Chapters Chapter 2: Setting up the Kill
It took Curt a long time to get back to his home in Manehattan, the amount of miles he drove was above almost all else. He parked next to his apartment building, the streets were busy with traffic, so he had to deal with that as well.
He stepped out of his car, a 1959 Cadillac, it was a dark green with classic leather seats. A thing of absolute beauty. Anyway, he walked to the door and opened it, nothing special, he walked up the stairs carrying his big duffel bag which had clothes, and his riffle case, so very heavy.
He was about to fall asleep, because it was about 10 in the evening, and he's been up for more hours than he should have been up. He got up to the 2nd floor of the apartment.
He walked up to the door and knocked, he heard a female say, "Coming!" He waited there for a few moments before the door unlocked and opened.
It was a little pony named Coco Pommel. (You all know her and her place most likely) She said, "Curt!" He got on one knee and hugged her, but before they left each other's arms they had a quick kiss.
"I've been waiting to come back."
She replied, "I've been counting the days, and it was about a week. Oh and I have a nice dinner waiting before we.... Go to bed." She said turning around flipping her tail up showing Curt the 'goods'.
Without hesitation he grabbed his bag up and entered the apartment.
After they ate a beautifully made salad with amazing cake she got at a bakery, they sat at the table, very full from all the food. Curt said, "Well that was damn fine, now how about we retire to bed?"
"I'd love that, but let's wait a minute, I'm very full from dinner."
"Ulgh, fair point Coco."
She asked, "So what did you do during your trip?"
"Well, I helped out a very angry customer, but once it was done, he was very happy and he even gave me a large tip for excellence."
"Wow, you really helped him with his business huh."
"Yep, I sure did. Now you remember when you told me you wanted to get out of the city for awhile, and I said I'll think about it?"
"I do, so?"
"How about a whole week in Canterlot, in a five star hotel, the best restaurants, and all the shopping you can handle, how does that sound?"
"I love it! But is there a catch?"
"Just one, the day after we would arrive, I need to help a customer, so I'll be gone for most of the day until everything settles down."
She sighed, "Alright, if you must. But someday, I want to settle down with you, have a family, you staying around for more than a week at a time."
He got up and hugged her, "In like 2 years or so, we'll be able to retire in absolute style, we'll never have to worry about money again. I love you, more than anything else in Equestria and on Earth."
She smiled before saying, "I love you to, I just want to be around you more."
"I know, in time time that dream will become a reality." She leaned over and started to kiss him, he drove in and kissed right back, before long they were making out, and heading towards the bedroom."
For the next hour or so there were noises that made you wonder what was going on, and whales so loud, it made dogs bark around the city. They even got noise complaints from all the neighbors, but she'll bake some cookies and apologize later.
After that time Curt and Coco were laying in a small, yet very nice bed, both dripping with sweat, Curt's lower body was covered, and part of Coco's lower half was covered to, but a it of side teat showed. "Oh wow, that was fucking amazing." Said Curt.
"Well said, it was.. Fucking amazing." He looked over at her and chuckled a bit. She got on top of him and they started to cuddle, "I love you so much." Said Coco.
All Curt could say was, "I love you too." And they fell asleep.
That morning Curt woke up, seeing his love asleep on top of him, she was absolutely adorable, all the could do was brush her mane with his hand. He said, "I wish I could tell you who I really am." He sighed right before she started to wake up, she yawned and said.
"Good morning Curt, how did you sleep?"
He replied, "Very well, sleeping after sex is very nice."
"I couldn't agree more, now how about I run down and grab us some donuts while you shower?"
"Actually, how about we share a shower, then you get donuts, while I make the bed and make one of my famous pots of coffee?"
"That sounds perfect."
Once they finished the half hour shower, Coco left for donuts, while Curt made the bed, it took him less than 5 minutes the coffee, 30 seconds and it was about ready. So he sat down and pulled out a laptop.
He looked up the name of his target, along with as much information on the guy he can get on Robert Yoki. He got the age, face, and where the perfect spot would be just from his twitter, he also found out that Robert is the lawyer on a giant peace agreement between Earth, and Equestria.
Turns out this guy was a big influence on a law that would be placed, it would make sure all companies gave the same benefits to their employs, along with a fair wage. Curt was impressed by what this guy had done. But it was to late, he accepted the job, and he has to complete it, or die trying.
"I wish I could move on with my life, I'm sick and fucking tired of killing people, I just want to live in peace. But that may never happen, wait, why am I talking to myself out loud?" Just then he heard the door unlock, so he quickly closed all the tabs on the laptop and placed it on the nightstand.
Coco walked in carrying a bag in her mouth, it smelled of freshly baked donuts, Curt ran over and helped.
The food and coffee was set on the table as they sat on the couch, it's seen better days, but it worked. There was a small flat screen TV on the wall, they flipped it on to an Equestrian show, Coco asked Curt.
"So, about that trip to Canterlot."
"Ya?"
"When are we leaving and where are we staying."
