Boston, Massachusetts

February

"Mr.Cashmere, good evening", Lucio greeted him as he sat down in his seat and looked out at the large window next to them as they saw the gorgeous view at the night sky and the city.

"I heard you needed to talk to me so here I am", Lucio told him politely as he smiled at him, pulling out a pack of mints from his pocket.

"I already told you all everything I got from him, but I needed to know...do I have to eliminate the target you were talking about in order to proceed with our plans?", Leon was referring himself to the meeting they had earlier, considering that they wanted him to kill a man, someone called Daniel Cordova.

"This is up to you, if you do, we will give you 10 percent more of our shared funds for yourself", he replied to him as his caramel brown eyes stared at him softly.

"Do you think you can do it tomorrow?", Lucio asked him, Leon wasn't really looking forward tommorow, he'd rather do it tonight.

"How about now?", Leon replied to him back, Lucio gave him an evil smirk as he rested his chin against his hand with his finger placed on his cheekbone, he loved Leon's confidence.

"Alright", Lucio said before they went into detail about the mission they had set up, Leon reluctantly agreed to his plan and he decided to make it into a private mission, meaning he would be on his own and with his bodyguard.

He was constantly risking his soul for these people who randomly entered his life, but he was their supplier so technically they depended on him anyways. If he was gone, they'll probably be be in prison.

°~11:47 PM~°

"You ready?", Leon told Noel as he got his gun loaded ready to take away its weak souls out of the earth.

"I'm always ready, Sir Cashmere", Noel put his mask on and placed his hoodie over his head, he placed his knife in its pocket.

"Alright, let's move", Leon told him quietly, they moved up towards a strip club, which according to Lucio, it was  the location their target was going to be tonight.

"Take your hood off your head, it might give it away", Leon advised Noel, they both pulled their hoodies from over their head and zipped down their jackets as they wanted to blend in with the crowd.

As they got closer towards the entrance, which was kind of full and had a line awaiting for them, he moved away from the building and went around as they put his hoodie back on as he noticed a surveillance camera from the distance.

They got nearer to a fire exit door and he slowly opened it, Noel turned around and shot at the camera as he got inside the building.

"We're clear", Leon said as he saw around the place and realized he had got inside some kind of storage room.

Leon looked around to see any important items around the room as he saw a bunch of storage boxes, mostly containing alcoholic drinks.

"Let's go", Leon ordered him as he went up towards another door, slowly turning the door knob, but the door opened and an employee froze in astonishment.

"Oh my god!", the person tried to back away but Leon wrapped his arm around his neck and violently dragged him inside.

He pulled out his knife with his other hand and punctured his chest deeply multiple times before the man lost his consciousness.

He let go of the man and he fell down to the floor lifelessly, Leon stared at his corpse for a moment before cleaning his knife with the victim's shirt before standing back up.

He felt angered since the blood from the victim got on his sleeves, but he still had to walk with it on.

"Fuck, this bitch really stained his blood on my coat", Leon said angrily, he looked over at Noel who was standing beside the corpse. He gazed at it and he got the ID card from the employee, it would allowed access to the V.I.P section of the place, where most likely he would find him.

Leon finally opened the door and it lead down to an empty hallway.

He walked forward until he met another door next to him.

He looked over to see it lead to the bar area, he got onto his knees and started crawling as he noticed nobody was attending at the moment, which was strange. He could hear the loud music blasting all around the place, feeling the vibrations of the melody shaking through his hands.

Noel followed him and Leon noticed another camera right next to them,as he hid behind the counter and got into a sitting position.

He slowly got up and helped his bodyguard by extending his hand.

Surprisingly, no one seemed to bat en eye on them suddenly standing up and as they were getting out of the counter since there was half- naked women dancing their lives away for money.

°~12:18 AM~°

They quietly blended into the crowd and took their hoodies off again to avoid suspicions against them.

He looked around along with Noel where the V.I.P section was, but as soon he noticed the section he was looking for, a gunshot flew out right next to Leon's shoulder.

"Fuck! They know we're here!", Leon started to push people away from them as a rainfall of bullets showered everywhere, the crowd went into panic and began started screaming and sprinting out the doors.

Noel pulled out his firearm and shot the person a few times until he collapsed down to the ground.

Leon rushed up to the stairs, but suddenly more men came out of the hallway and started shooting in sight.

Leon backed away immediately before jumping over the stair rails down to the ground floor.

He sprinted away along with Noel towards an emergency exit door, which lead down to a parking lot.

"Hide!", Leon ordered his bodyguard as they got close to a black expensive vehicle, and hid behind it, the front of car facing them.

Leon and Noel noticed they were taking a little long since they were hiding, so Leon turned to his bodyguard to tell him something.

"Slash the tires...", Leon pulled out his knife before punturing the left tire, the blade cutting in deeply.

"Yes, Sir Cashmere", Noel replied queitly to him before his weapon stabbed the right tire and cutting it open before placing it back in his pocket.

They both noticed the men escortkng a man out of the building, it was their target, Daniel Cordova.

Leon suddenly ran out of his hiding spot, and started firing at them, killing a few men at once.

Noel ran up to one of the men before shooting his neck, he fired at more guys until they were laying down lifelessly.

"Daniel, this is your fate coming to you", Leon taunted him as they finished killing of his men in a matter of few minutes.

Daniel's expression looked fearful at first but he then pulled out his firearm to shoot at him but he realized his gun didn't have any bullets.

Leon could hear footsteps coming towards them and he got one his gun ready about to shoot the man dead but more gunshots rang out, trying to kill him.

Noel ran towards his boss while taking out some of the enemies in his sight, they both crouched down behind the same vehicle and Leon fired towards the guys on the right side and his bodyguard on the left side.

