Cutthroat x Swindler (Akudama Drive)

6

My heart continued to beat fast as we took a step towards the entrance. He was right though. The moment we entered the room the smell of blood hit me hard. Not only the smell but the colour. It was sprayed out everywhere. The whole entire warehouse had been painted red.

Of course there were a few white and grey spots but it was everywhere.

Cutthroat turned to look back at me with a serious expression.

"Do not leave my side unless I leave you to do something understood?" He said in a whisper.

I nodded my head in fear and he finally let go of my arm.

We hurried over to a few boxes crouching down.

"Don't make any noise just wait and watch."

We used a hole through the boxes to look out into the warehouse. If we were hiding this definitely meant people were here, but the biggest question was, what happened here? Why was there so much blood everywhere?

The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the warehouse causing a gasp to almost leave my lips, but Cutthroat was quick to put a hand over my mouth. People were beginning to become visible now it seemed to be a group of them. As I looked a little closer my eyes began to widen and I was ready to get up.

"Don't think about it." Cutthroat mumbled pulling me closer to him.

"If you go out now youll get shot."

My heart had already started to speed up but seeing him made it beat even faster. There amongst the crowd of people was my very own boyfriend.

"This is a bloody mess. Tell me which one of you idiots thought spreading out blood everywhere would make it easier to clean?" My boyfriend asked the group annoyed.

"We didn't do it for no reason! Haven't you heard the rumours?"

"Do you not understand how hard this shit is going to be to clean up?! Shit! Idiots! They already know were here but don't make it more fucking obvious." He seemed to be getting very annoyed now.

"But I heard it could help lure out Cutthroat! Imagine how much money we could make if we lured him out! Haven't you seen his bounty??"

My boyfriends expression calmed for a second before he let out a sigh.

"If his bounty isn't over 1 million I'm not interested."

"3 Billion."

His eyes lit up super fast. I had never seen someones expression change so fast. He now had a smile on his face as he looked at the other men.

"Well done. Ill allow this to slide if he shows up."

I glanced over at Cutthroat tugging on his coat.

He took his hand away from my mouth and looked back down at me.

"Why is he here??" I whispered in shock.

"You didn't know who your own boyfriend was?" He asked tilting his head to the side in confusion.

"How could I?? I thought he just worked a normal business job?!" I whisper yelled.

Cutthroat simply shrugged his shoulders before going back to looking at the red covered room.

This was the last thing I had expected my boyfriend to do. All of my doubts had been directed towards him cheating not being involved in something like this. It was so tempting to get up and ask him what was going on but considering he had hid so much would he even be honest? Sure I had caught him but he could always find away to make me believe I was delusional.

"Do you even think he'll show up?" One of the other men in the room asked.

"Come on havent you heard the rumours. Anywhere with red and he'll show up! It'll be money in our pockets!" Another laughed.

They all laughed together before the lights flickered once.

The moment they flickered I realized Cutthroat had disappeared. My heart started racing again and the lights flickered once more. The laughing had died down and all the men stood stiff.

"H-Hey this isn't funny anymore.." One of them let out a nervous laugh.

"Shit im sure its nothing..."

The moment those words left his mouth nothing would ever leave again. His head was cut clean off and I turned away out of fear.

Loud screams erupted from the warehouse and a mass of bullet shots could be heard.

"Fucking bitch!" I heard my boyfriend scream.

I glanced back through the hole to see all but one of the men were dead. Only my boyfriend remained.

Cutthroat stood on a beam with a knife in his hand. Twirling it effortlessly as they stared each other down.

I got up from my spot and immediately rushed into the middle of the room before Cutthroat could lunge at him.

"ENOUGH!"

Cutthroat jumped down but backed up.

My boyfriend stared at me in shock as I stood between the two. He mumbled a few things under his breath before walking towards me.

"What is going on?!" I whisper yelled at him.

He ignored me as he wrapped his arm over my shoulder pulling me closer into him.

"What have you really been up to?"

He tilted his head to look down at me before raising an eyebrow.

"And how are you connected with Cutthroat?" He asked annoyed.

A nervous smile formed on my face but he didn't seem impressed.

"I guess we were both hiding things.." I said letting out a nervous laugh.

His expression stayed cold and a small frown grew on my face.

"Sorry.. I wasn't sure how to tell you that he was kinda holding me hostage..." I mumbled out the last part.

"Its fine don't worry..."

He cautiously shifted his arm wrapping it around me to hold onto my other shoulder. I looked up at him confused.

Something wasnt right.

I watched his other hand slide down to his waistband. It didn't take me long to realize what was going on. He pulled a gun from his waistband and stared down at it before pointing it towards Cutthroat.

"So Cutthroat what will it be."

He brought the gun back but this time I could feel the barrel of the gun against my neck.

"You or the girl?"
