"Good evening. Is the manager in?" Santino asked Charon as he enters the Continental, breathless. "The manager is always in." Charon said and Santino walks away and down the stairs.

"Winston." Santino said as he makes his way downstairs in the lounge area, where Winston was sitting in a chair reading a book. "Mr. D'Antonio." Winston greets once he looks up from his book. "Your evening has been colorful, I see. Seeking safe harbor, I presume?" He asks as Santino walks up to him. "I want his membership revoked. Now." Santino demands as he walks up to Winston and places his hands on his hip. "In the eyes of this institution, Mr. Wick has breached no legalities." Winston informs him.

"Then you know that I have the right to demand of you..." Santino said but Winston talks over him. "Nothing. You demand nothing of me, Mr. D'Antonio. This kingdom is mine and mine alone." Winston said, firmly, as he gives the young man a stern look. "All right. Then enjoy your kingdom, Winston, while you still can." Santino spat. "And you its privileges, sir." Winston said and Santino walks away and orders some food.

Charon was typing away on his computer when he hears approaching footsteps. He looks up and his eyes widen when he sees you and John walking in, both of you looked tired and battle damaged as there was blood and sweat dripping down both yours and John's faces. "We're here to see Santino D'Antonio." John said to Charon.

Charon swallows and hesitates a bit but then he begins to speak. "He's waiting for you in the lounge, sir." He said and John nods and he walks off, you trailing behind him. The two of you walk over and look down from the little balcony to see Santino sitting at a table, eating. You clenched your fist as he looked up at you two and you could just see in his eyes that he believes that he won.

You and John walked down the stairs and towards him, while Winston looks at John with worry. "Duck fat. Makes all the difference." Santino said, smugly, as he takes another bite of his food.

"Jonathan..." Winston said, warningly. "Have you seen the menu here? Lot of options." Santino said. You wanted to hurt this man so bad but, even though you weren't an assassin, you still wanted to respect the rules of not hurting anyone while they were in the Continental. And by God did Santino know it as he sat there, a smile playing on his lips.

"Jonathan, listen to me..." Winston said as you look over at John and you could tell he was pissed. "A man can stay here a long time and never eat the same meal twice." Santino said and John takes a couple of steps forward as he glares at Santino.

"Jonathan, just walk away." Winston said as you look back at John. "John...please..." you pleaded as you placed a hand on his shoulder. Santino gives John a smug smirk. "Yeah, Jonathan. Walk..." he started to say when in a quick movement, John raises his gun and shoots Santino in the head.

You jumped at this and gasped as Winston's eyes were wide and his jaw slightly slacked. "What have you done?" Winston asked John, in shock. "Finished it." John replied as he sets the gun down. You stood there in shock as you stare at Santino's dead body while John starts to turn away. “W-What's gonna happen now?” you asked, in a worried whisper, as you look at Winston.

Winston doesn’t give you a response as he eyes still linger on the now lifeless Santino, but the silence was enough for you to understand one thing.

You can’t kill inside the Continental. 

That’s what Julius said back in Rome when you guys were fighting Cassian. But now that John has killed Santino, you don’t know how bad the consequences would be as you never gotten the full extent of the rules and what would happen if any were broken. But you will soon learn as John gently grabs your arm and leads you away.

Both of you walk back to the lobby, where you see your dog and Charon standing there waiting for the two of you. "How was he?" John asked Charon. "He was a good dog. I have enjoyed his company." Charon said and you smirked as you kneel down to the dog and pet his head then John scratches the back of his ear. "Let's go home." You said as you look up at John. He nods as you get up and you three start to walk out.

John and (y/n) Wick stood inside there in silence, their dog sitting beside them as they take in the sight of what’s left of their home, recalling the time before the Wicks were brought in with no choice. Everything you two had and shared together in this house was gone. Your wishes of having a family together one day in this house was gone.

Photos.

Memories.

Everything.

