Barry and his brother Terry are in new-york tasked to arrive at the citadel; A hotel part of the international chain of other luxury hotels that functions as neutral territories for members of the criminal underworld. It is frequented by many hitmens and high ended criminals.
Arriving to the citadel in Terry's black dodge challenger R/T 1970, the two brothers sit in the car outside the pavement; Terry had black slicked back hair, blue irised eyes and pale skin, he wore a light blue slim-fit suit with black gloves on, Barry had on a large orange jacket with a large hood with orange firefighter pants with green and silver stripes and black boots. Terry removed the car keys turning the car off before looking at his brother Barry.
Terry: Alright let's go. [Opens the door.]
Barry: W-Wait...
Terry: Hm? What is it?
Barry: [He points at the direction of a vintage, dented truck in white, parking illegally on the side walk next to the building before 4 males jump out from the back and 1 male with a female step out of the doors, they'd all walk as a unit with long ranged weapons into the hotel.] Mercenaries...
Terry: [He looks at the direction his brother pointing at.] What about them?
Barry: why do you think they here? Hell why do you think WE even here?
Terry: Hmmm.... Maybe we all getting gathered for a big hunt.
Barry: Hm... Or a battle for all.
Both Terry and Barry exit out of the car before Terry locks it with his key and they start to walk towards the entrance.
Terry: OR you being paranoid. I mean THIS place is for criminals of the underworld, a safe place...
Shattered glass is heard and a male appears plummeting to the ground dead with blood now splattered everywhere even on them. They silently look at the deaf body before Terry continues talking to his brother.
Terry: For the unwanted, unjustified, evil and twisted. But not for rapists, those guys are just... weird.
Barry: Oh... W-what about abusers?
Terry: Uhmm... I... I guess... I dont know.
They continue walking until they get inside the hotel.
Barry: I... don't feel safe in here.
Terry: Urgh... Look. We came here for the money right?
Barry: Yeah...
Terry: So we could pay our bills and get the fuck out this damn country.
Barry: I know...
Terry: Good. [Pats Barry on the back.]
Walking through the place seeing different individuals of the criminal world crowding the place slowly after every minute or so, "Man, What ever is up must be really huge." Barry says in thought as they head up through 4 floors towards the last 8th flood with a elevator. On the floor they head through the quiet and white clear hallway with the floor being silver, towards a large black double entrance door that's guarded by a large broad shouldered man wearing a full body shint black spandex with a spikes collar and black spandex mask with three openings for: the mouth and eyes.
Guard: {heavy breathing} [Seeing the two guests, he bangs on the door 3 times before it begins opening slowly for the two men.]
Both Barry and Terry walk into the door, Barry makes eye contact with the guard standing on the side with every faint breathe heard coming from the large man. Upon entering the room, Barry and Terry find themselves in a large office space, there is 4 men: 3 of the men wear full bodied spandex with masks the ones seen are the two men standing together on the side with chained collars on their necks attached to the wall keeping them from moving anywhere beyond 3 metres, at the very end of the room is a overweight man with a fair skin and hairy stomach, he has no shirt on and has a gold eagle mask. He is seen by the two guests sitting behind a desk on a black chair, having his entire body facing his right side with the chair. Rough strokes and slurping sounds.
Terry: [Upon their arrival Terry announces] We heeere.
The man behind the desk pans his head to their direction.
Boss: Ah, welcome! [He pans down to his legs where the slurping sounds are coming from] Faster... [He commands and the slurping sounds get louder and faster]
Barry: [In wonder of whats happening, He looks under the desk with his eyes and sees someone's kneeing on ground, unable to see further only the legs, he assumes that it is a female pleasuring the man.] Should we... come back another time? I see that you a Lil... busy there.
Boss: What? No, No, No. It's cool. [He gestures the person to stop and they stand up revealing to be the fourth man.]
Terry looks at the two, feeling a bit disturbed by what just occured infront of them while Barry is surprised. They both remain quiet and don't show their real emotions.
Boss: Here, I never said you should stand up! [He yells at his servant that fidgets in fear before looking at Barry and Terry in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and goes back on his knees.] Good... [He pats the servant's head before looking at Terry and Barry] Sorry you two had to see that. Servants nowadays aint as smart as they use to, back then.
Terry: No, No, it's... Perfectly fine. I experienced the same the thing...
Boss: Really?
Terry: Yeah! I wanted my servant to wash my car and never did. Had to fire them right after.
