Don't chase the rabbit
part ii.
It was hard not to think aboutthe image of the male sitting at the bar, waiting for Jae who was suiting upand readying himself as an assistant to a hitman—after years of being a part ofIllicit, they had finally realizes that the tattoo artist had… basicallynothing to do when there weren’t any clients and had started giving him moreand more things to do. He couldn’t just sit around and do nothing when thefully capable male could be finding other ways to be earning them something,and it wasn’t the first time he had gone out on a mission such as this one. Hedidn’t have to do much anyways; he was merely just a second pair of eyes andprovided for extra safety and strength to make sure their target didn’t end upescaping alive.
He’s beyond distracted which isn’tgood for assignments such as this one, so Jae just has to resort to completelyemptying his mind—all he had to do was help hold the bastard down, let thehitman do all the dirty work, then he could quickly return home after theevening’s events. That’s it. It shouldn’t take that long anyways, and it’s onthe ride over to their destination that he doesn’t even realize their route.Doesn’t pay any attention to the fact that their setting is one that’s all toofamiliar, and god—if he had been in the gang for a few years longer then maybethey’d let him know details about the case, but he was absolutely clueless.Didn’t know who it was they were targeting, didn’t know for what reasons, allhe had to do was follow the orders of the one with more seniority.
So he does, he keeps his head downand keeps right behind the male, occasionally taking little glances to theirsides or back to make sure no one was taking notice of the two men. He’s gottentoo used to it, the quick clear of the throat from the other that’d signal toJae that he’s found whoever it was then another hint to point him towardswherever direction he had to go. It usually ended up with Jae leaving thebuilding (or whatever setting it was), awaiting the moment that the hitmanwould lead their victim out and all the young adult had to do was capture them. He waits outside the exit to the alleyway behind the club, back pressed against the cold brick and arms crossed over his chest as he waited-- what was taking him so long?
And it’s this slight annoyance that causes him to have no mercy over their target when he finally appears. There’s maybe a second or two where Jae figures what’s the best way to approach the situation, and he chooses to just push him up against the wall he was just resting against-- maybe then he’d be able to at least see the fact of the person who they’d kill.
If only he hadn’t.
