At Rick's Home:

Rick is eating his breakfast with other members of family. David takes an early leave citing an important meeting to attend. Leyla follows him with his black lawyer briefcase. Ella notices his brother's happiness which she definitely had part in.

"Now things have been settled between You & Jasmine. I think you'll focus on your family too," she lays out her cryptic hint.

Although knowing clearly what she really wants him to focus on, he plays the game in her way. "I always focus on my family."

"I'm just saying so you don't miss anything," taking a water glass she hides her smile.

"Are you referring to something in particular?" He narrows his eyes.

She puts down the glass, a little irritated as she takes a hint that he doesn't remember. "You don't know about today?"

"What? Is there something special about today?" he asks innocently.

"No...nothing." Making a poker face she pushes her unfinished plate. She gets up and stomps out of the hall towards her room.

Rick's phone chimes up. Meet me at Andre's Movers & Packers, says the message from Laura. He smiles looking at it. Do you need an amateur's help? he replies. Are you coming or not? she asks.

"I am but I need to set something up first," saying to himself he dials Jasmine. "Hey, I need your help?"

"Sure Rick," says Jasmine in a pleasing tone.

"I've got some unexpected work pressure. So can you make some arrangements for Ella's birthday tonight?"

"I'd love to."

"Perfect...I'll send you the details." Hanging up he taps on his phone and walks outside. Finished with sending details he steps in the cab towards the mission location.

--------------------------

At Andre's Movers & Packers:

Rick steps out of his cab. Laura's car is seen parked on the opposite side of the road. He steps in her car and looks towards the building she's focused on with her binoculars. "Andre's moving & packing business is only a shell activity...actual money comes from the sale of Opiotox."

"What is that?"

Putting aside the binoculars, she explains, "A new highly addictive drug derived from Opium that's crumbling the town's youngsters. Our client Jeffrey's son took it for once but Andre is not leaving the kid alone."

"So we'll destroy a drug racket?" Rick asks beamed up as if he has been waiting for something like this.

"No, that's upto law enforcement. We're here only to threaten Andre," she lays out the fact. Rick seems discouraged.

"So how do we do it?" she asks.

Taking a pause he thinks for a moment. A vicious idea chimes him up. He's been wanting to kick some asses since he's been proven a liar by Adrian. Now seems a good time to channelize his rage. "We'll do it your way," he says in a stern tone.

"Alright...let's do this." She seems happy obviously waiting for something fun like this. They step out of the car and walk towards a giant metal door. Two people dressed in grey uniforms are roaming around the gate.

One of them greets the duo with a smile. "Welcome, what package do you want to move?"

"We're not here to move package gentlemen, we are to move your boss," Rick says, replicating the man's smile. The man gets the hint clearly and charges immediately with his right fist.

With a swift move to the side Rick dodges the punch. Gripping the man's hand in mid-air, Rick twists it towards the ground. Man groans in pain. Sliding his leg on the ground, Rick makes him fall.

The other man dodges a flying kick by Laura. She steps back to let the man's punch miss her stomach by inches. A strong kick on his chest then makes him fly backwards. He hits the metal door behind and falls to the ground.

Rick passes the giant metal door having a small opening in it's right bottom. Two vans on each side are parked in series leading to the 3 storey building. Metal bang sound by man hitting the gate by Laura's kick has made all workers alert.

Two men behind a van are sneaking upon Rick who gets followed by Laura. As Rick comes near the van. Both of them rise from their ducked position and jump on Rick.

Rick's both hands get gripped by two men. Making him walk forcibly they push his head towards the van's glass window. Glass shatters on impact and Rick groans in pain.

With his head inside the van, Rick hears the sound of two shots of gun fired. His hand tucked behind by men gets free. He takes his head out of the van and looks to his left.

Laura is holding the gun in his direction. The men groaning in pain lies around his feet. "Didn't you say...just threaten?" he asks, kicking aside a man.

"Where's the fun in that?" Lowering her head to the sides she replies. "Here." She throws a gun at him.

"My aim isn't that good." Catching the gun he informs.

"Practice makes perfect." She shoots another one coming out of the building behind Rick. She walks past him and kicks the wooden door of the entrance. Rick follows her.

They walk in a narrow alley towards an elevator in front. As Laura steps in a wide open area near the elevator. It dings open. Three men inside charge on her before she can use her gun.

Men's hands form a maze and trap her both hands inside. With all her strength she makes them turn back with her. "You need an invite?...SHOOT!!" she says to Rick, in a strangled voice.

Rick points his gun at them but doesn't click it. Men are trying to reach her throat but she is blocking them with her hands. "I don't have a clear target," he says, a bit panicked.

"Well then just shoot me!" she says frustrated.

Rick clicks the gun only once intentionally but it clicks for three times. A bullet hits straight in a man's head in the right to Laura. Next one goes in another man's hand around Laura's ear. Last one passes almost touching her ear.

The two men hit by bullets lose their grip on her. She twists the third man from the left to come in her front. She punches him in the face and throws him on two others now settling on the ground.

"Nice shot." She tucks a bang of hair behind her ear and touches her ear. Rick scowls and lowers his gun.

They get into the elevator. She chips in for the top floor.

Inside a modern office-like room, a man is dancing around his desk. The nameplate on the desk says Andre Saltsman. He has big headphones over his head covering his ears.

"They say I walk like a king...I talk like a king." Humming the song, Andre is fully lost in his unrhythmic dance steps.

The wooden door behind him breaks open. Duo enters with guns in their hands but he stays unaware. "MAKE WAY FOR THE KING!!" Andre sings out loud.

Headphones on each side burst out one by one. The bullets having pierced it hit the wall in front of him making holes. He turns back hastily.

Laura has her gun pointed at him. He gets horrified as a sense of reality kicks in. "who the FUCK ARE YOU BITCH?" he spits out.

Rick loses his temper and jumps over the desk. Taking him by his collar, Rick thrashes him on the wall behind. A round of punches on his face makes it wet in blood.

"Mr. Andre, stay away from Jeffrey's son," Laura warns. Rick lets him slide to the ground. He gasps for air, wiping blood over his face.

"Else WHAT?" he retaliates. "Else next bullets will come from me and I might miss your headphones," replies Rick. Andre looks at him greeting his teeth.

"Do you understand or not?" Laura asks, still pointing her gun at him.

"I do." Lowering his gaze to the floor he answers.

Laura puts the gun back into her waistband and walks towards the exit. Rick steps towards her.

"Who are you?" Andre asks.

"Rick," comes out his mouth but he realises the mistake instantly. "WICK...JOHN WICK," he repeats loudly.

Walking out of the giant gate Rick settles in Laura's car. She turns to him "Sorry about the other day...I was too rude," she says in a low tone for the first time.

"It's okay...I wasn't well either," he says with a light smile.

"I've decided to train you."

"That's good news...thanks," he says, all beamed up.

"Welcome...let's drop you at your office." She moves the car gear towards the front.

Hi Aeron here!

In all the missions, I never really want you to focus on the villain. But for this one, I've named the location in Villain's name. I also hope the mission was interesting enough so that you remember Andre's name. Why? you'll get to know soon.

Peace!! See you in the next one!!