It’s all gone, burned to ashes and there is no replacing the damage that has already been done. You placed a hand over your mouth as tears began forming in your eyes as you two walk among the remains of your home. In what would've been yours and John's bedroom, you look down and saw something sparkling in the ashes, you kneel down and wipe away the ashes and gasped.

Under the ashes was a bracelet, that was still intact. You picked it up and sniffled a bit as you realize that this was the bracelet that Helen gave you for your sixteenth birthday. It was silver with about four of your birthstones on it and a charm of a daisy flower, since it was Helen's favorite flower. You clutch the bracelet to your chest and began to cry.

John's heart broke as he sees you crying, he always hated when you were sad or crying. He goes up to you and places his hands on your shoulder as you wipe away the tears. He turns you around and pulls you into an embrace and that's when you started to sob harder as you bury your face into his chest.

He looks behind him and sees a chair that was still mostly intact and he goes over and sits down on it, while pull you into his lap. You lean your head on his shoulder as your sobs subsides a bit while a few tears run down John's face then he runs his hand up and down your back and kissed your forehead.

"John..." you choked, tearfully, as you pocket the bracelet. "Yeah..." he responded. "Wh-what...what are they gonna do? To you?" You asked him as you place your left hand on his chest. He sits there for a moment trying to figure out what to say, but the more you two sat in silence the worse you started to feel. "Well...they're....I..." John stammers, quietly, then he lets out a heavy sigh before he continues. "I broke the rules, I killed Santino in the Continental. The penalty of breaking that specific rule...is death." He said and you gasped as you raise your head up to look up at him.

"No..." you whispered, devastated, but you could tell that he was being serious. "I don’t want to pull you into this anymore if you stay with me. You need to run. And run as far away as you can. If you stay, they’re going to find you and hurt you or worse to get to me. I don’t want that to happen.” He said as you look at him and shake your head. "I'm not leaving you." You said.

"Yes, you are. I've already got you in this mess, you don't need to be deeper into this. You need to run and hide. Live a better life, find a better man." John said and his heart breaks as he hears himself say this. "Okay now, stop it, John! You know there's no one that's gonna replace you! I love you!" You said, your voice rising and becoming more stern.

"I love you too. And that's why I'm telling you to go. You deserve someone better. I'm just...I'm sorry I couldn't provide that life to you." He said to you as he pushes back a stand of hair behind your ear. "John! I said stop! I won’t leave you. We’re in this together...for better or worse. If they want me, they're gonna have to catch me, John." You said and you cup his face in your hands as you stare at him. "I'd rather die than leave you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself, knowing I left you on your own." You said.

Then John places a hand on your cheek and wipes away some tears with his thumb. "If they kill you, then they'll have to kill me too." You said then you remove your hands off of his face then places one of your hands over his, that's on your cheek, and you turn your head and kisses the palm of his hand. "I love you and only you." You whispered. John was speechless. He loves you with all of his heart and he thought that if he leaves on his own...against the world, it would be best for you to not get you involved in this life, his life, any more than you've already been put through since the night you were kidnapped.

As he looked deep into your eyes, to see if you were bluffing, but seeing the spark in your eyes says otherwise. The spark that he loves about you. You were serious and he may have underestimated you. He places his other hand on the other side of your face then, gently, guides you towards him until your lips connected with one another.

You froze for a moment as the kiss turns very slow and intimate. You kiss him back and both of you began to convey all of the love you two had for each other in this one kiss. You place your hands on his neck as he wraps his arms around you and holds you close to him as the kiss turns deeper and sensual.

"Mr and Mrs Wick?" A voice said and both you and John pull away from the kiss then look over and see Charon standing at the doorway. "If you would be so inclined." He said and you look up at John as he stares into your eyes. He closes them then sighs and you get up off of his lap and he gets up, then takes your hand in his and the two of you follow Charon, the dog trotting behind you two.

