Scar's POV

I finished my third cup of whiskey after my talk with the boss. I was pretty pissed at the news. If those stupid little amature assassins weren't there then she would have been dead by now.

I pour myself another full glass before chugging it.

"Yo, Scar. You pissed or somethin?" My partner Eli asks me.

"Yeah. I would have thought you would have listened." I comment bluntly.

"About that Ree is still alive and with the prince?" Eli's twin brother Ike states with an eyeroll.

"Like hell." I grumble before chugging another glass.

"You shouldn't have made that deal, ya know." Ike lectures.

"How are you gonna assassinate her now?" Eli asks.

I frown before I heard the iron doors open and I look back to see another assassin walk through the door. This guy is 5'11 and is in his early twenties somewhere. He has dull amber eye color with short black hair with curls. He also has some black canine bites piercings and on his right ear he has; two lobe loops, a long and thin rim, a spiked forward helix, and a gold snug attached by thin chains to the transverse lobe. Yet his left ear only had three small ring shells. The guy wore a long black trench coat with a belt that went around the torso. And what hung on his belt were bullets from different weapons that he carries daily.

I watched him walk up to an empty table and softly drop his large OSV-96 Russian sniper rifle. Then opening up his trench coat, he unloads six other different types of guns on his body and sets it down right next to his sniper. Without hesitation or any kind of worry, he walks to the side of the room and grabs a cold beer from the cooler. Then he walks back to the table without a miss in his step and opens the beer bottle with his ring he wore on his left thumb.

Ike and Eli give me a slight nudge to get me out of my tance as I kept staring at the guy.

"What are you thinking?" Ike asks.

"Time to pay someone a visit." I said with a smirk before standing up and walking over to the loners table. "Hey Snip." I greet him, but he doesn't say or do anything back. He doesn't even look up at me. "Haven't seen you around actually. Did the boss send you on another out of town service?"

Snip silently snuck his hand into an inside pocket in his trench coat and pulls out six stacks of pure cash and drops it in front of me onto the table. Taking one of the stacks, I saw that they were hundred bills in one-hundred thousand per stack.

"Damn. Who did he kill? J.F.K?" I thought to myself as I fanned the dollars.

"Sweet." I nod and throw the stack back with the other five. "Look. I need a favor." He finally looks up at me and stares at me blankly. "Ree was able to escape and she now lives with the fourth prince; Prince Jun. I have attempted to assassinate her but since he is always around her, she lives till this very day." I frowned as I kept talking. "I need you to attempt an instant kill."

He continued to stare at me before he spoke for the first time. "What's in it for me?"

"Name it." I answer with a smirk.

Snip then stood up and began to holster his guns again and swung his sniper rifle over his shoulder before he spoke to me before leaving.

"A beer."

I watched him leave before I walked back to my table. Ike and Eli both watched me intently before speaking.

"You do know that Snip did hook up with Ree once, right?" Ike asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. Everyone knows that." I replied with a smirk before I poured myself another glass of whiskey and chugged it.

~~~~~ The Fourth Prince ~~~~~

Ree's POV

"Hey, good thing you get to go back today." Ash said to me as I changed into my dress.

"Yeah, it's kinda chaotic in the hospital a little and I will be able to take a shower." I laugh as the two assassins look at each other.

"Well, we'll miss you." May says with a pout.

"Awe, I will miss you two also." I walk up to May and Ash and embrace them for a minute before shouting out to the boys. "You can come in now!"

"Geez, you girls take forever." Fitch says as they came into the room.

"You try putting this dress on." I reply to him sarcastically, making him shake his head and sigh.

"And you try putting on makeup." May comments.

"Wait, why would I even need to put on makeup?" Fitch asks annoyingly.

"Undercover." Ash answers.

"What's the worth of even putting on makeup anyway?" Flar asks.

"To look cute." May puckers her lips and winks at him.

"I'm gonna miss them." I whisper to Jun as he stood behind me with his arms around my waist.

"You know they can visit any time."

"Yeah, I know. But it's gonna be hard not seeing them 24/7 because they are like family to me."

Jun and I continued to watch my friends argue for fun, until my hearing picked up something. Looking from the corner of my eye, a slightly silver glimmer appeared through the large windows and my eyes widen in realization in that split second.

"Jun! Get down!" I quickly pull Jun to the ground, and at that moment the large windows shattered and fell as a whistle was being heard above me.

Everyone held their hands above their heads to keep the glass from getting into their faces. Then we all heard screams come from the room next door. Flar and Ash ran out of the room to check it out but as I looked at Jun, his face winced with pain and I felt my hand begin to feel wet. Looking at it, blood was spread all over my palm and was dripping down my fingers and to my wrists. Checking out his shoulder, Jun had a through and through as his hand tried to hold the blood in the was coming from the front.

"Jun! Jun!" I kept calling out Jun's name but he could only reply with a grunt of pain. "Fitch, get a nurse right away!" Fitch nods and runs out of the room. May then comes up to me and help me pick up Jun so that he could sit on the hospital bed.

