Death Incorporated (Book 1)

Chapter 1- Death Incorporated

(Chris)

With a smile, we were on stage, playing Thoughts and Prayers."I don't want this! I don't need this! I don't give a single fuck about your thoughts and prayers!" I screamed, quickly scanning the crowd for any of my targets. I walked over to Ricky while singing and he played guitar, resting his back against mine while I sung.

When the song was over, Ricky and Justin glanced over at me and I shook my head in dismay. Once again, they hadn't shown up. Ricky sighed inaudibly and we carried on with the set list, moving onto Catharsis and Voices.

When I was singing Another life, Ricky came up to me and I wrapped my arm around his shoulders while singing. I might have been singing to him, but if I was I wasn't planning on telling him. "I hate that it seemed, you were never enough! Yeah, we were broken and bleeding in the name of love! And I hope that we meet in Another life! I hope that we meet in another life! I don't hate that I need you! I don't hate that I need you! I don't hate that I need you!" I sung, concluding the song. The next, and last song, we played was Eternally yours. When it was over,the crowd went wild and we left the stage with smiles on our faces.

We ended up sitting on the tour bus, and I was trying to drink a cash of beer, which only made my over used throat sting slightly. Then, my second phone went off, which told us all that wed been given another assignment. This one, was for me, Ricky and Vinny. I glanced at Ricky and he nodded, calling Vinny and going to get less noticeable clothes on.

I slipped a black hoodie on and grabbed my mask, putting it on. Ricky walked out with Vinny, both who had their black masks on. "You got the tools?" Vin asked and I pulled three guns out, handing him and Ricky one. They nodded and we slipped out of the tour bus, climbing a roof and looking for the address. It was 'coincidental' that we were in LA, which was where the mission was. We jumped from rooftop to rooftop with ease until we were outside a three story house.

We locked eyes with each other, and Ricky jumped, landing on the window ledge with ease, before he dropped so he was hanging onto it with one hand. With the other, he shoved a screwdriver under the window and a few seconds later, he slipped in. Vinny followed, landing silently and joining Ricky in the shadows. I jumped in, rolling to silence my landing. "Two for me, three for Horror and two for you."

They nodded and slipped out, practically turning into shadows. I made sure the silencer was on my gun before I found my two victims and shot them both in the head, killing them instantly. I heard another two muffled gunshots and I saw Vinny make his way out, slipping away. I went to check on Ricky, but he wasn't there. There was only three dead bodies.

I felt someone jump on my back and when I turned around it was Ricky, who had his mask off and a huge grin on his face. I shook my head and grinned, pointing towards the window. He nodded and ran, jumping out the window. I followed, landing on the rooftop next to the house and Ricky was clutching his ankle...which was sticking out of his leg.

"Shit Ricky!" He winced and I watched as his ankle moved back into place and the ankle attach itself back to the bone. The muscle and skin regrew and within 5 minutes, he was back on his feet. "What happened?"
"Stupid fucking bird."

We went back to the bus and met Vinny along the way. On the bus, Justin and Ricky started chatting and catching up about the mission while Ryan and Vinny chatted about god knows what. My phone went off and I groaned.
(M.m= Mr motionless (Chris), M.S= Mike Shadows)

M.S- I've just received the news that the hit was successful. Can you meet me at the corner in 10 minutes?
M.m- yeah.
M.S- good job, I'll most likely require your assistance again, be prepared.
M.m- okay, see you in 10.

I kept my mask on and drank a monster, waiting until I had to leave to meet him. I left and saw a man who seemed familiar, especially his voice. He handed me the briefcase he was holding. "Thank you, Motionless."
"Whatever, Shadows." He nodded and me and left. When I started walking back, the realisation dawned on me. He was fucking M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold. I walked back on the bus, shaking my head and laughing.

When I was back on, Ricky was asleep on the couch with Vinny next to him and Justin was in a corner with Ryan's head on his shoulder. I took my mask off, putting it down and lying next to the all, closing my eyes. And just before I went to sleep, my phone fucking went off, and I had another assignment that I had to complete as soon as possible. Fucking great.

No sleep, yet again.
