23
I remembered falling asleep on Otto's shoulder, while Axel's head was on mine. But when I awoke, my head was on my pillow and a muscular arm was wrapped around my side, their hand curled into mine. I blinked the sleep away, feeling more and more light come into the room.
I slowly glanced over my side to see it was Axel that was holding me. He looked so calm while he slept. He didn't snore or make any noise. I looked down upon noticing weight on my lower half and noticed both Otto and Oscar were sleeping just below us arms draped over me atop of the blankets. I didn't think they'd all want to stay in here, but I didn't mind either. Combined their body heat and mine made this bed so comfortable. I yawned gently before realizing I was going to need to pee soon. I made a attempt to move, however this made Axel's arm react and he held me tighter against him. I figured this was just a unconscious response, but when I tried again, he only pulled me closer to his body. I grumbled gently smiling some as I tried once more and this time I felt his face move into the back of my head.
"Where you go?" he asks lazily, the sleep thick in his tone.
"I need to go to the bathroom." I replied softly. He finally unlocked his arm from me and I rolled over to face him and his right eye peaked open to stare at me before giving a small smile. I pecked his lips and it made him smile wider as I did my best to slide out from under the other two. Their heads fell onto the blankets and this made them snap up and look around. I moved to the bathroom to do my business, washed my hands and came back out to see all three of them slowly getting out of the bed, sleep all in their eyes. I had given the information I gathered on Garrett to Axel already so I was sure they had discussed a plan of action. I changed into blue jeans and a blue t-shirt while the brothers got dressed as well, fixing their hair and straightening themselves up. Otto wore a thick forest green shirt and brown pants attached with suspenders. I smirked and shook my head. He definitely had the foreigner look back.
Oscar wore a brown turtleneck under his faded brown jacket with black pants that had green patches over the knees. Axel wore his white buttoned up shirt under his usual black vest and then his blue jacket topped it off with faded black pants. He slid on his fingerless gloves to fit his outfit. Their black boots were dry from last night's rain. I got ready for the day and looked at the three of them.
"Breakfast?" I asked and Axel shook his head and moved to grab one of his hand guns and place it in the back of his pants. On to business I guess. Doesn't mean I couldn't eat. I was sure they were just going to find a ride to the target's house and kill her at home. But who knows what idea they had. I knew I'd have to stay here until they returned. As they all looked themselves over to make sure they were ready, the moved to the door. Then, to my surprise, Axel pecked my lips, then Otto, then Oscar. I had to look up at all three of them since they were all taller than me completely taken back by the action. They weren't ever really affectionate when on a mission.
They smirked at my dumbfounded face and left out the room. And now it was just me. Well I was hungry so it was time for breakfast.
Normal POV
The Swedes felt confident their Escort would be alright by themselves while they killed their target. Now they were in their zone. With the information given, Deshawna Garrett was supposed to be going to be at a nightclub called Aurelio's. It didn't open until ten. Axel looked at his watch. It was only a few minutes passed nine, meaning right now she'd be heading to her recording studio. An artist of some kind, they deduced. The brothers stepped outside and noticed people walking around and starting their day. They needed a ride to get around in. And good timing, a bread truck was just passing and moving behind a gas station. Axel tilted his head some and the three began to walk across the street. All of their weapons were hidden under their jackets. It was already warm, but living on a farm, the heat didn't faze them.
As they made it to the gas station, they moved behind it to see the driver just entered the bathroom in the back. Oscar moved over to the driver's side noticing the doors were locked. The brothers stood together beside the bathroom. The driver had the keys. The brothers looked at the door and then each other, having their usual conversation with their eyes. Otto frowned suddenly and raised his fist to them before putting the bottom of his palm to it. Axel sneered at him as if telling him to grow up. Otto shook his hands again before his brothers and Otto just sighed and rolled his eyes and raised his fist to his hand as well. Axel gave in and did the same and the three did rock paper scissor. Otto won his rock beating the scissors of his brothers. Just as they finished, the door opened hiding them from the driver.
The round man took two steps toward his truck before Otto approached almost casually, grabbed the front of his forehead, pulled it back and before the man could yelp, slid his knife across the driver's neck. Blood poured down his body and Otto just dropped him then leaned over and searched the man's coat pocket for the keys. Once he found it, he leaned up and handed it to Axel. The three got in the bread truck and took off, following the map's directions to Garrett's recording studio. It was an hour and a half drive to this place as it was outside of town.
This kill was fun. This target had many body guards who tried to take out the brothers, but with their weapons they didn't stand a chance.
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
Axel even got to use his brass knuckles to beat one body guard to death. He hadn't used them in a while. The studio was demolished from the bullets as they moved each floor shooting everyone they came across. Bodies fell quite easily. Oscar pulled out his hunting knives and began to slide wrists and ankles as he enjoyed disarming men. Sure, you could bring a gun to a knife fight, but knives were so much better. This was definitely fun. In a utility closet, Oscar found a broom and threw it to Otto who caught it, broke it over his knee and began to mercilessly stab anyone he saw in the chest. They threw people out the window and shot men in the face, blood spraying everywhere. Pictures were destroyed of different artists and records from the seventies and early eighties.
