𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄, 𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐘/𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐀 sharp turn driving their car while trying to reach the place. They eventually stopped on the side of the road and Five and Y/n unbuckled their seatbelts. Luther was in the driver's seat, Five was in the front passenger's seat and Y/n was in the backseat sitting behind Five. Between Five and Luther there was also a fake briefcase that they were going to use to trick Hazel and Cha-Cha.
Y/n looked out the window with her arms and legs crossed. Five also looked out his window and sighed.
"You know, we never really enjoyed it."
Luther looked at Five breaking his gaze."What?"
"The killing." Five looked out through the car's front window while Y/n looked at him through the mirror that was outside of the car on the side."I mean, we were...we were good at our work and we...I took pride in it." Five fixed his sentence looking back at Luther which caught Y/n's full attention."But it never gave us pleasure."
He was right. Y/n was never proud of her work. Working at a job she could not decide and had to take on without her consent, never made her feel like it was something amazing.
Five sighed again looking out the car's front window."I think it was all those years of us alone. Solitude can do funny things to the mind."
"Yeah, well, you two were gone for such a long time."Luther added."I only spent four years on the moon, but that was more than enough." Five and Y/n looked at Luther."It's the being alone that breaks you."
Five's hair was brushed by the wind from the window while Luther looked at the briefcase between them.
"You think they'll buy it?"
"Well, what I do know is that they're desperate." Five looked at the briefcase too."It's like a cop losing his gun. If the commission finds out, they'll be in deep shit. Oh, not to mention the fact that they'll be stuck here until they get it back."
Then Five looked through the mirror at Y/n and saw that she was pretty nervous. She was looking down at her feet and thinking of what was going to happen since going back to the commission, it the last thing she might do. Same with Five tho. But he doesn't have a huge problem coming back, while for Y/n it might be...hard.

"Well, I should hold onto it." Luther interrupted their silent interaction.
"Hm?" Five looked back a Luther.
"In case they make a move on you." Luther glanced at Five and Y/n. She looked up with a look that said "Believe me, I don't want to do this either".
"Okay, Luther, but be careful. I mean, we've...we've lived long lives, but...you're still a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you. Don't waste it." Five talked. Luther just kept looking at him confused the whole time which Y/n found a little bit comforting.
Then they heard a car approaching and the three of them looked at it. Y/n moved to the side to be in the middle and to see clearly. And in the car was none other than Hazel and Cha-Cha.
"Here we go." Five said and the three of them got out of the car. But Five stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Y/n.
"You ok?" He asked looking at her with sympathy.
"Currently, I am doing something against my will like the job that started everything in the first place, but...I'll be fine." She scoffed as she walked past Five and towards the road.
Five felt a little bit bad and he was thinking that this is after all, not a good plan. But they had no choice.
The car drove past them and all three of them followed them with their gaze. Five was in the front, Luther was in the middle and Y/n was in the back.
Then Y/n walked closer to Luther."If this all goes sideways, do me a favor and tell Delores I'm sorry. That we're sorry."
Luther nodded and Five looked at her. She walked up to him and looked at the car.
"Why did you say to Luther that you and I are sorry to Delores?"
"If we survive this, I'll tell ya. But if we don't, at least you'll have something to figure out in hell." She looked at him, crossed her arms, and looked back at the car.
The car's door's opened and Hazel and Cha-Cha started walking towards the three of them. Five and Y/n started walking towards them too. Five was holding his hands in his pockets while Y/n still kept her arms crossed on her chest.

"The masks really necessary?" Five pointed at them.
"Yeah, it's not like we haven't seen your faces." Y/n put her right hand on her hip.
Then they took off their masks and threw them off the side.
"So where is it, kid?" Cha-Cha immediately went straight to the point.
"Wow, that's how you're gonna start." Five nodded his head and Y/n scoffed rolling her eyes."You know, we can get right back to our car and call it a day." Five looked back at Luther and smiled.
"You won't even make it halfway there." Cha-Cha pulled out and pointed her gun at them. But Five and Y/n already knew that they were not going to shoot them. They were desperate, they were going to do everything they can.
"Maybe." Y/n smiled and Cha-Cha and Hazel looked at her."But an I'm sure you found out in your previous foray, our brother is not your average giant." Y/n pretended to clean her nails looking at them and smiling back at the two assassins.
"She's right."Hazel finally spoke up."You dropped a chandelier on him, got right back up."
"By the time you took him out, he'd smash your precious briefcase to a pulp." Five added slightly smiling at Y/n while she nodded.
"Probably us too, right?" Hazel pointed his gun at the ground while Cha-Cha kept pointing the gun at the pair."So, how do we help each other?"
"We need for you to get in contact with your superior so I can have a chat with her. Face-to-face." Five explained really simply.
"About what?" Cha-Cha asked worriedly.
"Well, I don't believe that's any of your concern." Y/n intervened in the conversation once again and all of them looked at her while she glared at Cha-Cha.
"Just don't tell her about the briefcase." Cha-Cha lowered her gun.
"Fair enough." Five said and Hazel and Cha-Cha went to the phone to call the boss. Five and Y/n also walked back to the car and Y/n sighed in relief.
"You nervous?" Five looked at her while they were walking.
"Yeah, a little bit." She sighed.
While Cha-Cha was ringing the phone, Five and Y/n both leaned on the car and Luther came up to them. Five still had his hands in his pockets and Y/n just crossed her arms on her chest again.
"What happens now?" Luther asked.
"Now we wait."
They were standing there on the road with the wind whistling through their ears and the sun slightly shinning.
Then they heard an ice cream truck chime a song. The three of them turned around and looked at what was coming. Five and Y/n stood up and stopped leaning on the car walking up closer to Luther.
They saw an ice cream truck go towards them. Hazel and Cha-Cha were also looking weirded out. They both looked at one another confused.
The ice cream truck came closer towards the trio."Is that her?" Luther turned around at Five and looked at him.
But it was none other than Klaus. All in glory waiving at them while Diego was in the passenger seat.
They drove past them while the others watched in confusion."What the hell is he doing here?" Five asked frustrated.
"Go faster!" Diego was yelling at Klaus.
"Whee!" Ben was sitting on the dashboard and smiling at the amusement.
"It's a setup!" Cha-Cha yelled and so she and Hazel started shooting at the truck. Luther immediately shoved Five and Y/n behind him to keep them safe.
Then the ice cream truck hit Hazel and Cha-Cha and sent them flying in the air. Just as they shot their bullet, it stopped mid-air.
Everything stopped.
Everything also became brighter than it would usually be.
Five and Y/n saw that they were the only ones who were not frozen. They looked at everything while still standing behind Luther.
"What the hell?" Y/n muttered to herself.
They walked out from behind Luther to observe everything even more. Five looked over back at Luther while Y/n looked at Hazel and Cha-Cha.
They both walked out into the middle of the road but stopped in their tracks, everything seemed too...familiar.
"Neat trick, isn't it?"

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Et Non Lucem
A lonely fortress, a (slightly) deranged assassin, secrets, intrigue, magic and war. What could possible go wrong? If you've ever wondered what would happen if somebody attempted to blend a realistic medieval world with fantasy, then this is for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when you stick some (extremely) flawed humans into positions of power and try making them save the world, then this story is for you. Or if you're simply bored and can't seem to decide on a new story to read, then this story is for you!This is my first ever attempt at writing a story after years and years of reading, so any and all constrictive criticism is appreciated!
