I do very bad things and I do
them very well...I walk besides Diayu stepping over the hazard tape. Glass starts to breaks under my feet as we walk closer until we finally enter the building to see police officers taking pictures and asking bystanders questions.
"Diayu." She hums and turns to look at me when I call her name with her hands close to her gun just in case she needs to pull it out in an emergency. "Please tell me why there are still cops at my bank." I smile at her but it's an empty one as my eyes are cold showing the chaos behind them. I rub my temple and she looks around trying to pick an answer that will best satisfy me.
"Well because the crime only happened yester-" "Shut up." She looks at me taken back and I wave my hand to silence her. "I was being rhetorical, But please tell me WHY THE FUCK ARE POLICE OFFICERS STILL IN THIS AREA!" I yell at her and people stop to look over at us and I pull on her arm as we walk closer to the bank.
Nikolai~ you know why there are police here, because you've been a bad boy ~
"Shut up." I rub my face and Diayu looks at me and yanks her arm out of my grip and moves back slightly. "I didn't say anything."
Everyone's watching~ what will you do now?
"I Said Shut The Fuck Up!" I yell shooting my gun into the air and Diayu flinches back at the noise but people start to scream while the cops surrounding try to find the source of the gun as I tuck it back into my holster and I finally calm down. "That's better." I mumble and sigh as the noise clouds my thoughts.
Diayu stares at me in shock and confusion at my actions and I light a cigar and place it in my mouth before puffing it out.
A short Latina woman with a badge on for the Caracas Venezuela police pushes through the crowd until she sees me standing there like I didn't just shoot a bullet in the air and she looks over and frowns at us.
"Mr Cross." She clears her throat and and looks me up and down with disgust and I narrow my eyes at her. "Carla." She tenses when I call her by her first name instead of showing respect like she did me.
"I didn't know you were running this case." I look around and she just nods. "Yes well I asked to be assigned it since I've been involved with you before I thought it would be better if I took it." She says hastily and pulls on her tie slightly.
"Is that it? Well then surely you must know I reached out to your department to drop it and hand it over to me." I chuckle and clasp my hands together smiling at her slightly but it doesn't quite reach my eyes as a dark gleam shines in them.
She looks around uneasy leaning from one foot to the other. "I've...heard but they thought it was in your best interest for me to keep the case." She rubs the back of her neck and I run a hand through my hair trying to control my temper as we're in public.
"I see, so we've come to a cross road." I sigh "I suppose you won't be handing it over to me." I look back over to her and I see her body relax slightly. "I'll just take it by force then." At that moment Diayu shoots a bullet through her head before anyone can react and screaming and bullets can be heard in the background.
A door swings open and we both look over to Leo walking in confidently with sunglasses on and a lollipop in his mouth with his white dress shirt tainted red slightly from blood.
"This is a little too public even for me especially since I was in the middle of something." Leo runs a hand through his hair and tries to fix his pants discreetly before coming up behind me to pat my back "You know how it is." His eyes twinkle with mischief and I glare at his hand on my shoulder before he steps back and raises his hand's defensively.
With a white dress shirt and black pants, a gold watch and sunglasses on, he's the perfect definition of a white beach boy besides being a criminal and one of the best snipers alive after Dante Agosti who I haven't gotten the chance to meet yet.
"Boss." I raise my head to look over to Diayu looking around at the chaos unfolding around us and I smile at the gunshots that are being fired by my team.
"We need to get going so if you done causing a panic?" She nods towards the back of the building so we don't get caught in the crossfire but before I follow her, I light a cigarette blowing into it before dropping it and scuffing it out. "Yeah yeah." I mumble and follow after her with Leo following close behind.

We pull up to my private hangar where my Jet is gonna take us back to the states and I get out of the jeep and I walk up, a flight attendant waits at the bottom of the steps with a smile.
"Mr Cross, the plane is ready when you are just waiting for the green light." Diayu and Leo hop out after me and walk behind eyeing her suspiciously. "Don't worry this is Maggie, I've worked with her before." I kiss the back of her hand and she giggles.
"Oh Mr Cross." She bites her lip and is about to step forward before Diayu elbows her out of the way. "Move, you're in the way." She pulls on my suit before I can stop her and Leo hands the attendant a piece of paper before winking which she blushes at.
I get settled in my seat and Diayu immediately puts earbuds in scrolling on her phone bored. Leo stays back flirting up a storm while I stay in my seat closing my eyes trying to get some sleep before we land.
This is your Captain speaking, we will be taking off in a few moments so please buckle up and stay seated until that light flashes off
After a few more moments the plane finally starts to move and I grip the chair tighter with a clenched jaw and I count in my head.
The plane rocks from the turbulence and I grip tighter on the handles until my knuckles go white before we finally even out and I let out a soft sigh.
I open my eyes to see Leo walking pass with the flight attendant on his arm and he winks at me before going into the bathroom.
This is gonna be a long flight.
