Sorry for the long wait for those that were waiting.

Now I've watched John Wick Chapter 4 less than a month ago and it. Was. AMAZING!

John Wick vs Ip Man!

Neo vs Cirrut!

And Scott Adkins as a Kingpin!

The best action movie I've seen in theaters my whole life next to the Godzilla movies. What did you guys think of it? Also RIP Lance Reddick. I've only known him from the John Wick franchise and his short role in Godzilla vs Kong but I knew he was a great actor.

SolSparda369: It's going to be a John Wick storyline. There must be a dog.

Essiter1987: Thanks. And glad I'm not the only one who thinks Qrow is a perfect John Wick stand in. Mini Jaune? I haven't really thought of him appearing other than when he does in Volume 1. But if you have ideas, I'm all ears.

Well, with that said, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 3-Everything has a price Part 1

"WAKE UP, UNCLE QROW!" Ruby squealed as she jumped onto the man's chest and Luna began licking Qrow's face. "I'm up, I'm up," Qrow groaned in annoyance yet smiled fondly as Ruby pulled on his hair. It then turned to pain as Ruby began jumping on his chest. "Wake up! Wake up!"

Then his alarm begins to ring next to him. Qrow let out a suffering sigh as Ruby and Luna race out of the room and Yang calls from the kitchen, "Breakfast!" Qrow grimaces as he turns off his alarm. Yang was not an apt cook. Like father like daughter.

After cleaning Yang's mess, Qrow simply made bowls of cereal for the three of them and another for Luna. "We'll buy you kibble later," he muttered to the puppy. Ruby and Yang snickered as the Beagle eagerly ate the bowl. Five minutes later, Qrow opened the front door to grab the newspaper and Luna ran out the door.

"Hey!" Qrow called and prepared to call Ruby only to pause as he saw Luna go to the bathroom in the yard. "Oh, right." he murmured. Smart dog, he thought impressed as Luna walked back into the house.

Near seven o'clock, Qrow and his nieces walk to the garage with Luna scampering behind them. Qrow was given a week off so he wasn't going to be taking any missions and the girls needed to go to school.

Yang and Ruby get in the back of Qrow's mustang and Luna climbs in the front through the door Qrow opened. He drives the girls to the small town Patch in the Island of Patch and dropped them off at their school.

"Bye Uncle Qrow!" they said as they got out of the car. "Bye Luna! See you after school! Love you!" Qrow bid them farewell and Luna barked at their retreating forms.

Before Qrow drove out of town, he saw that the car was running low on fuel. He drove to the Dust station and began to refuel his car. Luna sat in the front seat, sticking her head out the window and bark at the passing cars or birds in the air.

Another car drove up to the station. Its radio blaring rap music loudly before it came to a stop. Three young men got out of the car. One of them went into the station to pay while two of them began speaking in Animan, telling jokes and making one another laugh. One of them turned to Qrow's direction as he smoked a cigarette. He looked vaguely familiar to Qrow.

"Nice ride," he complimented. "Mustang. Boss 429. She a 70?"

Qrow shook his head. "69," he said a little sheepish as he finished refueling, getting an amused snort from the blonde man. He drums his hands on the hood and leans forward. "How much?" he asked.

Qrow narrowed his eyes in confusion. "Excuse me?" he asked. "How much for the car?"

Qrow shook his head in mild amusement. "She's not for sale," he said as he got into the driver seat. The man leaned into his window and saw Luna. "Oh, I love dogs," he says fondly as he pets the puppy on the head before glancing up at Qrow. "Everything has a price, bitch." he said in Animan with a smirk.

Qrow narrowed his eyes and spoke in perfect Animan. "Not this bitch." The blonde man's smirk disappears. "What the fu-" he begins before one of his friends pulls him back. "Who the fuck does this guy think he is?" he asked angrily. His friend leans into Qrow's view. "You have good day, sir." he said with an accent and patted on Qrow's car. The veteran Huntsman rolled his eyes as he began to drive away.

Iosef Tarasov glared angrily at the car driving away. He glances to his friend Victor and nods his head. Victor rolled his eyes with a sigh. It was pointless to argue. When Iosef wants something that isn't given to him when he tries buy it, he will take it by force.

That old man was in for a rough night.

Later that day, Qrow picked up Ruby and Yang after school. He drove to an airport where the security guard let them pass. He begins drifting back and forth across the runway and came close to hitting the parked trucks at one end. "WHOOO-HOOO!" Yang and Ruby cheered from the backseat. Qrow couldn't help but smile to himself. This was usually a way for him to make his adrenaline rise when he wasn't on a mission.

He let out a fake scream of terror as he slammed on the breaks. Ruby and her sister follow his lead as the car skids to a halt. Qrow looked back at the sisters who laugh in glee. He then glances at Luna who's wagging her tail happily. "You liked that, huh?" The puppy let out a cute bark.

"One bark means yes!" Ruby said from the backseat. Qrow chuckled in amusement.

"Uncle Qrow, stop!" Ruby squealed in laughter as her uncle tickled her that night in her bed. "I'm not doing anything, Pipesqueak." Qrow said, grinning as he continued to tickle the silver eyed girl. "You're laughing all on your own."

"No, I'm not! Hahahaha!" Ruby said between laughs. "Don't worry, Rubes! I'll save you!" Yang said as she ran into the room and jumped on the back of her uncle. Only to end up on top of Ruby and Qrow began tickling her as well. "Help! I need saving!" Yang cried out laughing.

Luna barked as she ran up to Qrow and pulled on his pants leg with her teeth. Qrow snickered before he stopped tickling his nieces. "Okay, good night you brats." he said good naturedly. He kisses them both on the forehead and ruffled their hair. It was some personal pride to know that he was one of the few people that Yang let touch her hair. A habit she unknowingly inherited from her birth mother Raven.

