Good Time

(Jodi)
"So. Tell me Jonathan. How did you become Delirious?" I asked. "Uh... Well. It's complicated." "I can take it." I said.

"Well. I'm crazy. Psychotic. Delirious. When I feel like it I could kill anyone and no one could stop me.  and... Then I met Vanoss. He helped me. He saved me from myself. And he became like family. The whole crew became like family." I nodded. His phone then rang. "Hello? Oh Hi Vanoss. Yeah. Already Done. Yeah. She is sitting in front of me. Yeah. She is OK." I chuckled. Evan is trying to be an overprotective brother. Delirious then hung up. "Evan being a pain in the ass?" I asked. "When isn't he?" He said laughing. Then the door opened and Delirious threw his mask on fast. "Hey Jonathan." "Oh... Hey Luke thought you were someone else there." "Is that Vanoss' sister?" "Yeah. Helped her out of a sticky situation earlier. We've just been sitting her chatting." "You chat? Ha! Hey there. I'm Luke. But most people know me as Cartoonz. Or just plain Toonz." I nodded. "Pleasure to meet you Luke. I'm Jodi. I'm also known as The Owl." "You mean the top assassin?" Luke said stepping back a bit. "Yup. That's me but don't worry. I only kill when I'm paid to. Well.... Or the person who I'm sent to kill pays me off." I thn started to think. I need to get a new client. Since i did quit that job. "OK." Luke said. I then stood up. "Now. If you'll excuse me both of you. I need to find a new client. Since I gave up my last job for you fools" I said as I walked out the door.

I felt Delirious put a hand on my shoulder. "Let me come with you." I turned and looked at him. "Fine. But you'll have to keep up." I said. I smiled and quickly scaled a building nearby. I opened a grate and pulled out my spare hunting outfit and pulled my mask on. He followed me up the building. "So... How does one assassin find customers?" He asked. "Well. When your a well known Assassin like me. Your name and a way to contact you spreads around... There. See that house. There is a man inside. That man wants to do business. I have a website. Del. That's how I get clients." I grabbed his arm and went to a window. I climbed in. "Stick close to me." He nodded. And stuck close to my side. "The Owl! Thank you for giving me audience. Oh? You brought a friend?" "Yes. I did. He is an apprentice." "Oh? The Owl's first apprentice. Let's hope he doesn't back stab you in the future." "Oh he won't. Its... Assassin code that no apprentice can kill their master before or after their training is finished. You wouldn't understand. Now. Who do you want me to kill and what price are you willing to pay?" I felt Delirious grab my hand. I had a bad feeling about this place. Then I heard voices. Voices of police officers. "It's a trap." I said as I pulled Delirious back away from the man. Then the officers came barging in. Then I heard the click of a gun behind me. I was pulled to the ground and bullets were flying. I looked up and there was this crazy look in Jonathan's eyes. He was laughing as his bullets tore apart the officers. When he stopped firing all the officers were dead. He pulled me up. And we left. What he did didn't scare me. But I think he thinks it scared me. "Delirious." "I know. I'm a fucking monster. I feel no remorse when I kill. I could kill a million people and it wouldn't faze me." "You didn't scare me. Why do you think I'm an assassin. I have no remorse. I can kill people and not feel guilt or feel sad. So don't beat yourself up over being 'a monster' because we are all monsters in this world." I brought him to my base. The small one that was originally Cry's. Before he vanished.

"Why hello there."

I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Welcome home." I said. I turned to see Cry. Sitting in the computer chair. His mask still the same blunt look. He laughed. "It seems you made a new friend." His voice seemed to deepen. "Yes. This is Delirious." Del raised his hand and waved. "Hi. Um.. It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Cry. Jodi told me you were her mentor." "And she told you her name. Owl. What was the number one rule?" I laughed "never give away your name. I didn't though. My stupid brother is in town. And he has a gang. He didn't realize the Owl was me he kidnapped me and then he realized his sister is alive and well and has been killing people. Delirious... Works with my brother. And has saved my life more than once now." Cry looked at Delirious. "Nice mask." He said. "Uh... Well your mask is nice too." Delirious said. He is acting weird. "Del you OK?" "No..." He lifted up his sweater to show a bullet wound. I tore off his sweater and sat him down on a cot. "Shirt off." "Damn. Your forward." I rolled my eyes at his stupid joke as he took his shirt off.  I looked and sighed with relive. The bullet went clean through. "I'm gonna have to stitch you up." He nodded. I took my eyes off the wound and looked at the rest of his chest. It was toned but covered in scars. I stitched the front wound up the then had him turn so I could stitch the back. His whole back was covered in scars. Some looked like he was whipped with something. "Can you hurry up and stitch it." He said. I stitched it up and bandaged it. He put his shirt back on. "Where did you get all those scars?" I asked. "You know... Being stabbed shot at and stuff." "And the whip marks?" He then went silent. He didn't want to talk about it.  Cry then pulled me to the side.

"Are you sure you can trust him?" He asked. "Yes. I can." I said. "Just be careful." "Cry... Where have you been? What happened to you?" He sighed. "A lot of things. Which made me take time off. To reevaluate my life. And now I'm back. And ready to kill." "But you went off the radar for so long... I thought you died somewhere. Outside the mask and I would never know if you were dead or not." "I went off the grid originally because... One of my friends. Minx. Her and her wife were killed. And I avenged them. After that... I ran into some of Minx's other friends. And a lot of things happened. I got wounded really bad. And I went even further underground than I already was to keep myself safe. But. Enough about me. How has Los Santos been?" "Well. You are now looking at the top paid Assassin in Los Santos and California. I set up an underground website where people make offers." Cry laughed. "Well. It seems you did pretty good for yourself kid." I laughed "hey you can't call me kid. Your not that much older than I." "How old are you?" He asked. "Twenty three." He then laughed. "I'm older than you. I'm twenty six." Then all I hear is Delirious laugh. "I beat you both. I'm twenty eight!"  We all were laughing after that. It felt good. Us all joking and laughing like that. It felt like nothing could go wrong. Like everything was good. I'm glad to have Cry back. And I'm glad that Delirious is here too. I wish it could stay like this for ever.
