"Can we go on with it and leave right after? I can't stand this any longer, Leon." If Leon wanted him to stop commenting about their situation, they should finish their job right away. "Tell me what's the plan, Leon." He asked.
Leon sighed, then he explained the details of the plan. The face Zen makes says that he does not like the plan at all, but if that is what Leon decided on doing, he will do it. After all, Zen acknowledges that Leon is the leader of this mission.
"Got it? Then let's get to it, and remember, Zen, this room is far from where the party is at, but we need to keep this as quiet as it can be." Leon said in a serious tone. He may like to goof off, but his seriousness will come to light when the action has started.
Zen nodded, took the tranquilizer gun from Leon, and shot the woman, putting her to sleep. The man was shocked at what just happened. He and his partner were about to start their business, but then his partner suddenly collapsed with a dart on its shoulder.
He took the dart and have a closer look. "This looks like it came from a tranquilizer gun, but where did it come from?" Panic is starting to engulf him. Someone did manage to get inside his room.
'But how? I looked around, but I didn't see anyone!'
He looked around again, and his eyes spotted a young lady before him. Although scared, he still manages to stare at that young lady's face. "I recognize you! Your that young lady from before! Wha- how did you get here? What do you want?!"
Usually, he would think that this young lady would want to sleep with him, but for some reason, he believes that this young lady is here for him for a whole another reason.
"Do you need money? I c-can give you that! I have lots and lots of money!"
Zen tsked when he heard that, then he opens his mouth. "First of all, even though I look like one, I am not a young lady. I am a young man! And second of all, I don't care about your money. I have lots of that."
Zen felt irritated. He forgot that he is still wearing such disguised. He came out of the shadows looking so cold, but it was all ruined when that man called him a 'young lady.'
It upsets him to the point he wants to kill that man right away.
"Now, now, Zen. Don't get too short-tempered. You can't really blame him for mistaking you for a young lady, you know?" Leon appeared behind the man. His prey's eyes widened when he saw him.
"Y-you! What is the meaning of this?!" He angrily asked.
Instead of answering his question, Zen and Leon ignored him.
"How can I not be upset by this, Leon?! I'm trying to be quiet as I can be, but it's tough!" Zen shouted. He knows that they are in the middle of something, but his mind can't erase the fact that the man called him that. His pride as a man is slowly shattering the longer he is wearing a female outfit.
"For Pete's sake, Zen. Can we just, for a moment, forget what you are wearing? I mean, it's not like this guy will live any longer to tell other people that you are wearing that." Once they get what they want, they will immediately eliminate their prey anyway. Leon sees no point for Zen to get worked-up by something like that.
"I want answers!" The man shouted. For a moment, he forgot that he is somehow in a dire situation. Zen and Leon glanced at him, coldly, and that is when he is back to reality.
"You want answers? You answer us first, then we answer yours." Leon said as he ties his prey's partner arms and feet and covers its mouth. "If you answer us honestly, we might let you live longer than we originally plan."
The man doesn't like it at all. Whether he tells them whatever they want to know or not, he will still die. 'What the point of living longer if you two are just going to kill me in the end?'
"No. I don't like that." He said. "I will be honest, you two, but I don't want to be killed today, tomorrow, or in the future at all!" He used his last bargaining chip. Everything that he knows, he will tell them, as long as they won't kill him.
There is a high chance that he will get killed for this attitude, but he does not care. All he cares about is taking a high risk just to live.
Leon nonchalantly stared at the man, then he laughed. "You really think that you are the only one we can get information from? If you can't tell us anything, then we might as well torture you now and kill you later. After that, we will find another person who is willing to tell us information right away."
"You know, we are making a deal with you. We will kill you after we get what we want, but there will be no torture for you. It will be like, you will feel nothing from it. Or would rather suffer before you die? Wouldn't that be too much for you?" Zen said with a smirk plastered on his face.
People like their prey have been way too sheltered to the point that they can't even stand the slightest pain. But then again, this prey of theirs likes to be tortured.
"Wait," Zen said. "If he doesn't give us what we want, wouldn't torture be a bad choice for him? Since, you know, he takes pleasure from pain?"
Hearing that, Leon froze and is in deep of his thoughts. Now that Zen mentions it, there is no point in torturing someone if that someone is taking pleasure from it. "You are definitely right, Zen. Then what should we do if he doesn't give us what we want?"
Leon and Zen can hardly believe that they are having such problems right now. This is the first time they have to encounter something like this, and they don't know how to deal with it.
Leon took out his phone and contacted a particular person. After a few rings, the person he called answered. "Boss! I have quite a dilemma here..." Leon explained everything, and the person on the other end of the line is in silence.
Arion is speechless. He can't believe that Leon called him for something like this. 'Does this even count as a problem?' He inwardly asked.
"Leon, you are being ridiculous right now. I'm hanging up. This is not the type of problem that I should concern myself with." Not even waiting for Leon to reply, Arion dropped the call.
Leon stared at his phone and said, "That was so rude of him! How can he just drop the call without even telling me what we should do!"
"What do you expect? Even I think this is ridiculous." Wondering about what they should do right now is the most ridiculous thing Zen ever thinks about. There are many things they have to think about, what is happening right now is not even considered the hardest part that they should think of.
Hearing the conversation between Zen and Leon, the man is not feeling relax at all. Even if they can't torture him, they will still kill! 'What the point?! I see no way out of this!'
To think that the man who approached him not too long ago and call that man a friend, is going to kill him now. Leon was way too good with his words that he immediately took a liking to Leon. He did not even suspect a thing.
"Let's just kill him, he won't tell us anything anyway. We're only wasting our time here." Zen is not the type to finish his mission without getting his mission's true goal, but today is an exception. They are not getting anywhere if their prey is not even willing to say anything despite giving such a good deal.
"Wa-wait! I'll tell you guys what you want, just let me live a little bit longer." There is no point in saving his ass anymore. Everything has been decided anyway.
Leon and Zen inwardly smirked. It wasn't exactly as what they had planned, but everything else worked like how they wanted it.

"Stop laughing, Mary. It's not even that funny." Arion angrily said. His phone was on speaker when he was talking to Leon earlier, and his wife heard everything.
He was annoyed by Leon's call, but now his wife's laughter annoys him the most. 'What's so funny about it? I find it not funny at all! Why is she even laughing?'
"Come on! How can you not laugh at that?"
