10:20 pm-Old City District Philadelphia PA-Diamond Dogs  HQ

THE BEGINNING:

Silent Assassin just returned to Diamond Dogs HQ not saying a word to any his crew members , locked himself in an office.  He poured himself a double rum & coke . S,A had a lot on his mind.He just learned that someone whom he held dear to his heart was assassinated: A beautiful dark haired woman named Rain

He took a long drink , leaned back in his chair and opened up his wallet pulling out an old photograph which was  one of the few photos hes ever taken of himself let alone with anyone else. It showed himself and 2 smiling teenage girls one on each side of him and he had his arms around both of  them. Their names : Rain and Harper. He thought back to  the first time he met the spirited girls

One sunny morning S.A pulled up in his 4 car black Sedan  to  the Maxwell Boarding school and the elderly housemistress Mrs. Andrews  brought out the two young sisters by their arms and hair who were yelling screaming and resisting. At that moment SilentAssassin knew they had the wild spirit and  fire in them that he was looking for in young pupils 

"Thank god i get to get away from you you old battleaxe" shouts a young Rain. "Yeah another day and you would have been in the hospital " yells an angry Harper Mrs. Andrews snaps back "you girls are going with Mr. Samuel hes going to teach you girls some discipline and become proper ladies!" She yells almost shoving them at him and storms back to the school.

"Get in! Now!" SilentAssassin tells the girls with a stern voice and look. The two sisters look at each other then get in his car, and their journey to a new life began.  "Where we going mister?" Harper asks then snickers and nudges rain "i dont think some bald headed goofball is gonna teach US any discipline" the two girls burst out into laughter. S.A  quickly slammed on the brakes making the startled  girls lurch forward, turned around and give them a glare that they would soon become very familiar with.

"I am going to teach you skills that will help you survive in this world" SilentAssassin says calmly, Rain replies "UH UH no way are you pimping us out!  ive heard what happens to girls that get taught certain "Skills" by older men.

S.A shakes his head "no no what im going to teach you will prevent you from ever having to resort to using those type of skills to survive in life and these skills are not used by proper ladies either." Rain and Harper looked at each other turned to him and said at the same time  "what do you.." SILENCE!" S.A snaps "you will learn step by step what i mean. First we will head to my complex where there are 2 rooms for you  and proper nutritious meals will be provided. Nutrition is fuel for the mind as well as the body. Tomorrow your lessons and training shall begin" He puts the car back in drive and proceeded to his headquarters and Rain and Harper's new home. 

SilentAssassin was one of the top skilled hitmen in the country for many years. He has received both private contracts as well as top secret government contracts to take out certain targets such as foreign enemy diplomats and some of the most dangerous people in the world.  He has personally trained dozens of men and women on how to become highly skilled assassins themselves.  He discovered that  a few certain young individuals also have this ability and made up the moniker of Mr, Samuel who ran a disciplinary school for young boys and girls to recruit them as well. 

Rain and Harper both trained for 6-8 hours a day for weeks that became months then years. He pushed their bodies to the absolute limits until they were in tip top shape, he exposed them to things that struck absolute fear into them so they would develop nerves of steel, and educated them on many disciplines of combat and life skills so their minds were always sharp and knowledgeable. The girls were quick studies and became experts in both hand to hand combat as well as snipers with a pistol and rifle.  On their 18th birthday they were offered their very first hit contracts. Rain & Harper completed with ease making SilentAssassin proud. The continued doing so every time with little or no  problems at all.

9 months went by and Harper told S.A she was leaving to live and learn more about life and was grateful for what she was taught. Despite his insistence on staying Harper left to venture out in the world.   Rain stayed with SilentAssassin until one hit contract that almost killed an innocent little girl  changed her so much that she refused any contracts from anyone including a Mr Santos Coleman  and left the business behind her .This made Santos furious enough to hunt down  Rain and on a rainy dark night he and 2 of his henchmen managed to get several clean shots through the windows of her apartment killing both Harper's sister Rain and their younger brother Skadoosh instantly.

