containing Fred's favorite dish )
Fred: You son of a bitch I almost died last night, see this beat up stitches in my face, I'm missing some tooth here buddy, so how about you explain to me first what happened last night motherfucker!
Padluck: that was a misunderstanding ok, so let's burry that in the past and move on
Fred: move on you fuckface! better pay me now or else man, or else
Padluck: ( go to his vault where he stashes some of his money, he then grabs some and gave it to Fred who is chowing down his favorite food ) here, since you are a special business associate, I'll give you this in advance as a sign of good etiquette ok
Fred: ( cleaning his mouth ) how dare you tell me that, I'm a business partner in this company, don't you forget that, I co-built this company, I do the hard jobs to keep us afloat
Padluck: ok, ok I get that, and since we're finally squared, I hope that we use words first before fists
Fred: Fuck you is a word ( drops his plate after finishing his meal, put the money on his bag, and leaves Padluck's office )
Fred hops into his car and leaves the area, he then goes to a department store and bought some kids' toys, school supplies, and boxes. After that, he rides again back to his place, inside his apartment, he then started putting the toys into different boxes and paired them with some school supplies, after he wrapped the boxes with colorful wrappers, he then started writing his best wishes on the gift cards. He then takes the boxes to his car and drives to the nearest delivery service branch, after signing the papers and showing one of his fake IDs, he paid the required amount then he left and goes back to his apartment. While watching documentaries on a variety of dinosaurs, the delivery service company sent him a notice that his package was already delivered.
Can't help but get curious, Fred then checks the money in his bag, since his early childhood days, people of older age always outsmarted him when it comes to money, so he grows some paranoia when it comes to money, so he always keeps money counter and started counting his money, he checked it until he was satisfied, and since he goes for the extra mile for earning that money, he started counting the money by the hands, and only there he noticed something in the money, it has the same marks that he always makes every time he decides to donate the money to the Happy House, and he thinks that the money that Padluck store to his vault always cones from the other business partner and it can't come from the bank, so it makes him think hard, about the whereabouts of the money that he donates to the Happy House.
In the Boutique, a chat between Lief and the apprentices started
Roland: ( unpacking the boxes ) so how did you end up in this job Lief, were you hired out in the streets, or did you apply?
Lief: like the two of you, I was picked by the Pillar, they said that I was somehow special and I fit the bill, so I was hired when I was walking in the streets
Yza: oh, so before getting hired, have you killed anybody, like someone special?
Lief: ( he looks afar and said ) yeah, if you can call them special, yeah
Yza: oh, then, were you hired the same age as us?
Lief: no, not really, I was getting the tests for this job way back when I was 12, but I was not sure until 20, but then something happened in my family so I'm here now
Roland: would you mind if we ask about that Lief, about your family?
Lief: yeah, I do mind, since it's against our protocols here to talk about our families, then I have to decline to answer your question
Roland: ok, then can you tell us more about your experiences in this line of job, like how is it, like doing all of these?
Yza: ( preparing the complementary foods on the table ) I would also like to hear it, do you mind?
Lief: well, if the both of you insist then ok.
The very first request that I took was during my 20th birthday, the very first order was on the spot, a lady said that she was being stalked by her ex-boyfriend and since she's been already verified, I go and execute the process, show her the worst of what about to happen, but then she stands strong, so I gave her the pen and paper, she hastily wrote and gives back the paper, I gave her the basket, she returned the entire basket and so I execute the things that she wrote in the paper, I told her ex that we have something special for him and when he came with me inside the storage area, I hit the back of his head so hard, he fell asleep in one hit. When he woke up, the store is already closed but the woman is watching through the glass wall, and through the earpiece, she told me to proceed with her order, I woke up the dude, and the dude panicked as he was already missing his two legs, two arms, two ears, nose, his left eye and his genital and during his sleep I inject laxatives direct to his stomach and I plugged his anus with a Cork and glued it there. It took minutes from shock and blood loss before the dude died, when I declare his death to the woman and said that she needs to leave the city, she cried on my shoulder and said that the dude was forcing her to join their cult where they'll be supported by the cult and when the time comes, both of them should offer their first born to them, as a fetus, like a six-month-old fetus, after that, she left and I didn't saw her again.
Yza: so we can actually execute the request of the customer here?
Lief: no, only me the official staff, as for the two of you, you must wait, but also, yes, of course, the company allowed us to fully follow every single order of the said customer
Roland: so, we can only like execute the order in the storage room?
Lief: no, not necessarily, only when the store has some customers that aren't verified and didn't place an order, we don't want to raise suspicions to the police authorities that we are offering such things here, but if the customer and it's target is the only people inside or we are near the closing time and they are only the people inside, then we can go all out with the written order
Yza: like every part of the store?
Lief: yes, like every part of the store
Roland: so we can execute the order as long as we're inside right
Lief: and outside if the customer directed us to do so which if they have also written in the paper
Yza: so do we have a case like that from the past?
Lief: yes, a lot, there was a time that I did such requests for a straight month. There was this request from a teenager dude where he wants his bully classmate to be dead, but not just dead, but according to him is as he called satisfyingly death for the bully classmate of his, and so I execute his order, by the next morning his bully woke up without his lower half of the body, the bullied kid then gave free milkshakes to the class and it was immediately taken by the friends of the bully, he also gave some to the parents of the bully which they've just taken not knowing that I mixed the other half of the bullies body to the shake. Next was this person who told me that she wants her best friend who she believed that stolen her supposed to be billionaire ex-boyfriend to die in a meteor fall, but since that's a bit unrealistic to execute, I suggested another way, I just reimagined her method and she said yes, so I lure her best friend to our shop, told that she had won gift checks worth hundreds of thousands, and after I told her to come with me in the storage, I gave her a drink that has a sleeping doze on it and right after she fell asleep, I run towards the museum, stole this thing called "Allende Meteorite" then hurriedly goes back to here, and I immediately operate on the girl best friend and put the meteorite inside the stomach of the best friend and after that, I closed her stomach, then in the next morning, the best friend was in the national news, she was apprehended by the police as they believe that she had stolen the meteorite and hide it in her body and they believe that she wants to bring it back to Mexico as she was part American part Mexican woman, and a few hours later, the girl best friend committed suicide, the girl who put the request bought a dress here in our store before leaving the country. And lastly, an ex-convict told me to kill the ghosts that were following him, this man was packed with tattoos from head to toe, and since he's been verified and he is mentally ok, I execute his order, but before doing that, I asked him to drink the glass of milk that I've already mixed with a sleeping pill, and when he woke up, all the ghosts, shadow figures that were following him were gone, he shakes my hand and leaves, he is currently in the opposite side of the world, and if you ask me on how I execute his order, well during his sleep, I injected a special doze called "Bonnie" to his veins, it's an ultimate drug exterminator, it immediately kills any drug substance like heroin or marijuana that are inside the human body. And those were the few of the many jobs that I've taken
Roland: That's crazy, you lasted for six years here doing that?
Lief: remember this, it's just a job, nothing more, ok
Roland: ok
Yza: ok, I hope I can also execute such orders
Lief: let's get hired first,ok
Yza: yes sir!
Roland: yes sir!
While busy cleaning the floor as they were about to close the store, a woman covered in blood entered the store, she fall to the ground and Lief walked toward the woman
Lief: you forgot this? ( gives the woman the basket )
the woman grabs the basket and smiles at Lief.
