It was a nice evening out in Seattle. People were just getting out of work and were beginning to close up shop for the night, Lyon was in his family headquarters arranging paperwork and flipping through folders to find out who to send on the contracts, some being regular targets that were owed money but never paid it back or caused problems within one of the family establishment, nonetheless there was a lot of paperwork  to be done and the man was gonna stay up all night to get it sorted by the morning.

There was a folder that stood out to him however, it wasn't in the pile that still needed people assigned to them. More work for the wise guys to handle Lucious thought to himself, he shook his head. His hand reaching over the closed folder and then sitting back in his seat to flip it open and examine the contents inside, it was a regular contract though once he saw the individual that was described and their affiliations to another family, Lyon's name was planted underneath and it was marked to get a second hitter with him.

Lucious knew just who to call. He may have been a goofy guy but he knew when to be serious when the situation required it, though confusion did nothing but jumble up his mind, was it Fio that assigned it to him? Then again, he wasn't gonna reject the job, it was work that needed to be done and maybe Lyon was the only person that could be trusted with this assignment; couldn't blame him, important target, couldn't leave this to the hands of some reckless goomba.

He put his feet back down so they met with the floor and reached over to the phone that sat on the corner of his desk. Lucious made a call to WillieNelson and waited as the telephone began to ring.

"...Hello? Who's this?"

Lucious coughed.

"Hey Willie. It's Lucious, gonna need you to help me out with something and I don't wanna talk about it over the phone. Meet me over at the Uccello headquarters."

"...Alright. I'll be on the way over."

The call hung up. Lucious scratched his head and left his office, he walked down the staircase and made his way outside, in case Willie couldn't find the place, he was gonna have to wait for him.

Willie was just hanging out eating muffins with Roscoe and planning on doing pretty much nothing for the rest of the day. Roscoe was half way through a particularly tasty blueberry muffin when the phone rang. He immediately put down his muffin and in one big jump lept from the table to the counter and grabbed the phone, before jumping back and handing it to Willie.

"Hey thanks bud!" Willie said to Roscoe before answering the phone.

"...Hello? Who's this?"

"Hey Willie. It's Lucious, gonna need you to help me out with something and I don't wanna talk about it over the phone. Meet me over at the Uccello headquarters."

"...Alright. I'll be on the way over."

Willie hung up the phone and looked over at Roscoe who had gone right back to his muffin. 

"Well looks like I am heading to Seattle... gonna need to find you a monkey sitter..." Willie said to Roscoe while scratching his chin and thinking.

Willie managed to convince his neighbor to watch Roscoe while he was gone, she was an elderly lady but Roscoe was usually pretty good so Willie wasn't worried. He might even be able to stay home alone pretty soon but he didn't feel like trying that out right now, not when it sounded like Lucious needed help with something important. 

Willie headed straight to the airport after dropping off Roscoe and jumped on the next plane to Seattle. When he arrived in Seattle he got himself a cab and gave the driver the address of the Uccello headquarters. 

"Thanks a bunch!" Willie said cheerfully as he handed the driver a pile of cash from his pocket.

He stepped out onto the sidewalk in front of the Uccello headquarters and hurried up the walkway to the front door. All this sitting and thinking first on the plane and then in the cab had made Willie extremely curious what he was actually in town to help with.  He reached up and knocked on the door and within a few seconds Lucious swung it open. 

"Lucious! So what's the story?" He asked.

"At least come in first, come on..." Lucious replied as he motioned for Willie to follow him inside. 

Lucious waited outside and checked his watch periodically. It was gonna be a couple of hours before he landed in Seattle, nonetheless time was dwindling but it wasn't nothing he could keep himself occupied with, he wasn't sure why he wanted to wait outside so early, with that he stood up and went back inside to go back to his office. That folder was still on his mind, a contract on such an important target and for what he wondered? Maybe reasons he would need to ask Fio somewhere down the road. 

His body was running on limited energy however, most of the stuff he needed to do was finished for the day; I guess the important part now comes is rest, since the man was gonna have to step out again to take care of business with this contract that was assigned to himself specifically and no one else, secrecy was probably key though. His gut feeling tells him it wasn't as easy as just walking up to him in the middle of nowhere and shooting him.

Lyon would have to nap on it. The couch in the lobby would do.

