"Speech"

..................................

In a dark hallway a young man with black hair stands alone, leaning against a wall, slowly stumbling through the hallway as blood drips down his face. "Heh..*cough*he." He chuckles as more blood spews out his mouth. A smile adorns his face for a second, before he collapses to the ground with a thud. "Hah *cough* fuck me." was all he could say before he closed his eyes and saw no more.

................2 hours earlier.................

"Oi Fox, get your ass over here." In a room with little decoration, housing only a small table and a chair, a figure stood next to the door. The figure, though shadowed by the small light coming from a bulb in the ceiling, could be seen wearing a mask shaped in the form of a dog, a tactical vest, and black pants.

Another figure could be seen in the room as well, kneeling down and looking at something on the floor. The other figure, wearing an outfit similar to the dog masked figure, stood up and turned to look at the dog masked figure.

"Ok Dog." The figure donning a fox mask walked towards the door and exited behind Dog. As they exited the room, the light bulb attached to the ceiling sparked illuminating the room and for a second, a body could be seen unmoving on the floor, covered in blood next to the place Fox was formerly kneeling.

............................scene . change........................

Cold was all Fox felt as he raced across rooftops in the night, next to his partner, Dog.

'Soon, I'll be done with this business and I'll finally be free. I have wanted to be out of the business for a long time, but I have never found an opportunity to escape. But just recently, I came in contact with an underworld boogeyman who calls himself 'Rose'. 'Rose' decided to help me get out of this wretched life, but it came with a cost. 'Rose' had told me to lure my partner Dog to a fake pickup point to capture him. After that, I didn't care what would happen as I will be free.'

As Fox and Dog neared the fake pickup point, something bizarre happened. Fox glanced over to check on his partner, but he saw nothing. He looked around frantically before feeling something sharp impale him from behind.

"GAh!" Fox grunted out in pain before spinning around and aiming a kick towards his attacker's face. His attacker, dressed in black and unable to be seen completely in the night, leaned backwards and countered with a well placed gut punch. The punch connected and made Fox fall to his knees. Fox looked up, and the last thing he saw was the barrel of a pistol aimed at his face.

.....................................Mc pov.............................

*Bang* the barrel of my gun went off as I ended the fox's life. The blood splattered at my feet and I looked up at the moon. "5 down, 4 more to go. I turned away from the fox's corpse and jumped into the alley way below, landing in a dumpster. I stood up from the dumpster and brushed the trash off me. Today was turning out to be another shit day.

*BANG* I heard the sound of a gun firing and spun around, just in time to dodge a bullet aimed at my heart. Unfortunately, I didn't dodge it completely, as it decided to make sweet love to the inside of my lung. "Fuck!" I spat out a curse before pulling out my pistol and opening fire.

Now getting a good look at my attacker, I saw the bastard was wearing a cat mask. Another one of them eh? It was my lucky day. I quickly hid behind a dumpster and unhooked one of the grenades hooked to my belt and threw it behind me. It went off with a bang. I stood up and looked at the damage. The cat was dead, that was for sure. I stumbled into the building next to me and limped across the empty hallway.

Seems the bitch did more damage than I originally thought. I ripped my mask off my face and continued limping through the hallway. IS this really how I die? Dammit, I couldn't even finish my revenge. "Heh *cough*..he" A chuckle escaped me as everything felt funny. I was so damn close! I had everything ready! But no, I fell short of achieving my goal. I fell to the floor. It was time I accepted my fate. Nothing I do in this world really matters anyway. "hAh*cough* fuck me." The light faded, my eyes closed and 'Rose' had finally wilted.