As Leon dropped the bodies one by one, he steadily took a shot on Daniel's thigh, and the bullet went through him, collapsing to the ground from the sudden pain.

Noel continued shooting until he realized he had no bullets left in his gun, he reloaded quickly before getting back into business.

"Shit! This is a lot of people against us two", Noel shouted towards his boss as the loud gunshots rang out viciously.

"We won't give up", Leon shouted back as he continued shooting towards some men in the distance, they noticed a few men crowded all around the target, trying to let him escape but Leon wasn't having it.

°~12:36 AM~°

They succesfully got Daniel onto his feet before getting away, leaving the remaining amount of men trying to shoot at them.

Leon decided to move away from their spot and sprinted around the parking lot along with his bodyguard, they continued missing their shots as he got behind another line of cars, and tried to find which car the target was trying to get inside of.

Noel almost got hit by a car since it was backing up as he was running away, making him roll over to the ground reflexively.

The car drifted away rapidly and Noel slowly got up from the ground, he had scraped his hand kind of badly, it was really bothering him but he had to continue with his duty.

"Fuck...", Noel realized he had lost his boss, or so he thought.

He looked around to see if he could find him and he did as he noticed Leon climbing on top of a car and jumping over the next car as he was shooting some men from the distance.

Noel tuned in as he started firing towards some of the enemies in their sight, he ran closer right next to where his boss was before looking up at him.

"Over there! That white car!", Leon commanded him to moved rapidly as he got closer to the white car, he jumped on the car in front of it, which had a person inside the car below him.

He started aiming his gun towards the two people seated in the front seat before knocking them out forever.

Noel got a hold of the car handle as he opened the door and killed the other two men next to Daniel.

"Don't kill him yet!", Leon yelled out as he got down and started sprinting towards the car door and opening it, taking the body out of the car seat before they both got inside. The key was already on the engine, he turned it on and reversed backwards, running over a few of the men.

He zoomed out of the place while people were still trying to get out of the crime scene.

"What the fuck are you trying to do to me?", Daniel seemed quite fearful of what these two men were up to.

"Just shut your ass up and you'll find out", Leon told him harshly as he was accelerating recklessly through the streets for a while before finally coming into a halt in a secluded area where he thought nobody seemed to go.

°~1:32 AM~°

Leon sighed deeply as he turned off the car and looked back at Daniel coldly.

Without a word, he got off the car and opened the car door where he pulled out Daniel by the collar of his shirt and threw him on the ground mercilessly. Daniel screamed out in pain as his leg was shot a while ago, he gritted his teeth as his eyes got moist, he stared at Leon in eerie.

"Please...let me go", he pushed himself away with his other foot, he was panting heavily in disstress.

"I need you to do a favor for me, where is the intel of the meeting you had with Vincent Wales two days ago?", Leon interrogated him as he pulled out his knife and got closer to him.

Noel got off the car and gazed at Leon as he was impressed of the teamwork they had done, they had beat down a lot of people with only the both of them, it was an entire war.

"What...what are you talking about?!", Daniel seemed more shocked than before as he grabbed his leg and tried to put pressure on the would. Leon crouched down to glare at him emotionlessly, he stabbed the man on his other leg furiously, causing him to yell out in pure agony.

"Where is it?", Leon asked him again more firmly, Daniel continued to stay quiet.

"Fuck you...", Daniel cursed at him while squinting his eyes in discomfort, Leon slowly twisted the knife around without hesitation, another scream followed.

"Stop it! Stop it!", Daniel yelled out, as he started to weep relentlessly. How weak.

"I'll stop if you tell me where the intel is, now where the hell is it?", Leon had to queried at him again, it was getting late and he wanted to take a rest at this point.

"I'm not telling you", Daniel slowly pulled out a pocket knife before with all of his strength he slashed Leon's arm out of nowhere.

Noel kicked his the pocket knife out of his hand before shooting the target's arm.

Daniel hollered and begged them to let him go but Leon was enduring the pain from the wound he had given him.

"Tell me where is it and I'll take you to the hospital now", Leon tried to make a deal with him, Daniel was desperate at this rate so he finally confessed where it was, Leon sighed in relief.

He stood up on his feet before pulling his gun, Daniel's eyes widened from astonishment.

"I never said I make promises", Leon told him before shooting at him multiple times, killing him instantly.

He crouched down again to search him up for anything that could be useful to him , he found his wallet which contained his driver's license, money, and his credit cards.

As he placed the wallet back into his pocket, Noel crouched down beside him as he stared at him intensively.

"We did it", Leon told him before giving a faint smile. Noel placed his gun on the ground before reaching out to grab Leon's cheek, pulling his face closer to his. He closed his eyes as his lips met his, kissing him softly.

Leon froze as his bodyguard kissed him, Noel pulled away before turning his head around to gaze at the firearm next to him.

"What was that for?", Leon asked him, Noel chuckled under his breath before getting the gun as he placed it on his jacket.

"Take it as a reward", Noel smirked at him playfully before staring at him deeply.

"Should I?", Leon scoffed at him, he was enjoying Noel's teasing.

"You should, handsome", Noel pulled him for another gentle kiss, he wondered why he suddenly was being so affectionate towards him, though it didn't mean he didn't want it.

"Let's go back, I'm tired", Leon stood up to his feet before extending a hand out, Noel used his other hand to get up.

"You got hurt?", Leon asked his bodyguard as he noticed the scrape on his hand.

"You're also hurt, Sir Cashmere. You need to focus on yourself first", Noel smiled at him politely, Leon smiled faintly at him again.

"Yes, sir", Leon teased him, this wasn't a bad night in the end...
