I smiled at his shocked face as I pushed my way through the doorway and into his study.

I sat down on his chair and looked up at him.

"안녕하세요 아버지, 저를 그리웠나요?"

(Translation: Hello father, did you miss me?)

I was calm when I saw Jaekyung emerge from the household with a young boy in tow and blood-splattered clothes.

She must've decided to use a gun in the end.

I internally cringed. 

So messy.

I waited patiently with Jamie by my side, as she leisurely walked up the driveway almost as if she hadn't just killed her own father, her own flesh and blood.

I couldn't judge her for it, whoever said blood was thicker than water certainly didn't know the feeling of being abandoned by said blood.

"It's done," she stated when she got close enough.

I nodded my head curtly and turned into the shadows of the streets, leading them to the car and completely ignoring the boy she brought along with her.

Heavy, fast footsteps echoed through the deserted lane as Jamie tried to catch up to me.

"Who the hell is that boy?" He whispered in my ear, making sure that he couldn't be heard by the pair.

"I don't know," I admitted nonchalantly, only focusing on the road we were walking on and making sure that nobody saw us.

"You don't know?" He asked, surprised.

"No."

He scoffed, throwing them a look over his shoulder and consequently getting an elbow in the ribs from me.

"Stop."

"What? For all you know he could be a spy."

I chuckled, the kid looked less like a trained spy and more like he spent his days behind books and computer screens.

"You and I both know that he couldn't be a spy," I said, turning the corner into a darker alley, only looking back to see if the two had followed us.

Satisfied, I turned back.

"It's always the ones that least look it, Ads." His voice laced with something darker.

Always the ones who least look it? 

I eyed up his side profile, was he trying to tell me something?

I couldn't dwell on his cryptic statements any longer, I had other things on my mind, the most prominent being the man Mano and I were going to kill tonight.

"Mafia man." I greeted him, receiving an eye roll from him and a small smile.

"Si, carota, that's my occupation, what about it?" He teased, grinning when he saw Jamie's serious and unmoving face.

"Romano, the operation has been carried out," Jaekyung said, drawing our attention to her and her companion.

Romano chuckled.

"You kill one and then bring one back, what are we going to do with you?" Romano cheekily asked before turning to the car and unlocking it.

Jaekyung's lips quirked up at his comment, moving to the car.
