The good news and the bad news.

"Quick! get in your car and follow me," Suki said as she hopped back in her car, Bruce rushed into his as well and began following her.

Seeing that no one was following them, he sped up driving next to Suki, "It seems we are in the clear."

Suki looked back and nodded, as they kept driving towards a secure place.

"I guess, we got lucky that the cops didn't chase us," Suki said sitting on the hood of her car,

"Maybe we are not their target." Bruce said as Suki gestured for him to continue, "I clearly saw them chase that Brian guy, all of them."

"Brian?" Suki said out loud as she began thinking trying to connect all dots but things didn't quite add up, "Do you know what's going on?"

Bruce shrugged, "Do you want me to drop you home?"

"Where are you going?"

"I have a job to do." Bruce said as he walked closer towards her with a flirty smile, "Or do you want me to come with you?"

"How about I go with you instead?"

"Hmm... didn't expect that, but I guess it works for me."

"I am not talking about sex you perv," Suki said with an annoyed expression, "I mean, to your job."

"Not tonight,"

"You owe me a favor for the car." Suki insisted,

"When did that become a favor?" Bruce asked tilting his head, "And besides didn't you want me to answer your question or something?"

Suki stayed quiet for a while before speaking up again, "Would you be honest with me?"

"I don't have any intention to hide things," Bruce said shrugging his shoulders.

It was the truth, after all, he didn't care if people knew about his job or what he did, he wasn't ashamed of it. He did what he had to do, and besides, he was leaving that life anyway.

It was a simple life, he killed bad guys though it was done for the profit of some other gangs and mobs he still reduced the number of bad guys in the world. The context was all that was needed for this stuff, as long as he was slapped with the title of a cop he could get by completely fine with what he did.

Maybe they would even stick a medal on his face, but since he wasn't. He was just a murderer.

The only topic off boundary was about his system and his past life which he wouldn't reveal to anyone no matter what.

And he liked Suki, the first girl that made him feel a bit connected to this world. In fact, even though he would never admit it, he was kind of looking forward to seeing her the whole day.

"That's fine then." Suki stretched, "I've had quite a long day."

Suki walked up to him and kissed him on his cheek, "Good night, Bruce."

"You're not going to ask me anything?" Bruce said looking confused as he watched her get in her car,

"It would be pointless to get something out of you this way, so unless you tell me your story, I will not force you." Suki said, "I'll use that favor later on."

"Oh! And I am seriously going to use that guy's car for a while, he will likely leave it at Tej's garage if not, we might have to take it away from him." Suki continued, "Where are you staying at?"

"The Setai," Bruce answered,

"I have your number, so I'll come to pick you up tomorrow then, for our 3rd date."

"You're counting this as the 2nd date?" Bruce complained watching Suki drive away as he couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Hmm, I am finally acting my age."

Stretching he mumbled to himself, "Time to do my job, I guess."

Driving around the city, Bruce checked off several of Carter Verone's properties. He noted every exit route Carter could possibly use and after a long night of surveying, he returned back to the hotel and crashed onto his bed.

------------------------

Bruce didn't know what time it was but he was woken up due to a phone call.

To his dismay, it wasn't Suki but his contractor Cipher, "So how's Miami treating you?"

"I don't know about Miami, but you're treating me quite well." Bruce said, "Are you sure, you don't want me to just walk inside of his house, extract information and kill him? This job is the most boring thing I have done in a long time, and I had to endure torture training for weeks."

"Not all things are easy as working within the continental where you are protected most of the time," Cipher said, "So this test is more for your patience and your recon ability than your strength."

"I trust your strength and I believe for certain that you can do your job the usual way, but with the sensitivity of the job, I need you to stay low." Cipher continued, "I can't have the law enforcers finding of the hard drive nor I can risk it with your way of extracting information which might lead to nothing."

"I get it." Bruce said yawning, "I guess, I'll play around in Miami for a while then."

"Sure! I called you not to check on the progress of the mission but to give you some additional intel." Cipher said, "It seems the agent they planted, hooked another man on the inside as one of the drivers they were looking for. His name is Brian O'Conner, an ex-cop."

"But his history seems a bit shady, so since he will be one transporting money and the drive, you might be able to use him. But in the end, what you do with this information is up to you. I'll send you the intel on him."

'I guess my suspicions were correct, after all.'

Though Bruce was a bit out of touch with a lot of movies, he could still certainly recognize one of the protagonists, and since he was in town, why else would there be anyone to take the protagonist's glory.

"And they're moving the shipment within this week since there has been a little development."

"What development?" Bruce asked confused,

"It's good news and bad news-"

"Just tell me how it is," Bruce cut her off as she seemed to be having quite a bit of fun playing around with him.

"The good news is that you're officially a free man." Cipher said, "I didn't expect things to work out so well, but it did. As of now, you're no longer a part of the continental, and I have officially kept my promise as a sign of trust and goodwill."

"And the bad news?" Bruce was happy hearing about his freedom, but he couldn't rejoice before hearing the whole thing.

"It's related to your assignment, it seems Viggo also has some intel about the hard drive and he's trying to buy it." Cipher said still continuing with an amused tone, "And it seems, he has sent his son to officially meet with Carter to make the deal."

"So what do I do?" Bruce said as his mind began running wild,

"I can't have anyone linking you and me to the hard drive, so kill him." Cipher said clearly, "You should very well know what could happen if you leave anyone alive."

"That's not that difficult." Bruce said relaxing a little, "Why does it seem like there's a but coming."

"There is, little Viggo Jr. is surrounded by 40 assassins from the continental." Cipher chuckled, "Now it's time to really put your ability to the test."

'Fucking bitch!' Bruce couldn't help but complain at how Cipher was finding this all too funny. She seemed quite pleased with herself dropping bombs on him little by little, 'But wait!'

"Why is he under so much cover? I have never seen Viggo's son before but I know for a fact that regardless of what he's here to do, no one hires that many assassins to just play bodyguard." Bruce voiced his thoughts, "He's not a fucking prince."

"Oh, I wondered about that too." Cipher said for the first time in a serious note, "So I did some digging around but there wasn't that much information about it, the latest thing I could find out about him was that he killed someone's dog."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Bruce could hold back his laughter as he started clutching his stomach in pain from laughing too much.

"Am I not getting something?" Cipher asked,

"Yeah, you aren't." Bruce wiped tears from his face barely catching his breath from laughing too much, clearly not wanting to tell her to get back at her for annoying him, "Oh yeah, can I keep the car? You know, after the mission and all."

"…"

"Since you're more concerned about the car, I am guessing you've got this covered. Keep the car." Cipher said with an annoyance in her tone as she didn't seem to be in a position where she was the one who was lacking information, "If anything else comes up, I'll give you the information."

----------------------

A/N:- The timelines of the movies I use wouldn't exactly be the same as the original movies. To make sure I can fit all the movies I want without cramping up the fic, I have to sacrifice the timeline and create my own. But things will still go in order so you don't have to worry about that.

Also obviously there will be some changes to the original story.
