April 16, 1891 (Thursday)Pt.2

\(3 Minutes left until meeting time\)

“I-told-you-to-take-the-park route! You never listen do you?”, Luis scolded me while panting.

“Look I’m sorry. Let’s just hurry, we only got three minutes left.”,

“Three minutes?!”, he said then continued running.

“Yeah, go ahead! I’ll catch up!”, I said sarcastically.

I looked at my watch again, two minutes left.

Ughhh! I knew I shouldn’t have come with him.

Cars passed me, and another, and another.

This could be my ticket! Luckily, someone stopped by me...

“Oh? Who is this? The “great spy” has ended up being so pitiful! How can this be? Well, I don’t want to be that “guy” but you’re going to be late if you don’t hurry.”, one Lord stopped to make fun of me.

I pointed my gun at him before he closed the door.

“Let me ride with you, I guess you wouldn’t mind now would you?”, I commented then stepped in to seat beside him.

“You won’t shoot, not right now.”,

“Don’t feel threatened My Lord. I won’t shoot you yet. Besides we have to look our very best tonight, don’t we?”, I kid around and stuck the gun at his back.

“Now drive.”,

“Move, now!”, he yelled at his driver.

We rode smoothly until he questioned my current assignment.

“Well let’s have a little talk while you’re here. What is going on with your current mission? Don’t you have any other side jobs than that? I mean, would you even progress with what you have now?”,

I shot out of the window...

“Don’t question my current mission, I’m not done yet so don’t go assuming things. And also, the next time I shoot it’ll be deep in your skull.”,

He gulped as I deepened the gun his head this time.

We arrived at the mansion.... not so clean I would say, he fought back so I went ahead and finished him for tonight.

“W-what did you do?!”, a guest heading to the party screamed when I came out of the car.

“Adam? What did you to Lord Atrimoes? He’s.. dead.”,

“Don’t try to point out the obvious Luis. Get the others to clean it up. Tell them Adam sent you, hurry now.”, I told him right before getting in the mansion.

I went in and to my suprise there were so many guests there, I couldn’t recognise the ones that are in front of me. The ones that I do recognise though, aren’t really that trusting of me.

“Good evening Gentlemen! May I ask what’s bothering you?”, I yelled as I approached then still drenched from that Lord’s blood.

“You’re very well aware of that aren’t you? Anthony? Is that still your name? Last time I saw you, you were taking Count Louveil’s daughter for a walk. But then she called you... “Adam”.”,

“Is something wrong with that? I’m a loyal servant of the Louveil Family, I would work for them my whole life.... well unless they’ll survive.”,

“Your a monster Mr. Archuroes. A monster..”,

“Tell me something I don’t know sir. Now, I’m sorry for interupting but I need to head out now. See you around..”, I said then left their group.

“Adam? Your last name is Archuroes?”, Luis asked as soon as I saw him.

“Uhmmm, my real one. Yes.”,

“How about your first name? Your always so secretive.... you know you can trust me right?”,

“I do, but knowing my real name would put you in danger. So, did they clean up the car?”,

“They did, they looked scared of you too. What happened to you... before I worked here?”,

“That you don’t need to know. The only important thing is that you see the present me. Not like the others still trying to dig up my past.”,

“I’m sorry to have asked you that in the first place.”,

“At least you didn’t push me. Now, come on. I need to get changed, and I need to show you something.”,

We walked in one room located in the second floor.

“Adam? Do you even know what you’re doing?

I mean am I even allowed up here? Maybe you are but what if they caught us?”,

“Relax! As you said, I’m allowed up here so when somebody sees us I’ll tell them why I brought you here..... and there it is.”,

“Is-is that a suit?”,

“Yes, and you’re going to wear one of it. Hurry up. I’ll just take a bath and clean the blood, get dressed.”, I told him as I walked in the bathroom.

I finished a minute later because I was sure that they were already starting. I got dressed and went to check on Luis, and dang he looks fancy.

“Well, I could say you’re looking fine.”,

“I could say better than you.”,

A knock disrupted our conversation.

“Law... Adam, I see that you’ve attended the meeting this time.”, the man from the train told me.

“You’re the guy from the train!”, Luis exclaimed.

