Chapter 2: You Get the Mop, I'll Get the Money

Chapter 2: 

You Get the Mop, I'll Get the Money

You drop the sleek black bag on the marble countertop in front of the man with an audible thump.

It had been a long trip after you had assassinated Takaoka, but at the end, you stopped at a tea shop on the side of the road. You and your sister had nodded to the shop owner as you both entered the store and entered the back door.

The cozy interior didn't continue into the basement. You walked down the stairs into a morgue that was dark gray with two walls completely covered in morgue shelves. The body collector had greeted you and motioned for you to lay the body on the examination counter.

There was an awkward silence between the man, you, and your twin.

Then he raises an eyebrow at the body bag. "So, who is it this time?"

"Takaoka," you replied lazily. Your twin sister stood next to you, pushed up her glasses, and continued, "-and his body."

The man nodded and turning to his two personal employees, commanded,"Take the body to be analyzed."

They nodded and as the two whisked the body away, he turned back to your sister and you. "Quick work as usual. Thank you," he said with a gruff tone.

You shrugged as your sister responded for the both of you, "No, thank you, Gou."

Your sister and Gou laughed as you rolled your eyes and stuffed your hands in your pockets. You didn't understand what was to laugh about. All they did was thank each other.

Well, he did lend his men to help you two out..

Jeez.

This is why you hardly talk to your clients.

However, Tsuchihara Gou, was different.

He was a middle aged, short man with shaggy gray hair who ran an innocent tea shop, but he didn't just run a tea shop, he was also in charge of a Blacklist, targeting the most infamous, most notorious criminals and assassins. He was also sort of an acquaintance of your sister and you. His blacklist was the reason why you took out Takaoka. Apparently, the stupid sociopath was worth some big bucks.

Your sister and Gou continued to chat until a few minutes later, one of Gou's assistants came back. Gou excused himself as they retreated to the back room for a bit.

It was that moment when a burly man chose to enter the shop, dragging a body behind him and leaving a trail of scarlet behind him.

It was a good thing it was late at night.

Your sister and you stood aside as the man dropped the battered body onto the black marble counter. Finally, he noticed you and your sister and, in a not-so-polite tone, demanded, "Where's Tsuchihara?"

You merely shrugged, but your sister answered, "He went out back."

"Well, call him over here," he ordered you, glaring. "I got something for him."

"We got here first, just wait," you defied him calmly.

The man fumed as he glared daggers at you, while you merely gave him a condescending stare. Your sister watched as electricity practically crackled between the two of you.

"Wait, I know you two," the man realized. He smirked. "You're the hitman duo, Double Trouble."

You raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Yeah, so what?"
