As he said he would, Anthony bought his train ticket and went back to the hotel to start preparing.
There wasn't much to be done so it was relatively quick and easy.
He made sure to rest as much as he could that night given the task at hand the next evening. He woke up the next morning to the streets crowded and loud, filled with people in some fancy getups. From what he could see from his window, this event was huge down here.
With a smile and a deep breath, Anthony took a moment to watch the street from his window. He still had quite a bit of time before he had to leave for the hit, so he decided to get himself ready to go out and do some exploring.
Upon getting out to the street though, Alastor was right. It was hard to move around with all of the people. It almost reminded him of home.
He decided not to go out after all, just in case he couldn't make it back in time to grab what he needed, so he just spent the day watching from above.

When the time finally did roll around, the blonde put on his coat, loaded his gun, put it and the silencer in his inner coat pocket along with the bottle of alcohol he brought from home and left for Congo Square, where they knew the target would be passing through to get to his little drinking hideout.
Of course, as the day progressed, more and more people began flooding the streets. It was good that Anthony had kept to his word about leaving early, making it to the square just in time.

The morning of Mardi Gras and Alastor was up early. It was already quite warm out and the day had barely begun as it was.
Dressed as dapper as always, the butcher opted not to wear his jacket that day, settling for just a shirt, pants and waistcoat.
Given the statewide celebration, most businesses around the city area were closed, the butchers that Alastor worked at included, which was great news for him, of course.

For the majority of that morning, with his mother off until the late afternoon, Alastor and Amélie walked around the main part of the city along with a few long time friends of theirs.
When it was almost time for Alastor to meet with Anthony, he set off towards the square, leaving his mother with her friends to enjoy and celebrate.

It didn't take Alastor too long to reach the square since he knew a few alternative routes, and when he did, he immediately began to look around for Anthony. It was a very big day for both of them.

Anthony had taken his coat off for the time being and perched himself up in a tree while he waited for Alastor to show up, which took less time than he thought.
He couldn't help the smile that was on his face as he waited for the man to draw closer before hooking his legs on the branch he was on and swung back, dropping down to hang upside down in front of the man with a wide smile.

"Ciao, Sorrisi!"
He grinned, eyes twinkling.

Alastor was quickly able to spot Anthony from a distance in the tree. If he hadn't of been looking for him, he wouldn't have seen him of course, but the Italian had already gotten the jump on him once before from that same tree.
But if there was one thing he hadn't been expecting, then it was for Anthony to suddenly swing down inches away from his face, dimples in his cheeks very visible from his bright smile.

"Why, you're certainly looking cheerful today. And what a wonderful smile you have indeed!"
Alastor chuckled, taking a step back to allow Anthony to jump down.

Anthony let out a small laugh as he reached up, grabbed onto the branch, and unhooked his legs, coming down from the branch rather easily.
"Grazie, t'day's a beautiful day for a murder, wouldn't 'cha say?"
He replied as he made sure to grab his coat, the smile still wide. He was so happy to be taking someone out that truly deserved it.
