"What do you want to be when you grow up?" I asked Five.
Five looked at me and started to move her hands too quickly for me to process. Five and I had started to learn sign language however she was far better than I was.
"Whoa - slow down."
Five laughed as she redid her signs. This time more exaggerated
"A doctor?" I said. "That's a good one. You'll have to work hard for that."
Five's face twisted into a pout. She stood up from the table, walked over to me, balled her tiny fists and started to throw punches at my stomach.
I was confused for a second as I stared down at her. However, after some time I started to smile. I picked her up, throwing her up in the air. She was surprised but quickly started to laugh uncontrollably. I kept tossing her in the air over and over till my arms burned and we were both breathless.
"You hungry?" I asked Five.
She nodded vigorously, quickly signing what I made out as pancakes. Smiling I started to make her pancakes. It was one of the only things that I knew how to make. Julius and I used to make them before he passed. They were his favourite too.
After finishing the pancakes, I looked at my watch, realising that I needed to head out to work again. I said goodbye to Five and my mother and left.
"Today your target is the Brokers, same as usual, take them out." My boss said.
That was the gang that hurt Five.
I started to walk out the building, my boss shouted after me, but I couldn't hear a word.
Ten minutes later I stood in front of the base of the Brokers. I drew my sword and reached in my pocket for my dice. However, I stopped myself. I left the dice in my pocket.
Everyone inside was already dead.