You and John were in the backseat of a car as the dog was laying between you and John, nuzzled up to your lap, and Charon was driving you two to wherever you two were going. You look over at John and, even though he wasn't showing it, you knew he was nervous. You reached out your right hand to his left hand and take a hold of it, he accepts your hand and, instantly, grips it hard.

You stroked the back of his hand with your thumb then both of you share a look. John could tell you were nervous and terrified, and truth be told he was too. He was trying to be strong for the both of you, but seeing that look of fear on your face was breaking his heart. He wanted nothing more than to pull you in for an embrace and tell you everything was gonna be okay and that he will be fine.

But that would be a lie.

He holds up your hand, that he was holding, and kissed the back of it a couple of times. Before he looks back at you, you give a small sad smile before you bring his hand up to your lips and you kiss it as well. He stares at you as if to say I'm sorry when the Charon stops the car. 

John turns to the door and opens it then he let's go of your hand as he climbs out. "Come on, boy." He tells the dog and the dog jumps out then John holds his hand out to you. You take it and he helps you out of the car then John shuts the door behind you and both of you look over at Charon.

"It has been a pleasure, Mr. Wick." Charon said to John. "And it was a pleasure to finally meet you, Mrs Wick." He said and you smiled and nod as John shakes his hand. "Goodbye." Charon said then both of you walk towards the park, the dog following close behind you.

There in the middle was Winston as he sits near the fountain. "Jonathan." Winston greets. "Winston." John said and Winston looks over at you. "Madame." He said and you nod. "What am I lookin' at?" John asked Winston. "The Camorra's doubled Santino's open contract. It's gone international." Winston replied. "High table?" John asked. "Mmm-hmm." Winston said.

"And the continental?" John asked him. "You killed a man on company grounds, Jonathan. You leave me no choice but to declare you excommunicado. The doors to any service or provider in connection with the continental are now closed to you." Winston said and you gasped as John looks down. "I am so sorry. Your life is now forfeit." Winston said as he stands up.

"Then why am I not dead?" John asked and you bite your lips, nervously. "Because I deemed it not to be." Winston said then he nods at a man, who pulls up a phone. "Now." The man said and the people that were walking around you guys, stop and stare at you and John. Both of you look around and you become terrified as see all the eyes staring at you. Winston stares at you two then nods and everyone begins to walk away.

"You have one hour. I can't delay it any longer." Winston said after he checks his watch. "You might need this...Down the road." He said as he pulls out a blood oath marker and hands it to John. Your eyes widen at this as John takes it.

"Winston..." John said and Winston looks up at him. "Tell them. Tell them all. Whoever comes, whoever it is, I'll kill them. I'll kill them all." John threatens and you grab his hand then both you and John exchange a look for a moment, which makes Winston smirk. "'Course you will." Wisnton said, not surprised, he could see how much you meant to John and vice versa. "Jonathan. (Y/n)." Wisnton said to you two. "Winston." You and John said, in unison, then both of you turn around and started to walk away.

As you, John and your dog walk away, Winston pulls out his phone and dials a number. "Accounts payable. One-one-one-one-one. In one hour. John Wick. Excommunicado." He said and the operator was handed John's file then she stamps it. "Order 11111 confirmed." She tells Winston and he hangs up as he felt his heart go heavy. He still couldn't believe that this was happening but...he had no choice.

The operator begins to type on her computer about the order and send it out to everyone that was part of this world. 

You and John were walking along the park when you hear cellphones ringing. Both of you look over and see some people pulling out their phone then they looked right at John. It kept happening the more you two walked and you began to wonder just how many people in this city were assassins. Your heart began beating real fast as you looked at these people in fear.

John started to get worried as well and he starts to walk a bit faster. You meet up with his pace and take his hand in yours and held on. He holds onto it as well and realized that no matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets, he has you by his side.

Then both of you began to run as fast as you could, the dog running along beside you as John starts to figure out how to get both of you out of this....alive.
