The freezer smelled like death, and not the poetic, cinematic kind.
No, this was the real kind—the kind that clung to your nostrils like an ex who wouldn’t move on.
The air was cold, icy, and filled with the metallic smell of blood that had already begun to congeal in places it definitely shouldn’t be.
The bodies? Well, there were four of them, all in various states of “oops, I’ve been brutally murdered.”
And here you were, in your pink apron, standing in the middle of it all like some kind of cursed housekeeper.
Mr. Zy, your extremely problematic employer who somehow made "mildly bleeding in a corner" look attractive, was watching you work. Silently. Like a cat watching a mouse. Or, more accurately, like a hitman watching his cleaner expertly dispose of the evidence while he dripped blood onto the tile.
You sighed, rolling up your sleeves. Alright, let’s do this. Time to educate the masses.
Step One:
Assess the Situation.
Four bodies. One industrial-grade freezer. Blood pooled across the floor, already freezing in some places. Messy. Not the worst you’d seen (Greg’s office still haunted you), but still, not great. The key was efficiency—minimizing cleanup, maximizing disposal.
Step Two:
Positioning Matters.
You tilted your head, eyeing the bodies critically. “Alright, we need to stack them properly. You can’t just throw corpses in like Tetris blocks, or you’ll end up with dead guy Jenga.”
Mr. Zy exhaled smoke, watching. “Stack?”
“Yes, stack. Unless you want to play ‘guess which limb this belongs to’ later.” You gestured dramatically. “You think the people who do this professionally just throw them in like a kid cleaning their room? No. There’s a method.”
He gave a slow blink, unimpressed. But he didn’t argue.
Step Three:
The Art of Disguise.
Now came the fun part. You bent down, avoiding the literal puddle of human juice, and started working.
Blood had already begun to freeze, so you chipped away at it methodically while maneuvering the bodies into the most space-efficient arrangement.
“See, the trick is layering. If you freeze them right, they don’t stick together like a human popsicle pack.”
Mr. Zy watched, silent as ever.
Does he just stand there for fun? Is this entertaining for him?
His deep blue eyes were focused on you, his expression unreadable, and was he leaning against the wall like some tragic villain? His slightly grayish hair was tousled just right, and the way the cigarette balanced between his fingers—ugh. Disgusting. Unreasonably attractive. Jail.
“Why are you staring?” you blurted, more annoyed at your own thoughts than anything.
You paused mid-cleanup, brain buffering. Oh.
That was… that was new. People never listened to you. You mostly yapped into the void while people either ignored you or, in Greg’s case, actively walked away.
But this guy? This guy was different.
And somehow, that was worse.
There was something deeply concerning about how casual Mr. Zy was about this. Maybe it was the fact that he was still slightly bleeding, yet somehow more interested in watching you work than tending to his wounds.
Maybe it was the way he rolled up his sleeves like he was about to make sourdough—except instead of dough, it was a guy named Darren who probably owed money to the wrong people.
Or maybe it was the fact that he was doing this barehanded.
“You’re not even gonna—” You gestured vaguely at his entire existence. “—I don’t know, put on gloves?”
He flexed his fingers, looking at them like he was considering it for a whole half-second before shrugging. “No need.”
“No need?” You repeated, incredulous. “No need?! Sir, that is a whole dead guy. He has bacteria. Diseases. Maybe a life insurance policy.”
Zy ignored you. Instead, he reached down and, with terrifying ease, grabbed one of the bodies by the arm. There was a sickening crunch-pop as the frozen shoulder joint gave way like an overused stress toy.
You grimaced. “Great. Love that sound.”
You weren’t sure what was worse—the sheer strength required to do that or the fact that he didn’t even look mildly inconvenienced by it. Like, yeah, I can snap a dude’s arm off with my bare hands, no big deal, wanna get coffee later?
But you had work to do. And at the end of the day, bodies were bodies, and a job was a job. You rolled your shoulders and cracked your knuckles. Time to educate the masses again.
Types of Disposal &
Their Uses
Chop & Drop (Dismemberment 101)
The classic. Cut them up into smaller, manageable pieces. You glanced at Zy’s lack of tools and sighed.
“You ever use a bone saw, or do you just Hulk your way through everything?”
He gave you a look. “Hulk.”
Of course.And then, to prove his point, he literally grabbed a leg, twisted, and—oh.
The femur just snapped. Like it was a breadstick.
You blinked. “Okay. That’s illegal.”
The Acid Bath (Not As Cool As It Sounds)
Melting bodies in acid? Overrated.
Takes too long. Too expensive. Plus, who the hell has that much hydrofluoric acid lying around? Breaking Bad really did a number on people. You didn’t even suggest it.
Grinder or Woodchipper (Extreme Mulching)
The last thing you needed was stray human confetti flying around.Zy, to his credit, looked vaguely intrigued by the idea.
You pointed a warning finger at him.
“No.” He exhaled smoke, noncommittal.
Burn Baby Burn (Fire Solves Most Things)
Fire worked. But fire also attracted attention. You didn’t need the Veygrove fire department rolling up, finding four half-melted skeletons, and collectively deciding to quit their jobs.
Frozen Goods (Tonight’s Special: Not-So-Fresh Meat)
Now this? This was a winner. Freezing bodies slowed decomposition. Kept the smell to a minimum. Plus, a well-packed freezer meant no leaks. You just had to—crack—do some creative folding.
Zy tossed a severed arm into a garbage bag like he was throwing out last week’s leftovers. You sighed. This man was going to give you an aneurysm.
