Both me and Five walked through the halls while everyone stared at us. I could tell everyone was scared of Five (not me). He was, after all, the best assassin in all of space and time.
"Where are we going?" I whispered to Five from the edge of my mouth. "Somewhere. Just come with me" He responded making me sigh frustratingly.
After walking for a while, we both got to this room where there were a bunch of tubes. And as Five is, decided to not explain anything and do all the things by himself.
I stood behind and watched as he was about to put the message in the tube, I saw a hand on Five's shoulder.
I turned around and saw the one and only Handler standing there like a huge spider. "I'm afraid that's not procedure." She said, snapping Five too. He turned around and looked at her tall self.
"Five, meet Gloria." She said while pointing behind us. Both me and Five turned around to see a middle aged woman who seemed to look nice. "Gloria is perhaps the single most vital cog in our machine." She said, mentioning the comment she made back in 2019.
"Oh!" Gloria squealed while clapping her hand together. She must have been excited to see Five. He was a legend around here. "Gloria, this is Number Five." The Handler introduced, thinking that she didn't know Five.
"Look at you. Deadly little thing." Gloria said, making Five purse his lips into a line. "And who are you?" Gloria asked me, seeing how I looked way less deadly than Five. "I'm his sister" I said shyly.
"Oh don't be fooled by her cuteness! She's a devil herself too!" The Handler said, making me also purse my lips into a straight line.
"So happy we decided to close the contract on your life." Gloria chuckled to Five.
"I'm afraid your reputation precedes you." The Handler told Five. "And it looks like you're building on it here." She said while putting her hand yet again on Five's shoulder.
The Handler opened the paper both me and Five wrote on. It said "TERMINATE KARL WEBER"
"Oh. Karl Weber." The Handler said fake sympathetically.
"Now tell me, why unfortunate Karl?" She asked both me and Five, making us smile widely, ready to blow her mind. "Karl Weber is the butcher at the shop where Captain Ernst A. Lehmann acquires his weekly roast." Five started, and I continued, "So, if Karl dies, his butcher shop is passed on to his son Otto, who... never washes his hands, which is disgusting. "I said, making Gloria's face scrunch up.
"So he's the one who gives the captain his roast. And that gives him food poisoning. Which makes him late for work." Five said. "Which delays the takeoff. And to make up for lost time, the Hindenburg flies through a weather front of high electrical charge and humidity." I continued for him. "And the static electricity inside the aircraft makes it a virtual tinderbox. Tiny engine sparks- And just like that, we have-" Five said, using his hands to show that the air ballon popped.
"Oh!" Gloria said, also mimicking the explosion sound, making The Handler laugh.