He finished chewing his donut hole, he calmly replied, "We're hopefully gonna leave this Friday, and we will be staying at the Continental hotel, the new one."
Her eyes widened, "Oh my, I've wanted to stay there, oh I've heard so many wonderful things about it, but how can you afford it?"
"I have my ways, I work with the Continental on certain issues that I can't say."
"Why not?"
"That's classified in my agreement." There was a small silence before Coco asked.
"Well, today I was gonna finish the costumes for 'My Fair Filly', so Friday works with me." Curt smiled as he took a swig of coffee.
After a long day of Coco finishing up on the costumes, and Curt helping where he could, they packed up, fell asleep. And were now getting ready to go.
Curt's car was fully packed, all that was needed to do was walk out, Coco double checked her costumes, which took a bit of time, but that gave Curt more time to research the Canterlot layout, and he even found the perfect spot, at the right time, to take the shot. Coco asked.
"You ready?"
"Ya babe!" He slid his laptop in a small carrying bag. They locked the apartment and walked down, once they got to Curt's car they drove. It took a couple of hours, but the highway wasn't that bad, once they reached Canterlot Curt looked at the time, it was only 2 in the afternoon, he didn't plan for it to take as short time as it did.
When they drove into the city limits, all the of beauty, glamour, hustle and bustle filled Coco's eyes, she was loving this. He asked, "So, how's it going so far?"
"It's so beautiful, but I'm actually a little bit peckish."
Curt realized that they haven't had lunch yet, so he said, "I know this city, but one of the best eateries, that's decently priced, it cafe De'jorn in the Continental, trust me, the food is to die for, plus I have reservation tonight for the 'Tasty treat'."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go."
Once they reached the Continental, Curt and Coco got out, the valet stared at Curt for a moment before saying, "Welcome back sir." Curt handed the valet his keys, and two doormen got the bags and both of them said.
"Welcome back mister Curt."
The Continental itself was much like the Continental in the movie 'John Wick'. Which was.
(
Curt and Coco entered the luxurious building, the lobby was absolutely stunning, the floor was solid quartz with a nice red carpet leading to the stairs, elevators, and the concierge (the one you talk to to get your room if you didn't know)
There were chairs and tables set up on the right side of the hotel, each was nice comfy leather, the tables were also quartz and they looked like they were coming out of the floor. The concierge desk was rounded with solid spruce wood carved to an almost angelic pattern.
The top part was covered by metal bars with a hole where the concierge could do business. The left had a set of stairs if you didn't want to use the elevators
The hotel had a very nice smell to it, it was lavender mixed with a hint of cinnamon. They walked up to the front desk, it was manned by a slightly older black man, he wore glasses, and had little to no hair, he asked in a very high brow voice.
"Welcome, I believe you booked a week?"
"Yes I did Jhon, and could you make that, a private suite?" Curt slipped him a gold coin, Coco barely noticed.
"For you, anything. Alright, you're room is on the top floor, suite 3."
"Nice, we'll just eat here first, then check out the suite."
"Very well, have a nice day mister Curt."
"You to Jhon." Curt and Coco walked to the right, and headed into the cafe, the maitre d saw Curt and immediately sat them down next to a window, looking out at a very nice street.
They were given water and complementary champagne, the table was very nice, potted flowers, nice leather booths, and it was partly covered with walls separating the different areas.
Coco asked, "So, this is what you do on the business trips?"
"Not always, most of the time I spend just 5 hours here, and that's sleep. The rest of the time I'm working."
"That's another question I have, what do you do?"
He pondered for a moment, "Well, I help with on site checkups, much like a health inspector, but I look at each detail for my client, once I check it all out, I access if it's worthy of Continental business."
She asked, "Well, there are probably a lot of places that want the Continental's business. But a week?"
Just as Curt was about to say something, but a man walked up to the booth, he was wearing a standard black suit with a solid red necktie, he had very fancy dress shoes that were also black. His face was white with green eyes, he had a large, but thin scar down his right cheek.
He said, "Curt? Is that you?"
Curt's eyes grew, "Oh my god! Aks!" Curt got up and the two men hugged each other, "Oh wow, dude, I thought you were retired."
He chuckled, "I was, but retirement can get boring, so once in awhile I like to get up and work a bit."
"Wow, oh where's my manners? This's Coco Pommel, my marefriend. Coco, this is Aks, we go back a long ways." Aks bent down, grabbed Coco's hoof and kissed it.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Ms. Pommel." She replied.
"Oh, how sweet, it certainly is a pleasure." Aks got back up.
"So Aks, how do you know Curt?"
"We went through school together, elementary, middle, and high school, we even picked the same kind of job. And we've work with each other on various projects, which I assume is classified?" Curt nodded. "So Curt, are you here on business, or pleasure?"
"Both, I work tomorrow, but then we have the whole week to do what we want."
Coco asked, "Would you like to join us for a while?"
Aks looked at Curt, he nodded, "Sure, we've been needing to catch up."
