Blue: Chapter 3
Clyde followed Gold as they made their way towards the weapons cache. He never really admitted it, but he thought Gold was actually pretty nice, a lot nicer than Black at least...
"We're here." Gold said suddenly. Clyde looked up to see Gold take two hunting knives off the wall. "Because this is your first mission, we'll use knives instead of guns. They're easier to handle and much quieter, not to mention safer." Gold suddenly whirled around and threw the knife at Clyde. Clyde caught it effortlessly and put it within the sheath he kept on his belt. Gold continued on, picking up an envelope, "Intel says that the address is somewhere uptown, this carries a description of the target as well in case we forget. According to this, we don't need to make the murder high profile. This is going to be nice and quiet. Once we're done, we are to report back here. Got it, Blue?"
"Y-yeah." Clyde answered quickly. Gold gave Clyde a small smile and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, everyone gets nervous their first time. You'll be fine." Clyde was shocked. Gold never tried to comfort people. "T-thanks Gold." Clyde looked at the ground and blushed. Gold moved suddenly, going over to the door. His smile fading completely by the time he got there.
"C'mon, our ride's waiting for us." Clyde followed him meekly.

Shaf slowly opened his eyes, still weak from blood loss. It was then that the pain hit him. He groaned weakly, causing Gray to wake up. The rabbit had sat by him all through the day and had stayed up as long as he could. In all that time this was the first time the bear had done anything. Gray moved closer to Black as the bear groaned again.
"Black?"
"G-Gray?" The bear asked weakly "I can't move." Gray petted the bear on the head, soothing him.
"Try to relax," he said, his eyes filling with tears of relief "you're still to weak to do anything." The bear groaned again, closing his eyes against the pain. "Shhhh." Gray soothed as he petted the bear.
"G-Gray?" The bear moaned, close to falling asleep.
"Yeah?" The bunny replied softly.
"I-I love you." Black drifted back to sleep. A fresh wave of tears filled Gray's eyes.
"I love you too." He whispered to the now unconscious bear.
~~AB~~
Clyde and Gold slowly walked up the stairs of the apartment complex, nearing their targets room step by step. They entered the hall silently, careful not to alert the sleeping tenants to their presence. Suddenly, a light blinked on their comms. This was their signal to get somewhere where they could talk freely. They ducked into a bathroom.
"Gold? Gold, come in." Vio's voice came out of the speaker
"I'm listening." Gold replied.
"Red has new orders for you, you're to bring the target in alive for questioning."
"What?!" Gold asked incredulously
"Don't yell at me!" Vio replied back sharply "If you've got a problem take it up with Red. Otherwise, get back to work." The comms once again went dead. Gold sighed.
"C'mon Blue, let's just get this over with." They made their way back into the hall and slowly approached the target's door. The light was on. "Looks like he was expecting us." Gold growled quietly. There was no point in sneaking in anymore, so Gold knocked on the door softly.
Dylan had been waiting up for them when the knock came. He knew why they were there, and it wasn't like he could've stopped them. He sighed and walked over to the door, opening it.
"Look-" Gold covered the rabbit's mouth with his paw and stepped into the room, Clyde following hesitantly.
"Anyone else here?" Gold asked. Dylan shook his head and looked down. "Good." Gold grunted "Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. It's your choice, but either way, you're coming with us."
"W-what?" Dylan blinked in surprise "I thought you came here to kill me."
"We did." Gold said, glancing over at him "But we have last minute orders to bring you in. So, what's it gonna be? Easy or hard?"
"I-I'll come." Dylan said, looking down. Clyde was still in shock from seeing Dylan. The rabbit couldn't be much older than 17.
"Good." Gold repeated, before knocking Dylan out with one hit. He picked up the unconscious rabbit and turned to leave.
"Are all of them so hopeless?" Clyde asked suddenly.
"No, most of them at least try to fight back. Though, I'm glad this one didn't. He's younger than usual."
"Oh." Clyde replied simply. Gold opened the door, and they left.