***

Lucious wakes up and gets himself reacquainted with his surroundings. Willie was surely to be arriving any minute now, standing up from the couch the man made his way to the window that could pretty much see just the street and whatever was in front of the door leading into the headquarters, Willie was right on time however as he arrived in a taxi and watched as the driver and Nelson give their farewells, he was quick ot head over to the door and knock on it though.

Lyon swinged the door open.

"Lucious! So what's the story?" Willie asked.

"At least come in first, come on..." Lucious said as he motioned him inside. 

Willie walked through the door and Lyon shut it right behind him.

"Wait here."

Lucious went to his office and came back with a folder, he revealed the contents to Willie as he was walking around the lobby.

"Got a hit that was assigned to me this afternoon. Fio must've dropped it on my desk, had it assigned to me and he noted down I should bring someone with me. It's a hit on some Irish family leader down here in Ballard, word is they have control of some office building and pretty much made it their own, though it's in secret so some random citizen doesn't just call the cops."

Lucious put the folder in Nelson's hands so he could get yet a closer look at it.

"You up for it?"

Willie read over the file Lucious had handed him, making sure to hmm and haw a little bit for dramatic effect, even though he already knew he was going to say yes. Turned out they were going to go get rid of some bad ass office dwelling Irish guy.

"Sounds like fun, I am in!" Willie said as he finally put down the folder. 

Luciuous took the folder back from Willie and disappeared back upstairs, so Willie just waited in the lobby for him to return. When he returned he had two duffel bags and tossed one of them to Willie. 

"My car is out front, bring that." Was all he said as he headed out the front door and out to his car. 

Willie followed and jumped in the passengers seat of the car. Curious about the bag he opened it up to have a look inside and noticed that it was packed full with dynamite. 

"Whoa!" Willie said glancing over at Lucious.

"Close the bag would ya?" Lucious responded as he continued driving. 

Willie put the bag on the floor of the car by his feet and they drove in silence for a little while until finally coming to a stop out front of an office building right in the center of Ballard. 

"Leave the bag in the car." Lucious said as he got out and locked all the doors.

He lead Willie to a small coffee shop across the street from the offices. They got some coffee and found a table by the front window. Willie took a sip of his coffee and had to stop himself from spitting it back out on the table.

"Dude... this coffee is horrible, why are we here?" He asked looking up at Lucious. 

"Well we are not here for the coffee.." 

Lucious took a small pad of paper and a pencil out of his coat pocket as he spoke and laid it on the table.

"We need to scope the place out a bit and come up with a plan, you thought we'd just charge in with guns and explosives and hope for best?" ​​​​​​​He said giving Willie a disproving look. 

"Well, your idea works too... it is an office building though, not sure how much unexpected intel we are gonna gather from across the street..." Willie answered as he starred at the office building out the window.

"Well I just like to as be as prepared as possible before I charge in and start shooting people." Said Lucious with a shake of his head. 

Lucious stood there as Willie watched over the file. Everything had to be cinematic with Willie though, it took a couple of seconds before he finally said yes.

"Sounds like fun, I am in!" Willie stated.

"Wait here." Lucious replied.

Lyon walked all the way back up to his office and started to search for his stash of dynamite. He began to load up half of the stash into separate duffel bags and zipped them back up, it packed quite a few pounds; Lucious hauled the bags back downstairs and tossed Nelson one of the bags, using his free hand to point outside.

"My car is out front, bring that."

The duo made their way to the car and Lucious dumped his bag in the back while jiggling the keys. They both entered and started to make their way out into traffic, there was a coffee shop across the street from the office complex that Irish mobsters had taken over; after parking up on the side of the road they made way inside the business and sat down. He watched the office as guys kept walking around while Willie was taking a sip of his coffee, then he spit it out.

"Dude... this coffee is horrible, why are we here?" Willie said.

"We aren't here for the coffee."

Lucious grabbed a piece of paper and pencil and began drawing out a possible layout of the place.

"We need to watch the place a bit. You'd think we just charge in with guns and explosives and hope for the best?"

Lucious gave Willie one of those disapproving looks.

"It is an office building though, not sure how much unexpected intel we are gonna gather from across the street..."

Lucious looked up at Willie.

"I just like to be prepared as possible before I charge in and start shooting people."