After Aks sat down, the appetizers were served, Coco had a small salad, while Aks and Curt had the rolls. Curt asked.
"So, have you been seeing anyone?"
"Actually I've been going out with Ember."
"Who's Ember?"
"The Dragon Lord." Curt and Coco just stared for a little bit, "What?"
"How did you get the dragon lord? She can have way better than you with the wave of the hand."
"A, ouch, and B, she likes me for who I am, but we've been going out for about 4 months, so I'm not ready to give all the job info."
Coco said, "So it's not just Curt, it's you as well?"
"All of us, everyone has to keep it a secret until we know the spouse isn't a threat."
"But Curt and I have been going out for about 8 months, don't you trust me enough?"
Curt looked at Aks with pure anger, he replied, "Of course I do, I just, I was going to tell you once I'm done, and once I get to retirement. Then I don't have to worry, because at anytime, someone could be listening, I can't risk it until I know nothing will happen."
"Well, alright, but I will remember what you said, once you retire, then please tell me, I really want to know."
Aks looked at Curt and said, "Come on dude, she's alright, I know people, and ponies, she's fine, tell her once you're done with this job. Trust me, I would tell Ember, but she might react the wrong way, she's not very keen with the kind of work I do, I could be beheaded for all I know."
"You make a good point, I do trust you Coco, I'm just-" He was interrupted by the waiter carrying their order.
Once they finished eating Coco had to excuse herself for a few moments, leaving Aks and curt to talk shop.
Aks asked, "So, who are you here to kill?"
"Robert Yoki."
"Wow, I hope you're getting paid a lot for this."
"Oh I am, 3 million, I could sense the guy was willing to pay any price to kill this man."
"Well, I'm honestly here just to visit, I'm going to see Princess Celestia and Luna in a couple of days, Ember has a peace meeting with them, so I have to be with her."
"Gotcha, well don't worry, I'm killing the man tomorrow, so you won't be anywhere near that."
"Thank you for warning me, now I know to stay here knowing your aim."
"Excuse me? I have the world's longest shot, I've proven my skill."
"You got lucky."
"I got skills."
"But seriously, glad to know, now I can plan, and they might cancel the meeting, and with that, there will be a big gap in Ember's time and holes that I'm happy to fill."
Curt laughed, "Elgh, dude! But I hope it works out in the end."
"Same for you, and regardless, I'm staying here for about a week as well, here's my number, call if you want to hang out."
"I will, take care man." Aks got up and walked out, Coco walked to the table and asked.
"Where's Aks?"
"He had to leave, he had a meeting he needed to get to."
Once Curt paid, the two left the cafe and walked towards the golden elevators, they rode up all the way to the top floor, where the suites are.
They walked down to room 3, near the end of the hallway, Curt slid the card in the reader and opened the door.
The room was huge, the walls were velvet, the floor was a nice dark red and felt pleasing to the foot, or hoof. The first part of the room had a couch in front near the door, a tv in front of the couch, and a table in front of the couch before the flat screen plasma tv, it had a goody basket with assorted stuff, none of it illegal.
The second part was a bedroom, the room had two openings, though you could see over the bed, it was a round bed with the finest white covers, and a 20,000 dollar mattress, there was a bathroom to the right side of the bed and the whole front of the bed was facing the wide open window, it had a nice view, you could see down it and feel like you are on a cloud.
Coco was astounded, she's never seen a room this nice before, not one she could sleep in at least. "Wow, this place is amazing, this is so beautiful. But how is the bed?"
She walked over to the bed and sat down, she patted the bed and told him, "Come here." He did as instructed, he said.
"Oh we won't have to worry about noise complaints, the walls are sound proof."
"Wait, how do you know."
"That's company business."
Author's Note
Btw, he killed quite a few people in a suite, no sex though. Well thank you for reading, the next chapter will have some action to it, and it will be awesome. I'll see you all in the next chapter, have a good day and/or night.
Chapter 3: Boom, Headshot
After a long night of relentless sex, Curt woke up, the sheets were a mess, stains all over the place, and Coco sleeping next to him laying on his right arm, her hair was messed up, and her collar was on the floor.
Curt quietly and skillfully slid his arm out and got up, he took a quick shower, and he got his sniper riffle. He looked at Coco, she was still asleep, all he could think was.
"Damn, I'm good." He wrote her a quick note saying he had to go work and would be back around lunch, it was about 6:30 now. He walked out of the room and walked out of the Continental.
He got his car and drove off to the castle, he stopped at a small motel nearby and walked in, it was what you'd expect from a roach motel, there was an elderly mare behind the counter, Curt rang the bell and she turned around.
"Hello, welcome to the Princess Palace."
"Hello, I had a reservation for a room, under Curt." She looked on her list and replied.
"There you are, I have you for 5 hours?"
"Yes."
"You do realize you'll be paying for one night right?"
"I do."
