Lethal Assassin {Mark, Jack, Dan, Phil, Ethan, Natewantstobattle, MatPat}

Waiting

I woke up laying on the cold ground. High above me were rotting wood and metal support beams that held up a decaying roof. Moonlight was shining through the holes in the building as well as the broken windows. The location then clicked in my brain. I was in the Battersea Power Station, where my boss and team members were meeting The Crimson Killers with one million pounds. However, I knew they would not bring one million pounds. That was just agreed so we could get the gang arrested.

I sat up quickly, taking a look around and judging if I wanted to make an escape plan or not. That train of thought was interrupted by the clicking sound of a gun being reloaded.

"Do not even think about running away Y/N." Ethan warned from behind me.

I turned around to face the blue haired man. "You will not kill me. This is a chance for you to get one million pounds."

He stiffened at my words. "Do not test me."

I decided to try a different approach. "How old are you?"

"Early twenties. Why do you care?" He replied.

"Early twenties." I began. "You are young. You have so much more ahead of you yet in life. You should not let those other guys ruin anything for you. You could get an actual job and not let them control you, because currently, you are a criminal."

He sat down next to me, however did not let the gun turn away from me. "I am a criminal, and I am happy with that. We are doing very well for ourselves. Even if I did try to get a proper job, I would probably not get hired because of what I am doing. They would know."

"Which is exactly why you should get yourself out of this mess now Ethan. What happens if they were to ever die, or get captured, or maybe even turn on you? What would you do?" I continued.

"I, uh, never thought of that before." He said, a slight amount of guilt present in his voice.

I gave him a half smile. "I would honestly leave them now. You never know if they could turn on you. You are the youngest one in the group...extra baggage to carry around. Someone that they need to look after. Just think about it. They are about to receive one million pounds, why would they need you any longer?"

He looked down at the ground, placing the gun on his lap. "You do have a point. But, where would I go? They are like family to me, and I have a place to live with them. If I am on my own, I have nothing."

"That is not true." I answered. "You could come with me. You could join my team and fight against crime. My boss can provide you with everything."

Ethan looked up at me. "Really?"

"Of course." I replied. I then reached for the gun on his lap and pointed it towards him as I stood up. There was a pain coming from my leg, and I remembered that was where a knife or something like that was thrown during the chase in St. James park.

"Y/N, what are you doing?!" He exclaimed.

I laughed. "I am a spy, I know how to sweet talk people."

"What about our whole conversation?" He questioned.

I let out a sigh. "Do you really think you could get away from crime that easily? I would never let a criminal join my group, and neither would my boss."

"Mark! Matthew! Nathan!" He yelled, trying to get their attention from wherever they were.

There were fast footsteps, then Mark ran out of somewhere and stood ten meters in front of me, gun aimed. I aimed mine directly at him, waiting for the first move.

"Drop it." The red haired man ordered.

"Not a chance." I responded confidently.

He took a couple steps forward. "I will shoot Y/N."

I let out a small laugh. "Face it Mark, you will not shoot me. If you shoot, you will not get the one million pounds that you so desire."

"I will receive it. I always get what I want." He retorted.

By this point, Nathan had made his way beside Mark.

"You will not ruin any of my plans." He continued.

I smiled. "Oh, but I already have."

"How so?"

"Well, you know those papers you were holding onto back at your place? I have already sent pictures of them all to my boss, from where they were sent straight to the police. Everyone knows your plans. You cannot hide any longer. You are through." I stated.

I noticed Mark's eye twitch, and it looked like he was calculating his next move. Suddenly, there was a gunshot and the gun I was holding was thrown out of my hand. I looked over to my side to see Matthew standing with a gun aimed at me.

"Why not tell us about your organization. We have some time before your boss and the others show up." Nathan suggested, breaking the silence hanging in the air. "Perhaps also where the headquarters are located."

"Over my dead body." I replied, crossing my arms.

"You are quite the stubborn one." Matthew commented, taking a couple steps forward.

Mark let out a sigh. He pulled the trigger on his gun, and a bullet entered the already present wound on my leg. However, it was a calculated shot so it did not go too far in. I deduced that the damage would not be too bad.

My knees buckled and pain shot throughout my body, sending me to the ground.

"I told you I would not hesitate to shoot you." Mark said gleefully as he strolled away towards the front entrance of the abandoned building.

"Come along Matthew, let us keep watch for our soon arriving company." He added as he continued.

Matthew glanced at me once more before running off behind the red haired man.

Nathan and Ethan made their way over to me.

"I know what you want and I am telling you right now, I am not saying anything to either of you." I told them firmly.

Nathan did a quick fake laugh. "Oh, this is no longer a matter of you willing to tell us Y/N."

He reached down and grabbed my arm, pulling me up to a standing position. The second my body weight transferred onto my injured leg, I collapsed again. The raven haired man caught my fall and proceeded to drag me to a different area of the power station with Ethan following behind.

I knew what was about to happen. I was injured and tired, and I knew I would not be able to fight them off any longer. I also knew that my boss and team would be here soon to get me out of this mess and bring The Crimson Killers to justice. I only needed to hold on for a little longer.
