" Excuse me sir" spoke the small framed boy stood at the entrance, the man slowly lifted his head as the the blonde hair slowly moved away from his face. " Lee know" spoke the man. A silence fell over the room for what felt like a milinium, " Chan?" Spoke lee as a shocked expression fell over his face turning him pale white. " surprise" Chan said as he chuckled, he leaned back in his chair "sit." Lee sat down immediately like a dog following direct orders, " i thought-" he shook his head still trying to wrap his head around it. " Lee why are you here" he said assertively leaning forward clasping his hands together as he said it. Lee slowly raised his head, " right uhm i wanted to join ". Chan looked a little puzzled at his words, " join what exactly" he said as he stared Lee directly in his eyes. The air was stiff and uncomfortable, led slowly leaned forward and spoke " i want to be apart of 01". Chan laughed, " you want to be apart of 01? Right. " an assertive look spread across lees face, " i mean it chan." Chan cleared his throat, " so lemme get this straight you want to be apart of 01 but why?" He crossed his arms leaning back in his chair.

" stop it p-please!" The rain hitting hard on his back as he laid on the wet cement of the roof. A gun slowly pointed and rested on the males head across from him, tears streamed from Lee's eyes. " lee it's o-okay" the boy spoke as blood flowed from a wound on his forehead, they boy was in fact  Han. " I'll do anything please just leave him alone!" Lee screamed. The man holding the gun sighed, " I wanted my money Lee" he pressed his boot harder on hans back as han grunted. Lee tried to get up but couldn't, " I t-told you I'll get it just please don't hurt him". The man laughed," look at you lee so weak and pathetic over him" he said as he pushed the tip of the gun harder into Hans skull. " STOP STOP okay okay listen let's just talk ab-" the second gunman had hit lee in the back of the head causing his vision to go blurry. Fading in and out of consciousness he sees Han being dragged by his shirt collar, a weak please left lees lips as he reached out for his lover. Just then the sound of a gunshot ringed in his ears as he finally blacked out.

A tear fell down his face as he looked back up at chan, " they killed him chan. They took Han from me and I won't stop until they are killed" his face flushed red and hot from the crying. Chan looked pale and froze, his hand ran through his blonde hair. " I'm so sorry lee" he stood up looking through the window the lead into the casino from his up high office. " if you join 01 you must fully commit, and you can never go back" he spoke.
Lee wiped his nose and eyes, " I'll do anything" Chan sighed and looked at him. " follow me" he said without turning around.

Chan lead Lee through the casino, all the flashing lights and loud music. He lead him to a secluded bathroom, Chan hit a secret button that opened a hidden room in the bathroom. Just then two men grabbed Lee by his arms and threw him into a chair and tied him down. " Chan what's-" Chan once again cut him off, " do it" he told the two. The ripped lees sleeve up on his left arm, the other man took a hot branding iron that read "01" and pressed it into lees skin.

As Chan left the room screams of pain and burning flesh could be heard, s tear fell down his face but he quickly composed himself and continued on.
