A light flashes. With only Enzo sitting in a room, he looks to the side, seeing Valentino from the window beside him. Both men glaring at each other. The room was dim. With only one light.
“So, Enzo” An interrogator spoke, holding a short file and a clipboard. Enzo stood silent.
“Why do you two kill people?”
Enzo scoffed,
“We’re just doing God's work. Asshole.” Looking down as he smiled, part of his face being covered by his hair,
“Hm.”
The interrogator looked down at the very small pile of files,
“It seems you leave unneeded bodies with erased evidence of prints, why is that Mr. Enzo? Are they targeted?” The interrogator said as he slid the picture evidence to Enzo. He observed, seeing the black and white figures,
“Seems like these people deserved it, some were in the way. Some were chosen to be taken” He groaned. The interrogator scuffed and he leaned down grabbing a few more photos from a case. Enzo turned around to look at Valentino whom was cuffed down to the table, his head leaning down, slightly turning to Enzo’s direction, whispering,
“This was your fault for not being careful again…we had that clean kill..”
Enzo growled,
“You were the one who tripped.”
A door closed from behind Valentino.
A women sits down on the chair, holding a clipboard and a small file as well, beginning the interrogation,
“Mr.Valentino, correct?”
Valentino nods,
“Well, we have highly suspected killings around the city. You have only been caught due to the sightings of your headband, in plain sight around an alleyway, though, for once, you slipped and boom, you got caught. Could there be a reason why that is? Was it on purpose? You two have been the most vicious and hidden serial killers of all time. I’m sure one slip up wouldn’t just allow you two to get caught like that.” She said while adjusting her glasses, glaring. Valentino chuckled, slowly standing up, his wrists chained onto the table in which only made a tug as he stood up leaning against it,
“Quite the amount of questions don't you think? Relaxxx~ Why? Tryina get with me?~” he stared into the interrogators eyes, it felt hypnotizing to her even,
“N-no…I’m asking to collect information for record purposes…” She felt nervous, intimidated even, however her sight never left Valentino’s playful red eyes.
Enzo chuckles.
"Yknow, I could kill you if I wanted." He said In a deep yet playful voice.
"How? You're cuffed to the table. Either way, this place is highly protected, outside and inside. However, I couldn’t be so sure as to judge on what capability you have." The interrogator says confidently in a cocky voice.
"Oh? I'm cuffed to the table?" He stood up.
The interrogator stared down at his shackled wrists,
“WH-WHAT?!” He shouts in absolute shock. Enzo knocked the interrogator out cold to the ground, along with Valentino also wiping out the interrogator's consciousness to the floor.
Both men turned to the cameras watching them, easily destroying them with a punch. Valentino left the room, trying to open the door of the room that contained Enzo, unlocking it,
“Alright Enzy let’s go!” Both partners walk out of the room slyly. However, Enzo stood by the door, looking back at the file left onto the desk where the interrogator lied on the floor,
“Hold on…these prints…”
He stared closer into the pages,
“These aren’t ours. They don’t look…human.” He caressed the photos as he looked further into the few pages that were there. Seeing the prints near the dead bodies that weren't the cops prints.
An alarm sounded off red, howling across the facility. Valentino came back peeking through the door,
“Enzo come on! I sounded off the alarms by causing a bit of smoke to distract them! It should keep them busy in that area, idiots think it’s fire.”
Enzo looks back,
“O-Oh right!” He quickly swiped the file into the back and between his pants, quickly running into Valentino’s room and took the files from there as well. They quietly ran out and into a hallway where they carefully tried to escape. Valentino kneels down as he looks from left to right making sure there aren't any cops swarming the halls.
“All clear.” He whispered. Enzo nods his head and shuffles around the corner silently running across as Valentino follows from behind. Enzo then looks down from below the stairs seeing mobs of people and some cops near the smoked area.
“Hm.” Enzo lifts an eyebrow deciding if they should go down, though instead points at a window from beside them,
“We’ll just have to jump, hold on Val!” Valentino rolls his eyes with a smile,
“Goofball just likes jumping out of windows just like in the books he’s written pfff.”
As he sprints and holds onto Enzo’s hand watching him aim his jump on top of a balcony-way from the building in which was quite a distance. As he jumped down and rolled, Valentino scoffed and jumped as well from behind and landed.