"Well, alright, here's your key, have a good 5 hours." He nodded and walked up the long flight of stairs. he got to the top floor, he entered his room, it was just a bed with a couple of standard items inside. Plus he saw a bug crawl on the floor.
"Well, I've slept at worse places." He opened the window, there he had the perfect shot for the front gate, he pulled up a chair, turned on his radio to.
He assembled his riffle and sat down. He got comfortable.
For the next 20 minutes he stared out, waiting for mister Yoki. He was there for about 3 hours. Until he saw a black car drive up to the entrance of the castle, Curt readied his riffle, he aimed down the scope, and out came Yoki.
The only thing he could see was his hair, but it was very custom, and very noticeable in a crowd. The princesses were also out, greeting him, all he could think was, "This will get ugly."
He aimed for a moment before he took a deep breath in.
He waited a moment and breathed out, he pulled the trigger, BANG . Yoki fell down and Curt saw blood pouring out of his head, but nothing was on the princesses thankfully. Confirmed kill, he was so far away that none of the guards heard the shot, about .4 miles away.
Curt packed his riffle up, turned off the radio (turn the song off) and he walked out of the room. As he was passing the front desk the lady said, "Have a good day, and don't worry, I won't tell." She winked at him.
He looked at her for a second before leaving. He got out of that street right before a bunch of royal guards stormed all the buildings.
Curt got back to the hotel, Aks waved at him in the lobby, "Hey dude, how did it go?"
"In one word, perfectly, the police stormed the place moments after I got off of that street, and out of their view."
"You lucked out my friend, you lucked out."
"Ya, but now I'm gonna go to my room and have sex with what is the hottest pony I've ever met."
"I didn't check her out after you told me she was your marefriend, but how did you get her?"
Curt chuckled, "I could ask the same question about Ember now couldn't I."
"Heh, fair point, well I'll leave you to it, have a good day, don't get a floppy disk."
"Ha, it has never happened, and it never will."
Curt walked to the elevator and entered, he started to go up to the top floor, but when he reached it, the doors didn't open, he pushed the help button multiple times, but it wouldn't open. The small phone inside the elevator rang, Curt said, "Hello?"
Jhon replied, "This is the front desk, what is the matter with the elevator?"
"Well it won't ope- AAAHHHHHHH!!" The line went dead, Jhon looked at the phone for a moment, until he heard a loud BANG , he looked at the elevator fell down, he ran out along with a couple Continental security and Aks. Aks said.
"No, no, no, NO!" There was a small silence before Curt said.
"The elevator is, ow, busted, could someone get me the hell out of here already?!" The elevator doors opened on the second floor and Curt was lying on top of the elevator with quite a bit of blood from his head, but still alive.
One minute ago:
Curt was in the elevator, the doors wouldn't open, the phone rang and Jhon said, "Hello, this is the front desk, what is the matter with the elevator?"
"Well, it won't ope-AAAAAHHHHHH!!!" The elevator started to fall down with Curt inside, he was flung to the ceiling, he fought through the fear and thought, "Okay, what can I do?" He looked next to him at the emergence exit, it was his only chance, he undid the latch and the door flung open.
Curt jumped out and grabbed one of the cables, he looked down only to see the elevator hit the ground floor was a large boom. He thought he was safe for a moment, until the cable broke and fell, causing Curt to fall 4 stories, hitting the the top of the elevator, head first.
He lost almost passed out, but his overwhelming luck kept him conscience, he heard some voices along with Aks, Curt said, "The elevator is, ow, busted, could someone get me the hell out of here already?"
After a small rescue, Curt was lying down in the lobby, bandages wrapped around his head, and he had a glass of scotch in his hand, he took a swig before he asked, "So, what the fuck happened Jhon?"
"I'm sorry sir, but we have no idea who caused it. We looked at the cables and turns out it was sabotaged, he was probably wearing a mask, but we'll know soon enough, we always find out who it was."
"Great, great, now let me get to my room, I just want to see Coco."
Aks said, "Let me help you dude, that was a pretty big hit you took." He put Curt's right arm over his shoulder and carried him to the other elevator, Aks asked, "You sure this one's safe?"
"Yes, my men just checked it."
Aks nodded and entered. After a long and quite scary elevator ride, along with Curt losing conscience every now and then for a few moments, they finally made it up to the top floor.
"It might not have been smart to get the suite huh Aks?"
"Heh, I guess it wasn't." He got Curt to his door and opened it for him. Aks expected Coco to come and greet them, but there was pure silence.
"Wait here Curt." Curt leaned on the door frame, Aks took out his silenced pistol and checked the room, he saw nothing beside a note on the bed, it wasn't from Curt, so Aks walked over and said, "Um dude, I just read this note, and before you read it, let me get to the other side of the hall please."
He ran out of the room as Curt opened the letter, it said.
"Mister Curt, I'm sorry, but we do not wish to pay for your services, we'll be taking your marefriend as a hostage, you come after us, we kill her, understand?
Mister Shadow ."
