Hunter

Glancing up from the disassembled weapon on the table, Hunter gave Seven a quick smile.

He found Seven’s earlier efforts to confirm a commitment between them endearing. And although it hadn’t been spelled out, Hunter knew Seven wanted a relationship with him. The guy just seemed out of his element and Hunter was going to make him sweat a little bit.

He smirked when Seven settled in the chair across from him at the small table for two inside their unit. Running the microfiber cloth over the firing pin before selecting another piece to clean, he glanced up.

“So, did you ever work for Solomon?”

Hunter nodded, even though ‘work for’ wasn’t exactly correct. Assassins didn’t report to anyone, they took jobs or didn’t when the head of Erebus reached out. They had a code they agreed to and followed when they joined, but other than that, there was usually zero contact between them.

“Solomon came on board about a year before I left,” Hunter said, but he was reminded that he really didn’t know that much about the man. “Before Solomon, it was Malcolm.”

“Malcolm?” Seven looked surprised.

“Yeah,” Hunter said with a wry smile. “Malcolm was in charge of Erebus way before Solomon got hired.” He continued cleaning and wiping the weapon pieces before he set the cloth aside and began assembling it back together.

“Did you get along with Solomon?”

“Yeah, I didn’t see him much, but I didn’t have any problems with him. It was Malcolm who’d trained me, so…” Hunter shrugged. “Solomon wasn’t my jam.”

“What do you mean, your jam?” Humor swam in Seven’s eyes, making Hunter smile.

“Solomon offered jobs that I questioned.” Hunter paused, holding the assembled gun.

“Like jobs Malcolm is accused of taking?”

“No, not quite contract-killing jobs, but some of the marks didn’t seem to have been investigated enough.”

“Did you ever tell Dave about Solomon’s questionable jobs?”

“I did. Dave had a lot on his plate back then.”

“Ten years ago would have been around the time of ISIS and the war in Iraq.”

“That’s correct. I know Dave offered Solomon a lot of money to take a contract in Iraq.” Hunter lifted the cloth to polish his weapon.

“So, Dave figured he’d get Solomon out of the country and maybe he wouldn’t come back?” Seven smirked when Hunter shot him a surprised look. “What? I can think like an assassin if I need to.”

“Please don’t.”

Seven searched his eyes for a long moment and then slowly nodded. “Deal.”

Once Hunter was done with the cloth, Seven picked it up and began moving it over the Glock he’d pulled from his shoulder holster. It was a nice 9-millimeter that Hunter had envied.

“So, how does it work?” Seven said.

“What do you mean?”

“You all seem to have moral principles.” Seven gestured with his free hand. “Like a rule of conduct.”

“We had to sign Dave’s code of ethics agreement before we took any jobs.”

“Do you think that Malcolm did what Solomon said he did?”

“Well, Solomon didn’t really say Malcolm did anything. Theo overheard the talk about Malcolm from an outside source