“Heh, not bad Enzo~”
Valentino said as he nudged his shoulder, but pulled his ear,
“Ow!-“
“Next time make sure not to out us like this again. I’m not mad, it’s fun being caught, but this time they got a little bit of info out of us than the usual-“
He let go running off. Enzo then looked up at the building as they noticed the cops yelling out,
“THERE THEY ARE!” Enzo and Valentino grab each other’s hands and jump down smaller parts of the building and onto the ground and start to run into the city where the crowds of people swarmed as a group of security and cops ran out chasing after them. Both men finally reached the crowds as they snatched a dress that was on display in front of a store and a coat as well. Wiping it clean away from the stand of the store upfront.
“HEY-!” Some of the people yelled from being pushed by them.
“Shit-“ the cop shouted as they arrived into the city full of people roaming, the busiest part of the city. They looked around, seeking for the criminals,
“They can’t be that far..” one of the cops said,
“Fuck..spread out and find them, we can’t lose them again. The boss would end us…” Spreading out, one cop stayed behind looking closer and closer as he recognized a certain hairstyle,
“HEY!” He ran after Valentino. Valentino saw an alleyway and ran around the corner. A few minutes the cop catches up running around the corner and grabs onto their hand,
“FINALLY! GOTCHA!” The cop exclaims as they grin gasping for air….though, they turn around and appear to actually be a woman! Holding a mini fan near their chest, a flower clip on their hair and shaking their hand away from the cops grip annoyingly responding,
“Hmph!” As the cop gasps in shock apologizing purposely,
“O-oh my I’m very very sorry ma'am. I was just looking for someone…I have made a mistake…have you seen anyone running by here?”
“Not from what I know. I was just passing by until you rudely came across!” Gently yelling out in disgust.
“Right. I apologize once more ma’am. Have a nice night.” As they tip their hat as an extra apology and exits the corner looking around more into the crowd.
Valentino scoffs with a grin in his face as he walks across the other end of the alleyway as Enzo was behind the wall from beside, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed,
“Not badddd~” Enzo says in an impressed tone. Valentino then spoke in a feminine voice,
“Excuse me but who do you think you’re talking to, young man?!” As he ruffled his dress. Enzo flinches a bit confused,
“Oh uH…uhm…” Valentino then giggles,
“Bah I’m just playing with you Enzyyy~”
Enzo exhaled in relief, “Val dont do thAt!“
Valentino smiles then turns his head to look back from the crowd in the short distance, quickly ripping off the dress that covered his main clothing and wore his headband,
“Let’s go, the cops won’t stop looking for us until mor-“ Valentino turns at his Enzo who’s silently growling, staring between the crowds,
“Hey hey it’s okay hun he didn’t hurt me it’s okay.” he tried to calm down his growling husband, Enzo turns to Valentino
“That figure…”
He squinted
“It sorta looks like the one in the fil-“
Valentino sighs, he then nuzzles onto his chest, purring
“I’m okay Enzy. We can put him away once we have the chance again alright? Now come on!” Valentino grips onto Enzo’s hand and pulls him gently. Enzo kept his eyes on the cops who interacted with a very tall figure, still slightly growling before he turned around to focus where to run.
Arriving back home.
They both groaned out of exhaustion as they collapsed on the couch. Valentino gets up and sits in a little studio area where he wrote, books stacked on the sides of the desk and a few pages put up on a bulletin board pinned on the wall. Valentino loved writing to this day, making his own books. Enzo walks up and comes up from behind, watching him write,
“Val? What are you doing?” Enzo giggles.
“I’m writing..why?” Valentino blushed embarrassingly as he covered up the pages hiding.
“Two witches who look to claim to be us in this universe?” Enzo teases.
“SHH YOU’RE RUINING THE MAGIC” He wails his arms at Enzo for him to go away.
Into the bushes. Yellow eyes, staring into the window where the hitmen played. “Mhh…be careful you two..” it whispered, shuffling back into the bush where the leaves left rustling.
Enzo sat back up, checking where he hid the files underneath his clothing. Valentino interrupted,
“Hah..remember when we only dreamed of being able to do this kind of stuff? We were only kids when we wrote these fantasies eventually coming to life.” He smiled, Enzo then pulled out the file,
“Heh yeah…uhm Val, I think I found something when we ran off.”
“Oh? You took the files?”
Valentino questioned as he sat next to Enzo who was spreading out the few pages,
“These prints, they seem..familiar.”
He pointed,
“Familiar?”
Valenrino stared at the blurred black and white images,
“How so? Even if someone did frame us I don’t think it’s much of an issue?”
Enzo observed the pages closer,
“Yeah but…I feel like I’ve seen this, “person” before…but besides that, if someone did try to frame us, why would they do so? It’s not like we really care much considering they don’t know where we even live or who we really are, from what we know of- But I do wonder. What if the cops are corrupt? I mean like, obviously cops are corrupt but specifically those cops, they’re a little odd. As if they follow orders from someone outside the company.”
