Wolfgang and Taylor approached a white metal door across the hallway. Wolfgang opened the door for Taylor, and immediately a bullet went flying right by Taylor and crashed through the wall across from the entrance resulting in a hole forming. Taylor had a starstruck expression all over his face; he was in awe of what he had just witnessed. There was an inkling with dark blue tentacles in a bun with descending flames on the front one. She was holding a sniper rifle of some sort and wearing and dark blue and orange tracksuit of sorts with a cigarette in her mouth. She was menacing, and Taylor froze up while standing. Wolfgang grabbed hold of Taylor and pulled him out of the room to address the situation. Taylor fell to the ground before struggling to pick himself up. Taylor was trembling as his life was nearly taken from him.

"What the fuck was that?" Taylor asked.

"That's Boss's number one hitmen," Wolfgang replied before cautiously checking if the coast was clear before pulling himself back to the wall beside the door, "She goes by Hot Shot; she's been in the Octo Mafia for nearly ten years." Wolfgang reached to the side of his right thigh to put a hand on the holster of his pistol before grasping onto the gun and pulling it out.

"That long..." Taylor added while getting behind Wolfgang, "Why did she try and shoot at me?" Wolfgang checked to see if the coast was clear, noticing that Hot Shot had since changed her location due to her not being where she was before. Wolfgang finally had a chance to respond to the question that Taylor had asked, "She doesn't know who you are and thus assumes that you are an intruder who needs to be exterminated."

"Why does she assume this?" Taylor asked.

"It's a long story, but it's due to some trauma that most of us don't know the full extent of. If you want to ask someone, ask the Boss." Wolf gang pushed himself off the wall and into the doorway of the room they had just been to. He had lost her trace, but Wolfgang knew that she was not in that room. Wolfgang used his right hand to signal Taylor to follow. Taylor got the message and followed Wolfgang into the room. "Her trace is gone; however, I can still show you the place if you want."

"That is your first thought when there is someone who just tried to kill me running around this place," Taylor Exclaimed while putting his hands to the side of his forehead to gesture visible confusion.

"Well...yeah," Wolfgang replied with a slight smirk as he put his Glock back in its holster, "She only shot at you because she didn't realize you were a recruit, mainly because I wasn't there to introduce you to her. Oh, can you shut the door since you are over there?" Taylor walked over to the door a gently closed it without muttering anything under his breath; however, he still was not pleased with what Wolfgang said. Yet, Taylor did have a few things that he wanted to ask Wolfgang himself. Wolfgang walked over to a counter and grabbed a gun, and started to tinker with it.

"So, who exactly is Hot Shot?" Taylor asked in chalant tone while walking over to Wolfgang.

"Well, what is there to say," Wolfgang replied while fiddling with the gun he had picked up, "From what I heard, she was a felon at seventeen, A resident of a maximum-security prison at nineteen, and had escaped at twenty-one, now she works here, as one of the mafioso's and as the weapons expert. She's perfected the assassin craft."

"So to summarize, she was a convict at seventeen, sent to a maximum-security prison at nineteen, broke out of said prison at twenty-one, and now she's a part of the Octo Mafia?" Taylor asked while looking over Wolfgang's shoulder.

"Well, none of us don't know if she was initially a part of the Octo Mafia before she was sent to prison or became a felon, but everything else seems right. I don't know much about the time before I started to work under the Boss," Wolfgang replied with an informative tone before putting the gun down on the counter, "I just know the basics; I'm not some Encyclopedia." A gunshot went flying right past Taylor's head again, resulting in him jumping over the counter and sliding under it. Wolfgang had just been alerted that Taylor and himself weren't the only ones in the room. Wolfgang wanted to pull out his pistol and shoot at the shooter, but he knew that wasn't the right thing to do.

"Yo, Hot Shot, He's with me!" Wolfgang shouted up to the sky with an informative voice. Suddenly Hot Shot jumped down from what seemed to be the ceiling; she fell confidently and did a roll when she landed. She pulled out a knife immediately after landing. Hot Shot then put down her sniper rifle before pulling out a knife from her side and putting it near Wolfgang's face.

"So you're bringing in traitors now?" She asked aggressively as she got close up in Wolfgang's face.

