Ashes

Lynn was a cold, self-trained, assassin.
Jasper was an unloved mafia leader.
Lynn was known for burning down everything stopping her from getting what she wants.
Jasper shot down everyone trying to get close to him.

When the two of them meet in a dirty motel room, with Lynn, code-named Jade, holding what seemed like a small box and Jasper clutching a gun, looking for a drug dealer who stole drugs and sold them to little kids, they'd nearly died.

A few years later, as a last resort, Jasper decided to hire the best assassin of all seven continents, Ashes, who was known for murdering her victims brutally, and then burning their bodies leaving a note settling on the ashy remains that said, 'Dead' to find and capture his well-known enemy, Charlez, as all other attempts failed.

It'll probably end up in disaster, won't it?

"You have one last chance, Mia Bella, and you do not want to face the consequences of breaking the rules," Jasper sighed.
'Oh, so he's Italian. Time for my inner Italian to come and sass him out,' she thought.
Lynn motioned for him to come closer with her tied-up hands. He complied without hesitation.
"Ragazzino, you don't know what you're dealing with," she whispered in his ear, smirking as she did so. Jasper's eyes widened, just a tiny fraction, as he never would have thought 'Jade' knew Italian.
"Oh really, piccolo?" he chuckled sarcastically.
"You should think twice then."