Curt screamed, "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKK, THAT MOTHERFUCKER TOOK MY MAREFRIEND! HIM AND EVERYONE HE'S EVER LOVED, MET, AND WORKED FOR WILL BE KILLED AND THEIR HEADS WILL BE MAILED TO THEIR LOVED ONES!!!!" Curt took some deep breaths in as Aks walked back up.
"Shit dude, I'm sorry, if I knew, I would have-"
"Don't, just get me up, I'll take care of them, and now I'm gonna lodge the biggest complaint the Continental has ever seen."
After yelling at Jhon and anyone who tried to calm him down for over an hour, Jhon simply replied, "Our men are doing everything they can, once this is all taken care of, you will be greatly compensated for the trouble, and honestly. I think that scamming an assassin was a truly stupid move. the ones who carried this out will be, executed."
"Just one thing."
"Yes?"
"I want to kill everyone who did this, once you find out who did it, tell me, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Not without me." Curt looked at Aks.
"No, I need to do this."
"Dude, you're a sniper, you kill people afar, but you need some help if you go in to middle to close combat, which is where I shine. I'm staying here for the next week anyway, Ember's going through her period, yikes."
"Charming, but alright, you may tag along, I need to get some fucking sleep, inform me when you find Coco, I'll be taking the world's longest nap." Curt walked away.
Aks said, "Please find them as soon as you can, I know him when he's angry, you don't want him angry at you. Trust me, a guy picked on him in 3rd grade and he literally took him out to the alleyway and well, took his anger out. To this day, I don't know where Curt buried him."
Jhon gulped before saying, "I'm getting right on it, please wait." Aks went to the bar leaving Jhon, he mumbled, "This is gonna be a long night."
Author's Note
Yes these chapters are pretty much pre-wrote, but I still proofread before I publish, hope you all enjoyed and tell me what you all think of the story so far. Thank you for reading and have a good day and/or night.
Chapter 4: Time to strike
Aks and Curt waited in the hotel for about 2 days, Curt is rested and was feeling a lot better, but he was still worried. Aks had been trying to cheer him up, but after awhile he knew the only thing that would cheer Curt up would be getting Coco back.
They were sitting in the bar, on the table sat two glasses, one was a glass of scotch, Curt's favorite drink, and a coke in front of Aks. Curt asked.
"Dude, why aren't you drinking a real drink, like bourbon?"
"Because I'm quitting."
"You don't quit, you were always half bombed, what happened?"
"Well, You remember Amy right?"
"Barely, I did one mission with her and ate dinner with you two once, but that's it."
"Well, we also had that free for all in Mexico, you know, when we woke up next to-"
"HEY! Aks, we don't talk about it, what happened in Mexico, stays in Mexico, and we swore to take that to the grave."
"Right sorry." Aks finished his drink. "But it turns out that Amy has my son." Curt dropped his glass.
"What?" He just stared at Aks.
"Well, one time we were put in a cell naked, you know, to make sure we weren't hiding anything. Well we kinda got busy for those two weeks."
"Oh my god, so that's why she's been gone."
"Ya, well I'm going to see him soon and I didn't want to smell like booze. I want to become a good role model."
"You? Ya, probably. So, do you think Coco's alright?"
"Oh my god dude, she's fine. I know these kinds of people, they wouldn't hurt her, because if they do, they will all die screaming."
"Ya, I was really good at torture, I've hurt a lot of people over the years."
"Ya, do you remember the time you made someone hurt so much, they were in complete pleasure?"
"Not really, I think I was pretty tanked when it happened."
"Oh, well, I've always wondered, what did you do to Sammy Sparks in the 3rd grade?"
"Well, what do you think happened?" Asked Curt.
"I think you buried him under that old cedar tree in the park."
Curt laughed, "Wrong, I shot him in the head with my Dad's hunting riffle and chopped him into 5 pieces, which I took on a trip to Vermont, each part was buried in various locations there."
"Damn, that's why there were so many places he could have been."
"I know what you're doing Aks, and it's nice and all, but I still need to know if she's alright, and I need to get her back. No matter what she thinks of me after this, I have to see her, one last time."
Just then Jhon walked up to them and said, "Greetings sir, we have found where your marefriend, she is being held, at a warehouse just outside of Canterlot."
Aks said, "I think I remember a warehouse coming into Canterlot."
"So do I, come on Aks, let's get ourselves a pony."
They walked out of the Continental, Aks had two silenced pistols, along with a couple of flash bangs, and a combat knife. Curt had a duffle bag with his Barrett 812, two silenced mp5s, and a lot of grenades. They got into Aks's rental, it was a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7, it was jet black, perfect for what they had in mind.
On the way there Aks asked, "So, do you have a plan?"
Curt cocked his mp5 and replied, "I snipe all the exterior guards, you bust in, kill most of them, help snipe when I can. Then I come in and we find her."
"Great fucking plan." Said Aks.
"And when we find her, I'll reveal my true life, who I really am."
