Blood & Sweat

Part 1
The days were long and I was adjusting to the chills of december. Moxxie was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for Millie and I was getting ready to go with them to work. As I button my shirt a knock came from the door.”Who is it?” I say while Tieing a tie, “It’s Millie. Am I good to come in?”, Millie said from the other side of the door. 

“Give me a minute” I finish getting dressed and say, “Okay come in…” Millie comes in and sees me in my new pinstripe suit that I’d sewn myself, “Looking good Sugar, Breakfast is ready.” Millie says with a smile plastered on her face from cheek to cheek, “Okay, Be down in a second.” I grab something from a small box, the box is dusty and old with the family crest carved into it. I open it to reveal a silver pocket watch with “JLW” engraved on it and place it in my pocket. I then go down to breakfast. I pass Moxxie and say, ”Morning Moxxie, how did you sleep?”

Moxxie smiles as he turns around and responds, “I slept well, nice suit Will.”

I smile,”Thanks I made it myself… I wanted to make it back when I lived at the Inn but they overcharged on rent and the job-hopping didn’t help either.”

“Do you think you could make me one? If it’s no trouble…” Moxxie asks with a faint but clear amount of nervousness.

“I just need measurements for you then I’m gonna need more fabric but It’s no trouble… Sewing calms me and It’s the least I can do for you with you both giving me a place to stay… I can make  Millie one if she wants?”

 Millie comes in wearing her normal outfit, “Howdy Y’all” Millie says to both of us. 

“Hey Millie, is it okay if in the next few days I go get some fabric? I’m making Moxxie a suit and maybe one for you if you want?” Millie nods to my statement and we sit down to eat breakfast, I pickup the plates once done and take them to the kitchen. I return “Oh! I almost forgot!” I run to my room and grab my trillibie then run back. “Everyone ready?” The others nod and we go to the van. I sit in the back like normal with my hat in my lap, Millie's driving and Moxxie’s in the passenger seat, I pull out my watch and Moxxie sees the engraving,”What does ‘JLW’ stand for?” I’m shocked by the question But respond “Johnson Lee Watcher, It’s my Dad’s favorite watch.”. Moxxie nods and we pull up to the building, as soon as the van stops I step out in my suit and Moxxie and Millie follow. We walk up to the office and go in, “Hey Loona, Hey Blitzo, are you ready to get some kills in?” Blitzo nods and unlocks the armory, “I think you’ll find something you’ll like in there!” I walk into the armory and see a ‘Tommy’ gun as well as a sword that has the words “kill with kindness” engraved on the blade. “Oh my goodness! Thank You Blitzo! This helps so mu-'' I pause and wonder how he knows of my old fencing classes… “How did you?” 

He chuckles and shows me a scar on his shoulder. I then remember a fencing tournament I entered years ago and tore someone’s suit on the shoulder when fencing. “That was you!?” he chuckles as I get embarrassed.

I grab the Tommy gun and aim at the target. I fire and they are all dead shots hitting several targets in the head or heart. “Wow when you said you were good with it you weren’t kidding…” Blitzo responds in surprise.

 “Nice shooting!” Moxxie and Millie say when they see the bullet holes in the targets so I then sit down loading the gun onto my back and sheathing the sword on my side being careful not to tear the suit. Then take a seat at the table getting ready for something to happen. Blitzo sees this and takes a seat opposite me, “Where’d you get the suit Kid?” Blitzo says looking at the stitching on my suit… “I made it myself… I'm gonna be making Moxxie a suit and Millie a dress soon.” I answer but with a slight bit of nervousness, “Could you potentially make me one?” I nod to Blitzo to answer him and Blitzo quickly gestures for me to follow him, I follow him to his office and he draws the blinds.
