While Smiley was sleeping Victor was cleaning and preparing the weapons for their next kill. Victor already knew who the poor victim was and he planned on telling Smiley when he awoke. He also was planning how he wanted these few days to go.

"I really need to get rid of this knife..." he whispered. The knife in question was glued at the handle to prevent the blade from flying off. He kept thinking of methods to kill their last victim, know that he wanted to to be an extremely painful death because the person deserved it. He knew that Smiley would be shocked to find out that a person he knew was going to die and that it would be his last time killing someone. Or that's what Victor thought, he doesn't really understand how the company does things. 2:15 AM. Almost a month ago he tied Smiley to a chair and let George watch as he cut the boy's arm off. Then he killed George. He wanted to help Smiley. But the boy didn't need help.

Hours later Smiley woke up and got dressed.

"Hey Victor!"

"Good morning, love..."

Smiley was confused. Victor looked upset, his eyes were watery.

"What's wrong, Sir?" Smiley wanted to know what was making Victor so sad.

"Well...we got another victim. It's someone you know though. Boss said it was our last kill for now too." Victor explained.

"It's someone I know...? And what do you mean it's our last one for now? Aren't we getting like 10 submissions per day? Amazon can't do it on their own! They're good but not that good."
(Amazon is a nickname they gave to Alex and Zane because of their names)

"Boss said that since the guy is someone you know he said that he wanted you to take a break before killing again. And yeah I already talked to Alex and he said that he's gonna take care of all other kills while you're on break." Victor told him.

"But who is the guy?"

This is the one thing that he didn't want to tell Smiley. He didn't want Smiley to know what was going to happen in the next 24 hours.

"I need you to sit down for this okay? And you can ask any questions after I tell you who it is. The guy is...me." Victor didn't expect the reaction he received from Smiley. He was expecting Smiley to be happy that he was becoming free, but instead he was hit with a hug followed with a wave of questions.

"Why?!" Smiley asked.

"I talked to Boss. I told him that I'm just not fit to do this anymore. The hallucinations and voices are getting louder and I'm going to end up killing you one day." Victor whispered.

"But why can't you just quit?" Smiley said in between sobs.

"I'm more likely to stalk you or something. And if I quit you're going to have to move out and you have nowhere to go. So when the execution happens, I'm leaving everything I own for you." Victor felt horrible for telling Smiley but he needed to know.

"Am I going to be the one killing you?"

"If you want to be." Victor muttered. When the words left Victor's mouth Smiley tighten his grip around Victor's waist.

"I don't want you to die." Smiley cried. "I don't want to lost you Victor."

"You're not losing me...I'll be here with you. Just not physically." Victor replied.

For the rest of the day, Smiley followed Victor where ever he went. It was like a mother duck with her duckling. Victor made sure that Smiley was okay and distracted him from the idea that this was Victor's last day. Until the sun set...

"So are you going to do it?" Victor asked. Smiley nodded. The boy decided that he wanted to be the one to take Victor's life.

"Okay. Well it's almost time."

4 hours later and it was time. Smiley needed the support from the rest of the company and surprisingly everyone made it. From Alex and Zane to Helena and Oliver. Everyone was there for Victor's final moments.

"Are you ready, Everest?" Oliver asked.

"Can I say something first?"

Oliver nodded.

"Victor. I am so sorry for everything I've ever done wrong. I hope that I was enough to fulfill your need of getting rid of horrible people in this nasty world...I never hated you by the way. I know you thought that I did...well that's all I have to say. I'll probably think of something later but it'll be too late then. Haha...so this is goodbye I guess." Smiley started to tear up.

"You don't have to do this, sweetheart." Helena whispered.

"No. I'm the one who's gonna give him a shot in the head. I tried..." Smiley's voice trailed off.

"This isn't goodbye, my love." Victor told him.

"Yes it is...I'll never see you again. But I'll make sure that every victim after this dances to the tune of your death...just like you said that you'll do if I ever died." Smiley was crying at this point.

"Well Victor, you left a legacy that will never be forgotten. You paved the way  when it comes to getting rid of the disgusting people in this cruel world and we will be eternally grateful for that. You shaped the way this company is organized and we will forever remember that. Wipe out inc. wishes you the best in the afterlife." Oliver said.

"Shoot me, darling." was the last thing Victor said. Smiley pulled the trigger and collapsed on the floor crying after Victor took his last breath.

"This isn't goodbye, my love."
