Turn Up the Heat

Luks' POV

"I'm getting bored here. Is there anything I can do? It's already night time but the temperature is still high" Lukas whispered to himself.

"Hello Lukas, would you like to spar with me again?" Maro said.

"Hell no, I'm bored but no thanks" I replied.

"If you're bored let's just make fun of Black. Did you know that he loves anime?"Maro said while laughing.

"What's wrong with that? Even I watches anime." I replied.

I just made that because I really don't want to mess with Black. He looks scary. He is an old man with a scar on his chin. He's aura is too dark, and he only uses black clothes. I think that's why he is called black.

"What man? You're no fun! Boo" he said while giving me thumbs down.

"You know what? Just tell me something about you guys, that would be better" I replied.

"Okay fine. Let me start with myself" he said.

"Go on" I replied.

"Well I love playing video games when I was a kid. That led me to what I am now. I love action movies, the best one for me is John Wick chapters 1 and 2. My life being an assassin started when I was nineteen. My father was killed in front of me, so I killed the one who killed him. After my father's funeral my uncle took me with him. He happened to be a member of the Underworld Society. I told him that I killed my father's killer. Then he introduced me to a Hitman and became his apprentice. Then three years later I joined the Underworld Society" Says Maro.

"Can you tell me about Black next?" I asked

"Okay I think I know a little about Blackie" he said while laughing.

"When I first met him it was my 7th year on the organization already. He was a loner nobody makes fun of him they don't even dare to look directly into his eyes. I approached him first because I don't usually see him there. I said hi and he said hey and we started to be friends from there. There is nothing to be afraid of him. In fact he is a funny guy. From what I know he is the one behind the famous serial killings in your town. His motto is 'No Evidence, Not Me' funny right?" He added.

"Do you know anything about Mister?" I asked.

"Ow him, You noticed that everyone here calls him Mister right?" He answered.

"Yeah is that a codename or something?" I asked.

"Yup that's his codename, but if I am correct I think he has the initials of M and R that's how he came up of his codename." He answered.

"Is that all you know about him?" I asked again.

"I think h-"

Maro stopped talking and he is looking behind me. So I turned around and saw Mister and Kidd walking towards us. Then Kidd rushed to turn off all the lights.

"It's too dark. What's going on?" I asked.

Kidd said " we've got a company, watch your six. Don't ask any questions and be quiet".

"How the fu*k can I watch my back when its too dark" says I.

"I said no more questions" he replied.

Maro went to where Zao is. I saw Mister standing near the front door. I was just sitting when someone spoke.

"I will be protecting you for now" Says Black.

"What the fu*k Black you stratled me" I whispered to my right.

"Uhm, I'm on your left who are you talking to your right?" He asked and while laughing.

"How can you see me?"I asked

"I got night vision goggles"he answered.

"Please take this seriously, my life is in your hands" I said.

I heard footsteps outside, there's many of them. They're circling around.

"Black are they going in? Are they bad guys?" I asked

"Well, we'll know once they enter" he replied.

Fu*k so they will enter? What if they have guns? I still want to live. Did I make the right choice by staying with these guys? Am I gonna die? These questions keep coming to my mind. I was spacing out when three guys broke in through the window.

Kidd quickly tackled two guys down. A knife flew from the opposite direction of Kidd and hit the guy that Kidd failed to tackle down. I looked into the direction where the knife came from and it was Maro who threw it. Then two more knives followed and hit the other two, one in the head and the other was hit on his shoulder. Kidd pulled the knife and stab the guy that Maro failed to kill in the chest three times.

Suddenly the door was breached. Mister was there he stroke the guy that entered right on the throat. He kicked the another guy that was about to enter then he broke the neck of the guy in front of him. Mister took the guy's rifle and fired it to the enemies outside.

Zao entered from outside and turned on the lights. Maro is already prepared to throw his knife when he realized that it was Zao.

"I left this one alive" says Zao while holding a guy.

"Good work Zao we'll interrogate him" says Kidd

"Black, clean up the mess" Mister said.

Zao and Kidd brought the guy inside and tied him on a chair. Mister told me to help Black. So I quickly went to where Black is.

"Black can you clean up the bodies on your own?" I asked

"I understand that you still can't deal with a dead body. You'll get used to it" Black replied.

"Just go pack your things, we'll leave for sure" he added.

I went inside and walked near the interrogation. I can hear their conversation.

Zao: We are your fellow assassins in the Underworld Society, so we are expecting you to cooperate.

Assassin: Okay I'll tell you everything, you're all going to die anyways. The higher-ups of the Underworld Society is the one behind this. All of you were branded traitors.

Zao: Why are we branded traitors?

Assassin: Because you're with Maverick. The boss says you all are planning to take him down.

Mister: He's right, and he will go down sooner.

Assassin: You brought this upon yourself and your team, Maverick. The Noblemen team that I know is now gone.

Mister held the guy in the head and said

"Since we are former colleagues I will let you chose if you will die quickly or slowly.

Assassin: Just kill me already and make sure you do.

Maro slit the assassin's throat.

I walked towards them and saw the dead body.

"Is Maverick your name?" I asked

"Ow you're there" Maro said.

Mister did not answer me. Instead he went up to his room. Kidd took the dead body outside.

"Yup Maverick is his name, but don't call him that unless you are prepared to die. By the way since you're going to join us you should know that we are called the Noblemen. It doesn't fit us right? Zao said.

"I think so" I replied

Black entered and told me to rest after I finished packing my things up because we will leave. He is right we left early that day. Without knowing where they would take me I still decided to go with them.
