Five silhouettes can be seen walking down a snowy road, they are all walking by foot. They are wearing grey coats, their faces are covered with masks that are light grey. Their gloves are black and their pants are all white. They are also wearing white ponchos, they seem to be able to blend in with the snow. One of these people is walking ahead of the rest. "Come on don't be so slow, we should of gone by horses." said a much younger Robert. He has a full grown beard, his hair is much shorter as well. He is the shortest of them all, he has yet to reach his true height.
"Patiences, we haven't been given orders to do anything yet." said one of them, their voice is of a man. It sounds deep and raspy, Robert sighs and continues to walk ahead of them. "Listen to the orders we were give, we aren't some amateurs we are the real deal." he said but Robert ignores him. "What a troublesome kid, he should of never been chosen to be with us." he says under his breath
In the distance a town can be seen, inside the citizens are scared. A group of men are pointing their guns at people. "We just need your money! Don't try anything ,and everything will be fine." one of them said, they walk and demand money. Most of the citizens give it away immediately and some stubborn ones refuse. "Listen, you all have a choice to live, we will not kill anyone." another one repeated. These men are covering their faces, they seem to be agitated. They continues to demand all their valuables, they are in all in some sort of rush.
In the distance now Robert and the other four people are hiding behind a hill. They seem to be watching it all unfold, they are ducking and using their ponchos as cover. "These are the people? They look more pathetic than I expected. I should go in alone, I will finish this job in just under an hour." Robert says but he is stopped, he turns around and sees his arm is grabbed by a much taller one. "Fine but all I'm saying is that this shouldn't be a problem that needed us to fix. Don't just accept every darn mission, it's very annoying."
"It's an honor to serve and protect under the law, you're a kid that doesn't know any better." The man said as he pats Robert's shoulder "Listen to me Locus, these people ar-" Robert then smacks his hand away.
"My name is Robert and you know that, don't give me such stupid name." Robert says angrily, he tries to stand up but is stopped by all the others "What? I'm just doing what should be done. I don't need orders to know when I'm suppose to do my work."
"You should wear your code name with honor, we were saved by the government. They helped us turn our lives around, we should be rotting in prison if not for their mercy. We all should be grateful, our real names are left behind in prison. We are different now, we don't need names and we sure are indebted to them." said their leader, his name is Azalea. "The government has given us strict orders, and following them will lead to the better outcomes." he said "I will tell you all what we do when I say the time is right."
[This is the rumored group which goes by Flowers, they go by this name as the daughter of a governor. Their code names were all chosen by her and there are only five members allowed at a time. Flowers consists of five criminals who are very dangerous. They all are sentenced to death, but these criminals are put under intense rehabilitation. They are atoning for their crimes and have abandoned any form of Identity. They are atoning for their crimes and are tools for the government]
The men are desperate and poor, they are all starving. They seem to be running away, they enter a nearby building "Why did we do this, I never thought we would actually go through." one of the scared men said "We need the money to survive, we aren't hurting anyone. We are all sorry, but what choice did we have." another one says. Some are crying others are keeping silent. "We should of never done this, we are criminals, we can't be saved anymore."
"We were never going to be saved anyways." said the man looking out the window "We either die alone and forgotten or live." Another man sits down "Listen we could of chosen another route, we could of begged harder." He said but this angered the man who was looking through the window "We tried that already for weeks and what did we get, that's right nothing!" He yelled
"Listen to me, what we did was wrong and we can't change that. What we chose to do was what no other criminal could, and that's not hurting anyone. We scared them but never laid a finger on them. Even if they were annoying or uncooperative, we didn't hurt them. We should keep our emotions in check, and leave now while things are not to terrible." said another man, his name is Logan.
The men all take deep breaths and leaves the building. The citizens around them are scared, some of the men close their eye to avoid looking at them. "Listen you people, we got everything we needed. We are leaving now and it would be like nothing ever happened." Logan said. They all get on their horses and begins to speed off.
