Like, 1-2 hour time skip on our side. Not everything is happening in exact chronologic order of posts, necessarily, so you're good

*timeskip noises*

Cruz and Trace made their way through the island on an ATV they had "borrowed", circling several cities until they made their way to the capital, where their target lay.

The place he had grown up. The place he had abandoned.

And for good reason.

They walk through the streets, Cruz more anxious than ever. Stop it, Cruz, he told himself, you need strength for what you're about to do. He calmed his heart and went over little logical puzzles in his head.

At long last, they reached their next destination. Cruz pulled out a small black tube, about as big as his thumb, and turned to Trace.

"This is a flashing light device," Cruz explained. "It's very bright and flashes like lightning for several seconds. I'll activate it when I need you to come in, don't let it blind you. Basically, you'll just need to come in and take out all the guards and stuff, make a lot of noise, draw a lot of attention."

"Basic murder things?"

"Basic murder things?"

Cruz nodded. "Your specialty. Where did you learn to fight so well?"

"From the looks I've seen from you, I kinda doubt that's what you want. Maybe you should take up loud murder: from what I can gather, you want her to see the whites of your eyes before you kill her."

"I would love that, but this just needs to get over with. I can't tell you how many times I've been here before, waiting to commit this exact murder..." he trailed off for a moment. "Then I traveled the great distance it is all the way back to my shop. It'll be different now, with you here."

Cruz cleared his throat. "But if there ever was a murder to be silent, and unknown, it's this one. You can count on that."

"Why?"

"Why?"

Cruz didn't answer. "Just... wait for my signal."

Cruz sighed. "This island... it's where I grew up. Where my friends live--used to live. Lady Lena, was, for a time, my mentor. She gave me my initial training as assassin."

"To satisfy the demands for justice. She... she betrayed me, in my most crucial moments, and I had to leave." Hiylera, how it hurt to say those words aloud.

"For that, she must pay."

Wow... Cruz is totally a Skybreaker.

"The memories. Of my mentor... of my old friends. The only people I cared about. My mother left me, and my father was an addict. My friends took me in as family, and..." Cruz felt a sharp and deep pang of sorrow.

"And she killed them."

Trace reached out and pulled Cruz into a hug.

Pitiful. He was absolutely pitiful. Needing comfort from a child? What has he become?

In that moment, he didn't care.

After a few moments too long, he pulled back and got a grip on his emotions. Not a good emotional state to be in before committing a stealthy murder.

"Enough about me," he said, "Tell me about you."

"Umm... well, to start, I don't usually hug people." She frowned. "I have no idea what just came over me. Maybe Janice did something from the background?"