Boss: Wow– [Chuckles mid sentence.] Cold hearted. I would have punished them by using my flat grater on their clit or balls then make them lick the peeled skin off the grater.
Barry: Wait, What?
Terry: Oh my...
Boss: Yeah... So, I'm guessing you two must beeeee– [points at Terry] Terry and– [points at Barry] Gary.
Barry: What? No. I'm... [He points at himself with both index fingers in confusion] Barry.
Boss: Barry?! [Grunts furiously before grabbing the servant's head and smashes it against one of the desk-edges causing the servant to fall to the ground with a opened wound on his head.] I specifically asked for Terry and Gary Holden! GAAAARRY, GARY! NOT BARRY HOLDEN! [He raises and stomps his right foot down ontop of the servant's head bashing his skull in leaving only a bloodied mess of matter on his grey carpet and shoe.]
Barry: Doesn't really matter, man, Gary and I both good at killing and stuff.
Boss: Shut your fucking cum hole! I only asked for your two brothers not you... So... [Looks at Terry with an angered smirk] Where's Gary?
Terry: Prison. He's been there for 3 months now.
Boss: Is that so? Then... who has been killing all the targets I've been handing out in the past three month?
Terry: Me and him. [Tilts his head to Barry.]
Boss: Hmm... Then I guess there was a technical error... You ARE the two I asked for.
Barry: Ah! Glad you realized and we all on the same page now... right?
Boss: Yeah! Ofcourse man. Please both of you– [gestures to the two open chairs infront of them far from the desk] Take a sit.
Both Barry and Terry sit on the chairs.
Terry: Alright... Why we here?
Boss: Right. As you two know, the ZX force has been terminated and now is a terrorist organization to the whole world.
Terry: Right?
Boss: Right... Because of that, I want you two to go kill them.
Barry: I'm sorry... What?
Boss: The Zx and Defenders are nolonger under the protection of the United nations THEREFORE I am ordering you two to kill the members.
Terry: Kill the Zx? [He chuckles] You kidding, right?
Boss: I never... kid, Terry. I've already placed out a bounty on the ZX and everyone in OUR world are looking for them as we speak. And there is a higher bounty of 80 mill for whoever kills the members of the ZX currently in this very building. or managing to kill a member of the ZX
Barry: Tch...
Terry: In... this building?
Boss: Yep. I've reached out to all the others, I'm surprised the "fireworks" haven't started. [He chuckles]
Terry: Know the names of these members?
Boss: Oscar Sawyer, Brandon Smith and Kelvin Fischer.
Barry: Why are they in this building?
Boss: They seek refuge here, obviously.
Barry: No. Not obviously.. Something's up, you hiding something ain't you? [Terry kicks Barry's ankle.]
Boss: Are you... Calling me a liar? Barry? [His eyes behind the mask emit a reddish glow of energy.]
Terry: [He clears his throat.] NO. Ignore him, he likes questioning things HE SHOULDN'T BE QUESTIONING...
Boss: [He chuckles as his eyes fade back to dark] So it seems..! Well, happy hunting, you two.
Later on in the day Terry and Barry have an argument in the room given to them.
Barry: I'm telling you Terry! Something is up with that man.
Terry: Barry, I don't give a damn! Okay? I don't care if he a pervert that hires man to pleasure him or is Just a plain cock sucking pedophile! Listen, if we kill the ZX, we'll be rich.... heck we'll even be known as the ones who pulled the impossible in one day.
Barry: Yeah? And what about the other fucking bounty hunters in this fuck place? It will be a bloodbath once they get discovered. There has to be a good reason why they here. What if there's a literal bomb capable of killing millions! Of people!
Terry: That's not our problem, Barry! We not heroes, we are just two opportunistic assassins hired to do. One. Thing... Fucking killing the ZX.
Barry: Oh my god... Terry, these guys SAVED THE WORLD! I... I don't think I have it in me to kill them.
Terry: Barry... I get that they saved the world and all but this is life mate. I mean look at the destruction they've caused in the past? All the people that died because of their reckless heroism which I why killing them is necessary, not only for us but for the future of the world if we ever want to see it be better.
Barry: Tch... [He grunts quietly knowing that Terry is right.]
"He was right. The ZX in this universe weren't as careful or that heroic to say the least compared to universe 20023. But killing them? I'm completely against that. Even if it is for a good cost. Killing good people? I could never... There's a saying about family coming first before everything else... but you, brother... Family often comes second, money comes first... That's why Gary went to prison for felony... For me, family comes first but when it comes to killing innocent and good people? I'll side against you... Brother..."
