The other way —the near-impossible one— Five had mentioned was to go negotiate with Cha Cha and Hazel.
So that's how Five, Luther, and Jason ended up in a car —the license plate said HERMES which Jason thought was really cool— and drove to the middle of fucking nowhere and stopped the car, waiting for the two assassins to arrive.
"You know, I never enjoyed it," Five said and looked outside.
"What?" Luther asked from the driver's seat.
"The killing. I was good at my work, I took pride in it but it never gave me pleasure. I think it was all those years alone. Solitude can do funny things to the mind. At least I had him," Five pointed to the backseat where Jason was taking a nap in his human form.
"Yeah, well, you were gone for such a long time. I only spent four years on the moon, but that was more than enough. It's the being alone that breaks you."
The two looked around before Luther patted the briefcase between them, "You think they'll buy it?
"Well, what I do know is that they're desperate. it's like a cop losing his gun. The commission finds out, they'll be in deep shit. Not to mention the fact that they'll be stuck here until they get it back."
"Well, I should hold onto it," Luther looked at Five.
"Hmm?"
"In case they make a move on you."
"Alright Luther, but be careful. I mean, I've... I've lived a long life, but... you're still a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you. Don't waste it."
"You sound like my Nonno before he died and he was fucking old," Jason groaned and sat up on the backseat, rubbing his neck, "Man, that was the most comfortable yet uncomfortable nap I've ever had."
"Sleeping beauty finally awakes!" Five said sarcastically and looked at Jason in the rear mirror.
Jason winked at him, "I was waiting for my prince to kiss me but he was busy being an old man."
Luther looked between the two uncomfortably.
"I would never kiss you."
"But you think I'm beautiful!" Jason intervened his hands together and bought them to his chest and started blinking fast while looking at Five.
"If we were a Disney couple, we would be beauty and the beast."
"Awww! Don't sell yourself short Cutie! You don't look like a beast!" Jason rested his head on Five's shoulder, "Also I wouldn't mind you being a beast, I've heard they have big co-"
"Oh look!" Luther shouted and pointed at the car approaching them, "They're here! We better stop this conversation right here and right now and never continue it."
