Dazai tilted his head, "I thought you guys were meant to keep your identities secret?"
"No use keeping my identity secret when you are gonna die"
Dazai laughed, "Ma' Dude, you are confident, do you think I am weak?"
"No, but I trust that I will be enough", and he fired.
Dazai, prepared for it, ducked and the bullet missed him narrowly, he smirked at the guy and fired 3 times and frowned, he was quite quick...
"Your bullets are out" The guy whispered, and Dazai understood, that was his strategy, "My name is Damien," the guy said as he pointed the gun at Dazai's head.
"And mine is Dazai", Dazai said, trying to buy time, if he could just get Damien a little off track, he did throw him off track, Damien frowned and tilted his head, Dazai sprang forward, disarmed him, and threw him to the floor, he stood over him and pointed his gun at Damien's head, His finger clutched the trigger, ready to pull it, at exactly that moment, his head started throbbing and images started flashing in his mind... people... but he couldn't see their faces.
He just saw one's face clearly, a child, he looked like 5 years old, and his eyes were like... Damiens.
He snapped back to reality and focused on Damien's face, he had expected Damien to act when he was in another world, but Damien himself seem dazed.
Dazai stumbled off him and fell to the floor, gasping.
"Why didn't you shoot?", Damien whispered.
Dazai clenched his jaw, this had never happened, he wanted to press the trigger, but a corner of his mind wouldn't let him press the trigger.
"I-I know you", Dazai muttered, he made eye contact with Damien and another feeling of De Ja Vu passes through him, Damien stood up, "Leave"
"What?", Dazai asked, puzzled.
"Leave, I don't want to kill you"
"Why?"
Damien looked at him, "Because I might know you too... even though you are wearing a mask, your eye's... seem like someone I know... someone I used to know" Saying that Damien went to the room in which his victim was, Dazai got shakily to his feet and stared at the door, he didn't have the heart to finish the job, he will have to face Damien again, Dazai left the building, got onto his motorbike and zoomed away, he didn't go to the headquarters, he went to his apartment on the 13th floor in Heirarch apartments, there, he threw away his mask and slumped on the bed and dug his face in his hands and groaned.
Dazai looked at the ceiling and the face of that child flashed in his mind again, His eyes were very familiar.
A message dinged on his phone and he read it.
"Mission failed, where are you? boss is asking for you?" June messaged.
Dazai texted back, "I feel ill, shit"
"Whatever, call the boss he has a new mission for you, he says it's really important, and only you can do it"
"Okay"
Dazai called the boss.
"Yes, sir"
"You failed this mission"
"Yes, sir, I felt ill"
A few seconds of silence.
"The next job has no client, I am giving you this job personally, and if you fail this time..." He let the threat hang "Anyways, you need to go to the outskirts of town, there is a building named Northways, its our 2nd headquarters, and we had to evacuate it, it has been infiltrated by enemies, and now there is a person hiding there, find him, alive or dead, I don't care, he is extremely dangerous, Dazai we are relying on you, he is hiding there like the coward he is, and his crime, he is plotting against us, our organization"
"Yes, sir"
"I want to know about the results till tomorrow night"
"Yes, sir"
"Good" and he cut the line, the phone dinged again and he had sent him the details and location with a picture of the person, Dazai zoomed on his face, he looked in his 50s had black hair, green eyes, and a lopsided smile. Dazai shut his phone and closed his eyes, fading away into dreams.
