Bullets. + Brashton

: trois :

Bryana Holly.

"No! I would never in my life work with a homicidal maniac like him!" Bryana screeches out a little too deafening, voice loud and defensive. She stands up on her feet in front of the three men and glares at them.

Marcus heaves out an exasperated sigh probably for the hundredth time that day and returns the glare, "Why do you have to be such a termagant and not let this skillful man be regarded as the surrogate for your job?"

"Because," Bryana breathes out and pauses to look at them straight in the eye, "I don't need him, and I certainly wouldn't want him." And she thinks maybe she sounded moronic and dumb, judging by the snort that Nicholas emits from the side.

"That's not a reason, Bryana." he says boldly, a disapproving look forming on his face. Maybe he too, did think that Bryana's quite nonsensical at this very moment. But he's a great guy and a great boss with a great killer that could expertly hit a target 35 meters away, and he just wants to feel no malice toward her. "And Ashton's still coming with you."

"What? No!" the blonde rushes out.

"You have no reason to terminate Nicholas' decision." Marcus says from the couch.

Bryana whines miserably and tries to protest, "but he... he molested me!"

"Excuse me," Ashton scoffs, noticeably offended. He sits up from where he was practically sitting on the couch and gives her an offended look. "That was a dimwitted act of confrontation. What more could you possibly want?"

Bryana doesn't over think to ignore him. She narrows her eyes at him, which only got him to respond with an exaggerated eye roll. Now for her, it feels like everyone's putting a weight on her shoulders. Then it might not be something, but it is something for her that the guy just kept on getting on her nerves that it's already becoming a little too much.

"As I was saying," Nicholas clears his throat once he manages to suspect the silent quarrel happening in the small distance created between the two. "Both of you are going to have to search for the funds of this man and afterwards, you'll know what you're supposed to do." he finishes and hands them out a picture of a middle-aged man.

Bryana groans out loudly and pulls Ashton with her toward the door, finally accepting defeat and dragging him out into her world filled with thrills and ecstatic crimes.
