HYBRID

CHAPTER 4- Death at Midnight

Elfridge Drive 416.

A bit of a large blue house with a well- kept blooming garden of ornamental crops and a sparkling clean lawn and walkway. 

It was a quaint little place.

Well, that's what Todd thought anyway, looking down from the rooftop of it.

He wasn't here for the scenery or to scout the house, though, especially at night.

He was here to eliminate someone living inside of it.

His companion looked at him, his grey eyes piercing through him.

"What?" Todd said through their mind link.

"Let's go, and only use the mind link," his companion replied ignoring the question.

They moved to the south side of the house away from prying eyes and landed on a balcony, soundlessly. Todd's nails silently extended into claws and silently cut a circular hole through the glass door. Removing the glass, his hand went through and unlocked the door. The glass reflected his young beautiful face.

They had quietly entered, only the sound of a sudden gust of wind could be heard. It blew through the other man's black hair, unsettling it. He pulled a long, black, silky strand into place.

Todd looked around. The room they were in looked like- a typical teenager's room- only it was clean.

The bed made, game consoles put away.

Todd shivered. This entire place was too clean. It disgusted him. At least, he'd get to smear it with crimson, soon enough.

They both advanced at inhuman speed, through the bedroom and separated, scouring the entire house, silently, for their target.

"Found it,''

Todd heard his companion through the mind link.

Todd reappeared next to him. "Where Pierce?''

"Here,'' the man said.

Todd turned. ''What the hell am I looking at?"

Pierce replied. ''An ancient Oriental vase. It's a rare collectors item. Can I keep it?"

Todd pinched the bridge of his nose. "Are you kidding me?"

''No,'' Pierce pouted. ''We have to make it look like a robbery afterwards, so I'm just looking for good stuff,"

Oh great, now he's trying to justify himself, Todd thought.

''We have a job to do. How about we get rid off the target first? Then you can look through this worthless humans 'valuable' stuff okay? And why the hell do I have to work with you anyways!You haven't even done your job yet!"
This guy was exhausting.

"The house is empty and I have found it. Their in the seemingly master Bedroom," Pierce replied through the mind link, ignoring the question again.

Todd felt like he'd been slapped. "Wait, if you found the target, then why did you show me a stupid pot?"

"Its a vase, not a pot and because I felt like it," the other male pouted giving the vase one last glance before moving. ''Follow me,''

In a second, they both stood outside a brown mahogany door.

"When I give the word," Pierce said telepathically.