SilentAssassin shook his head to bring himself back and finished his drink. He decided the reign of terror by Mr. Coleman was over

He put the photo back in his wallet, picked up the phone to call Harper to whom he reunited with at Madeline Manor and in a serious tone he replied "its me. Meet me at San Gabriel and bring Carter ill bring Quadir. its time to take Santos Coleman  down permanently

10:45pm Villagers Manor. Greenwich Village, NY

When Harper hung up the phone with @SilentAssassin hearing that voice in its serious tone replying "its me. Meet me.  Nothing more needed to be said sometimes.

She sat down with a drink started reminiscing about her journey with S.A as her mentor over the years. Not just in her professional life but her personal life as well.

 When he picked them up Maxwell Boarding school everyone thought Harper was mad and out of control.  It was true she was still grieving her mother’s death but she wasn’t mad or stupid. Mrs. Andrew was a bitch. This wasn’t an orphanage it was a boarding school and her contrary ass was being paid well.

She remembered how she loved the small complex S.A established.  He allowed her and her sister in his private quarters. Harper would sneak around when S.A wasn’t there.  She learned quickly what he was into and despite several “no’s he gave in and agreed to train them under the conditions they listened, worked and learned.  Of course Harper wanted to do things her way.  Bear in mind S.A would insist that she do it his way, then would just give in sometimes and let her do it her way.  She remembered when he taught her the roundhouse kick, he couldn’t believe the damage she could do in a pair of stilettos. Harper laughed to herself as she took a sip of her drink.

She recalled the time when S.A sent them to Paris to study with Madam Roberta Baudelaire.  She first taught them how to be confident. She said men are attracted to confidence and women jealous. She taught them the art of flirting, how not to go too far, how to always wear the scent of alluring perfumes. She gave them an array of samples with fragrances Harper never imagine could smell so enticing.

After two weeks with Madam Baudelaire she and her sister ended up at Madam Florentine’s Charm School, another bitch in Harper’s eyes.  After 3 days of learning good posture, table manners and how to cross at the ankles she had enough. She remembers telling Madam Florentine to kiss her charming ass, she hooked up with some friends she had met, and it took S.A and my sister five days to find her.

Then one day S.A realized she was a young woman with the talent to out shine, outperform some of his best capable men.

Harper finished her drink and told herself enough reminiscing.

She phone @StormCloud, told him of the meeting  S.A. needed. They arranged to for him to pick her up and they would fly out the next morning.  She did a few exercises  to relax. She took a hot shower and dozed off in bed. 

Quadir was sleeping when he heard his phone ringing.  It was @SilentAssassin on the other end.  Qaudir sat up and looked at his clock on his night stand then pulled out a note book and pencil.   He told SA to slow down he needed to know where the meet was.  Qaudir informed SA that he could get them clean guns and cars with plates to drive in and get out of town with.  He told SA he would get more details from him at the meet.   

Quadir knew that SA, Harper and Stormcloud were killers, Quadir was a money man and only killed when all other tactics have failedor the boss sends him with her message to so clown that failed her.  Qaudir then laid back down but couldn't get to sleep.  He spent that night shaking his head and drinking a glass of gin and juice for the next for hours.  

11:00 pm Villagers Manor. Greenwich Village, NY

Carter came back to the apartments and went straight up. He didn't bother spending any time downstairs with anyone or having a chat. He had a lot going through his mind. 

The Durden raids, the collections, the business setup and most of all the grief of not meeting his family or brother from years…

He entered the room and removed his coat and poured himself a heavy drink and went towards the balcony. He looked outside and just could imagine how once upon a time all he could see was lands of trees and farming places. 

He used to live with his grandfather - Uncle Alessandro Giuseppe. He had an old farm of Olive Grove and other vegetables that he bought during the wars and once he finished serving he came back home and setup his little farming business and built a nice house next to it to live out his life there with his wife. His wife passed away when Carter was Age 7. 

As days and time flew by, Carter came to the Age of 16 even though he looked like he was 21. One fine hot sunny day, a car was approaching their farm. Carter saw it coming from afar and informed his grandpa and immediately he asked him to go inside and sit down with the rifle from the basement…

The car approached and 3 men got out, 2 stayed near the car and 1 man approached their house. He was well-suited and fitted and seemed like a business tycoon. 