"No, this is one of the men that Boss requested; he's new, and I'm showing him the ropes. Now would you please get that knife out of my face?" Hotshot did as he requested and removed the knife from his face area. Then, she picked up her sniper rifle and began to walk away towards the door to leave presumably. She yelled something before she did go, though, "If you ever do choose to backstab anyone here..." She then gestured a slitting of the throat with her finger before slowly closing the door behind herself. Wolfgang sighed. "Alright, you can come out from under there now," He said in a relieved tone.

Taylor popped his head out from under the desk to check if the coast was really clear; he then put his hands on the desk and flung himself over to the other side.

"We're going to go see what the engineers and craftsmen are doing.

The two approached an area that was near the staircase where they had first emerged from. It looked to be some car body shop. The two walked over because the engineers looked to be just finishing up for the night. There were three of them, one green spiked Inkling, a blue spiked Octoling, and a female Octoling with pink tentacles braided. The three all had dirt on their face, and their clothes were dirt brown. It had been a hard day of work for the trio, yet they looked accomplished with their postures, The green one was washing his hands, the blue Octoling was sweeping some dirt and the Pink one was just sliding out from under a car. Wolfgang and Taylor walked over to their work area, and that is, Wolfgang specifically approached the Green tentacled Inkling and had a smile on his face. Wolfgang threw out his right arm.

"Working hard or hardly working?" Wolfgang asked, waiting for a specific response.

"It's pretty obvious, ain't it, " The green Inkling replied but threw out his left arm and grabbed hold of Wolfgang's hand. The two then did a shoulder bump, the two then separated, and that's when the Inkling focused his attention on Taylor, "And who's the new guy?" Wolfgang looked over at Taylor for a second, "This is Taylor; Meringue found him past out in the gutter, and the Boss wanted to employ him, so I'm just showing him around. Taylor, this is Rubio, one of three engineers here."

"Sup, Bro," Rubio said with a macho tone. Taylor didn't know if Rubio was testing him or just being a nice guy, but he assumed the latter.

"Nothin' much, just hanging with the Wolf at the moment, making sure that I understand all of this crime schtick and whatnot," Taylor replied with a similar macho tone.

"Ayo, Amanda, Jamie, We got a new kid on the block! He goes by Taylor for the record!" Rubio cried out as he looked back at his companions, Jamie dropped his broom on the ground and Amanda got of the car dolly and they walked over, wiping off their hands-on towels they had laying around, "They'll be over in just a sec, what do y'all have planned after this?"

"Well, I gotta get Taylor a key for his apart..." Wolfgang was interrupted by his phone, He looked at it and sighed, "Sorry gotta take it, I'll be right back." He walked away, to another room that was out of sight. Then Jamie and Amanda both approached Rubio and Taylor. Jamie was the first to get there.

"Oy, what's popping my guy?, I'm Jamie," Jamie asked as he pulled out his phone from his left pocket and wrapped his arm around Taylor for a selfie with Jamie making a winky face and Taylor giving a slight smile, "Nice to see some new faces round." Jamie then walked away as he was likely posting the new selfie on social media. Amanda then approached Taylor next.

"It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, I go by Amanda," Amanda formally stated, "As Jamie previously stated; it is nice to see some fresh faces around here," The four continued talking about several topics, until they all watched Wolfgang walk back from making a phonecall.

"I'm sorry Taylor, I'm gonna have to cut the rest of the tour short, I gotta get home," Wolfgang solemnly stated.

"What seems to be the Issue, Wolfgang?" Taylor asked with a concerned but curious tone.

"My neighbour thinks they left their stove on and isn't home, so I have to go and check it," Wolfgang said in a convincing resonance, "Either way you're going tot need to find a place to stay tonight as it's already getting pretty late." It was already pretty late as it was nearing 11:00 pm, and Taylor didn't have a place to stay, what would he do? Rubio spoke up quickly "We have an extra bedroom at our place, you can stay with the three of us tonight if you wanted."

"I second that," Amanda piped up with an excited tone.

"I'd be down to chill with the New guy," Jamie added on with an eager edge to his voice.

"Well I can't really refuse my only offer," Taylor replied. He was grateful that there were some sane people in this area of wackos and nut jobs.

"Well it seems like that issue resolved itself," Wolfgang stated as he slowly walked away while raising his left hand as a gesture to confirm his leaving. "I'll talk to you tomorrow Taylor."

"Sounds good!" Taylor shouted in order to make sure that Wolfgang could in fact hear him.