Once they reached the small warehouse, they parked a mile away, Curt got himself on a tree, the warehouse was well hidden in a small forest. Curt checked the area and said over their bluetooth, "6 guards, I can kill them all now."
"Do it." Curt cocked his riffle and steadied himself, he breathed in and said, "Payback." He breathed out and fired a shot at a guard pissing in a corner, no one saw, nor heard the guard.
Curt fired two more shots at the two guards in front of the gate, he took a breath before killing a guard leaning against a car. There were two guards left, Curt waited until they walked into his line of vision, he fired two quick shots and killed both of them. He reloaded and said.
"Clear, move in Aks." Aks took out a pistol and entered the facility. Curt watched through a window as Aks killed wave after wave of goons, One was about to flank around Aks, but Curt shot him in the head.
Aks said, "Come on it, it's open." Curt jumped out of his tree and grabbed the mp5s and charged in. There were easily 20 dead goons, "Not bad." Said Curt, they waved through the maze of boxes, always watchful for any goons. It was to quiet, they reached a heavy metal door with no guards.
"It's to easy."
"I think you killed most of the guards, the rest are most likely behind that door."
"Good point Curt." Aks ran over to the small, but heavy metal door, he grabbed the handle and opened it, as soon as it opened 5 guards opened fire, Curt hid behind a crate, and Aks hid behind the door. Aks pulled the pin and threw a flash bang inside, they turned away and it went off.
Curt masterly shot each of the blinded guards in the head, "Nice shooting Tex." Said Aks, Curt nodded and they entered, it was a long, dark hallway with one light at the very end. This kept them ready for anything.
But nothing, it was very lightly guarded, which worried them even more. Once they reached the end Aks opened the door and Curt rolled in with him mp5s ready, there was a man wearing a gray suit, he was mostly bald, he wore glasses, and he had a gun to Coco's head.
She was tied up with a gag in her mouth, she was also in tears from the fear, Curt said, "Let her go now or I'll rip your nuts off and make you choke on them! Coco, it'll be alright, I will get you out of here."
The man said, "I will let her live once I get out of here."
Curt recognized the voice, "You, you're mister Shadow!"
"Why yes I am, now then, let me leave and I'll let your little bitch gets shot in th-" Curt fired a round into the man's head, he fell to the floor dead.
"You fired?!" Shouted Aks.
"I looked at the gun, his safety was on."
"That's just, wow. Dumbass."
"There's one less of him in the world now, thank god for that." Curt went over and took the gag out of Coco's mouth, she couldn't say anything, she just froze, he undid her legs and she leaped in for a hug.
Curt carried her out of the warehouse, and Aks drove off with them.
When they reached Canterlot, Coco asked, "How did you find me?"
"The Continental, they hate people doing business on their property, so they gave me your location, and well, we came and saved you."
"How did you get through all of those guards?"
"Coco, it's time you knew who I really was, and what I do for a living."

Chapter 5: Falling action
Once they reached the hotel, Coco and Curt went up to their room so Curt could explain who he really was. Aks decided to sit at the bar and get hammered, he was really missing Ember, all he wanted to do was be with her, but he also knew Curt would need him a bit longer.
Curt explained what he did, how he knew everything, what this world was, and any other questions she had about him. One was if he would ever kill her for money, he of course said he wouldn't.
He also told her about Aks and some of what he did. Plus the elevator incident. After an hour they were still sitting on the bed, Coco was still having to process what happened, and what he was. Curt said.
"I know I may seem dangerous, and if you don't wanna be around an assassin, then I will leave you alone, never bother you again, and I would never target you. I'm sorry, but take some time and think, no matter what you decide, I will abide by it."
Curt got up and was about to leave, until Coco said, "Wait!" Curt turned around, "I'm still needing sometime to, truly accept who you are, and it is scary being with an assassin. But I still love you, and you came after me, you fought what seemed like an army to get to me.
I still want to be around you, and I want to be with you, it's just a lot to take in. But I can accept it, and at least I finally know the truth." Curt came back to the bed and sat down next to her, she hugged him and he hugged her back, "You saved my life, I can never repay that, but I think I know how to start."
She tapped the bed and unzipped his pants, he said, "Oh hell ya!"
After ANOTHER 2 hours, Curt and Coco came down, they entered the little cafe, there they saw Curt, he was at a corner booth drinking a glass of bourbon with a small plate of rolls in front of him.
Curt went over to sit down while Coco went and washed up a bit. "Hey dude, so how did it go with Coco?"
Curt calmly replied, "It went almost to well, it'll take some time for her to truly grasp and accept my life, but she was very open to it, but that might have also been from saving her life, so that may have influenced her decision."
Aks replied, "Wow, again, you're one lucky bastard, I'm just glad it all worked out in the end, and you two still have 4 days to hang around and enjoy Canterlot."
"Oh we will, she'll buy everything she wants, and during the night my reward will be taking that stuff off with my teeth."
"Dude, gross. But doing that is always fun." Coco walked up and sat next to Curt, she said.