He walked towards the house and grandpa said "What business do you have here sir"?

"My name is Mario Russo, I’m a friend of your son". 

"Oh Mario, you have surely grown" grandpa invited him inside and Carter was after a few mins, came up from the basement after he heard some normal conversations. 

"This is Carter, my grandson"

Mario introduced himself and told him "I’m an old friend of your father’s, he had asked me to come to meet you and see if you'd be interested to come with me to the states. "

"Oh, how is Dad & Skad"? Carter's first reaction...

Mario had given him the news that they are no more and that he wanted Mario to come to meet him when the time was due. 

Mario explained everything to Carter and the life his father & brother had, and what had happened to him. It made sense as to why his father kept Carter away from all this from a young age. Carter listened to it all and without a moment wasted he agreed to go with Mario and under him and learn all the ways of being a Mafioso in the ‘Ndrangheta Crime Family. They were one of the most feared Italian Mafia families. That was the only way he’d find out who killed his father and brother. He had to work his way upto it.

Fast forward a few years, Carter had learned everything he could and had moved up the ranks in the crime family too, Mario informed him that he had details about his brothers killer and that he was somewhere in the states. He had pulled up an investigation on them and found some details that a guy named by name of @SilentAssassin was the one to speak too. He was happy to hear the news, and wanted to leave immediately to go find out the whereabouts.

Mario also mentioned that Carter had a step-sister by the name of @Harper who was under the care of SA during her adolescence age. Word was that she took out a mean old SOB that was just ripping off the community and she disappeared. He had setup a meeting point for him at Chicago where Harper was and hopefully she could get him settled in and find him a place to call home. Carter was really excited to meet someone who he could call family and had so many thoughts running in his mind, as to how he’d greet her or meet her and how the first conversation would go.

However leaving the family wasn't an easy job, but Mario had pulled strings to ensure Carter was able to leave and always remained a member of the family as he had vouched for him and if he ever needed any assistance the Ndranghetta was there for him in NY also, this was a favor only the few had received from the Ndranghetta ever. 

Carter reached Chicago to find out that someone called Santos took out a hit on them. He was devastated to hear this and didn't care for who or what that guy is. Revenge was the only thing on his mind and he setout to get it.

He finished his drink and changed his coat and meanwhile the phone rang and it was @Harper "Get ready and come pick me up. We are flying out tomorrow. They were going to meet up with @Quadir-Richards and @SilentAssassin there"

11:45 pm Villagers Manor. Greenwich Village, NY

The phone rang and Harper wondered who could be calling her this late.  When she answered the phone it was Claudette sounding really excited.  She told Harper she couldn’t believe the good news she had.  She had gained Harper curiosity. After discovering the Santos was behind of murders of Rain and Skad they placed a few informants out on the streets.

Claudette said she was turned on to one of Santos girls.  Her name was Popsicle and she had talked to her and is a very reliable source.  She asked Harper if she and @StormCloud could fly into Los Angeles a little early and meet her and Popsicle at Clairvoyant Manor Apartments.  Harper told her of course they would, she would make arrangement for an earlier flight, called Carter and tell him about everything, they would leave early.  After making the flight arrangements she called Carter and they planned to leave within the hour.

Carter had just arrived in the States not to long ago and Harper was amazed at how fast and well he was adjusting to his new life and their relationship was growing so strong. He was right on time, they made their way to the airport, they had a smooth flight arrived on time in LA and made their way to the apartments. 

9:53 am Clairvoyant Manor Apartments

Harper couldn’t believe the information Popsicle shared with them.  She had such a disdain for Santos.  From the old and new bruises Harper saw she knew that she had been taking some abuse from him. There’s nothing worse than a woman scorned.  She told them about the weekly Thursday parties they had at a hideaway house in the Rancho Estates. They decided to bring Popsicle to the meeting with @SilentAssassin and @Quadir-Richards.

