PROLOGUE

You’re doing a good job Ivan, Felix informed his agent, Keep it up.

Ivan smiled, he enjoyed obeying his boss. This hit would be his second hit; the first was to eliminate a drug dealer. He knew he was a loyal agent; trustworthy.

He watched his target from a scope in the distance. The targets name was James Killer; he knew that and he knew that he had to kill him. They were outside of their safe house; there were five of them, including the target.

The rest of them were unfamiliar to him, they stood and sat around by the stairs out front of their safe house.

You see your target? Felix asked him.

Yes, He informed, When do I kill?

Patience; wait until the right moment, then shoot him. Felix ordered.

Ivan gripped the sniper rifle and focused on his target as has James swayed back and forth. His lips moved but Ivan couldn’t hear what was said.

Ivan reduced his heart rate, focused on his target, and fired.

CHAPTER 1

DEREK

After I joined the Triton Agency, Felix gave me a whole new life. A new amazing safe house, a team, and all the weapons I could want.

I did miss the Crew; after all I’ve been with them for as long as I could remember. But this was a new beginning for me, I got what I wanted.

Ever since I took that deal, I haven’t talked to or seen my friends. I guess I couldn’t blame them; I wouldn’t want to see me after what I had done to them.

It was kind of like what Ken did to us, the bastard. But I feel for him, it was a good deal, this was a good deal.

Are you listening to me? Felix asked.

I came back to the real world, Yeah, you were talking about something to do with a hit job.

No, I was talking about a hit job that I am assigning you and your crew.

I smiled, Oh, well in that case.

He laughed, Yeah, I want you guys to eliminate your old crew.

My eyes got wide, Are you kidding?

He shook his head, No, it’s about time, and you’re the perfect guy to do it.

I shook my head, No, I won’t do it, they’re my friends.

They were your friends, in case you haven’t noticed, you’re their enemy.

I rolled my eyes.

Derek, it has to be done. You know that.

I sighed, If it has to be done, how would you like it to go?

He smiled, That’s for you to decide.

I nodded, Okay then, I’ll do it. But only if you pay me double.

He held out his hand, Deal.

We shook and I smiled, When would you like it done?

By the end of the week; this Friday,

I nodded, Sure thing, boss.

COLE

We were at the hospital all night. After getting the news that Derek had quit to join the new uprising Triton Agency, we had called James up to help with settling things.

I couldn’t believe it, Derek, the one who ties us all together, quit.

But when we called James we talked outside, then the unexpected happened. The bullet penetrated his shoulder, didn’t kill him—scared us half to death.

The doctor told us he was going to be alright. We needed him to help us decided on what to do with Derek, he was the enemy now.

You alright boss? Joey came up to me.

I looked up at him and smiled, Yeah man, it’s all good.

You seemed a little bummed. He said sitting down next to me.

I sighed, A little.

I know it’s tough, I mean we did lose a dear friend.

I smiled and looked down.

But, we’ll get through this. We always do Cole. He finished.

I know, it’s just Derek was the last person I’d expect to betray the team.

Same here, I don’t know what changed him.

Ken came up to us, I know who it was; it was fucking that asshole Felix.

You really think he has something to do with this? I asked.

Or Kyle, Joey guessed, He could have something to do with it.

They both probably do, I informed, That’s why we need to take them out.

What about Derek? Sean asked coming up to us, We can’t kill him.

I don’t know man, he is the enemy now. Ken crossed his arms.

Don’t say that! Sean yelled.

You were the one who said it! Ken argued.

Lower your voices. I ordered.

He started it. Sean rolled his eyes.

You’re like a child. I sighed.

At least… I’m not a fish! He huffed.

I rolled my eyes.

We can’t stay here. Joey sighed, Let’s go to the safe house and I’ll call Vern and Dane.

I got up and nodded, Okay, good idea.

JOEY

I felt bad for Cole. Derek was the second person to betray the Crew. I don’t know what he was thinking; we needed him to complete the Crew.

