Partners In Crime - My Inner Demons (Leif X Reader)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - Find Him

"Lenoir. President Rhal has something to discuss with you and the boys." Ava says as she looks at her clipboard.

Washing my hands clean. After that, I fix my combat gloves and nod at her to dismiss. I hear her heels tap on the floor almost disappearing.

Ah, another day for a mission. This will never end if you're an agent. You discuss, you fight for glory and then done. I am always the one who saves. When will I be saved?

I'm Lenoir. A twenty-five year old woman that works as an agent in Black Halo Agency.

I have black long hair with red colored tips, and coal black eyes. I have two brothers. One as an agent and the other as a president. Yes, president Rhal is my brother.

He started this organisation just to help the community from any negative events. Rhal thinks it's the best idea, so he used his wealth for this. He even hired people to train us how to do combat. However, some of us are self-taught.

I go up to my bed side table, take my phone and leave my room. Walking towards the meeting room, as I see people walk pass by me. Scientists, Librarians, even the Nurses. They greet me and I just give them a fake smile.

As soon as I got there, I open the door to see my colleagues already in their chairs. Even Rhal on his chair with Bish on his side. God, her name suits her well. Closing the door behind me, I walk to my chair and take a seat.

"Welcome Lenoir." Rhal welcomes me as he curt nod. "Took you long enough, sweetheart."

Rhal is my older brother. He is the president of Black Halo Agency and a targeted man. He knows almost everything.

However, he lose his temper often. Rhal has navy blue-black eyes and black hair with medium colored skin. He gives us all the information with the help of Rhys and Ava. Rhal is thirty-five years old.

"Don't call me that." I demand and put my feet on the table. "So what is this about?" Folding my hands to my chest.

Rhys sighs beside me, "Did you start cutting again?"

Rhys is our top dog. He is intelligent, outgoing and patient. He's also the hacker in the team. He surely knows how things go. Rhys has lapis lazuli eyes, chocolate skin and dark brown hair. He also has glasses, but he still looks gorgeous with it. Rhys is thirty years old.

"Lenoir," Asch warns and I just shrug, looking at my shoes.

Asch is my brother and the combat master, as they say. He knows how to fight, dodge and hunt. He's more experienced than I am. Asch has black hair and eyes. A medium colored skin. We mostly look like each other. Asch is twenty-nine years old.

"How the heck did you know anyways, Rhys?" I ask, glaring up at Rhys. He sighs again and push his glasses up.

"I know almost everything about you. What else has made you this late?" Rhys asks and push his hair back.

"Have you been drinking your pills, Lenoir?" Noi asks in his deep voice.

Noi also knows how combat works too. He leads as the sniper man. He goes to high skyscrapers and shoot down to his targets. He has never missed any shots. He also knows hypnotism works. Noi has pinkish neon orange colored hair and radiant pale skin. His eyes are amber colored. Noi is twenty-eight years old.

"No. Yes. Maybe. I don't know." I scratch the back of my neck. "Why would you all ask stupid questions? We've been in this agency for almost ten years now."

I hear Pierce grunt, in front of me "Here, catch." He throws a pill at me.

Pierce is my best friend. He understands me well. He is most likely Asch's right hand man. A self-taught man. He is incredibly loyal to this organisation. Pierce has dark brown hair in a low ponytail, and ocean blue eyes. With sienna colored skin. He is good at protecting others too. Pierce is thirty-two years old.

I catch the pill and put it in my mouth. The bitterness fills my mouth. Bish then slides a bottle of water to me and I quickly drank from it after getting it. These pills will help you remember how to smile again my ass. It never helps.

"I gather you all because I have an important mission for Lenoir." Rhal stands up as he looks at me.

"Then why call the guys if it's a mission for only just me?"

"You'll be needing their help with this." Rhal answers and puts up a file. He slides it to me through the table and I stand up. I open the folder and saw a man's file. I look at his photo. "I shall thank Rhys for the man's info."

The man has white hair, teal eyes and tan skin. In the photo, he wears a white shirt, with green collard shirt. And a shark tooth on a silver chain necklace. I notice a scar on his right eye.

"Leif Munhowl. A thirty year old man." Asch reads. I hum as I tap my hand on the folder.

"He has killed twenty-eight people." I say, "Every once in a month. Therefore, he has been doing this for two years and a half now."

"Does he have any good reason to kill that many?" Noi asks and I look at my big brother. Rhal shakes his head.

"Leif has been killing people just to fullfil his lust for blood." Rhal answers.

"What's his background, Lenoir?" Pierce asks and I look back at the file.

I read, but it has nothing. "Question mark." I answer. "However, he used to work as a personal assistant when he was twenty years old."

"Any recent jobs these past few years?" Pierce asks and I look again.

Asch then took the file. "Slow reader." He smirks.

"Bonehead." I smile.

Asch then got serious, "Three years and a half ago, he used to be a security guard. There's no explanation why he quit but he fell into depression as his psychiatrist say."

"Then he started killing people in secret, after that." Rhys adds in and I go in deep thought.

Maybe the reason he quit is he fell into depression. Meets a psychiatrist after noticing some symptoms. Then he starts killing people in the afterwards. What made him like this? I'm really curious why. Me and this Leif guy have the same mental illness. But what do we have to do with him?

I look up at Rhal, "So..?" I pull off the 'O'. He clears his throat and say,

"I want you all to cooperate with him."

When I heard him say that, my eyes widen, "Are you nuts!?" I exclaim, "You can't possibly just tell us to cooperate with a killer!"

"Yes, I can." Rhal slams his fist onto the table. "I know he'll be better."

"Oh, your little instincts again, Rhal!" Asch complains.

"Guys, be reasonable!" Noi butts in, "What if it'll lead us to a better future?"

"Noi's right. We should do it." Rhys agrees. I look at Pierce. He looks back at me and shrugs. He's no help at all.

"Fine." I give in.

"By the day after tomorrow," Rhal begins, "Find Him."
