"He was barely eighteen..." you muttered, glaring into your boss's eyes.
Garmadon's eyebrow raised as his lip curled upwards slightly. His look in his eyes was nothing but pure evil. Everyone knew the truth about the death of your best friend. Everyone knew, but you. "Who?" he asked. He wanted you to say his name aloud, just so that he can watch you pierce blades through your own skin at the mention of his name.
"Lloyd Garmadon. I know the truth now, Garmadon. You murdered your own fucking son!!" You yelled, the gun still fixated towards your boss.
"I did what I had to do..." his grim smirk remained on his face as he snarled those words.
Kai furrowed his eyebrows. His back was still against yours and his weapon was still pointing at the other hitmen. Kai scoffed, "You killed our best friend. Your own fucking son. And this is what you fucking dare to say??"
"I suggest you bite your tongue, Kai Smith." He walked around you and looked Kai in the eyes. He inspected Kai's focused expression which avoided Garmadon's eyes. "You know, you remind me so much of your father. He was a dear friend, too. I almost feel sorry that you have to die this way." As he walked back to where he first was, he said, "Surrounded, helpless, alone, tangled up in guilt and regret that you couldn't save your bratty friend."
Your blood boiled. Lloyd was the most pure-hearted person you ever met. You would've pulled the trigger right now if you weren't surrounded by his gang members. If you shoot first, they will not hesitate to do so too. You had to hold your fire. Where was Kai's dad? And the cops?
Garmadon took a few steps closer to you. You held the handle of my pistol tighter, anger burning inside you, waiting to be let out like an animal from its cage.
"Y/n... You don't have to end up like Lloyd. You still have a choice. You can still come back to us. I'm giving you that opportunity. I suggest you not to waste it..."
You thought for a moment before formulating another idea in your head. You sighed and hesitantly lowered your weapon. "Fine. You win."
Kai lightly turned your head your way. "What are you doing? I thought we-" You put your gun away and stood next to Garmadon.
"Very well..." Kai was still facing away from you. He lowered his weapon, but didn't let go. His eyebrows furrowed in frustration. Kai felt his heart rip open from your betrayal. He was breathing so heavily that you could see his shoulders shift with every breath he took. Garmadon sent a hand signal which commanded the hitman to lower their weapons. Kai was confused but didn't look back.
Garmadon cocked his gun back and raised his arm, aiming right at Kai's head. Kai flinched at the sound of the gun. "Keep your enemies closer," Kai repeated your phrase in his head. I should've known she'd betray me one way or another. That bastard killed her and my best friend... this doesn't make any sense. Why go back to the person who hurt you? And here I thought she was different. I thought I convinced her enough to leave that group of villains. If only Lloyd was here to talk her out of it... I promised that I'd do that for him and I failed him...
Various negative emotions flooded Kai's mind: anger, sadness, guilt, regret, frustration and worst of all, betrayal and heartbreak. Lloyd never told him about you and never mentioned your name to him either. The only thing he said, was "My best friend works with my dad too. I don't think (he/she) notices how horrible my father is. Not only to me, but to other people too. Since I'm with you guys, my only mission is to talk (him/her) out of it. Convince (him/her) to leave..."
The moment Kai saw you, butterflies flooded his stomach. Every word you said made his heart open up bit by bit. He let you in. The dancing... He couldn't avert his gaze from you. You are the most beautiful person Kai has ever seen. He wanted nothing more than to spend time with you, although you barely even met. He wanted to be more than just a target and an assassin.