They are going as fast as they can, they are shaking. "Don't feel regret, that will do nothing but hinder us." said one of the men but his voice is shaking. In the distance they spot someone, the man they spot is walking towards them. They stop their horses barely avoiding hitting him. "Why are we stopping? this isn't the time nor place. We have to leave now!"
They all stop their horses to avoid hitting him "Oh hey there, I know exactly who you men are." it's Robert and he is smiling at them "Pathetic men that's what I call you all, the way you all robbed them." Robert then laughs a bit "You think just because you didn't hurt anyone you guys aren't shit. That's not how the world works, if people call you criminals then that's what you are." The men all get agitated and one of them pulls his gun out. "Now that's what I like to see." Robert says
In unison the men get shot, each within seconds of each other. Their horses get startled and begin to run away. Some of the men fall of but are killed soon after. "Look at the scene that you have caused Locus. They weren't our targets at all, the SDA would of taken care of them." Said Azalea
Robert walks pass the dead bodies of the men, their horses now all gone "Really? Is that why you waited to long to do anything. I thought you were waiting for a bigger reason to kill them." Robert touches a puddle of blood with his index finger and smears it on another member. "So much for your honor and redemption."
"If you would of let me speak, you would of known they weren't our targets. Do you think we would waste our time on these types." Azalea said, another member named Petunia begins to take notes. He examines the bodies, he touches them and checks their equipment. "Let him write a letter to the SDA, let them know that Locus made a huge mistake." Azalea told Petunia who begins to write it down.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they get the notice. They will be more than happy to get credit for something they didn't work for." Petunia says in a monotone voice, he keeps on writing every detail "These men are young and seem to be starving, desperation surely is fascinating." he said as he keeps on touching the corpses.
"I really wanted to kill them myself, it would of been lovely." said another member named Tulip, under his mask he is chuckling. His fingers are scratching his arms "Ever since the [reeducating] all I want to do is to kill criminals. This is amazing Robert, we get to legally kill people that the government doesn't like."
"I would recommend you to be quiet Tulip." Patunia said as he stood up "I don't want to write you up for the third time, I heard that they do ugly things when it's the third." He then puts the notes in an envelope, he hands it to Azalea who puts it in his pocket.
"You all are crazy people, we should embrace what got us here." Robert says but before he can say anything more he is punched in the back of his head "I know that was you Rose, you piece of shit. I remember how you smell and I only let you hit me." Robert says as he turns to Rose the person who he smeared with blood.
Rose doesn't speak at all but stares at Robert "What? Can't speak? Oh right, your tongue got cut off, how can I forget, that's so foolish of me." Rober then laughs
"We are leaving now, I'll deliver this letter. We still aren't where we are supposed to be." Azalea said as the others begin to move, Robert grunts and follows them
———
The very next morning, the weather is terrible. They all are hiding inside the snow, they are sitting down still. They are looking directly at a small village "This must be the mission right? Or is it another false alarm that we won't know until afterwards." Robert says looking directly at Azalea who is ignoring him "I don't get it, how were you chosen as our leader. Was it because your such a lapdog to them, that you have no other purpose than to serve?" Azalea still ignores him
"This is our target, the people inside are more than your normal crooks. They seem to have grown so much since the government first discovered them. We belive they are a gang, called the Lurkers. They seem to be just under 50 members but we can't let them stay. The government has made the wrong decision to let them be. We were given orders to eliminate all of them, starting with this small group." said Azalea
"There are about twelve members, they are the only people who smell the same." Robert says, Tulip smiles and pulls out his revolver. "That's the spirit, at least somebody has the right mind." Azalea points his gun at Robert and Rose has his knife on Tulips throat
"Not yet, we still need to have a clear opening." Azalea said "I'm not letting you go anymore, not like yesterday" they keep them in check, waiting longer and longer "Besides, we were given orders to attack only after finding out how many of them there were. Petunia is almost done with his letter, we'll move soon enough."
