CHAPTER NINE
"Let's go, I got the money."
Showing him your phone,
Received $10,000,000
"Alright, good work... Y/N."
"You too, bunny--"
He interrupts you, grabbing your arm.
"Ah! I forgot to mention... Some people from Dossier are coming here to investigate something... It'd be best if you stick with me. So they won't be suspicious of you, I mean..."
He suggests, letting your arm go.
You two had just finished your jobs, the one with Bradley Thompson. The two of you stood together, quietly. Waiting for the people to come, you thought how it would be best if you weren't there.
"Wouldn't it be better if I wasn't here..? They'll think I'm an outsider, you know..."
He looks at you, scratching his cheek.
"Cameras... They'll know that I wasn't alone during my mission. It's better if I explain it to them with you around."
"Right... And do I say that I kill people and get money...? Or do I say something else--"
"Just-- They won't do anything if you just say you're a bounty hunter..."
You nod, staying quiet.
Looking at him, he seems a bit anxious. You follow where his gaze lands, at the dead body.
"You uncomfortable with corpses...? I can hide it somewhere, if you'd like.."
You suggest, making him shake his head.
"It's fine, I just-- it makes me anxious..."
Given this new knowledge, you start to wonder what Frank really does.
It seems he doesn't really kill people... And when we work together, it's me who's always doing the dirty work...
You decided to question him about your observations.
"I know this isn't really a good time to ask... But I just-- noticed some things... I wanna know, how many people have you actually... Killed...?"
He stands straight. Staring at you silently.
"It's just that, when we work together, I noticed it's mostly me who does the dirty work..."
"Three... I've took three people's lives..."
"Did you want too...?"
He shakes his head, looking down at the floor.
"So all you do is collect information for your... Organization?"
He nods.
Just as you were about to say something else, a group of people come in the door. All wearing black suits, carrying documents, files and briefcases. Also wearing masks, like Frank. Not specifically a rabbit.
"Good work, Frank. Stay with us for a bit, we need all the information we can get."
The man spoke, looking up. You could tell he was a bit startled seeing you, but kept his composure.
"Alright boys... Sweep the area and make sure nothing goes unnoticed."
All the men follows his command, doing their job.
"Frank... You haven't told me that you had a partner during your missions..."
Staring right at you, Frank glances your way.
"Our jobs just coincide most of the time. But I guess you could say we're partners."
Frank looks at you, you smile at him.
"And you..."
He walks towards you...
"Would you mind telling me, what your job is?"
Stopping right in front of you.
You look up at him, hesitant to answer...
"...Bounty hunting..."
He looks... Pleasantly surprised, standing up properly.
"Ah... You're apart of system #6"
Uhhhh... System.. What...?
"Im sorry... What? System #6?"
You look at Frank, as he shrugs.
"You don't know? Dossier is also a system, number 1. The bounty hunting system is just a branch off the Dossier."
He looks at both of you, expecting the two of you to know this information. While the two of you just stare at eachother, confused.
You collect your thoughts... Finding the right words to say.
"Right... I know, now..."
The three of you stay silent.
"Bounty hunter..."
You look at him, meeting his eyes.
"Do you have any information on this man?"
He pointed towards the dead body. He was referring to Bradley.
You nod, taking your phone out your pocket.
"Well, I know he murdered someone's sister..."
Checking the message your contractor had sent you, they had said he murdered their sister.
"This man, was an accomplice to a few murders and also commited a murder himself..."
He takes your phone, you scowled.
He can't just... Take my phone...!
He explains his actions.
"I just tracked the number, we now have a lead.. Thanks to you, bounty hunter."
He hands you back your phone.
A man, wearing a bird mask, walked in.
"I found this, sir..."
He hands him a clear plastic bag.
The new guy turned towards you, and looked back at Frank.
"Who's this?"
He points at you, speaking in a harsh tone.
"Frank's partner, they just work together for... Convenience, I guess."
Their boss answered. You look at the new man, his badge on his chest.
Agent Peterson... Huh...
Peterson looks at you, mockingly.
"You probably did nothing..."
His hands holding a pieces of paper. Eyebrows furrowed, you look at him.
"I was... Doing my job..."
You say,
"Oh yeah? What can you do?"
He looks at you, definitely mocking you.
Looking at him straight in the eyes.
"I can kill you using that paper in your hands, don't try me."
He laughs loudly, clutching his stomach.
"What are you gonna do?! Paper cut me to death?"
"I just might, Agent Peterson..."
You grit your teeth, trying to stay calm.
"Peter, leave them alone. Stop being an ass."
He looks at Frank in disbelief.
"Yeah, alright... I'll leave them alone..."
He raises his hands, staying silent for a moment.
"So... You guys just work together? No personal relationships...? Not lovers or anything--"
"We are just friends... Now stop asking questions."
"Before I make you..."
You quietly say. Crossing your arms. Although your cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
All the men came back, grouping up. Talking about something you couldn't really care less about, getting a bit antsy. You tap Frank on the shoulder.
"Hey... Look, I really need to go now--"
"Oh, bounty hunter! I need to talk to you."
Their boss exclaimed, causing everyone to look at you.
Ah great, I really wanna go home...
You nod, waiting for him to talk.
"I'd like to offer you... A chance, to work with us."
He smiles.
"Uh, I'm sorry... What?"
You asked confused.
"Seeing that you already work with Frank, it'd be best if you work with us... Just continue what you guys do but provide us with more information, from contracts you do alone."
You ponder, thinking about his offer.
"And also some information about the head of your system."
Your eyes widen, not sure to take his offer...
"Alright, I'll accept... For a price. How much?"
He scoffs, licking his lips.
"I knew you'd ask, how about... $25,000,000... In cash."
You smirk.
"Now we're talking, alright.... I'll accept..."
You cross your arms.
"So, what? I'm a double agent of some sort..? Because I know if I sell you info, it goes against the rules."
"I guess you could say that, don't worry, no one will know."
You smile, looking at Frank.
"I know you wanna go home now, so you can go. I'll see you next time."
He waves at you, you wave back. Collecting your things, you made your way back home.
"Frank..."
The man calls out to him.
"Yes, sir?"
"It's seems you are happy..."
Frank smiles softly, nodding.
"Yes sir..."
"Well, I'm happy if you're happy."
The night ends peacefully...