We left the hospital and headed back to the safe house. We were all unhappy that Derek left, I mean who wouldn’t be?

But I guess we had to make the best of it, the Crew must move on, we have a job to do.

We haven’t talked to or went back to the P.O.O.P Agency since Derek left. I mean, how can we confront them about him leaving? Boss can’t do it, and sure of hell Kenneth can’t do it either.

That leaves me and the idiot, and hell; Sean can’t even tie his shoe. So I would be the one to confront the agency.

Hello? Yeah, Vern listen, we kind of need your help. I said in the phone.

What’s up? Vern asked.

We’re in a tight spot, James is in the hospital and Derek is now the enemy, life’s tough. I informed.

Wait, why is James in the hospital?

He got shot.

Damn, okay want me to call Dane?

I sighed, Yeah, please.

Okay, we’ll be over in a couple.

Thanks man.

Hey, what’re friends for?

I laughed and hung up.

When they coming? Ken asked.

I put my phone away, Soon.

He nodded.

We were all in the safe house slouching around, depressed. The television was on but no one was watching it. Ace sat next to me on the floor. I put my hand down and pat him on his head.

He was a loyal dog, trustworthy like most dogs. Man’s best friend.

I wonder if Derek was the one who shot James. Ken said.

Why would he shoot him? I asked, No motive.

He nodded, Then Felix did because he always hated him.

I’m pretty sure that Felix would kill me before he tried to kill James. Cole informed.

Because we know how much Felix hates your ass. Ken smirked.

I laughed, Like the time he came to me and asked if you had a boyfriend because you were so gay.

He said that? They asked at the same time.

I made a straight face, Yeah, why?

Sounds like something Sean would say. Ken laughed.

Sean laughed, Yeah, we are related.

No you’re not. I spit, But you two are so idiotic, you might just be related.

S’not fair. Sean crossed his arms, Why so mean?

I rolled my eyes, And you’re not?

He shook his head, No, I am the nicest person alive.

That would be Obama. Ken informed.

What? I asked confused, Who is that?

What! Cole yelled, You don’t know who Obama is?

I shook my head.

Yet you watch TV. Ken rolled his eyes.

Still… I laughed, Who is it?

The President of the United States, Cole informed.

Really? I thought that was Abraham Lincoln. I knit my eyes.

What year are you in? Cole asked.

1910. Sean laughed.

We looked at him. The doorbell rung and we jumped up.

It’s only Vern and Dane. I informed going to the front door.

Ace barked and I shushed him. I opened the front door and was surprised at what I saw. A man had a pistol pointed at my head. He was in a spy outfit and had a sniper rifle around his back.

Well it ain’t Vern. I informed.

You okay? Cole asked.

I held up my hands as the man motioned me to hold them up.

Joey? Cole asked again.

I backed up as he came forward.

Who are you? Ken asked as the man smiled.

The name is Ivan. He said.

And why do you have my bud at gun range? Ken asked.

Aw. I smiled.

Shut up. Ken fumed.

I’m here on behalf of the Triton Agency. Ivan said.

What do they want? Cole asked.

You guys dead, but I can’t do that because I need your help. He informed.

For what? Ken asked.

Felix Morris, you know him?

They nodded.

He tried to kill me after I shot your friend. Ivan said.

You shot James? I asked.

He looked at me, I was ordered to take him out.

I charged but he cocked the gun and stopped me in my tracks.

Why do you need our help? Cole asked him.

He looked at him, Your team is the enemy of the Triton Agency, and you used to work for them before you destroyed them. Correct?

Cole studied him, Yeah.

What’s your point? Ken urged.

We can work together to bring them down. Ivan offered.

We don’t work with murderers. I spit.

He looked at me and sighed then moved the gun over and fired.

SEAN

When the gun went off we jumped, Joey dropped to the ground obviously in pain.

He was getting annoying. Ivan lowered his weapon.

"So you
