     "Yah! C-careful..." Looks like they know my true intentions now.... Now that I've officially announced it, more likely yelled it at their faces. "Sorry. I gotta clean this up though." I take a deep breathe and watch one of my gang members clean up the wound on my arm.

     I wince at the feeling of the alcohol flowing over the wound but my mind flew elsewhere as I remembered, "You done with that? I gotta do a few other things."

     My right hand girl, Roux, lifted an eyebrow at me. "Seriously? You just got back all wounded, again, and now you gotta do a few other things." she rolled her eyes, quoting with her fingers but I didn't give a damn. "Yeah shut up before I decide to leave you out in the streets to get raped tonight." She backed away slightly and stared at the ground.

     I threaten them only because I have to, to keep my place and title. Without my title they would've thrown me out to those drunk bastards just yards downtown. Roux usually jokes with me so it's actually fine. But she backed away and shuts up whenever I'm not in the mood. Once my gang members left me alone, I focused on my augs, concentrating on the location of Pri and Alpha.

     Pri is still looking for them. At least they don't know where they are yet. I better get to them before those bitches do. I wouldn't want the poor kid limping around, running for his life. Not to mention my brother would be pissed off again.

     Focusing on my augs again, I reach out to the only person I know I could trust of my gang's hideout.

3rd POV

_5:21am_

     Winter has officially entered East Gate and white covered everything. From the rooftop of the highest building in East Gate, to the balcony where Four took interest in sipping his coffee. A puff of smoke emerged in thin air but the assassin didn't seem to find the winter cold.

     Just then, his eye twitched and what felt like a migraine made his augs activate on their own again. He groans with the pain, holding his hands to his ears as a high pitched noise rang in his head. "Fuck."

"Oppa... Oppa can you hear me?"

"Wha- agh!"

     Hearing the familiar voice out of nowhere, Four looked around him as the owner of the voice was just somewhere in the area. But no one else was up and out but him. His vision was all red, confusion hitting him hard.

"Oppa. It's me Jae, relax I know it hurts. Just breathe..."

     This time, he was sure he heard it. It was voice of his sister in his head. "Jae? Is that you? How the fuck are you talking to me in my head? You're not a fucking Specter!" a chuckle echoed in his head, "Oppa just relax and let it flow. It's just me, really. And obviously you don't know how the augs fully work. I found out that we can actually communicate with them even without a connection from a Specter like Six."

     Still regaining his composure, Four rubbed his temples, his vision wasn't all red to blue like the usual but instead, a normal view of everything around him. The colors weren't drained out and somehow, it didn't hurt like it normally does.

     "How exactly are you even doing this? And where the hell are you? I heard you just left the guys with a note." Four mused, now hunched on his seat trying to think of an explanation for this shit.
     "I'll tell you how to do it some other time. Right now I need you to go to this address. I can't really go there myself but I'm gonna send someone to get you, k?"
     "Kid I dunno what you're on about but fine. So... Where do you want me to go?"
