Erik walked down the white hallways of the 'Organization'. he stood about 6'3 and was lean with muscle. he walked with long strides that had an air of lethal danger that everyone who passed him knowingly avoided. the 'Bosses' office was just down this hallway. upon reaching the door, he put his thumb on the scanner, automatically it opened sideways. he stepped through with his long strides, the door closing behind him. the jaguar sat on a leather swivel chair. antiques and expensive things were all over but Erik paid no attention, his amber eyes stared at his Boss.
"you hailed me Harold?" his smooth voice asked, Harold stood up and handed him a file "your next victim" as Erik opened it Harold began to speak "Akita Funakoshi, he is the number one drug lord in Tokyo Japan. for the past several months he has been untouchable, I want you to go there in a weeks time"
Erik clenched his jaw in anger as he stared at his boss, who stared back unflinchingly. "you know that in a week Viola and I is having our two year anniversary right?" he growled, Harold shrugged "you have a mission now, you have to wait till next year to have a celebration"
"I won't, this is the one thing I will not miss!" Erik snapped. Harold sighed "fine, have your celebration, but you absolutely must leave at the maximum of three days afterwords"
Erik nodded, he turned on his heel and left the office.
Viola was cooking some food in the kitchen, she hummed a soft tune as she chopped potato's to steam. Salmon, salad greens and mashed potatoes for dinner tonight. delicious. she moved gracefully about the kitchen, making sure that everything was just right. she wanted to surprise Erik, her heart fluttered when she heard the slider door open, the only door that Erik enters into the house, as a way of telling her that he was home. she heard him walk into the living room, hearing him sigh as he collapsed into a dinning room chair.
"I see your home?" she said as she walked to the fridge to get some butter. Erik, who had the faintest smile on his face agreed "I am home... and was somewhat cranky"
Viola made a face "what made you not cranky anymore?" she asked. her green eyes curious, he smiled now "you..just seeing and being near you will wipe away any negative emotions I felt earlier"
Viola blushed, then noticed the folder on the table, her face fell :another assignment?" she asked sadly, Erik nodded "but I will leave after our anniversary" he stood up and walked up to her, hugging her and kissing her. "I wouldn't miss it for the world" Viola gazed at her handsome husband and smiled "alright, go do your thing now while I finish dinner. coffee is in the pot"
Erik smiled at his angelic wife, she was such a saint to him, he poured coffee in a mug, he liked it dark, no sugar or cream. sitting down at the table he opened the file and began to read Funakoshi's criminal record
-
Harold sat in his office...it was dark, he hated light. he yellow eyes flickered to the phone, as he picked it up and called the number, it went to his secratary "yes sir?" her sweet voice asked.
"Julllian, make the call to the Shadow Family... I need them to join Phantom"
-
Ricca's mobile rang next to her, she stirred slightly. her dark green scales catching the light as a dark gray hand grabbed the phone. "Jethro speaking, I'll get her for you." he held the phone to his shoulder and calmly kicked his older sister off the lounge she had crashed on the moment the three got home from their last assignment. "phone, it's work." he walked to the other side of the room throwing her the phone before sitting down and continuing to play his game of lost planet. "hay jullian, when do you need us to come in for the briefing. now?....OK, I'll wake up max and we'll be there right away." she hung up the phone with a sigh. "so who's on the chopping block now?!" max asked walking past in his boxers. "we have to go help some hot shot do his job, man why can't the police just line these guys up and shoot them?" "cos then we would be out on the street begging for scraps rather than deciding who's been good enough to live for a little while longer." said Jethro emotionless now saving his game and grabbing his sword. max just made a cat sound from the kitchen before returning fully dressed and throwing Ricca's uniform to her. "let's go."
about an hour later the three were walking up the hallway to the boss' office, the three entered cautiously. their eyes seamed to glow dimly in the low lighting, Ricca's dark purple, Max's dark yellow and Jethro's light gray.
-
Erik who is now cranky from being called in the middle of the night to go to the Office. he stormed into Harold's office, his amber eyes glowed with fury, he looked around the room, seeing three lance monitor...kids? the youngest was about fifteen years old. he snapped his gaze back to Harold who stared at him with an amused look in his eye.
"Nice Pajamas" he commented. Erik's eye twitched. he looked back at the kids again, he frowned "what is this?" he asked
"your new helpers... and no, you may not oppose against it."
