"A.J.?"

You heard someone shuffling things around in their area. A.J. finally managed to respond. "Red! Lovely to hear your voice again. Sorry for the late response, I am quite busy and will be leaving tomorrow for some business."

You nodded. "I see. Um, A.J. I'd like to make a proposition."

"If it's about killing the traitor then I'm all ears."

"Why don't we just kill him there?" You suggested. "Or punish him there?"

"But that would be postponing your killing of the traitor? Why? Finding the mission too hard for you to accomplish, Red?"

You sighed. "No. I just thought that it would satisfy you to see him being tortured there than me killing him here with no assurance that he is indeed dead."

"I trust you, Red. So if you said you killed him, I will believe it."

"A.J. I lied about your underwear. It was Gary's not yours."

"What the fuck, (Y/n). I'm wearing it right now. Stop kidding around."

"What I mean is, not all assassins say the truth, A.J. You may never know, they say they killed the target but just tortured them and shut them up."

A.J. went quiet for a moment before sighing. "I guess you're right. For now, obey the Handler's orders to you which is...?"

"Find Number Five and bring him back to the Commission. She assigned Hazel and Cha-Cha to kill him while she gave a different one to mine. I guess she never wanted Number Five dead."

"Of course. That's the Handler."

"Just make sure you'll punish him after I brought him there."

"Alright, alright. And were you serious about the underwear?"

"No. It's Mark's underwear."

"(Y/n)!"

You cheekily smiled and ended the call. You turned around and looked at the streets of The City. 'Sorry, A.J. I know I said I didn't care about my past. I tried to ignore it but... all the flashbacks and dreams, I know I have to find out the truth.'

You walked away from the phonebooth and went to the Academy where Five and the rest of his siblings are. You knocked on the door and were greeted by the talking chimpanzee. Pogo narrowed his eyes for a bit. "I believe Master Five is waiting for you?"

"Yup." You nodded as Pogo let you come inside the mansion. When you lifted your hand to put your hood down, Pogo noticed your bracelet wrapped around your wrist. "Where did you get that?"

You looked down at your wrist and shrugged. "I just got it when I was a kid. Never knew who gave it to me." You looked around the place. "So, uh, where's Number Five?"