2:00 pm San Gabriel Vineyards

When Harper, Carter, Claudette and Popsicle arrived S.A had his staff prepare a very nice meal for them.  As they sat and ate Popsicle explained in detail everything she knew about Santos and the weekly parties.  S.A had an artist there and he made drawings of the house as Popsicle described them.  After they received enough information from Popsicle, S.A gave her a very generous tip and told her his driver would take her where she needed to go and they would be in touch with her.

1:00 pm  Clairvoyant Manor Apartments

@Harper and Carter made their way into respective cars. Claudette followed Carter into his and Popsicle went with Harper.

Carter had a 3rd car following Harper's car. His memory had a lot of blood moments when he thought about his brother and Rain. How rain got gunned down, he wasn't going to let that repeat ever again with him around, he knew everyones day will come but not a day where someone shoots you from the back.

He gave Joey specific instructions to maintain a distance and always keep an eye on her 24/7, regardless of the day or night, cold or hot, snow or no snow. He made it very clear to Joey that her life was his life and that was all he had to say to Joey. Joey grew up with Carter since they were kids and he had him come over to the states in the hope he can get him work and he surely did.

Carter couldn't trust anyone in the world he lived in, and one can only be so safe and precautious he thought. Carter drove the car in haste towards to the San Gabriel Vineyards. SA and Quadir were to meet up there.

2:00 pm San Gabriel Vineyards

On their arrival SA setup a private meeting room and a nice buffet of Lunch prepared for them. Carter walked into seeing them waiting for them so they can start it. During their lunch Popsicle broke down all the details precisely of what happens on the Thursday nights. She had accurate details of the rooms and where everyone would be at situated. But Carter still planned for errors as nothing is perfect in the current world. He had Joey in the picture too who wasn't mentioned or included in the chats.

They were finally ready to put a plan together based on Popsicle’s information.

Chapter 2-The Plan

2:15pm- Conference room #1  San Gabriel Vineyards.

SilentAssassin knew it was time to form a plan and put it into action. He and Quadir-Richards were waiting for Harper,Stormcloud and a prostitute that Harper knew who was close to Santos named Mary Ellen but went by the name Popsicle.

He put on a very nice brunch for everyone to relax and enjoy before discussing matters at hand. S,A hired a well known sketch artist named Steve  who is able to draw sketches  of people,places,buildings including room designs just from listening to people telling and describing them to him. Popsicle proceeded to go into great detail of the Thursday parties and what took place almost every hour to the minute beginning from the living room where they gathered to  drink and consumed drugs to which bedroom each person ended up in. From the way Popsicle described it Steve was even able to sketch out location in the house of where they stashed weapons and how the back entrance ws supposed to have been barricaded by 3 2X4 planks

S,A took a long drink of his double rum & coke looking at each individual around the table. Quadir was making mental preparations to carry out his tasks before he made a phone call to his contacts. Stormcloud was calculating to see if there were any possible traps that could present themselves based on the description form Popsicle and then there was Harper.

Her eyes and body language said it all. During her training, SilentAssassin and Harper occasionally clashed over how she was to execute on her training lessons. Most of the time she followed his directions   but at times her intensity matched his and he allowed her to proceed in a way she felt fit as long as it was not on the borderlines of recklessness.

SilentAssassin wished to be the one to put a bullet in Santos head, For the last thing for Santos to ever see was S,As cold eyes before he died would have been revenge for killing Rain and Skadoosh,  but in this instance he knew what had to be done. Harper gave her former mentor  a look with fire and tear filled eyes  and did not need to say a single word.  S,A looked back at her and  nodded.  it was only right that she be the one to take Santos down for good.

Harper took the last few bites of her sandwich, took a sip of her coca cola, gently wiped her mouth with her napkin.

Carter you know I love you dearly and Quadir I appreciate your concern but @@SilentAssassin roll in a certain way. Rain is dead because this is the life she, S.A and I chose and we need to handle this.  The two of you being there in case things go bad is all we need.  No job is easy but this one is very much in our favor.  S.A and I can be in and out of there in no time.

Please don’t underestimate our professionalism.  The mere fact that you are aware of it already compromises our relationship.