Erik growled low as he eyed his new... helpers. he prefered to work alone, Harold sat down in his desk as he explained the new mission to the trio
-
as the three listened quietly Jethro never looked away from their new partner. his gray eyes watching and reading every twitch or movement. as soon as the boss had finished talking he rose and walked over to the door. "i need a drink." was all he said before walking out of the room. Ricca just sighed "I'm sorry about him, he never really did agree with our line of work." "and you sound like our dad......but furrier...yea you and jet are going to hate each other. so whats your speciality?" max asked extending a hand.
-
Erik couldn't help but like the kid, he inhaled before shaking his hand awkwardly. "I am a Level fifteen assassin" (sorry I forgot in this organization, your have to gain levels to go on better missions... level fifteen is the top ranking) Harold decided to jump in "Erik is my top assassin, he was the one who practically brought down the Rebellion in Russia in 1990" he eyed Ricca "surely you and your brothers have been taught our history?"
-
"taught it....our parents wouldn't shut up about you people. "they were both level twelve, the three of as are currently level eleven." at that moment Jethro walked back in and sat down. "so how much time do we get after we leave?"
-
"Tomorrow" Harold answered quickly, he shot a glance at Erik "you will be staying at his place in the mean time..." Erik held a murderous look in his eye, Harold paid no head to it. "we will send for you when its. today you will spend the Day with Erik and his lovely wife Viola" Erik looked like he was about to snap. "Erik, control yourself" Harold said calmly as he sat down in his desk. "you know your ordered... go" Erik turned on his heel and stormed out of the office. Harold gave the kids a small smile "don't worry, I think you will like Viola, she is exactly the exact opposite of our Charming Erik" he went back to signing papers.
-
"the three walked out of the room "we might like her but will we survive the day with him?" max joked on the way out. the ride to his place was..awkward to say the least. "um.....if we're interupting something then we can go back to our place and meet you after....or something....." jethro just sat there looking out the closest window.
-
Erik was silent the whole drive back to his home. it looked pretty ordinary... with a few things different. he lead the group to the back, sliding door, his beautiful wife, Viola was already in the kitchen...at four in the morning. she wore her usual pajama's of sweats and a tank top, her shoulder lengths red hair pulled back into a pony tail as she made a face. her curious emerald green eyes on the kids.
"who are they?" she asked. he glared at the wall "my kindergarten class" he snarled she frowned, rather annoyed, she sent Erik to his room, whom he gladly obliged. going upstairs Viola smiled "hey you guys, my name is Viola, Mr. Grump's wife, don't worry, after some sleep and some coffee later he will...maybe come around" she chuckled to herself she opened the cupboard. "you guys in for chocolate chip pancakes?" she asked, she smiled kindly at the trio, she liked kids.
-
"hi I'm Ricca and these are my brothers, max and Jethro." she said calmly "food sounds nice...." "I'm not hungry, could you show we where i could sleep?" Jethro asked calmly looking away.
-
Viola showed Jethro to the guest room, right after she began to make breakfast. "I know that Erik can rub people the wrong way, but he means well, he would never take an innocent life, he takes his job seriously" she smiled kindly at Ricca " you're probably wondering how I am able to be married to him"
-
"kinda, you seem so different, but i guess love works in strange ways sometimes." she smiled, almost adoring viola's beauty. "hay sis, stop staring before you start drooling." max said siting next to her.
-
Viola chuckled, she served up the first batch of chocolate chip pancakes to her guests, then ate one herself. "Erik...is interesting, though on missions, beware, you have to go by his rules" she sighed "I surely had my share of guns, fighting and car chases and no I am not an assassin" she looked sadly at them "your too young to kill others" she gave a gentle smile to Ricca "will your brother want some pancakes when he wakes up?"
-
"more than likely, hes not the talking type. but he's not that bad. these are Delicious!" "nicest thing I've eaten in a while. shouldn't have said that......." Ricca gave him him a blank stare and went back to eating quietly.
-
Viola shook her head and smiled, she poured fresh squeezed orange juice that she just did that night for the kids "I'm gonna be feeding you until you have to leave, my grandmother being a southern woman fed her kids and grand kids all the time, drove my momma crazy" she smiled as she poured some herself " everything here is fresh" she said with a smile "I was raised on a farm, Erik however being a city boy only knew of packaged food" she wanted to take the mission off the kids mind. she began to make coffee for Erik, even though he wouldn't wake up until 10 am this morning. though she was going to make some for her guest and herself. "want some coffee?"