“Ah, you must be Luis... the names Kurt Archuroes.”,

“Archuroes? As in Adam’s relative?”,

“Adam’s brother to be precise. The boss is waiting, take Luis. He might want to hear it.”,

“The boss? Are you sure Adam?”,

“If my brother said it, it must be true. But don’t get too excited, you still have your life to live.”,

“What do you mean? If I get a big job I could be payed extra!”,

“Or you’ll be sold with your life.”,

He wasn’t so confident hearing that from me.

“I’ll still come.”,

“Of course you would.”,

We followed Kurt to the Boss’ office.

“Oh yeah, this is the first time your meeting the boss right?”, Kurt asked.

“It is? Is he intimidating?”,

“Kid, you have no idea.”,

“Yeah! I mean my first mission from him was to dispose a bunck of rich *** drug dealers!”,

“Oh yeah, and the time after that we were together to burn up a mansion.”, Kurt added.

“WHAT?!”, Luis scramed in shock.

“Are you sure he’ll be up for it?”,

“He will be if he wants to see his mother again.”,

“Adam, don’t say it like that.”,

“I’ll do what I can, I just want to make my Mother happy.”,

“We’re here kid. Put on a straight face. Don’t smile in front of him. No, I’m just kidding.”, Kurt said to him then opened the door.

“Luis! Is-is the guy Kurt? Adam?”,

“He certainly is.”, I answered.

“It’s nice to meet you sir.”,

“He’s going to be fine right?”,

“Richard! When have we ever let you down?”, I replied.

“Never of course! Heh! He’s good! Good enough. Let’s get going now Lads, you too Luis! And might I add, it’s nice to have you in the family.”,

“Nice kid! I think that’s the signal for start.”, Kurt complimented him as he followed Richard outside.

“Start? What am I supposed to do?”,

“Follow your every command. Come now Luis.”,

He followed me outside, his look was giving away the fact that he was still confused of what his mission really was.

“Adam, details? It was you and your brother who suggested me right?”,

“Yes, it was. We can discuss it after the execution.”,

“EXECUTION?!”,

“We talked about this, the “traitor”?”,

“Will he pick one to do the suicide mission?”,

“He already did, the best part though... the one he chose isn’t even aware of the mission.”,

“Wait? They’re just going to kill him?”,

“Look, in simple terms, it’s like the conversation with my brother on the train.”,

“You mentioned that... if you come with him, they’ll dispose of you. So, if you came together they’ll think that you agreed to the mission?”,

“Excatly! See, you’re used to this already! Come on we can’t miss it.”,

We watched from the balcony of the second floor. While the boss walk around and give signals to his guards, that he’s ready to put him out.

“They’re really going to do it... this is going to be a hard first time.”, Luis said to himself.

“I know how it feels.”,

The boss climbed the stage at the center of the room, his guards approached the supposed “traitor”.

He was screaming help, but noone was brave enough to oppose the boss.

“We-we got to do something!”, Luis panicked.

But, before he could run down the stairs I pulled him and held his arm.

“Let go!”, he refused.

“Watch, you want to see your mother again don’t you?”,

He was hesitant...

“I-I do, I’ll stay.”,

“Wise decision.”,

The guards got to the stage, he was pleading, crying as he was taken nearer to the boss.

“This is what happens if you.... well, you know what you did.”, he spoke as he shot the guy’s neck, chest, and his head.

The one’s near the stage was splashed with blood.

“Take him away, he’s disgusting.”, he commanded.

He got a quick change of character and announced the upbringing of his grandson.

“Now that the traitor is disposed, I would like to introduce my grandson. Luis my boy! Why nit join me up here for a moment.”,

“Luis.... your mission has started.”, I added.

I pulled him down and towards the boss, I handed him to Kurt and he made them stand next to each other.

“Everyone, meet Luis Tesrie. My grandson... the gratest weapon we have.”,

“Stand properly, dont be so stiff.”,

“Uhh, sorry.”, he answered Kurt.

“This mission will be taking place at the Louveil villa. Make me proud boy.”, the boss made his mission clear.

He was finally getting the mission he wanted, he’s going to be a big part of the assassination.