Valentino heard Enzo’s concern,
“At the bar, that lady cop seemed to have known who we were but didn't take any action, as if she was told to only observe…instead, we got taken in by a different set of cops, from a different facility. However…those certain cops who have followed us were the ones who usually chase us? How can they be at two facilities at once? If this “person” was near the usual cops we have come at us, how come a different department of cops and interrogators reviewed us instead of the others who targeted us the most?”
Valentino stared at Enzo, in a bit of frustration,
“Hrrr..I’m not sure, but we’ll find out soon. I’m sure of it, I feel like for now we can hatch up a plan for this another day. Let’s try and get some sleep for now okay?”
Valentino smiled warmly, nodding in agreement.
“Yeah, we always do…just like we did as kids.” He leaned against Enzo, closing his eyes gently in comfort.
Staring out into the window, the moonlight shining through, pondering, picking out the ointment from the cabinet close by trying not to disturb his beloved who was lying on his shoulder,
“*sigh* At least I know it’s not my parents. It wouldn’t be possible. They’re dead.” He mumbled, slowly placing the medicine onto his wounded arms. Closing up the bottle and stared out to the window once more, watching the clouds pass the moon, gently sliding his arm on Val.
“Boss!” A women came running,
“What is it Chess?”
“T-The culprits. They escaped from the other facility we snuck into. ”
It stood up,
“Escaped huh? Seems that even they couldn’t do it. But that’s because they’re aggressive. Unfriendly. I’ve been capturing their tracks by each life they take.”
“W-What do you mean by that sir?” She shook,
“It means. *pushes her* That you’ll be the next bait~”
“W-Wait…I’ve been nothing but loyal to you sir…p-please give me another chance!”
The figure let out a signal with his hands which made the other workers who surrounded Chess, leading her outside the door, her shrieks echoed across the hallway, the doors slamming shut.
“At least you could be of some use grabbing a little info in the building before they creep up and kill you. *scoff* Maybe then I won’t have to keep getting rid of you all one by one out of uselessness. Understood?”
He glared at the scientists, giving them a shiver down their spine. However, one kept their head down, nodding, and the other handed them a chip, hiding it in their coat.
Morning comes by.
Valentino opens his eyes, squinting half asleep,
“MHmH good morning Enz- Enzo?” Looks around without an Enzo in sight,
Valentino sits up then lifts his tired body off the bed and walks into the living room, seeing Enzo laying down on his phone.
“Oh, good morning Val! Just got a big client for tonight. The target they want us to get to is gonna be a fun one hehe. Been wanting to get these hands dirty again already."
Valentino raises an eyebrow,
“Oh really? Where at?”
“From a building across from this weird corporation near a factory?”
“Mm alrighty! First let’s fill our stomachs up alright? That big stomach of yours has been growling all the way from the bedroom hehe-“
Enzo looks down at his tummy embarrassingly,
“Oh hehe- what’s for breakfast?”
“Cmon n help! You'll see.”
After breakfast, Enzo fell asleep on the couch after his belly was full of food.
“Heh, classic Enzo~”
Valentino warmly smiles and leaves his sleeping husband to rest.
“Mrowwrrr”
Valentino looks down, seeing a black cat on top of the counter, rubbing her body against his hand,
“Hey Vorona~ Something wrong girl?”
“Mrrrrr” she began to purr gently, laying down as she felt the soft touch of being pet,
“Aw you clingy baby. Remember how Enzo got you? You’ve never been this clingy since I got you.” He gently spoke, feeling the purring vibration of her body.
“Cmon Enzo! They're here! This place is gonna blow come on!” Valentino yelled, Enzo following from behind,
“Alright I got the bodies!-“ Enzo yelled, Valentino then ran off, expecting him to follow from behind. Enzo froze, staring down into the fires across the alleyway near the building on fire, flames cackling, but beneath, he heard distant yowls. He walks closer, covering his nose from the smoke, he saw a black fluffy ball, a kitten, stuck under the dumpster,
“Hey little guy”
He kneeled down as the sound of sirens were heard in the distance,
“Cmon, let’s get you out of here. Val would love to have you..” he smiled, comforting the kitten, picking them up gently, then running off.
“y'know, Vorona. I’m sure the others would have thought the same for me before we left that hell. I know most are…..gone, by now. But, you’re a good reminder of them."
Vorona gently purred in her sleep. He looked up and sighed,
“I wish I could’ve at least said goodbye to them. All of them.