-
"no thank you i don't drink coffee." "yes please. so whats it like to be married to someone in our profeccion?"
-
Viola thought for a moment as the lovely aroma of coffee filled the kitchen. "well, Erik and I met randomly at the diner I worked at, I was twenty at the time. I was the waitress who took his order. randomly our diner was attack by a group of gansters, I was slightly wounded by a gun shot to my thigh, luckily it only grazed my leg. Erik constantly tells me the reason why he 'whisked' me away was because it was love at first sight for him" Viola blushed slightly " though I believe that it was along the way he did" she poured more orange juice for both Ricca and max. "he was different then... many fellow assassins say that 'I' changed him but I think it was him willing to change himself" she smiled at Ricca "Erik is a very different person when no one is around, Harold was furious when Erik told him that he and I were engaged an going to be married but look at us now eh?" she leaned in so only Ricca can hear " the secret to winning a man like Erik..is compassion, he will remain loyal to you until death and even after"
-
"well I'm going to leave you two to talk, thank you for your hospitality and it was nice meeting you." max said finishing the glass of juice and walking into the room Jethro was sleeping in. Ricca smiled sighing slightly. "well there is this one guy, i like him but I'm scared that he won't like me cos of my profession." she said looking down into her now half full class "so, what's the event? and don't say nothing, i don't need my brothers talent for reading people to know that we're interupting something."
-
Viola smiled "well... our two year anniversary is coming. Though as far as I know its not gonna happen" she heard footsteps, down came Erik, he looked very irritated, silently he went to the coffee pot, poured it, no sugar or cream and sipped it. "welcome back" Viola mused, he grunted "well Vi, it looks like the anniversary will have to wait..." he growled the last part, Viola nodded. "I can always come with?" she offered, though the secretly scared look in his eye told her he didn't want her to come. but something in her gut told her too "I am coming" and she stood her ground
-
Ricca just watched and stayed silent as the two stood there. about two minuets later Jethro walked out and sat next to his sister and watched silently while Ricca slowly left the room in an attempt to stay out of the conversation. "if you want you can go out today and leave us at our place, we need to grab our things anyway." he suggested grabbing the second half of Ricca's coffee and drinking it quickly.
-
The fuming Erik watched as his beautiful wife turned her attention "are you hungry?" she asked him, she smiled at him
-
"yes, but i can wait till you two finish. no hurry." he said putting down the empty class and looking at the tip of his tail which he moved so that is was in front of him.
-
"Naw its not a bother" she said as she made more food. Erik calmed down as he watched his wife for a moment, when her mind decided on something, she stuck to it. "I'll...go pack your things" he said softly as he walked away. Viola smiled triumphantly
-
"quite a hold of him you've got. you have a strong mind." Jethro said quietly thinking she wouldn't hear. he continued to watch his tail for another few moments before resting it in his lap.
-
Viola smiled but pretended not to hear. Erik went upstairs to pack fro both himself and his wife, deep down inside he was kind of glad she was coming, she was in arms reach, safer.
Viola fixed Jethro's food and then went upstairs to help pack
Erik heard the soft, gentle footsteps of his wife as she came into the room to help gather other necessary things.
-
max walked out of the second story guest room. he lazily yawned half asleep when he reached the stairs. his eyes shot open when he remembered the this set of stairs went down, not up like his room at home. loud thumps could be heard through out the house. "I'm OK! well at least I'm awake now." he smirked as Jethro walked over to see what the noise was. he just sighed and helped max up before returning to his breakfast. "theres a set of stairs there max!" Ricca called playfully from the top of the stairs. "thanks....I'll keep that in mind." he smirked rubbing his head while still standing at the bottom of the stairs.
-
Erik growled at the noise. "what is it with kids and stairs?" he asked himself quietly. Viola checked him, seeing he was fine. she joined into the tease "occasionally they move, kinda like the Hogwarts stair cases"
-
max smiled calmly still rubbing his head "yea, sorry to disturb you. i forgot we weren't at home, where the stairs go up not down." "don't worry, hes to hard headed to have and permanent damage. thank you for the wonderfull meal." Jethro said walking past and sitting down on the stairs and looking into space. "so, do you know how long till we leave?"