Santos is our target. We are not in the business of killing innocent bystanders or associates.  In our world Santos is known as an instigator, one who hires to kill. We value a person’s life. There has to be strong, concrete reasons to take on a contract.  We don’t take contracts for someone seeking to collect the life-insurance payout, or a police officer who had been slapping business’s vehicles with tickets or someone fucked your wife. My sister denied his contract because it didn’t warrant her expertise.

S.A and I are like stealth bombers, please don’t think too little of the adept and knowledgeable in stealth and shadow manipulation we have acquired.  S.A and I know how to escape circumstances that may go wrong from advance preparation.

 Our men posing as the city gas inspectors have already cased the house out. The entire environment has been analyzed. There are only two entrances to the house the front door and the back door.  The back door is completely blocked.  Our men estimate it would take at least 3 minutes for two people to clear it and at least 5 minutes for one. As I said  It bolted by 3 2 by 4’s. There were no tools in the vicinity to accomplish such a task.

There is no back up plans.  Once we go in its mission accomplish by any means necessary.  Now, like I said Santos and Nickolas who was the triggerman in hit  our my sister and brother, they are the targets,  some others might get shot but we will not shoot to kill.

We are hoping to time it so we find Santos already in the bedroom.  If not we are prepared to handle the situation accordingly.

Please don’t take it personal but I feel we got this.

Quadir hearing Harper understood he wasn't needed.   He gave a nod and a smirk then finished his drink.  Quadir then looked at SA and told him after this they were square and if he needed anything else going forward it was going to cost, free labor was out.  He looked at Stormcloud and Harper and wished them the best.    Quadir walked over to the phone and place one call and merely said get the stuff ready two in and two for the departure.  Quadir hung the phone up and with a serious look wiped his prints off the phone then his glass.  He gave a nod to them as he headed out.  

Harper went and made herself a stronger drink.  @SilentAssassin gave her the “please be cool” look.  She completely ignored it.  It had been almost four years since she stepped out of the business, was succeeding at having a normal life and really didn’t want to convert back to the old Harper.  

 The Harper who believed men have grown embarrassingly weak, but only through observation of course, that their resolve can easily be broken, their emotion easily manipulated, their power easily taken, their pride easily stripped, and their entire life easily ruined, all by a woman.  She felt that was the mentality of the profession and was ready for a change, to deal with men in a totally different mindset. The few time she was in @Quadir-Richards presents she felt she saw a very confident man, one that could deal with a very confident woman.  She started second guessing herself.  From the nod and a smirk he gave her, had she dropped her guard that much?

Quadir you don’t me. When it comes to my past profession my identity has been anonymous, so why would you perceive me as a killer.  Unlike a killer who selects their own victims, my targets have always been carefully chosen.  Although we share the common characteristics of killing victims in separate and unrelated events, my motivation to kill was financial.  Unlike one who just kills, any emotional or psychological gratification I received was secondary to the financial motive.   Except in this case, this is personal. 

Harper turned to S.A.

This is your entire fault S.A.   You broke the golden rule and let your emotions’ get involved. You’re grieving the death of Rain and Skad to the point you wanted to take out Santos entire gang. That’s why you would need the extra assistance of others like Quadir.  You took your eyes off the prize.  You know we don’t kill for being guilty by association.

 We go in with too many guns, innocent people might get killed. Everything that Popsicle has told us so far pans out. There’s no doubt in my or Claudette’s mind that she isn’t the real deal.  With the Intel and coordination we have you know damn well we can be in and out, confront Santos, find out who the triggerman  because we know his sorry ass wasn't, and then he will be a dead man. Of course we know it always in our best interest to have that back up on the outside.

Quadir my apology if you feel we have wasted time but staying focus Santos will be an easy target.  S.A and I  going in alone is the best solution if merely for personal reasons. That’s how I feel.

Carter was observing and listening to everything that was being said around the table. 

After listening to all the ideas, @Haper 's face had somewhat of a disagreement. @Quadir-Richards had a plan in place which ensured we covered all the bases with everyone having a spot. Carter wasn't keen to let Harper drive with anyone else, but he knew that @SilentAssassin & Quadir were right up there regarding trust levels for Harper. 

