Author's note: I didn't like the previous version of the prologue that I had written. So I am updating it. Hope this one is better.
Prologue
The man ran into a room and locked the door behind him. He needed to think of something. Fast. His pursuers were close. He could feel it. And then he heard it.
Footsteps. Coming close.
Time was running out. He knew what they were after. And though it was hidden well, he felt that he needed to protect it. That was his real job after all.
The room was dark. Maybe he could attack them without them noticing. He reached for the gun he had hidden under the doormat.
The door flew open and hit him straight in the head. He fell to the ground. Dazed.
Two men leaned down. He couldn't make out the face of either one, though he was sure one was a blonde.
'Where is it?' the blonde asked
'What?' he asked.
He tried to sit up but pain shot up through his temples. He fell back down.
'Haha. Don't make me laugh. You know what. Where is it?'
'Kill him. We don't need him anyway.' the other man growled.
'Yeah sure' the blonde replied, taking out a gun from under his clothes.
The shot rang out into the night.
'Love? Ha… interesting.' the blonde said, putting something into the mouth of the corpse.
'Hey Sasori, by the way, you know where the Raccoon is right? Because I have set up the bombs to detonate within five minutes.' he continued.
'Yes'
A blast shook the night.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The next day a night patrol man would report seeing two people walking out of the museum moments before the blast. He had run after them, but they seemed to have disappeared he would say.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The two called Sasori and Deidara sat in the darkness of the apartment waiting for a call from the one called Pain.
The phone rang.
'Put it on loudspeaker' Sasori asked.
'Yeah, I was gonna do that. Stop telling me what to do.' Deidara said.
A heavy voice came out of the phone.
'What is your status?'
'We have the Raccoon.' Deidara said.
'Excellent. You are to return to base immediately.'
'Okay'
'And Deidara, I need to speak to you alone. Stop the speakerphone'
'Okay' Deidara said and went outside.
He returned a few minutes later.
'What happened?' Sasori asked.
Deidara smiled.
'Nothing. Nothing at all.' Deidara replied.
