Wilbur POV

He sees Quackity pause and look shocked as the person on the roof races away.
Wilbur quickly shoots at the person getting away but misses due to the far range.
The assassin man disappears.

Quackity just keeps standing there silently, staring blankly at the spot on the roof the assassin was in.

It's quiet for a long moment before Wilbur calls for phase two and they send the helicopter down to release Karl and Nick.

Quackity POV

He sits quietly in the helicopter with Wilbur. The two spies are down below collecting all the money they can find.
The helicopter hovers quietly, far above the buildings. Wilbur's eyes are fixed on the floor, even he seems down.
Quackity doesn't know what to do or say and he doesn't want to have to speak. His thoughts are filled with the figure on the building who had fled.

It was Luzu, it had to be.
He tells himself.

There's no one else it could have been, he recognized the face. He also knows Wilbur is going to ask about it any second so he needs to come up with some sort of lie. He can't have his duo know that Luzu is out there. He wonders if he was recognized and hopes not, but his wings were out.
A chill goes down his spine. It feels like Luzu is hunting for him, and now he's been found.

Soon Nick and Karl are back in the helicopter with all the money bags and cases, there was more hidden around the estate as well.

"Woah, that's a whole lot of cash," Wilbur's eyes widen.

"I know right!" Karl grins. "That was one good mission, we will get a lot of payment for this."

Quackity shakes his head in awe, he still can't wrap his head around the fact everyone here gets paid. He goes back to silence after that and eventually everyone else goes quiet as well.
He catches Wilbur looking at him curiously and he clenches his fists.

He's going to ask...

-----

That night as the two are sitting in bed Wilbur finally speaks up.
"So... who was that guy?"

Quackity sighs and struggles to come up with what to say. He feels like he can't tell the whole truth, not yet. He doesn't trust Wilbur.

"He looked like he came from my old agency. I couldn't quite recognize him though, he was quick. Maybe he's a new recruit."

"Do you think he is hunting for you?" the taller male asks. "Wait... but how would he know where we were...?"

"I don't know," Quackity murmurs truthfully.

It's in that moment he remembers the extra tracker on his main gun...

Killing a Billionaire

Wilbur POV

"There is no way I'm doing this," Quackity refuses the mission entirely. Wilbur gapes at him because he's refusing a direct mission order from the commander.

"It's a suicide mission," the shorter male continues.

"Everything is set up for you," the commander replies calmly.