***

Some time has passed and a car pulled to the office, supposedly apart of the group, however it wasn't a large number just about two of them that walked inside. A group of them were beginning to leave and none of the people there were his target so he didn't think much of it, they left in a vehicle and sped off.

"Couple of guys just left but it's not the guy we're here for. Less people for us to deal with if we go in, guy doesn't seem to have that much protection... Guess we're going in through the front door." Lucious said.

WillieNelson looked at him and shook his head.

"But that was my plan this whole time!"

"Oh shut it. Come on."

The two left the shop and Lucious went for the trunk and showcased a couple of weapons available. One Thompson, two pistols and a Remington.

"Pick what you want."

Willie followed Lucious out to the car and was given the choice of taking a Thompson, two pistols and a Remington from the trunk.

"Can I have both pistols? Two pistols would be pretty awesome!" Willie said excitedly.

Lucious gave him a strange look but handed him both pistols and grabbed the Thompson for himself. They left the dynamite in the car for now, deciding it was probably a terrible idea to get into a shootout while holding it... and headed over to the front door of the office building. 

There was only eight people on the first floor and they all seemed to be busy working away at their desks. Nobody important ever seemed to work on the bottom floor of their building. Lucious and Willie took a few steps forward and stood there in the middle of the room with their guns drawn, but nobody noticed, they all just kept working away at their desks.

"Hmm, weird..." Willie said to Lucious

There was still no response from the workers so Willie made a loud throat clearing noise and held up his guns. Everyone on the floor started to panic, screaming and running straight out the door as fast as they could. 

"Well, that was easy..." Willie said looking around at the empty floor.

"Alright well, the guys we want will be upstairs... lets find the stair case and get this over with." Lucious replied. 

It didn't take too much searching to find the staircase, turned out to be right in front of them, maybe five feet away. There was even a sign on the door labelling it as 'Stairs'. They headed up to the top floor and Lucious paused before opening the door and turned to Willie.

"Alright, ready?" He asked.

Willie gave both guns a quick check, before nodding to Lucious to open the door.

Showtime. Lucious shook his head at giving Willie both pistols because it seemed like he wanted to make this seem it was one of those action films except not directed by Michael Bay, just directed by some magic narrator but even that would be terrible. Lyon closed the trunk after they finished choosing their weaponry but deciding to leave it in the car until later when the requirement of getting rid of the evidence came into play, they trailed along to the office.

However, when they finally made their way inside towards a busy area. Nobody even bothered to look up, it was almost like they were robots or not real people. Must be some crazy work if even a couple of armed guys strolled into the building.

"Hmm, weird..." Willie said to Lucious.

Lucious looked at him and shrugged. But Willie had other plans, he cleared his throat as loud as possible and when people looked up they began to run straight out of the door not even bothering to scrape shoulders with the duo, Lyon scratched his chin and it almost felt awkward for a moment.

"The guys we want will be upstairs, let's get a move on." Lucious said to Willie.

They both found the staircase even while there was a sign there. They went up a couple floors and stacked on opposite of a double door that lead into another section, there were windows which made it possible to look inside and Lucious took advantage of it for a minute. There were guys playing poker and others drinking alcohol while watching television, seems like the classic hangout spot for anyone except it was just restricted to the Irish Mob.

The accents made it obvious each time they yelled something out. Lucious looked at Willie while he stood there.

"Alright, ready?"

Willie gave Lucious the go-ahead. They stormed in and began shooting, they were able to nick a couple guys in the chest before others began setting up fortifications by flipping tables, the duo split up momentarily while Lucious hid by a wall and Willie hid behind a table he flipped over, anybody that was outside the office would probably be able to hear a lot of gun shots and the place ended up turning to shit within just a few seconds, cards were on the floor, bulletholes were being made in the wall and cash was all over the place. Even blood happened to mix in with the party as well.

Both sides exchanged shots for a few minutes while a couple of them yelled slurs and curse words, every word in the dictionary. Lucious peeked out and sprayed one that peeked his head out over the table to fire back, he slumped back while embracing death. The rest decided to retreat back further into another section of the place, yelling was still heard and it seemed like there were more just gearing up for war.

Lucious looked over at Willie and Nelson gave him a thumbs up.

"Let's move on!" Lucious said.
