Blitz had called a meeting. This had been one of the first meetings we'd scheduled in a month-ish following the... heated relations with that horny arse bird demon. Business before wasn't big, but it was decent. At least 2-3 clients a week who would pay decently and now we would be lucky to get anyone.

"Alright, I know business has been a bit slow... lately, and it's no one's fault. I'm not naming any names here, Moxxie. Now does anyone have any bright ideas on how we can get business drumming up again?" Blitzo had slowly paced around the room, trying to think up ways we could bring in money before locking eyes with me. I shrugged and went back to pondering over the budget money.

"OO-oh what about a billboard?" Blitz's eyes sparkled as he waved his hands. When Moxxie spoke up about being unable to afford this master idea of his, he was quick to shut down the grumbling imp. I listened to them quarrel about theatre dreams and assholes before speaking up to put in an idea. "Well, what we need is more positive reviews. What if we made another ad on top of the one we have now but with customer input?" It was worth a shot, anyway.

Moxxie crossed his arms and grumbled back, "Where do you think we're going to find another customer?" He really can be a wet cloth, huh?

"Ask around, I'm sure there are plenty of desperate souls or whatever." I rolled my eyes "It'll be best to avoid asking for payment with at least one, considering we want positive reviews."

"Won't that just encourage more and make them think our service is free" He continued to whine and groan in irritation at his boss. Blitz slammed his hands on the table scaring Moxxie and disturbing my Zen moment. His large eyes and wide smile excited and happy about the coming events.

"Shut up Mox, You're right! We'll find the first person on the street and offer them a one-time-only coupon! And since we have such a great camera gal-" He gestured my way before continuing "We'll have customers ramming up our asses!" With that, he pretty much dragged us outside to the streets below. I nearly had time to grab my cheap but effective camera before almost being thrown at the first person we saw.

It seemed to be a big tall brute, and once we told him of our offer he paused for a moment, Rubbing his chin before nodding and accepting our generous proposition. Out of nowhere, Blitz gave this oversized douche a sign and gave me the signal to start recording.

"After lovingly killing my wife for fucking the delivery man,  you could imagine my surprise when I wound up here after the state of Ohio killed me" I was watching how this guy was getting heated with his story so I took a step back just in case he swung at me. Intentional or not. "I really wish I could stick it to that yappy jogger who saw me hiding the body." I'm pretty sure some of his spit came flying at me, which was gross, but I kept calm for the sake of my boss. Is that what I should call him? Even after...

"So, who are we looking for?" I asked, Still unsure of who our target was. Most people give grand descriptions of those they want dead—name, age range, looks and even where they live, as crazy as it sounds. We were currently positioned in some shrubbery that only just hid all four of us.

In the split second I looked over to blitz, I noticed he was playing with a little horse figurine. At first, it began to make me angry, being distracted on duty, he was exactly like Moxxie but when I realised it was the Pink and blue one I bought for him, I smiled. "Loonie said, with short brown hair, light skin and short stature." I expected more of a description, but I guess not.

"Do we even have an address, sir?" Moxxie's sarcasm went unappreciated. Blitz didn't have anything to say, so he continued to drag us from bush to bush. It was the middle of the day and I'm wearing black. I'm sweating balls while Moxxie won't shut up, I wish I could just go home and sit in front of the fan. Millie and I both had the same look, tiered and over it.

"Oh look, here they come now, Moxxie get ready"  Blitz pointed out the walking figure, we all watched as they stopped to stretch conveniently in front of our little hiding spot. If that's what you can call it.  Millie kissed Moxxies cheek and patted his shoulder encouragingly before she spoke "You can do this sweety." I watched as he was straightening up his slightly dodgy shotgun, lining up for the perfect shot...

"Are you sure this is the right one?" Moxxie stopped for a second to turn to Blitz. The smirk Blitzo had, changed from excitement to pissed in a matter of seconds.

Blitz pushed the rifle's barrel back into the bush in an attempt to get Moxxie back on task, "Oh for fuck sake, Yes! Now take the shot!" Moxxie and blitz kept pushing back and forth with the gun. I wish we could go one day without even a small bitchy comment or argument but I guess that's what I get for being in hell.

"Loona didn't even give us a proper description! how are we supposed to know if our target is a woman!" Moxxie protested. I can see where he's coming from, making sure it's the right person and all but on the other hand I really couldn't give a fuck and wanted to get home.

With the rustling of the bush even I know we were going to get noticed. That is if their squabbling didn't get us caught anyway. In an attempt to stop this idiotic fight I gripped the barrel of the gun to push it down, it caused Moxxie to pull the trigger and a bang went off.

Not only did we miss "the target" but we hit someone completely different. Shit.