Harper looked at Carter & Quadir with a sense of not agreeing. She hit Carter with the "I love you but" and Carter knew she was going to come up with another plan. She and Rain had learned a lot from SA in their young days and even after. She wanted to do the job with SA next to her in one car and having Carter/Quadir watching out from a far and then making their move towards the house after a few minutes. This was a quick job and had to be done in less than couple minutes. Harper wasn't going to waste time with theatrics or a long conversation. Carter knew what was on her mind.

He knew it wasn't the best plan, but the plan that was needed to ensure they got out quick and swiftly. Carter took a few moments and ran all the scenarios in his mind. He still was going to get Joey to watch over from a far. The recent delivery he had made for the gift (M1C/M1D Garand) was for this occassion.

"Right guys, regardless of what the go is, Joey will be watching over us from a far distant location with a Sniper. He is the best shooter I have known and Id rather have him as our Eagle eyes to ensure we have no trouble. I'm happy to go ahead with Harper's suggestion, keeping in mind its not the best one, but with how we are planning this and with Joey in place also, I believe this is a full proof plan. We can go ahead with this, if everyone is onboard". As much as id love Quadir with us, his decision is his and I can't arue there. 

Carter wasn't really happy with how @Quadir-Richards took his leave, but he respected his decision and why he perceived it that way. He gave Quadir the nod as he left the room. There was that look where you could tell that you'd meet with Quadir again, but that was for a later day. 

Carter took a gulp of his whiskey and lit up a cigarette

SilentAssassin's head was confused for a brief moment as he watched Quadir-Richards nod and leave the room. Was Harper right that it's his fault? was he so bent on revenge that he lost focus on what needed to be done? S.A. shook his head and got up to go after Quadir. After a brief discussion between them, S.A. returned with Quadir.

S, A pours himself another drink and then looks at everyone "Harper you are correct in the fact that I may have lost focus but that does not take away the fact that Quadir has skills that I know will help us in this mission. He has helped me with Mr. Larry Mutt which ill tells you both about later. The best plan is for you and me to go in on foot only. It will take mere minutes to find Santos and find out who the triggerman was following his order. Carter, I still want you to have your sniper Joey ready in case something goes wrong and he needs to take a shot or 2. Quadir I believe you can give us some equipment that is much needed for this. Harper will give a signal and you two come in. Once inside, Quadir you know what to look for and how to get it, Carter, you need to face Santos as much as Harper does.

Suppose we find out who the triggerman who  shot Rain and Skadoosh I'm the last person he will ever see. We will meet with the spotters once more to make sure nothing has changed.

It's time not only to execute a plan but execute Santos and company.

Chapter 3-The Execution

Thursday Evening 7pm - San Gabriel Vineyards conference room

SilentAssassin and Harper meet with the two scouts  to discuss last minute details and  make sure that everything about the party has not changed . In the meantime,  Claudette was talking with Popsicle to ensure that tings  remained as calm and normal as possible including indulging in drinking  and doing drugs.  Popsicle stated that Santos would have his bedroom light off due to him being fat and ashamed of his body. She then put her head down and stated "i kinda feel sorry for him but i know he must die".  Hearing those words did not sit well with Claudette and after she finished the meeting, she  immediately  called S.A at San Gabriel  to tell him what Popsicle said to her. He picked up the phone and upon hearing this, he  shook his head and  simply replied "I'm sorry but she knows too much and needs to go especially if she voluntarily or involuntarily tips him off.  Thank you very much for letting me know Claudette" and hung up.

9pm- Santos Coleman's cabin hideaway

In a sleek black 4 door sedan,,Quadir Richards,Carter, Harper and SilentAssassin slowly drove up the wooded path about 200 yards from the cabin. They turned the car and lights off and S,A got out to scope the front of the cabin with night vision binoculars.Once he determined it was clear, he looked over at Harper and nodded.  They got out and quickly  geared up with masks, gloves and JM tranquilizer dart guns that Qaudir was able to obtain for them and proceeded on foot stealthily up to the front door of the cabin.

The drive to the Wexford Estates was pretty quiet.  I felt relatively calm and focused. I wasn’t going to let my hate for Santos deviate from the standard procedures.

