Zack and the killer {AOD}

Train for War

       This was going to be a long day and not because of fun I thought before opening the doors to our training ground. It wasn't much to look at but several hitmen have been trained here. It had a suspended bridge above the floor,weights, and several practice dummies. It felt like home after a long time away."Why are we here?"Zack Huffed as he followed me inside the room. Rachel scanned the gym with her gaze before looking at me."I wanted to get some training in before having to deal with the black smith. Blow off some steam."I said before running forward and grabbing a staff off the weapon rack.Rachel followed me and chose a knife while Zack grabbed a wooden scyth. This was going to be fun,now where is my partner?

    "About damn time I was going to die of boredom."A voice called from above me. I looked up to see Abby staring down at me. She was five foot four with blue boots,coat,arm wraps, and had red hair."Hey blue Jay.Heard I was back huh?"I said before she shot her fake bullets at me. I dodged easily but still felt relaxed."Oh I heard about your exploits smoke."Jay used my code name which means she is pissed."I didn't realize you also decided to start a family here."She mocked me before pointing her gun at Ray. I blocked her shot at the little girl before moving Ray to Zack as he blocked the hail of bullets coming at me. Zack laughed like a maniac and launched forward at Jay with no warning. Jay dodged Zack's swing but was thrown off her balance enough for me to jab her with my staff end. Zack moved to place his weapon to her throat.

   I smiled at her before looking at her smug face."Fine you win."She said before I pinned her to the floor."If we were in the field,you'd be dead."I said while tightening my grip on her wrist.I pulled her to her feet before moving to Ray's age group of hit man in training."I have a new girl for you to meet.This is Rachel and she will be training with you."I said while staring at Prince who was the kid's instructor. Prince smiled at me before gathering his group and led them for laps around the track. I watched the kids for awhile and saw that Ray was getting along with the other kids. I was relieved until I heard Zack yelling behind me. He had picked a fight with one of my friends with some serious muscle.

       I moved faster then I'd ment to and slid behind the body builder. He towered over me at six foot two. He had a tan and ridged stance."Joker what are you thinking about do to our new friend?"I said behind him. His body tensed and he slowly turned his head to meet my eyes. Zack launched forward to hit him but he caught the scyth easily."Smoke,glad to see ya back. Your friend her has got to learn some manners."Joker said simply."Don't ignore me giant prick."Zack shouted while landing a few feet from Joker.I shook my head before waving him off and steeping away from the fight to do some rounds in hand to hand. I fought for awhile with a new recruit before ducking to see Joker being thrown over my head. I was done with the room and I knew I had to meet with the smith soon.

       "Zack,lets go. Ray you too. Momma's got meetings to attend to today."I said over my shoulder. Ray waved bye and Zack walked up to me smugly smiling. We walked down the hallway where there was an elevator waiting. I pressed the basement button and waited as it went down. I was concerned as to what the old man is going to do about my baby battle axe. I know he is going to be pissed about it.It's not helpful that I used it to block bullets. The elevator dinged and the smell of wood and metal shavings met my nose in the breeze coming in. I opened the heavy doors to be greeted by a metal forge. It was still hot from a recant blade being made for another killer.The tools laid out on a dark oak table. There were several weapons and stones but the voice I heard chilled me to the bone.

   "Do you want to tell me what happened to your axe careless girl."The sound came from a six foot man wearing an apron and long beard that was laced with black and silver. He wore rubber boots,camouflage cargo pants and a plain black shirt. His eyes were hardened and the same color as mine."It was the result of the murder house dad,sorry."I said while looking at the floor."DAD?!"Zack shouted in a curious tone while Rachel looked at me with curious eyes. It was then that dad noticed my companions. His eyes roamed over Zack but settled on Rachel."You brought friends I see."He crouched to Rays level."I'm Rachel Gardner. That's Zack."She said while gesturing to Zack."Wait a second,this guy is your dad? I don't buy it."Zack said. He didn't have a chance to say anything else before he was punched in the jaw."Respect young shit. I won't put up with a mummy playing dumb."He quietly said.His voice was deep with a low growl in it.

    "Ok he is your dad."Zack said before getting up while rubbing his jaw.Ray giggled while I looked my dad in the eyes."Ok so you wanted me."I said as he walked back to the forge. He then threw a new axe at me. I caught it with ease before seeing a scyth in the corner. MY dad then walked over to the weapon and threw it to Zack. Zack caught it and looked it over."Thanks old man your not bad."Zack smirked. He then had a piece of rock hit his head. I had to admit dad had good aim. He never missed his mark but even then he was no into killing others."Sir,what about me?"Ray spoke quietly."I have nothing for you child but Rain might."He said while looking at me. The gun in my boot,damn him he knew I had it. I pulled the 9mm in my shoe out and handed it to Ray.

   "You are now equipped to handle your next target for your sake I hope your up for it."He sadi before I walked up to the elevator. Since I killed my mom all those years ago Dad and I aren't close but we still care if the other exists."Be safe here."I said before the doors closed.I then placed the button for the floor of our rooms. I put Ray to bed and laid down with her until she fell asleep. I then walked to my room with Zack following me."You have your own room."I said as I opened the door to mine."I like being with you. That room smells funny."Zack said as I removed my clothes to change into a tank top and shorts. I was exhausted after a hard day.Zack climbed under the covers with me and wrapped his arms around my middle. I started to drift off comforted by his presence.
