It was late as Cross and RX arrived back at the complex with the anesthetic gas that was loaded in the back of the truck. The two carried it in along with some other medical equipment to find Silence in a room in the back with Ashes there. "I'm ready... I hope," said Silence a little concerned.
"You okay? You sound frazzled," said RX.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be fine. It's just..." said Silence.
"We were talking about his use of Kingslayer... that's the name of the gun right?" Asked Ashes.
"Yeah, it is. It's not every day the guy who's trying to kill you sits down and has a heart to heart with you," said Silence.
"I was more concerned about that gun taking him over and killing everyone," said Ashes.
"That too, but I'm trying not to think about that part," said Silence with a heavy sigh. "Either way, let's drug me so I can forget that idea."
"That's not a good way to deal with the situation," said RX as he set up the equipment.
"Either way we need to do this," said Cross as she got Silence to lay back.
"Right, I'll leave you too it," said Ashes as he headed for the door.
"What, no bedtime story?" Asked Silence trying to hide his fear. Ashes rolled his eyes as he went into the lobby where everyone else was. They had gathered around a table and were plotting out the assassination.
"So, we're going to report that you guys stopped us so he'll be urged to go down there and try again. That's when you guys show up with the police to try and stop him. We'll shoot him in the back and then duck down the hole where you guys will give chase. You'll have to set up a perimeter and we'll be running with our guns empty by then. We go to the Puppeteer, knock him out, and you guys move in to stop him," said Valor.
"Sounds simple," said Inferno. "How'd you think that one out."
"We discussed it on the way over here," said Seeker.
"That and a lot of jokes," said Spire.
"You guys are a lot of fun when you're plotting assassinations and murders," said Schloss.
"You should see us on our days off," said Mirazh.
"So many sessions zere," said Cerberus.
"You're a shrink?" Asked Spire.
"Psychologist, ja, why?" Asked Cerberus.
"I'm just saying this because I'm sure a number of us are thinking it... We think that Silence might not be as crazy as he thinks," said Spire.
"I'm sorry, what?" Asked Cerberus.
"He says that he's crazy but he hasn't shown signs of being crazy other than being somewhat unusual in terms of social engagement," said Valor. "He doesn't show sings of anything we could search online. We were thinking that maybe someone that has some training could explain this."
"Well zen, I can try and..." said Cerberus, only to be interrupted by a sudden crash and a door slamming open.
"What the fuck?" Asked Ashes as he got up. Everyone turned to see Silence walking through the doorway, carrying Cross and RX through the doorway, both asleep.
"SILENCE WHAT THE FUCK!?" Asked Valor.
"Sorry there Ten, but Silence is still asleep," said Silence.
"What?" Asked Valor. Silence's eyes shot open to revealing fiery red eyes and flames coming through his teeth of a demonic smile.
"OH SHIT!" Called out Seeker as he grabbed his pistol.
