The Hitman.

Archive 1, Code: 006

Pov: Willian.

It's been a while.... I wonder what they are planning?

If my inner clock is right, it's about thirty minutes since Jonathan lead me to this room. And I've been waiting here since then.

I really don't care about what's about to happen to me, but time it's invaluable. For me especially.

???: " hey there fella. "

A man with.... Cat ears? Enters in the room, and begins to speak as if we are some kind of old friends....

???: " How you have been holding up? "

[ Warning! Warning! ]

Hm?

[ Boss level entity detected! ]

[ ' The Boss ' Sett! ]

[ Level: 89 ]

[ Danger level: High. ]

That's... New. I suppose.

Sett: " Man, you have no idea of the storm you have just created... Didn't we have a plan? Why did you that? No, better question, HOW you did that? "

Willian: " Should I... Know you, somehow? "

Sett: " Are you... Kidding me? "

Willian: " No. I don't know you. "

Sett: " Yeah, I am not buying that. "

Willian: " And I don't know you. Let's speed this up? If you are here to kill me, I would appreciate if you did this now. "

Sett: " Now, what the fuck it's wrong with you? You would never talk to me like that. "

Willian: " Would I? Why you say that? "

Sett: " because we are friends for like what? Four to five years. "

Willian: " Sorry, but I would remember if I have been friends with Someone so.... Unique. Like you. "

Sett: " Let me get this straight... Are you pulling a fucking amnesia card on me? "

Willian: " I suppose? So, care to enlighten me? Why did I wake up in the middle of a jail, and had to fight to death with a talking humanoid alligator? "

Sett: " You are not kidding, are you? "

Willian: " No. Why would I? "

Sett: " Fuck, even the way you talk is different.... "

Sett: " We don't have much time, so I will cut the chase. The old you fucked yup with someone you shouldn't have, and to save your skin, I pulled some strings, and was planning to fake your death. "

Willian: " I will be direct, can you let that person kill me? "

Sett: " As if amnesia isn't enough, now you have suicide tendencies? Yeah, not on my watch man. Even if you are not the you I know, I can't kill one of my own, understand? "

Willian: " It was worth trying, at least. "

Sett: " Even if I let you, that person wouldn't. You would probably end up in her bed instead. "

Willian: " So, a woman? "

Sett: " Yup. And a pretty powerful one at that. "

Willian: " What now then? We kill her? "

Sett: " Yeah, I will admit that the way you are talking it's giving me creeps right now. Your old self wouldn't have the balls to even think in killing. Even more less one of your Ex's. "

Willian: " Excuse me... But, Ex's? How many we are talking about? And what I did to end up like this? "

Sett: " long story short, you've been cheated, freak out, break up with your Ex's, yes you've been in a relationship with more than one woman, ran away, and asked my help to disappear from the map forever. "

Willian: " I can see many problems in your sentence, but let's address to the elephant in the room, what we do now? "

Sett: " Yeah, I don't know. Your little stunt earlier was recorded on live, so the whole fake death thing it's impossible now. "

Willian: " It's possible to fly under the radar now? Until the dust settle down. "

Sett: " Difficult. The whole show has my name all over it. And let's be honest? The plan working or not, I would still be questioned, and would have to pay a heavy price just to stay alive. Your Ex's are kind of... Crazy, you know. "

Willian: " A man like you should be overflowing with contacts. You don't have some favours to ask? I just need a place to stay away from the problems. "

Sett: " Yeah, I can do that. I will still have some hard time, but nothing I can't manege... I hope. "

Willian: " I'll owe you then. "

Sett: " Yeah, Yeah.... This talk it's not over let me remind you. But we talk about this later. Let me make one call. "

Sett takes his smartphone, and begun to call someone... Like I expected, to survive in this line of work, friends and contacts are not optional, but mandatory.

Sett: " hoi, Zed... It's me. I need a place.... "

I just hope this ends fast...
