Chapter Six: Unexpected Job Opportunities

- Five Years Later -

We made a name for ourselves, in the Underground. Somehow, our small rag tag group of juveniles had become notorious thugs in the underground. We have murdered, stolen, and became wanted in the Underground. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

"(N/N)~ We have a new job opportunity.", Louis said to me in a cocky tone. "What is it?", I asked uninterested. "If we murder Aaron Lincoln (idk first name that came to mind XD), we can get 2,000$.", Miguel said quietly. Aaron Lincoln was a corrupt bastard. He was one of the biggest officials in the Underground, yet he could he bribed very easily. "How do you know it's legit?", I asked doubtful of this request. "Only criminals know who to ask, and where to find people to get jobs.", Louis said matter-of-factly. He's right, you have to have a criminal background in order to know who is right to ask for jobs. "Fine.", I said. I still had my doubts about this job, but I figured it was safe to do.

We decided to act on the job the next day. Of course, I'd be the one actually doing the killing. I was the only one in the group who could actually stomach the murder. We didn't want Grace doing it because she was still young, and so was Gabrielle. Neither Louis nor Miguel could bring themselves to do it. So that left me. I always acted on the murder the same way. I would sneak up behind the person when they are alone, and slice their throat. Nothing fancy. Do I enjoy killing? No. Do I understand it has to be done? Yes. Who knows one day someone might put a hit on me to be killed. The thought made me grin.

We spent the night preparing. I sharpened my knives. Gabrielle relaxed and mentally prepared herself, as she'd be standing watch. Grace had a small knife in case things went South with her and Gabrielle, that she sharpened. Miguel had an old gun he bought, he cleaned it and packed some extra bullets. Louis made sure our 3DM Gear was ready to use, and was clean.

After finishing, I went and sat outside. "You nervous about tomorrow?", Louis asked behind me. "No. I'm not.", I said sadly. It was true, I was not nervous. It was sad to think about how due to our selfish desires, this man's life would be over. "How do you do it?", He asked sitting beside me. "I just remind myself, that I'm doing what's necessary to survive. I count to three, say a prayer for his life, and before I can change my mind I cut his throat.", I said looking out upon the city. "Is it really that simple?", He questioned. "No, it's really not.", I said looking at him.

For the first time, I noticed how much we both changed since we became friends. His hair has grown just above his eyes, and his naturally blonde hair has darkened a bit. He is still taller than me, but I'm still faster than he is. I noticed that my (H/C) hair, has grown to reach my waist. I am also, a lot more skilled than I use to be. I can protect myself, and no one doubts I can.

"Can I help you~ (N/N)?", Louis asked grinning, "I mean, I understand I'm quite the charmer, but I'm getting quite self conscious with you checking me out.". I punched him in the arm, "Don't flatter yourself.", I said rolling my eyes. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

I woke up on the couch in the living room the next morning. I sat up, and stretched, not caring if I made noise. Damn today is the day. "You fell asleep on me last night, but I woke you up and you slept in here.", Louis said, popping his head out of the kitchen when he realized I was awake. "I figured.", I said rolling my eyes.

Soon enough, everyone was awake. We were all bustling around the house to make sure we had our last minute things packed, and headed out the door. Miguel, Louis, and I all had on our 3DM Gear, and made sure to fill it with gas. As we headed out the door, I grabbed a black cloak and slid it on in order to conceal my identity, even though we we already wanted. "What's the plan?", Miguel asked. "Same way we always do it, Miguel and I gonna distract him while (Y/N) does the deed. Grace is gonna follow closely behind us to make sure everything is going smoothly. Gabrielle will stand watch and let Grace know if anything happens, and she will alert us.", He said making sure everyone understood their roles.
