Job

When going down the stairs I was caught by complete pitch black, dirty and old walls around and a tunnel that I couldn't see where it would lead.

"The members are just ahead, the only one who knows who everyone is is me so don't worry about your identity"

he said as he gave me a mask

"Call me boss, or whatever you want but don't use my name, since this is your first job I'll explain it to you"

"No names, family, personal life or anything that can help discover you, inside you are a completely different person, understand?"

I put on the mask and started to see in tunnel vision, I shook my head, saying

"Tsk, let's get going, all the important people or groups have these passages that lead to different places, to make conflict more difficult"

he said as we walked through the tunnels

'Make it difficult... huh, so it's not impossible'

"As you may have already imagined, it is not impossible to find other groups, there are even people who specialize in this to eliminate "Competition", so never leave a trace"

When he opened a gate we went out into a dark alley and I followed him into the street light, I studied the stores, and the surroundings, absorbed in how much this looked like a normal city, and not something hidden.

several people were walking back and forth, all wearing masks, but some without, when they noticed a guy sitting in a nearby store drinking something yellow with foam,

our eyes met, and he smiled at me

I felt chills on my back and pretended I wasn't looking at him but straight ahead, as I was wearing a mask I couldn't see where I was looking.

I passed by the store on alert for being attacked but after a few steps I relaxed

"Relax, he can't fight in the street, in fact no one can, and stop staring at anyone without a mask, they are either someone with nothing to lose, or someone who is not afraid of death"

'With nothing to lose, it's...'

Memories of my home coming from my dreams assaulted my mind, making me remember everything I had

'By the way, it's been a while since I heard the voice... strange'

The stores sold practically everything, from food to apparently weapons, shields, knowledge, or assassination, each with its own symbol demonstrating the services they can provide.

the boss stopped to look at something in a weapons store and I decided to go in too

'Do they use swords or.. daggers?'

I was surprised to only see small daggers and some pipes?

I saw the boss take some with some familiarity and I was surprised

'How can this kill someone?'

"You know what I came for, right, Salesman?"

The salesman, looking displeased, pulled an envelope from under the table and handed it to him.

"Here it is, all the money agreed, counted by hand"

The boss spent a few seconds counting all the money before leaving

"Thank you for your hard work"

he said with a disdainful tone before leaving the store and we continued walking around, he seemed to walk aimlessly, he turned the same way several times before we entered the same store as before

'Huh? Did he get lost? Or are you just going to provoke the guy more?'

When we entered there was a saleswoman who, upon recognizing her boss, came out from behind the counter and lowered her head.

"Welcome boss"

"Hello white, I want a French potato"

she nodded before we entered a room, the floor seemed to shake and I almost lost my balance, I looked around and only saw the boss look at me, and tilt his head

'What the hell is that?'

When we opened the door again we were in a dark room with a square like old TVs and a round table, and 6 people around the room, some relaxed and others nervous, but all wearing masks.

no one came to welcome the boss, so we went in, I passed by a woman? who was sitting with her feet up on the chair, when I felt murderous intent from a man at the end of the corridor

He ran towards me, I put guard on him but I felt he wasn't the danger so I turned with a half moon kick and hit the woman who was going to try to stab me in the back,

The man didn't give me time to recover the base when I saw that he also had a knife, I jumped back, accidentally stepping on the arms of the woman I had just hit.

When I dodged two stabs and kept going backwards, he stabbed me with a vertical blow, I held his hands with all my strength but he was still coming down even though I was trying to stop him.

I turned on my pivot holding his arm and using his strength against himself, I took the knife and stuck it in his eye

When I felt a twinge in my neck I stopped my movement before hitting my enemy

"Sorry to overstay your welcome, but you can't do that,"

through peripheral vision I saw a foot hit the fallen guy, he got up in silence and walked back to the place he was,

I felt the pressure leave my neck and I decided to turn around to see who it was, it was the woman I knocked down

"Good choice."

she said as she walked over and sat at the meeting table.

"Well, I handpicked you all for a job that will change our lives."

"How much money are we talking about?"

said a guy dressed in white in the corner of the room, who seemed to be reading

"Very, very much so that we can live on the other side comfortably"

said the boss without turning around

"And obviously it's going to have to be meticulously executed for us to achieve it"

he clasped his hands together as he looked around at those who decided to sit at the table

"This is the plan of my life"

"Who's inside? I say if you want to get out the time is now"

'Is this one of the ways to get out of here?'

he waited for a few minutes before getting up

"Well then your fate is sealed"

Pressed on a square thing full of colors and the TV appeared, a giant place

"Let's rob the most important bank"

'Where is this, I've never seen this structure, aren't the houses all over the city like this? unless...'

"This bank holds all the city's money, everyone has a lot of money there so they will hunt us down if we take it all"

"it's all or nothing, I'm tired of my life and if I die I'll put my name in history so I'll take you little souls in need to save you"

he said eloquently as he opened his arms and looked at everyone

"Preparations begin after 3 nights of sleep, you can leave in order from last to first with a delay of 5 minutes so that you do not meet each other"

I nodded and left the room,

'But how do I get out of this place? I'm going to wait 30 minutes and come back to see if the boss takes me out, damn it'