We parked the car parked by the wooden area about two hundred yards from the house.  S.A. and I geared up, putting on our specially-made head covers and gloves.  We made our way through the man-made pathway to the house through the woods. At the end of the pathway, S.A. scoped out the house and waved me to head to the door to unlock it.  I already knew what tool to use and it unlocked easily and I signaled it was all good.

S.A. entered the house first, I walked slowly behind him.  He quickly shot two having fun on the couch with his tranquilizer dart gun.  They were out in seconds.  He switches to carrying two firearms, the tranquilizer gun in one hand and his pistol in the other. I trained my left hand hard but unlike S.A. I never built enough strength to fire with the accuracy needed.

We proceeded up the stairs to the bedrooms.  S.A. signals me to open one of the bedroom doors we knew Santos wasn’t in.  I opened the door to a threesome, one male and two females. S.A. goes in, fires on the male, and I hit one of the females, S.A reloads and hits the other female with a dart before they even know what’s going on. We reloaded. I opened the door to the next bedroom but when we entered no one was in there. Since everything was well under control, I heard the car drive up as planned.  I went downstairs and summit @StormCloud. We hurried up the stair to meet S.A., drew our pistols, and headed for the room we knew Santos was in.   

S.A. went in first, snatched Santos’s naked body from the bed, and slammed him into a chair.  Popsicle just pulled the covers over her and moved to the corner of the bed.

SilentAssassin kicked open the bedroom door turned on the light and stormed in. he grabbed Santos' body still wrapped in a blanket and slammed him into the chair by the bed. He turned to Popsicle who cowered in the corner with the covers around her and glared at her "You feel sorry for this piece of shit? Im surprised you did not tip him off." She stammered trying to speak  but before she could utter a word S.A raised his silenced colt 1911 and put 2 bullets into Mary Ellen ending her life.

Almost in the same motion he turned and shoved the pistol into Santos mouth who was trembling scared for his life. "YOU killed someone that i cared for deeply and you will pay," Santos mumbles "who..was...it?"  S.A took the pistol out of his mouth and struck Santos across the face with it sending him tumbling back and blood spraying from his face. SilentAssassin picked him up and with fire in his eyes he simply said "Rain"

Santos shook his head "wasn't me!  i did not kill her or her brother i swear" S.A glared "WHO DID IT?"  Santos trembled "well ...S.A cracked Santos on the side of the head sending him to the floor and then pounced on him putting the gun to his head "GIVE ME THE NAME!" Santos coughing up blood said "his name is *cough* Nic-Nicholas..h-his brother..went.to..*coughs up more blood gasping for air* prison cause...she ...didn't..*cough* take the..*gasp* contract and he.killed R-rain and...her brother' S,As eyes went cold "is he in this house?" Santos weakly nodded "y-yes hes ..in..th-the..*gasps and coughs* s-study down...stairs ..please..h-have merc..

SilentAssassin  got up and pointed his pistol between his eyes  "DON'T ...say that word i swear ill empty this gun in your skull right here right now!" He hears the footsteps of Harper and Carter and replies "there's two people who want to meet you in person..."  he begins to leave as they enter removing their headgear pistols in hand . Santos stammers "wh-who.".S,A turns back to him and replies "Meet Carter and Harper... Rain and Skadoosh's brother and sister."  S,A looks at them and nods "hes all yours i got the triggerman" and heads downstairs. Leaving Santos to two people ready to exact their revenge on him.

The day of reckoning was upon them...@SilentAssassin, @Harper, @Quadir-Richards and Carter all rode in a Black Sedan car towards the wooded area. As you would any job, they started to get ready as they got closer to the location and meanwhile the car lights went off and the road was occupied by them and the dirt that they stood on. There was nothing in between them and Santos now, besides the silent air and the birds chirping. SA got out and scouted the area quickly and gave @Harper the go ahead. 

Joey was already camped near the top and scoping way before they all arrived. It was an all clear from Joey's end , no movement since he got here and the coast has been clear". 

Quadir and Carter got all the gear and handed it over to Harper and SA to get ready and get moving. Harper and SA made their way down into the cabin. A few moments later Carter saw Harper come out and he made his way out there and went up with her to the first floor and headed into Santos Room. Carter was more than ready for this and was looking out for this day from a long time. 