"This has been one crazy vacation so far, but let's just have a nice, calm and normal lunch, shall we?" They nodded.
So after 4 days of shopping, dining, and various shows, it had finally ended, they were packing up their bags and heading out.
The bags were in the car, they were at the front desk, Coco decided to head out and wait at the car while curt settled up on payment.
Curt said, "So, what'd I owe ya?"
Jhon replied, "After our little incident, your tab has been cleared, and once you get back, there will be a couple of gifts, courtesy of management."
"Well, tell them I say thank you, and that this little incident will not damper my thoughts of the Continental nor any services that were provided."
"I most certainly will, have a good day mister Curt."
"You to Jhon."
After a long flight, and leaving of the airport, Curt and Coco finally reached their home. Curt grabbed the bags and closed the door, they walked to the door, but behind it was muffled noises. And the door was unlocked.
Curt stepped up and opened the door expecting an attack. But it turned out to be two men sitting on the little couch, one was tied up with only a pair of underpants on, the other was wearing a suit under his trench coat, he also wore sunglasses. He said,
"Greetings mister Curt, miss Pommel, I come on behalf of management, this's the man who set up the elevator incident, we were gonna kill him, but we thought it would be a nice present. There are also a couple of gifts in the bedroom, once you're done with him, just call the cleaners, we will pay them for cleanup. I wish you two a good night."
Curt replied, "Thank you, good night sir." He bowed a bit and left the apartment without another word.
"So, this is the man who set up that elevator incident huh?"
"Yep, this shit-stain is the one. I'll deal with him later, for now I'll put him in the trunk, then take him to my torture space."
"You have a torture space?"
"Well, it's just a storage locker with very thick walls, but... Ya." Curt dragged the man to the trunk, "I'll take him tomorrow, I'm bushed."
Curt took the man and shoved him into the trunk. Once that was done he returned, Coco was in about the same spot, "So, let's check out the bedroom." Said Coco, she was already getting used to this which impressed Curt immensely.
They walked in and saw three gifts on the bed, one was labeled for Curt, the second for Coco, and the third was for both. "You open yours first Coco, then I'll open mine."
"Alright, let's hope it isn't as bad as the first present." She opened the small box, and inside was a small spool of thread, there was also a note, it said,
"Ms. Coco Pommel, this thread is made out of very enchanted fabric, which with a simple needle, can make any article of clothing you so choose. Use it as much as you want, it never ends.
Sincerely management ."
"Wow, I've always wanted this thread, but I didn't think it existed."
"Wow, that's really cool, now what did I get?" Curt looked at the small envelope, he ripped it open and inside was a letter, it read.
"Dear mister Curt Furi, this letter is to inform you that you will be able to get any suite you wish, and all expenses with the Continental and it's partners will be rendered free for life. We hope to have you here again soon.
Sincerely management ."
"Holy crap! This is amazing! I can stay all I want, at any suite I want without booking it in advanced."
"Wow, what about the gift addressed to the two of us?" They looked at the decently large box, Curt took the ribbon off of it and opened it. He pulled out a potion in a small bottle with two shot glasses. It had a tag which described what it was.
"Make your love life the best, drink one glass and feel love like never before. For men it will make the dick increase in size depending upon your partner for optimum sex. And for ladies, it will make you wetter, and it will triple the sensation of your lover's appendages. Using this with your spouse will make both effects happen, and it will never ware off. "
"Damn! I've heard of this stuff, I heard that a drop can come up to about 2 million easily. But it's Continental, they get what they want, whenever they want it."
"Whoa, so do you wanna... Try it to see if it works?" Asked Coco, Curt smiled devilishly.
The rest of the night, and for the next few weeks, they lived happily ever after. That is until, nah,I don't want to reveal any spoilers.

Chapter 1: Curt is hurtin'
In a very dark and cold office, all the way in New York City, was a man, this man was the CEO of Heffle corp. One of the biggest corporations on Earth, the office was almost pitch black, except for an overhead light in the center of the room where a man in a suit was standing. Sweat poured off of him, he was about 35, partly bald, with a folder under his right arm.
At the big, dark desk sat the CEO himself, darkness covered his face, all that could be seen was a silhouette. He said in a very deep voice, much like Darth Vader, except less cool, "So, what are we gonna do about our my little problem?"
The quivering man replied, "Um sir, I think I f-found a solution."
"What is it?" He asked calmly.
"I've been looking at some.... Assassins, and I've compiled a list of the top 10 I could find."
"Hmm, why not send one of our troops?"
"With an assassin, no one will know who sent him, these guys don't talk, and if they do, we can deny it without any concern."
"Excellent, now who's the best out of them all?"
"Well, it took a couple of hours to find info on this guy, but it was worth it, I guarantee it sir."
"Who is it?"
"Oh, um, right, yes sir. His name is Curt, he's a sniper, he has never served in the military, but his track record is one I've never seen before. This man is only 23, and has a grand total of 157 confirmed kills, how many people he's been paid to kill however is unknown. I couldn't find anything on that."