At some point, Zy leaned against the counter, watching you work with that same unreadable expression. You could feel his gaze, like a sniper scope trained on your existence. Finally, he spoke.
You huffed, wiping your forehead. “Yeah, well, someone has to be.”
You froze. Not because of the question itself, but because of the fact that he asked.
Mr. Zy never asked things. He observed. Lurked. Occasionally made unsettling eye contact. But outright asking?
You exhaled, considering your answer. “Because people are messy,” you finally said, tying off a garbage bag. “And if no one cleans it up, it just stays messy. That’s how you get caught.”
Another pause. Then, slowly, he nodded—like you’d passed some kind of secret test.
And just like that, the conversation was over.
Mr. Zy = Distractingly Hot Even When Covered in Blood. Again.
You didn’t say that last part out loud, obviously. You had some shame.
You stole a glance at him, rolling your eyes as he lit another cigarette. “Can you at least bandage yourself before you drop dead?”
And then, in the most stupidly attractive way possible, he just muttered, “Not dead yet.”
Your brain short-circuited.
Great. Fantastic. Amazing. You were never going to survive this job.
You had done your job. You had done it well. Time to pack up, go home, and maybe pretend that your boss wasn’t stupidly attractive even when covered in the remnants of several unfortunate individuals.
But then, in the middle of your I should leave before my brain betrays me plan, something unexpected happened.
He reached into his pocket.
You tensed immediately. Because, let’s be honest, when a hitman reaches into his pocket, the reasonable response is to assume violence. But no—what he pulled out wasn’t a weapon. Wasn’t a knife. Wasn’t even more bullets.
And then—oh God—he pulled out something else.
Mr. Zy, the most feared hitman in Veygrove, casually thumbed through his sticker book, flipping past pages filled with sparkly unicorns, motivational quotes, and tiny cats wearing sunglasses, before peeling one off with the precision of a man assembling a sniper rifle.
You didn’t even look at it yet. You were too busy processing.
“So,” you said slowly, “let me get this straight.” You gestured to the money in one hand. “This is extra?”
A pause. Then, gruffly, “You did good.”
You blinked. “I always do good.”
Another nod. As if he was acknowledging a fact.
Then, still casual as ever, he pointed at the sticker still sitting in your palm.
“That,” he said, “is also extra.”
“You just… carry a sticker book? Everywhere?”
You squinted. “You’re telling me—”
“—you’re walking around with a loaded gun, a bloody knife, two extra magazines, and a freaking sticker book?”
You opened your mouth. Closed it. Opened it again. “Do you have multiple sticker books?”
He exhaled a thin trail of smoke, looking at you like he was considering whether or not to answer.
You finally looked down at the sticker. It was a cartoon frog giving a thumbs-up. Below it, in cheerful font, were the words: "Nice job, champ!"
“…I don’t know how to react to this,” you admitted, half-laughing, half-spiraling into an existential crisis.
He didn’t react. Just flicked his lighter shut, stuck the cigarette between his lips, and—God help you—had the audacity to look hot while doing it.
Then, because apparently you weren’t already malfunctioning enough, he added, "I apologize."
Your brain rebooted. "Huh?"
"For being bad at my job."
He gave a lazy shrug. "Made a mess."
"Well....Mess comes with the job description.." [Fuck, I fumbled.]
Another slow drag of his cigarette. He exhaled smoke. "Doesn't mean I like it."
You stared at him. This was… a weird moment. A rare moment. Mr. Zy, the terrifying, unkillable, oddly considerate hitman, was sitting here, looking down at the floor with a slight crease between his brows—like he actually cared that he’d made things difficult for you.
And if that wasn’t strange enough, he wasn’t done talking.
“By the way,” he muttered, flicking ash to the side, “don’t shut up.”
He tilted his head slightly, his blue eyes—so deep, so unreadable, so ridiculously distracting—meeting yours with actual intention. “I like listening.”
Most hitmen—hell, most people—probably wanted their employees to shut up. To be quiet, efficient, and obedient. But noooooo, apparently this one had decided he liked your constant yapping.
You squinted at him. “Are you feeling okay?”
A slight eyebrow twitch. “Yes.”
“You sure? No brain damage?”
A slow inhale. Slow exhale. “Yes.”
You crossed your arms, lips twitching. “So… just to confirm. You, a very scary hitman, are telling me, your very unscary cleaner, to continue talking?”
A long pause. Then, very simply, “Yes.”
Your entire existence felt thrown off balance. Because, sure, you were used to dealing with his general weirdness—his silent lurking, his casual rage murder, his questionable fashion choices (seriously, why the pink apron?)—but this? This was new.
And frankly, it was dangerous.
Because it meant he was paying attention.
And if he was paying attention, that meant he was listening to everything you said.
Which meant that one day, inevitably, your simping was going to slip out.
You needed to leave. Immediately.
“Okay, well!” You clapped your hands, stuffing the extra cash into your pocket. “That’s great, boss. Love that for me. And for you. And for our very strange professional dynamic. But if I stay here any longer, I might say something really stupid, so I’m gonna—”
His gaze narrowed slightly, as if considering pushing the matter, but then he just shrugged. "Next time."
Your soul left your body. NEXT TIME?
You needed out. Right now.
Grabbing your supplies, your stupid sticker reward, and what was left of your self-control, you bolted.
And as you did, you could feel his gaze still on you, as calm and unreadable as ever.
