‘ you ... just lost me a lot of money. ’ his sigh is tight - lipped, the mask of blankness dropping to allow for a tightened jaw [ two thousand for the death, three thousand if you make him suffer -- the details of the man had been scratched out, useless information for a blade ... what killer needs a name, a motive? he cared only for the outcome: body exchanged for the cash in his pocket ]. his boot touches against the man’s head, red - tinted with the gentle kiss of his brains against his skin. dead. dead enough that there would be no point in putting another bullet in him, calling the kill his own. NOT HIS MARK.
‘ how frustrating. ’ there is more to be said, words revolting upon his tongue, but his tongue cuts his voice into pieces before it can be set loose ( you sound like a rotten child when you speak -- keep yourself clipped, well - timed, never reveal more than you have to ... how many kills had she stolen from under him now? he’s sure the number has tipped over ten, a chalkboard of his own inadequacy where his mind should rest ). ‘ you don’t happen to have two thousand on you, do you. ’
