Knight.

"Knight?"

Bruce wanted to ask more, but suddenly both of their eyes twitched a bit as they looked at the side of the road that was covered with some trees. Both of them brought out their pistols and shot through the trees.

Walking over to look at what it was, Bruce couldn't help but sigh as it seemed someone was spying on them.

"Drone." John said with a bit of frown, "It's military-grade, and it's not something they would use."

Knowing who 'they' he was referring to Bruce nodded, "So likely some federal agents? But I haven't done anything that would catch their attention and yet here they are, spying on us."

"Let's move," John said as Bruce couldn't help but agree more.

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

"Knight?" Bruce repeated the words he heard a thousand times as they walked inside Tej's empty garage they had been using as a planning room. "They decide to give me a name after I leave, and that being Knight of all things. I am an assassin not someone on a white horse with armors."

"It's a good title, it suits you," Suki said looking at Bruce who seemed devastated that he didn't get a scary-sounding name, as she looked over at John with an awkward look, "He isn't like this most of the time."

John just nodded as he looked over at Bruce, "I heard some rumors in the continental about a boy trying to escape from them, and the deeds you did came out too."

"One of those missions where you let go of those human trafficking victims stood out like a sore thumb considering your otherwise perfect record. And hence the name Knight."

"I knew they were trying to make fun of me." Bruce snorted, "It doesn't matter anyway since I am no longer part of any of it."

'I wonder what name they would've given me if they knew what I had done to those traffickers.'

"Winston wasn't pleased about you leaving this way."

"Well it's not like he could help me in any way," Bruce said, "But I am a bit thankful, considering he handed me out missions that I wanted. So let's talk about our job shall we?"

John nodded, as Bruce laid out the entire plan for John explaining everything in detail. With their targets being assassins, weapons such as rocket launchers were out of the question. Even though he had one on his arsenal.

And with having to get the hard drive too, their method would be simple invasion and quick kills without alerting them as much as possible.

It wasn't easy doing so with their target being highly trained killers but eliminating as much as possible would be helpful.

After just fifteen minutes of sharing their intel, they were completely ready. As for the drone, they could do nothing about it. John was going to kill regardless and Bruce was willing to do anything to gain his freedom. Worst case scenario he would just leave the country if someone came after him.

Running away from cops was much easier than assassins, as he could just move to a place with no extradition law and he will be just okay. In fact, if he played his cards right, he might not even have to leave the country. The underground was a big enough world, and his skill was enough to gain a position in that part of the world.

Quick and precise planning was just the way John liked it, he was more of a do-er than a planner, to begin with.

Suki who had left them a bit earlier due to a call hadn't returned yet as the both of them were left there in the garage together.

"I heard you're from Ruska Roma too." Bruce said as he lifted his sleeve up revealing the tattoo of a cross on his arm, "So technically we are like brothers, huh."

"You and I both know that it doesn't matter," John said,

"I know, just trying to make conversation." Bruce said rolling his eyes, "I've been hearing about you my whole life, so it's a bit unbelievable to see you."

"And yet you aren't afraid." John said, "So you told your girlfriend about yourself?"

"I did." Bruce nodded, "She's technically my first friend ever... and for the first time a killer like me has someone that I want to protect, so I don't want to lie to her."

Bruce didn't know why they were suddenly talking about his love life all of a sudden, as it was a weird talk to have between assassins.

"And you're involving her in this?"

"Protecting someone and caging them seems to have a very thin line," Bruce chuckled, "With me being on this whole path to freedom, I can't make decisions for her. But she's good enough to make an escape even if things didn't work out. And besides, I won't put her in danger."

"It seems that to be the case." John nodded as he stood up, "Tomorrow at 10."

Bruce nodded seeing John off.

John wasn't a hero, for him to say something like, I'll go in alone. He was rational and calm, and he knew how to take the benefit in a situation when he sees one. With him knowing, Bruce's track record, John knew he could be of help and not be a bother.

And with the assurance that he wasn't going to stop him, he had no problem working with him. With the drone they found, things could get troublesome if federal agents were getting involved, so he couldn't spare to be heroic at this time.

"Well, that wasn't awkward at all," Bruce said to himself shaking his head, as Suki drove in with his car that he had given up for modification.

The car looked to be the same, and except for the tinted windows you wouldn't really notice anything different as it looked no different from what it looked like before.

"Consider your car to be fully upgraded." Suki said getting out of the car, "You've finally got what you want."

"That was quick." Bruce nodded checking out the car.

"With the money you gave and him having reliable contacts it wasn't hard enough." Suki said, "Besides Tej wouldn't let a customer like you go, so he likely worked hard to impress you."

"Well, that's nice of him." Bruce nodded as Tej could clearly meet his expectations.

"You've got to let me drive it around, I need to see how it goes well with the mods," Suki said with twinkles in her eyes as Bruce couldn't understand her obsession with cars.

But he didn't mind letting her do so, in fact, he was planning on having her drive the car. With the car now being bulletproof, he was more assured of her safety. Even if the assassins chase after her, he was certain she could get away safely.