"Good night, Uncle Qrow," the girls chorused as he walked to the door and turned off the light. Luna walked after Qrow down the hall and to his room.

Qrow took off his pants and got into bed. He reached for the lamp before pausing and looking down at Luna who stared up at him, blinking her eyes. After a long staring contest, Qrow sighed and said in defeat. "Get up here," he pats his hand on his bed.

Luna wagged her tail as she jumped on the edge of the bed, only to slide back down. Qrow stared at the spot he saw Luna fall and mutter, "That was. . . unfortunate." Luna jumped back up and pulled herself up. She crawled up his torso and licked his face as he closed his eyes.

Qrow couldn't tell when he woke up, but it was clearly not enough sleep. He heard Luna bark and felt her jump off the bed. He lifted his head with a groan and saw her run out the door. "Do you need to go?" he asked groggily before getting out of bed.

He could hear Luna barking in the living room as he walked down the stairs. "Will you be quiet? Ruby and Yang are still sleeping," Qrow stated before he saw two figures standing in his living room. Before he could react, he felt something hit him on the head.

WHACK!

Qrow let out a sound of pain as he fell to the floor. Qrow quickly got to his feet and entered a battle stance. He felt another hit to his leg, bringing him down to one knee. He raised his right arm and blocked another swing of the bat. He threw a punch to where he could sense someone's Aura. His fist connected to someone's stomach. Then he heard a click before-

BANG!

His Aura cracked at the bullet as he was once again knocked off his feet. By then, the lights came on and the thug with a bat swung down and hit him in the arm. Qrow let out a sound of pain before he was kicked in the face and his Aura had shattered when the bat swung down on his stomach and then slammed into his face.

"Where are the fucking keys?" He heard one of the thugs speak in Animan before he heard glass shattering throughout the living room. Luna let out a loud whine.

"Uncle Qrow?"

Qrow's eyes widened as he tried to get up. "Ruby, Yang! Get back to your room!" he shouted before he was kicked in the back of the head.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" In Qrow's blurry vision he could see one of the thugs walking towards where Ruby and Yang stood. Yang tried kicking the thug in the shin but the thug's Aura didn't even flicker. Both girls were picked up off the floor.

"So cute," the thug said in a sinister tone as the girls squirmed and kicked in his grip. "Let's keep them."

"Iosef, no." said one of the other thugs. "They are young."

"And that's what is cute about them," Iosef said. "We're keeping them." Apparently now his tone told the other thug not to argue.

Luna continued to whine and bark from wherever she was. Qrow didn't know who to focus on. The girls or Luna. "Uncle Qrow! Help!" Qrow tried to rise again but one of the thugs stomped on his back.

"Someone shut up that fucking mutt!" Qrow looked up and could see Luna running from one of the thugs. She continued to whine and bark as she was grabbed. A blow was landed and Luna let out a yelp of pain and she laid limp on the floor.

"Luna!" Yang shouted in anguish, Ruby echoed her shouted. "NOO! Luna!"

"Where are the keys?!" One of the thugs shouted in a tone that sounded bored or he wanted to leave before someone shows up.

"Aha! Found them!" Iosef exclaimed proudly. Qrow felt someone grab him by the hair. The thug pulled down his mask and Qrow recognized him. The blonde man that tried to buy his car at the Dust fuel station.

"Sleep tight, bitch." Iosef said before punching Qrow in the face and his world went black.

In the back of Qrow's mind, a part of him sighed. Just his fucking luck.

"Let us go!" Yang shouted as she tried kicking at the thug that held her. She could hear the thugs laughing at her attempts as Ruby squirmed in another thug's grip. Then another thug spoke to the one that held her. Yang couldn't understand what they were saying but she had a feeling the thug holding was disagreeing with the other. She sees them getting into Uncle Qrow's car before she was tossed into the backseat with Ruby.

"Tonight is going to be fun," the leader said with a laugh before they drove off. Yang tried to punch or kick any of the thugs but her arms and legs were held down. She felt a chill go up her spine at the man's words.

One of the first things Qrow saw when he opened his eyes was Luna, her nose touching his cheek. The first thing he felt was the concussion followed by Luna's tongue against his cheek. Then he saw the trail of blood on the floor. At first, he was confused as to why before it clicked. Luna had dragged herself over to him. The puppy let out a whine as Qrow picked her up and cradled her in his arm. Blood stained her fur as blood ran down his chin from his nose.

"Hey, it's okay," he whispered as Luna licked his hand. Then he remembered what else had happened the night before. He rose to his feet, channeling his Aura to parts of his body that were still in pain and ran up the stairs.

Please, let them up there, he thought desperately. They slept through what happened, yeah. That's it. They're still asleep.

He saw the door was open partially. Slowly, he pushed the door open. The bed was empty.

Qrow let out a shuddering breath as he stepped back. He glanced at Luna whose breathing began to slow. "Hey, hey." he said softly. Luna's lips seemed to curl in a sad smile as she licked his thumb before sighing and going limp. Qrow fell to his knees as he held Luna with a numb expression.

As the Sun rose in the morning, Qrow had placed Luna in a box with a stuffed chew toy that he had gotten for yesterday. Carefully, he took off her collar and buried the box outside of his house. After ten minutes of staring at the grave, Qrow went back inside and began to clean the blood stain on the floor.

Memories began to replay. Lydia dying of her illness, the thugs breaking the glass decorations of his house. Luna's whimpers echoed in his head along with Ruby and Yang's shouts. Then he remembered the man who punched him in the face. Iosef. . .

Qrow looked up slightly. His crimson eyes once dull now burning bright like red flames.

Everything has a price indeed.
