Ways of Assassination

"YO!" A man wearing a mask suddenly appeared while giving a high-five gesture. "Urgh, what do you want Smiles? Whatever it is, I'm not in the mood" Ace replied while pushing aside the hand.

Smiles is a cheery fellow which could be annoying when it comes to doing the jobs. As an assassin, many would prefer to not be in the spotlight for fear of getting caught, tracked or ambushed by the authorities or heroes.

The only thing that would be in the spotlight usually are the dead bodies left behind which would be proof of their work done to their employers when news gets out.

The pros and cons of it varies as maybe people would least likely suspect you since you don't seem like those bloodthirsty or cold like how assassins are known to be.

Some assassins have different ways of killing, that is why many employers would ask for a certain named assassin or the Assassin could look for a certain request that adheres to their way of assassination.

One them is Cutthroat Viper, who usually goes for a single target every once in a while and leaving an S shaped calligraphy with a line across it like cutting a snake in half.

Shredder or Black Wolf prefers groups or families where they could go wild and tear at their targets without worrying about surrounding people they're 'Not Allowed' to kill.

Shredder signature symbol left behind would be an S shaped two claw marks on the walls or bodies while Black wolf leaves WW Shaped with three claw marks with bite marks on the bodies.

Certain assassins have their own agendas like Smiles for example. He loves targeting officials and sometimes heroes, he would usually paralyze the target before sewing their lips together while cutting a line from the each ends of the mouth to the ears and afterwards pierce through the targets heart slowly to watch them squirm till dead which creeps people out. Most assassins prefer to kill quickly and quietly to avoid accidental attention and unnecessary problems especially when it was time to get away from the scene.

"Come on Ace, we both have the same way of taking our targets life right? We both take a certain amount of time to finish the deed, except yours is burying your victims and drawing your insignia on the grave. Which covers the spades part but I dont understand the rectangle in the middle though?" Smiles questioned, "I'm curious on how you do it".

"You'll find out soon enough, anyways I prefer working alone, less burdens to think of" Ace answered as he walked to the exit of the bar. He stopped in front of the door and warned "Do not try to follow me, I'll know. Don't blame me for what happens next if I do", slowly walking out of the bar.

The bar went deathly silent, so silent that anyone could hear a pin drop. Customers drinking and describing about their jobs all stopped and looked towards the exit.

"Did you feel that just now?" Smiles anxiously looked towards Ted and Reds as cold sweat trickled down his neck.

"That's nothing compared to when I faced off with him before" Reds responded as she gave a knowing smile towards the exit of the bar.

"Yeah, you should have been here when he first came with his mentor, I had never felt it before and not even from the top assassins when they had just started" added Ted as he gave a reminiscent look.

"If I were you, I wouldn't want to be on his bad side, trust me", he reminded before going back to the counter.