They now got in the elevator and stood side by side quietly, faces covered in blood as they just stared at the dial as it went up. They put away their knives and brass knuckles and pulled out their guns again and reloaded them. They were so used to this, they didn't even have to look at their weapons as they did this. Axel smirked a bit, his mind rolling back to Anja. Oh how he wanted to bend her over right now, his excitement was through the roof right now. When they got back to their time, he was going to drill her hard. The elevator doors opened and he raised his gun and led the charge firing immediately on all he saw. Sadly there were only three floors.
Once the Deshawna Garrett was dead, the brothers did a sweep of the building before they came back to the truck, faces and bodies drenched with blood and they all just sat there for a moment panting some trying to calm down from the rush they felt. Slowly they all smirked viciously. Axel started the truck and drove off. They weren't seen by many and if someone did see them, they didn't care. They made it back to the hotel and parked in the back. They broke into the back and took the elevator back to their room.
Anja's POV
As most of my job was basically done, I now had to keep myself entertained until my partners came back. I looked out the window noticing the beautiful scenery of this town, but I knew I couldn't go out and see it. I wanted to though. Maybe one day I could go back to one of these times and just explore. Lord knows I have the ability too. But I knew I couldn't, because I didn't want to mess up a timeline. The Commission definitely frowned on that. As I watched TV smiling at the older shows of the late 80's, the door suddenly opened and I saw Axel, Otto and Oscar come in soaked in blood. My eyes widened as I got off the bed and stood there in shock.
"What the hell!" I snapped looking at all of them. The boys just looked at me with happy gazes and smiles.
"Best. Mission. Ever." Otto replied. I was going to question how so, but the sound of numerous police sirens was coming from outside. I hurried to the window and saw row after row of police cars coming to surround the hotel. I groaned and looked at the boys.
"You were seen." I assumed. They looked at each other smirking almost wickedly as they nodded.
"Maybe." Axel replied. Okay they were all freaking me out so I just shook my head and moved over to grab my bag. They hurried and grabbed their bags and when we all took each other's hands, I closed my eyes and we vanished. I opened my eyes once more to see we were in my living room, but my eyes immediately widened as I looked around quickly.
My living room was completely destroyed, holes running all over the walls. I looked around to see my couch was completely destroyed and my kitchen was a mess too. Bullet holes everywhere! The boys immediately pulled out their guns and began to move about the house searching for any intruders. I looked at my front door to see it was gone, yellow tape was across it. Someone had shot up my home. I ran down the hall to Oscar's room first and noticed he was looking at his bed and I slowly walked behind him and gasped heavily as we saw Maddie's corpse on the bed, head missing as if someone had blown her head off. Oscar was just staring at her for a moment. No this wasn't happening not my home! I hurried and ran to my room and saw my bed was flipped and my drawers were pulled from my dresser. Whoever was here must have come while we were gone and the police had taped it off as a crime scene.
I slowly turned and walked back out to my living room.
"My home." I said voice breaking as tears fell down my cheeks as I started to cry. The Swedes came back into the living room seeing my face and looked at me with saddened eyes. Oscar's eyes were watering themselves as I knew he was mourning his cat. I just looked at them sobbing more as I realized that this was there doing. It had to be from the pool party yesterday. I frowned some but I couldn't hold it together as I cried some more. Otto approached raising his hands to try and console me, but I just held up my hand to stop him.
"Don't. Just don't." I replied, my voice broken. He looked at his brothers as if hoping to find the answer from them.
There was a swooping noise only coming from under the sink in my kitchen. Of course, my coat closet was completely demolished along with the rest of my house. I moved over to the sink and removed the tube. The boys followed behind me and I removed the message. I stiffened suddenly at whose face was on it. Shantay's. There were other pictures beneath them of men I had seen at the pool party but did not speak to, except one: Wayne. I looked at the paper behind the pictures to see addresses and message beneath that.
This woman and men are responsible for the assault on fellow agents: The Swedes and their Escort, a close family member of one of our Board of Directors. This attack cannot go unpunished. Annihilate swiftly. Thank you.
My hands began shaking as I read the information. Shantay was responsible? Did she tell Wayne where I lived so he and these others could take revenge? It would make sense honestly. She planned this party and we ruined it. It reflected badly on her. And Wayne? Well they weren't going to just let Axel and the others get away with shoving guns in their faces in front of everyone. I looked up angrily turning to the brothers who looked at me. I forced the paper into Axel's chest and he looked at paper, his face just as emotionless as ever.
"You started this… you will finish this!" I said angrily. He looked at me stiffly but nodded. He then looked at Oscar and Otto who looked just as angry, before moving toward the front door. They were covered in blood, but they didn't care. They were going to handle this.
