he nodded, thinking for a moment. when he did speak up, he seemed less distressed. "need any help?"

"I would appreciate the company." She didn't mind him leaning on her, so she said nothing about it.

"nice. where to?"

She pulled out her phone to check the text message Rawling had sent her. "*Niiiiice. One is quite a bit that-a-ways," she pointed to the left. "And the other is the same quite a bit that-a-ways," she pointed to the right. "Both penthouses with rooftop pools."

"fun. let's ride."

when they arrived at the place, nik looked at tessa for guidance. "so, what's your plan?"

She placed her hands on her hips, staring up at the building–more specifically, the roof with the pool, even if she couldn't really see it. "Well… the pool's convenient and quieter than outright slaughtering him." You could tell she had such a great plan already laid out.

"fun. how are we to get him in there?" he raised an eyebrow at her, amused at her lack of planning.

"With this kind of weather? Who wouldn't be in their pool?" She at least hoped that he would be in it. It'd be difficult to do so otherwise.

"fair. here, i have a lockpick." he pulled it out of his back pocket and began to work on the lock.

She stood over him, making sure no one saw him breaking in. The place seemed quite empty–thankfully.
Her phone buzzed with a text from Rawling. 'Heard about your epic failure. Is the great Golden Huntress finally bested by some guard dogs?' She could hear the amusement in the text, and she scowled at her phone and put it away.

"what's got your face in a twist, hun?" he looked around, searching for small valuables to swipe.

"Rawling's making fun of me," she pouted, then grew serious as she searched the place. It was dark, but his car was outside. So luck was on her side for this one–he was likely in the pool.

"aww. poor tess." he chuckled, inspecting a watch left on a counter.

"Yes, poor me. Feel free to take what you like. It's not like he's going to need it anytime soon." She glanced up at the ceiling as if she could see the pool up above.

he pocketed the watch. "i'm not aiming to steal too much, but that watch will sell for a lot."
nik listened for a moment, trying to see if he could hear the man up above.

Tessa bit her lip and shifted on her feet, flicking her gaze over to Nik. "I'd… rather you stay down here."

he studied her for a moment.
"you don't want me to see you kill." it was a statement, not a question, but his face was easy. "that's respectable. i'll keep watch."

She nodded and headed upstairs. The man was indeed lounging in his pool–with no bathing suit–with some sort of mask over his eyes. She crept up behind him, grabbing his belt from the pile of clothes next to the pool.
As silent as a cat, she came up behind him. He had yet to realize his end was near.

nik sat cross-legged on the man's kitchen counter, keeping an eye on the door and a butterfly knife tight in hand.

Tessa quickly looped the belt around the man's neck, twisting and pulling it so it was tight. The man thrashed in the water and clawed at the belt crushing his windpipe, but Tessa heaved him up and wrapped her legs around his neck.
She counted down the seconds, blank-faced and emotionless as she slowly brought his life to an end. Pretty soon, he slumped down and stilled. She tossed him in the pool face down so that he'd drown–just in case he wasn't dead.

he watched her come back down. he had heard the struggle, and he assumed he was dead.
"lead the way to the next place."

"It's a woman this time," Tessa informed him, slightly more detached than she had been before. "One of the mayor's old secretaries."

"fun. what'd she do?" he followed her out of the building.

She shrugged, squinting up at the sun. "I dunno. I'm just the sword the Mafia wields. Don't ask too many questions if it doesn't help the job."

"fair, but my job is to ask questions." he teased. "professional nosy sewer rat."

She offered a small smile, emotions still somewhat turned off. "True."

"same game plan with her?" he inquired, walking quietly next to her. he enjoyed spending time with tess, even if it was on,,, murder missions,,,

"I'll have to see what's available to me, but essentially." She sighed, rubbing at her temples. "This was easier when I didn't have anything left…"

he was tempted to ask what she meant, but he had a feeling he knew. "you can use my knife if worst comes to worst." he suggested, trying his damn best to be helpful.

"I'll consider it." She might have to stop at one of the abandoned labs to remind herself of what she fought for. To remind her heart why she killed and tortured.
