The Mission

by Ko Rava

Why can't ONE thing just go to plan???
I was instructed to lead the Kobun for such a simple task so why can't things just work out for once??
 
We killed him so that is that, figuring out what to do and how to go about it was insane. If big sis were here, we wouldn't have had a problem. She would've known what to do from the beginning, how to finish this without interruptions.
 
This was my first mission in charge, and although the target was still killed, I felt like I failed.
We scouted the building after alerting the security that we were there. Waited for nightfall until patrons were low and we had the dark to our advantage. We scouted the establishment during the day, found a back entrance and we decided a plan. We'd go through the back door with illusion crafted crates and hoods, establishing ourselves as deliveryman.
 
Stubborn bartender wouldn't follow us into the back room, so that was a hiccup along the way. This stupid annoying frog wouldn't back off either, staying uncomfortably close to my face, I was looking from eye to eye because they were too far apart, there was no way he could see me that close.
 
He followed Naoto and I outside, pulled out his rapier and demanded a fight.
For the love of Foo why now????
Luckily Taro took him on so we could finish the job.
Jorvan Jorwick, a ripe pain in my ass, the owner of the establishment. Our target. He's much too trusting with deliveries, allowed us to walk straight into his storeroom.
 
He wouldn't follow us on after much convincing, so we decided a plan to cause a ruccus by breaking bottles and spilling alcohol in the back room. We heard unhappy grunts and words as he made his way over. We got the jump on him finally. Only for him to push us back with a large amount of force without touching us. He had a djinn. Shit. Headquarters tell us nothing. There was nothing Naoto an di could do, and I'd be damned if I let another one of my family die. I did the only thing I could think of.
 
Set the bitch on fire. It was a bar, highly flammable right. It went up immediately, I dragged Naoto outside, only to see Taro lying next to the fucking frog, shit. He had a pulse but it was weak, the frog looked pretty dead. I didn't bother checking.
 
I looked back while Naoto and I dragged Taro's body back to HQ, the building was on fire. We are so going to be punished for this.
Why can't things just go right for once??
