The Executioner

C H A P T E R III.

"Uh guys, do we really have to go in there? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid or anything, but it may collapse you know, safety above anything else and what not." Julian mutters while scratching the back of his neck as we pull up.

"Shut up and let's go before I decide to kill you!" Liam spits at Julian before he gets out and slams the door with more force than necessary.

"Come on Luca, are you sure? But-but-but.." Julian stammers trying to find a valid reason not to go in.

I give him a stern look, which shuts him right up before I get out of the car and make my way towards the entrance with my team flanking me. I throw the door open with a bang which resonates through the empty warehouse like a gunshot.

"Nice one Luca, bravo, now if there are ghosts here, which I'm pretty sure there are, they sure as hell know we're here!" Julian whisper-shouts while looking around frantically.

I just sigh and continue my way inside. There isn't much here really, just some old crates and a single light bulb in the middle hanging loosely from the ceiling.

Where is G? He told us to be here..

As if being summoned, G strolls inside through the same door we entered with his hands in his pant pockets.

"Good to see you team ZERO, sorry for the short notice, but unfortunately this can't wait." G greets us.

"Heya bossy, no probs, but was it really necessary to have a meeting in this creepy place? Not that I'm complaining but Liam was kinda scared to come in." Julian pipes up grinning. Earning him a glare from everyone.

"Yes Julian, it was, now before we get down to why you're here" G paused looking us all in the eyes "You're going to be teamed up with one of my agents for this one." he finished.

"What? Who? You don't have solo agents. We're all in teams." I say confused while looking at my teammates to see that they seem to be just as confused as I am, well everyone but Angelo who stares at G blankly.

"I do have ONE solo agent. You're going to be working with The Executioner." G explains looking bored and amused at the same time.

We share a look and burst out laughing.

Well would you look at that, never thought G had it in him to joke around.

"Real funny G, but come on, let's get to the point, who are we working with?" I ask sobering from my laughing fit.

Just as the question leave my mouth, someone let's out an ear splitting high pitched scream. Julian starts running around, screaming at the top of his lungs while we just stare at him.

"HELP! HELP! GET IT OFF! SOMEONE GET IT OFF!" he continues screaming while trying to get a spider off his shoulder without having to touch it.

I sigh, shake my head and start to make my way towards him when I hear the sound of a dagger slicing through the air making me instantly alert. It misses Julians shoulder by mere millimeters before it impales itself into the wall. I start looking for any sign of danger, just like all my teammates, well except for Julian who just stays sock still with his mouth agape. After a beat Julian seems to have realized what just happened and lets out another scream. G sighs and runs his hand tiredly down his face.

"You're welcome." a sensual slightly raspy voice echoes through the warehouse. That's when we all realize that the spider was no longer on Julians shoulder but impaled to the wall by the gonddamned dagger.

Holy shit...

"T-t-thanks" stutters Julian looking in the direction from where the voice was heard with a pale face before turning to us "There are no ghosts here, my ass!!"

"Guys, meet The Executioner." announces G with an exasperated voice.

"Suuuure, even IF the Executioner is indeed real and that is one big motherfucking if, he sure as hell ain't a girl" pipes up Liam while raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms across his chest.

Just as he finished his sentence another dagger sliced through the air heading straight in Liams direction cutting his pants between his legs barely missing his family jewels. He stays shock still while his face visibly pales before looking down and cupping his crotch to make sure nothing was damaged.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" he shouts in shock.

"I would strongly advise you to keep your sexist comments to yourself from here on out Bubblegum, because trust me, next time I won't be so nice." the voice says as a figure steps into the light and my breath is caught in my throat.

HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS...
