Midnight Desires

The sun had already left it's place to the moon and nature was sleeping. The sky was decorated with stars and an elegantly shining moon. The wind played with leaves and people's hair as ocean danced.

Everything was peaceful except for the city. The city seemed like a drunk party animal. People cheering and laughing out in the streets, small restaurants bursting with lights, pubs full with drunk people more than ever...

It didn't matter for the man in the black. If you think about it, it was an advantage for him. With a crowd, he could blend in perfectly. No one gave a crap about him, everyone was busy having fun.

Although the crowd was as slow as a snail. People tended to stop to look at a random thing and the street wasn't the widest one...

The man sighed and decided to take a short cut. With these sloths, he would be late. Knowing that he won't make it out by being nice, he elbowed and pushed people until he reached a dark alley.

"Perfect." He thought as he started running.

***
He finally reached his destination: the stripper club. He wasn't there to have fun, he was there to assassinate his client's target.

As agile and quiet as a cat, the man made it in. The guards didn't even notice the shift in the air. The man wanted to chuckle or laugh how bad they were at their jobs but he didn't. That would be too risky and cocky.

Carefully he hid in a shadow and observed his surroundings. As he had guessed, there were poles with men dancing on it, some drunk or sober women throwing money and of course a bar. The lights, to his luck, was purple and red. It was easy for him to hide, it meant. The lights merged with the shadows, even an idiot would be able to hide.

One side of his lips curled upwards as the man spotted the host. His plan was to act like a client and get to his target. Not to attract any attention, he kindly pushed people out of his way and made it to the host.

The host had a name card, written "Hu Tao" on it, like the other strippers. And only men stripped here so the woman had to be the host.

Since he was used to the dark places, he could tell the features of the host. She was brunette and had crimson eyes, she had some wrinkles covering her face, she wore a formal outfit and she was small. So if he had to kill the host, he could easily do so and nobody would notice until the morning.

"Miss Hu?" The man asked. The woman didn't even notice he was there! The woman let out a little scream before sighing. "Aiyah! Don't scare me like that!" She warned. "My bad. I was just here to rent a certain man," The man said.

"Ah you are gay," The brunette said with shock. "Yes," The man said without hesitation. "If others find out that I said such thing for the job, I would be humiliated! Gosh, do I hate my co-workers..." The man thought.

"Hmm, well customer is customer! To your luck, we do have that kind of service! But only for this night, you know? What is your offer and who?" She asked.

"Depending on my satisfaction, I will pay you handsomely." He said as he took a heavy pouch from his belt. It was a risky move since he kept his pouch and knifes next to each other, but to his luck the knifes didn't shine much as his cape  left an opening.

"Accepted. And who will do the honors?" The woman asked as a sly smirk covered her face.

"Zhongli."

"Well nobody told me that you were this hot."

As brunette turned around, he faced a man in blacks. "Are you suppose to be my client?" Brunette said as he slowly blinked. "I thought I told Miss Hu that I would be leaving..." He trailed off, deep in thoughts.
