Suggested Listening: In for the Kill (lifelike remix) by La Roux

Part One

~Boot~

Bullets rained down on him and he skidded to a stop and tripped over his own shoes but it only ended up making him roll into safety behind the crate. Honestly, how fucking difficult was it to run in a straight line?

Ammunition pelted the outside of his impromptu hiding place and he thought back to the beginning of his day.

.

Mello had been walking down the street after being given the criteria for Rod Ross to listen to him. Kill the Don of another family. Not too difficult... right?

Well it would certainly be easier for him if he didn't have a certain rain cloud of bad luck hovering over him every time he took a step on the ground.

Still, he would accomplish it because it was needed of him and for no other reason.

He had only taken a few days after that to watch the man and learn his schedule. He had his gun stuffed in his leather pants and a planned time to off the guy before he took his afternoon lunch. The only problem was... someone had tipped them off leading to his current predicament.

.

He only had about three maybe four bullets left and who knew how many mafia thugs out their gunning for his blood, along with that overconfident Boss who always stuck around when he should have been in hiding. That, Mello supposed, was the only good thing that had happened thus far in his day.

The shots finally died down but Mello didn't dare stick his head around the edge of the crate, he knew he'd get his head blown off, and not in an even remotely pleasurable way. Instead he eyed the set of stairs off to his right and wondered if he could cross the gab before they could shoot him.

The advancing footsteps told him he didn't have a choice. He rose from his squatting position and sprinted. Bullets whizzed passed him and he took the steps two at a time until the last one where his boot got stuck in the underside of the step and he crashed ungracefully to the metal grating and watched as his gun scattered away and across the floor.

"Son of a bitch!" he cursed and struggled to get his leg free as he heard the laughter and steps walking calmly up the steps behind him. He finally managed to get his leg free with a harsh tug and was surprised when it struck something causing a loud gasp of pain.

He flipped onto his back and realized he'd accidentally kicked one of his attackers in the balls. He grinned menacingly and kicked the man with both feet, watching him knock into his companion behind him as he tumbled down the steps. Neither of them moved as they reached the bottom.

He sprang to his feet as two more shouts reached his ears and he grabbed his wayward gun and took aim from his higher position. Both shots struck their marks and the last body guards went down. Mello grinned, he had one shot left, and one Boss to kill.

He stepped quietly down the walkway and waited until he heard movement. He followed the target with the gun and shot at the last moment. The back of the mans head exploded like a melon.

He whistled lightly as he slowly strolled down the steps and over to the previously alive mob boss. He needed his head for presentation. He pulled a knife from his boot and with any luck he wouldn't end up cutting one of his own fingers off in the process.

It had nothing to do with back luck or chance, he was just a bloody klutz.

-End part 1-

AN: So thoughts? This is all LawlietKeehl's fault. But here we are anyway, a new series to take over Guns & Gold as it comes to an end. Don't expect quick updates with this as i'll have plenty of projects in the works without needing to worry about this. I have no expected length for this, but it might end up around 10 or more. I have no idea.
