Pico dragged his hand down his face.

He was tired and just wanted to go to bed. The storm outside was already coaxing him to doze off a little. He shook his head and stood up. "I've worked enough for the night."

Pico opened the door and was about to leave when he spotted Kit sleeping against the wall. Pico smiled at him and gently shook his uninjured shoulder. "Hey Kit. Don't you think the bed is more comfortable?"

Kit blinked and looked at Pico. "Oh hi... the bed is comfortable, but I... um... AH!" Kit screamed suddenly when a large thunderous boom sounded from outside. Pico looked like he realized what was happening.

"You're afraid of the storm." Pico inquired crouching down to Kit's level.

Kit nodded sheepishly and jumped quickly moving to hold onto Pico at the sound of another boom. Pico smiled and picked up Kit bridal style. Kit gave no struggle in fact he smiled and wrapped his arms around Pico's neck.

Nene came up to the two of them and grimaced slightly. "Me and Darnell are about to head out. We'll be back in about thirty minutes if everything goes off without a hitch."

Pico nodded. "Be careful. That's not our territory and they will know your faces. Just make sure there is no sign of him in that apartment."

Nene nodded and scurried off. Pico began to walk towards his room when Kit popped the question. "Who are you making disappear?"

Pico looked stern for a moment before softening. "Usually I would have said it would be none of your business , but technically this is your business. I'm making sure that, other than your appearances at the cafe, you never existed on any written or social platform."

"Seems normal when I have a bounty on my head." Kit said nuzzling as close to Pico as he could get at another sound of the unsettling storm.

Pico pushed his bedroom door open, stopped placed Kit on his feet, and stood in front of him. "Speaking of..." Kit was confused so he peaked around Pico and noticed the silhouette sitting on the bed. Kit gasped and hid back behind Pico. "Can I help you?" Pico said.

"Yeah, you can die alongside your little boyfriend and I can take your people under my wing and I will be the most feared individual in town. I will make my legacy the greatest in this town... as soon as you both die and I take the million."

Kit was making himself as small as he could so he didn't have to deal with this insane woman. Sure, he had a bounty on his head but don't people have the decency not to kill a person?! He knew what the answer to that question was and he was terrified.

"I won't let you touch him! He's under my protection and you would have to kill me first to get to him." Pico said his voice strong and unwavering.

"That can be arranged." She said rushing forward with a knife in hand.

"Run Kit!" Pico screamed rushing forwards as well pulling out his Uzi from behind him.

Kit screamed and ran towards Pico's closet that was pretty big and hid away close to the door in case he needed a quick exit. Kit hid behind some shirts and began to cover his bright blue hair, but while he was doing that he heard Pico cry out and a loud thump proceeded to cover the remaining locks of hair. Soon, the woman walked in and began to look around for Kit.

"I know you ran in here." She said. "Your so called protector was no match for me. If you want I can show you his dead body while I kill you."

Kit covered his ears trying to block out her word but they had already sunk in and his heart just shattered, but what could he do..? There were people downstairs that could help him... he just had to get downstairs.