"Impressive, I'm liking this guy already. Tell me more."
"Right, I found out from various sources that he has the worlds longest shot of exactly 1.2 miles. It was the shot that killed the Baron."
"That guy? That guy was the CEO here before I took over."
"And no, we've never hired him."
The CEO sat up, "How did this guy get so good?"
"Well, he came from a farm, it was almost entirely mechanical, so that gave him a lot of time to target practice. He even hunted for awhile so he can move like the wind. But one thing that I found disturbing was the fact he has one eye."
"Hmm."
"I don't know the exact story, but some say he was in a sniper battle, he won, but the bullet got lodged in his eye."
"Fucking hell."
"So he doesn't have to worry about that eye, allowing him to focus more on the target."
The CEO was very impressed, he asked, "So why have we not hired him yet?"
"Ya, that's the thing that got me worried, his price is above almost any other sniper, but with him you pay the most, and you get the best."
"I want him, he sounds like the guy we need, but I'm not paying a sniper. Find something he loves and take it, we won't have to pay him ,and with the collateral, he'll do whatever we wish."
"Um, yes sir, I'll get on that, I found his number."
"Good, be off then." The man walked out of the office as the CEO started an evil laugh.
(Play this music to get the whole feeling of this scene.)
At the same time, in a construction yard somewhere in Utah, was a man he was lying in prone position with a Barrett M82, he was lying in an unfinished office complex, he was aiming at a small motel off the side of the road about .3 miles away. The man was Curt, he had a small AM/FM radio next to him playing the song I asked you to listen to. He was about 5 foot 11, long brown hair, and a blue eye. He was wearing solid black clothing as to hide himself.
He also had a monitor next to him, it had a woman giving a guy a blowjob on a motel mattress. He looked at the monitor periodically. It was from the motel room he was aiming at, suddenly he got a call on his ear piece.
He pushed the button and he asked with a pretty manly tone, "Hello Curt speaking."
A man replied, "Hello Curt."
"Oh god, I will call you when the job is done already, I got my sights on them now."
"I know, I'm watching the live feed from that camera you installed. But why haven't you killed her yet?"
"You asked me to kill her for a 500 thousand, and another 500 thousand to shoot his dick off. Well since she's sucking him off right now I was gonna wait for the right moment, right before he cums."
"Wow, that's evil, alright, you do that I'll throw in another 10 thousand."
"Thank you sir, oh here he comes." He turned off the radio (Turn the song off) And looked down his scope. He waited a moment before, BANG! He looked at the screen and the bullet went right through her head and right through the guys 'little' head, basically exploding it.
"Ha! I love it, that was quality my good man." The man was screaming and rolling around everywhere.
"So, do you want me to put him out of his misery?"
"Nah, just let him suffer."
"Very well sir." Curt started to pack up, taking his riffle apart and placing it into it's case. He got up and the man said.
"I cannot thank you enough, that bitch cheated on me and she paid for it. The money has been sent to your account. And if I meet another bitch, I'll call you first."
"I appreciate that sir, have a good evening." Curt hung up and turned around, ready to leave, showing the eye patch covering his left eye. He received another call, he sighed and said.
"Good evening, Curt speaking."
The same man from the first part of the chapter said, "Hello, I have a job for you mister Curt."
"Wow," He rolled his eyes, "I thought you were my service provider."
"Ha ha, you want the job or not?"
"Depends sir, what"s the job?"
"I need you to kill a mister Robert Yoki, he poses a major threat to my business interests. And price is no concern."
Curt thought for a moment and asked, "So, where is this guy, and what do you want me to call you, I need to be able to have a name so I know whom I'm working for, or else I call the wrong people and tell them the job's done."
"Alright, call me.... Shadow."
"Pbttthh, HA HA HA! Shadow? Ha ha ha!" He fell on the floor laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Shadow is the name everyone first thinks of, it's kinda become a stereotype with my customers." The rest couldn't be heard over his laughter. Shadow was starting to get a bit angry.
"Do you want my business?"
"Ya, sorry, that was just funny, sorry, continue."
"He will be in Canterlot for a couple of days to meet up with princess Celestia and princess Luna."
"So he's a government official?"
"Yes he is mister Curt."
"That will double the price, that puts a government bounty on my head, so I needs to get paid more than usual for that."
"Alright, I shall take care of the rest, he will be dead by the end of the week."
"What about the price?"
"If you gotta ask, it's to much, but it will come to 3 million."
"I'm not paying half now."
"I never ask of that, it's to cliche to be a thing, no, it gets transferred to a small account once the job is done."
There was a small silence, "Oh, alright mister Curt, as soon as he dies, I'll transfer the money."
"Done, have a good day mister Shadow." Curt hung up and walked to his car, it was a compact rental car, a red 2020 ford focus.
He put all the items in the trunk and he said, "Alright, time to get home."