As they entered the room, SA dragged Santos's big naked body down and as he hit the floor, he seemed to have hit his nose and blood was running out nonstop. The popsicle was seen in the corner with the blank covered over her body and eyes slightly closed...

"You don't know who we are, but know this, it's the end of the line for you."

Santos was hurting in pain from the slam he got from SA...

@StormCloud and I entered the room with our guns drawn.  We saw Popsicle’s limp body on the bed and Santos was sitting in the chair begging for his life. Then @SilentAssassin said the words. He's all yours.

I told him to stand up and turn around.  He tried to cover his naked body with the blanket still pleading. I told him he had someone shoot my brother and sister in the back of the head.  I called him a fucking low-life coward. I froze thinking about the hatred I had for his man.  Carter tapped me on my arm. I looked at Santos shaking and then at Carter. On three I said.  One, two three, and two bullets hit Santos in the head.  The blood splattered as he dropped to the floor.  Both Carter and I turned around and walked out of the bedroom. 

SilentAssassin was heading downstairs to the study to find Nicholas the man who pulled the trigger killing Rain and her brother Skadoosh.  He stopped for a brief moment hearing the two shots that ended Santos Coleman's miserable life and felt a bit of redemption. He passed the two people on the couch who are still unconscious and realized it will not be for much longer. 

He stopped at the doorway and listened to two men talking. "I wish de fat walrus would hurry up bangin his whore and pay me! I didnt think he could last this long in bed" Nicholas laughs. The other man laughs and then asks him "why do you work for such a fat slob, you usually work for higher end clients?" Nicholas just scoffed "ah rocko..He is a lazy man who is fat but so is his wallet whether its a repulsive man like him or a beautiful dame its all cold cash the same"

S.A burst through the room and in one motion tackled Rocko to the ground knocking the wind out of him.  Nicholas stood 6 ft 2 inches tall  260 pounds of pure muscle.  He swung at S,A with a roundhouse that connected to the side of his head sending Silent Assassin crashing to the floor. Nicholas drew his pistol and pointed it as S.A. even though he was woozy from the punch S,A instinctively swept Nicholas' legs from under him putting him on his back. S.A lept on top of him attempting  to wrestle the gun from Nicholas. As the two men jostled ,Rocko slowly got up and pulled out his knife and raised to strike. a sound of broken glass and rocko was put down from a gunshot through the window by Joeys with his sniper rifle. The distraction sent Nicholas' gun across the floor. As he went to reach for it, the last thing Nicholas would ever see is a shoe step on it and SilentAssassin with his colt aimed for his head. "you wont be collecting for killing Rain and Skadoosh,YOU are the one that is going to pay!"  S.A coldly emptied his gun into Nicholas's skull leaving him in a pool of his own blood.

Carter and Harper came down the stairs to meet SilentAssassin who nodded and they returned the nod. a few moments later the darts were collected, the people started to stir and a black cheverolet Sedan drove off into the night after excecuting their sweet revenge.

5pm Great Chicago Memorial Cemetery

Its a calm evening, 3 people are standing at the grave of a fallen brother and sister Rain and Skadoosh.

S.A pulls out the photograph of himself and the 2 young girls he raised, trained and cared for very much and hands it to Harper and Carter their brother and sister.  He walks over to the grave, kneels placing 2 roses to the grave and closes his eyes.

"Your deaths were far too soon but they were avenged. I dont think i ever told you how proud i was of you grasshopper as much as i should have.  You and Harper reminded me at times what it was like to be human again with feelings. There has not and will never be a day that goes by  that i wont miss you. "

He turns around to look at Harper and sees the young girl he picked up from the boarding school many years ago. Harper's strong tough exterior began to shed as she looked back  into her former mentor's  eyes and fell into his arms sobbing uncontrollably letting built up grief and emotions wash over her. As he held her in his arms and Carter rubbing her back SilentAssassin looked over at the grave  to see a faint image of Rain and Skadoosh smiling and nodding before fading away.  SilentAssassin smiled back and did something he has not let himself do in years : Let his own tears stream down his face.