~~~~~The Fourth Prince~~~~~

Snip's POV

I looked through the scope after taking the shot. But to my amazement, she was able to hear my gun shot even with the silencer on. From the looks of how Prince Jun was holding his shoulder, I think I got the wrong target. And it is still true; Ree IS the best assassin there is.

Closing my eyes for a moment, I stood up and picked up my sniper rifle and threw it over my shoulder. Walking away from the edge of the building, I walked over the the roof elevator and entered it. Pushing the basement button, I stood against the wall with a blank expression and remembered how Ree was able to deflect my bullet. I am known for being the best sniper in the assassins league, that means it is very rare for someone to deflect my bullet.

Hearing a ding from the elevator door, I exit the elevator and walk towards my jet black Lamborghini. Opening the trunk, I place my OSV-96 in a built in case and secure it to the flooring. Walking to the drivers side, I sat on the low seat and shut the door. But I sat there for another minute before sighing and shaking my head. Driving out of the basement parking garage, I drove to a little market to grab some beer. Walking in, I go straight to where the beer was and grab me a cold six pack. But as I walked down an aisle, I passed some packages of chocolate chip cookies before stopping and reluctantly grabbing one.

"Hello. Did you find everything you need?" The cashier asked me as I drop the beer and cookies at on the counter.

"Yeah."

"You going to a little get together?"

"No. Just seeing a friend."

"Great. So that will be $11.89."

I silently pull out a one hundred dollar bill out of a pocket from inside my coat and pick up the two packages. The cashier called out to me but I just ignored her and left. Getting into the lambo, I set the two things onto the passenger's side and drive to the hospital. Taking my shoulderbag out of the trunk, I put in the cookies and walk into the hospital. Walking into the lobby, I walk up to the receptionist and ask where Ree's room was. Even though I already knew.

Walking into the elevator, I hit the third floor and waited before it stopped and I walked out into the hallway. The hallway was dead silent but even with my heavy boots no noise was made. I walked up to the first sliding glass door and leaned against the wall. Staring in the room, some of the other assassins were standing around the bed as Prince Jun and Ree sat on the bed. It seemed that he kept saying "I'm fine" as he shook his head to them. He was stripped to the waist and had a bandage on both sides of his right shoulder.

Fitch finally notices me first before his twin brother Flar also looks at me. Both had a frown on their faces as they continued to stare at me. Ree looks around before her eyes met mine. Everyone in the room stared at me with a frown besides the one and only person who has never frowned at me.

Ree gets off the bed and runs to the sliding door. Shutting it behind her, she stared at me with widened eyes. "Why did you do it?" I didn't answer her as I stared down at her. "Snip, you aren't like that. I know you. You came into the assassins to not kill the innocent. I know you can easily reject a job but why did you do this one?"

"It wasn't a job." I finally answer.

"Huh?"

"Scar is trying to kill you for your spot." She nodded like she knew that. "So he sent me."

"Let me guess; all he has to owe you is a beer?" Ree giggles a little making me smile slightly. I nodded to her and looked down at the ground. "Just tell him you killed me. He will believe you." She then places a hand on my shoulder making me look her in the eye.

"I knew he would try the poisoned cookies so I bought you these." I pull out the package of cookies and hand them to Ree. Then without saying another word, I turn around and walk away from her and down the hall to the elevator.

"Thank you!"

I heard her say before I turned the corner and got a good look at her one last time.
