DISCLAIMER: I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COURT, IT'S ALL MADE UP. 

It was already 10.45 pm, and Ash went out for a walk. As he was walking further away from the gym, he got a call.

The number was an unknown number, but he picked it up anyway. 

A female voice answered the phone,”Seen the news yet?” 

“C’mon, Dalia. Cut the crap give me their info, i’ll kill them before sunrise.”

“Why?? You’re no fun cousin. Anyways, where are you these days? You’re not at your apartment and you’ve been really silent about it as well. Good thing, you still call the family or they would’ve reported it to the police that a family member was missing.” 

“Would you shut up about it, you’re only lucky that you’re not the one killing.” Ash was a bit pissed.

“Anyways, someone needs to die tonight. See ya!” 

The call ended, and Ash sighed. 

Name: Leona XX  (adopted daughter)

Age:     43

Hair colour: Blonde 

Height: 5'7

Crime: Kidnapping, human trafficking

Family: Josh XX (father)

              Leo XX  (mother) 

Both do not know that their daughter is doing crime, they thought she is doing really fine with her life.

Tracking location right now…

XXX club, at XX street. 

‘XX street is only on the other side, what a lucky day.’ Ash thought.

Ash texted Owen about where he was going and Ash took off. He gave his id card to the guard outside of the club. "Out of all places, they came here." Ash whispered to himself.

As soon as he entered the club, he already saw her. 

Drunk.

'This is gonna be easy.' Ash thought.

He approached her, "Hey cutie, want me to grab you a drink?"

The woman was flustered, "Thank you, baby."

Ash brought drinks for the two, Ash only drank 4 cups while the woman drank 7. She almost passed out, but she was more drunk than before. 

"Baby, should we go out and have some fresh air?" Ash asked.

"Y-yeah, sure." She mumbled.

Ash brought her out, he walked wherever the woman wanted to go until she was sleeping. Ash brought the woman to an alley far from the club. 

He held her up and stabbed her, first into the stomach, second into the heart. Her screams were loud but no one noticed much. 

Ash was a killer, but he wasn't a killer for no reason. 

"Ash!" A shout came from far away. 

'Shit, Owen’s finding me. What time is it even?' He checked his phone, [12.10 pm]

"Fuck" Ash whispered as he ran further into the alley. 

He ran further and further, wanting to make a turn and be on the opposite side of the woman's dead body.

"ASH!" A familiar voice came from behind. He slowly turned to Owen. Owen's face was hurt and shocked at the same time.

"You saw me didn't you?" Ash asked.

"This isn't your first time, is it?" Owen asked.

"No.." 

Owen slowly walked up to Ash, he wanted to hug Ash but he couldn't.

"I'm sorry, but in the name of law. You are under arrest for first degree murder." 

Ash held his hands up knowing this day would come, but why on the day that Owen said he loved him.

'Loved' Ash thought, 'It's not love anymore, it's now Loved, cause he could never love a person like me ever again.'

A police car came to pick up Ash. He looked out the window, Owen was looking at him with eyes full of tears but he didn't allow them to flow down. He felt so betrayed, Ash's heart was broken too. Only if Owen knew what would be the reason.

The police drove off with an ambulance carrying the dead body, trying to save it.

They got to the police station, Ash was sat in a room for questioning. He didn't want it to be long, so he answered all of the questions.

He was going to court first before ending up in jail, but he didn't care, all he wanted now is to apologise to Owen. His heart is horribly shattered, he could just think of the last reaction Owen had given him. They have lost their trust. 

The court is starting in 4 days, and he has an unknown lawyer, because he couldn't afford anyone. But luckily, he was able to meet them today. 

Ash made it first, not long later the lawyer arrived. Her face was familiar?

Ash looked at the woman properly, and saw…Yu Chen? 

"What are you doing here?" Ash asked.

"Owen wanted to know what was the reason you killed a person.." Yu Chen said, "so, he wanted to help you a bit."

"How is he doing?" Ash asked. 

Yu Chen sat down, "He is hurt, but still thriving." 

Ash looked worried, but he didn't ask more questions because he didn't want to interfere.

"Let's get started, how about why did you kill that woman?" 

"I'm a certified hitman, but I don't just take out normal humans. You can know just by all the victims I had." 

Yu Chen looked at the file of the victims Ash had killed.

Total of murders: 74

Victims: James XXX 

               Age: 37

               Crime: Murder on young children 

               Roselle XX

               Age: 21

               Danish XX 

               Age: 52

               Crime: Abuser, Rapist

               Jasmine XXX 

               Age: 17

               Crime: school shooting 

and the list goes on…

"These people are all… You have been killing perpetrators." Yu Chen said.

"Yes." Ash replied.

"But why?"

"I'll tell you" Ash stretched, "When I was younger, my cousin got kidnapped, that night she was almost ra*ed. But thanks to the police, they got the person just in time."

"Oh my g-"

"But, it caused her to have trauma for life. She used to go to her therapist every week for it. But now she's stable, and I wanted redemption. So I found some people who could help me and I became a certified hitman for taking out those people. It feels like I'm a story right now…"

"... what method do you use to take out those people?"

"Knife, I usually wear gloves because the blood of people would get stuck on my skin and I would vomit."

Yu Chen moved her chair further away from Ash a bit.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked.

"I'm just a bit scared." Yu Chen replied.

"Yea, I should back up too."

The 2 talked for a while more before time was up, Yu Chen wrote the points down. 

"Don't worry too much, I'll help you through it." Yu Chen before Ash was taken away by the police.
