It is possible that someone is deliberately sabotaging his jobs, Nino thinks about this seriously, even when he supposed he shouldn’t, at least not now when he is trying to stay alive, running with all his might and throwing himself out the nearest fire exit, cursing the universe (and possibly Sho) as the sounds of explosion follows him.

Nino! Nino! What the fuck just happened? Are you alright, god damn it, answer me!

Nino groans and tries not to imagine exactly where he landed but judging with the foul smell being the first thing he notices, it’s not that hard to guess.

“Fucking hell,” he curses as he shifts his body sideways, slowly, checking himself for injuries he might not aware he suffered when he landed. Aside from the light throbbing on his right shoulder - possibly the result of the impact when he threw himself out of the fire exit - he seems generally okay.

He hopes so.

Nino! Oh my god, are you dead?! Sho screams in his ear and Nino feels like yelling in return. God, his handler is seriously annoying when he wants to be.

“Not dead but you almost rendered me permanently deaf with your screaming, Sho-chan,” he says, pulling himself upright and grimacing at the indescribable mess clinging to his pants. He is pretty sure his shirt suffered the same fate, but for the sake of his sanity, he doesn’t dare check it.

Oh, thank god, Sho breathes a sigh of relief and Nino wishes he could share the same sentiment, but it’s difficult when he looks (and honestly, smells) terrible. He crouches to grab his gun, and the only other thing he was able to snatch from the room he is supposed to be raiding before the explosion - a CD - then promptly makes his way out of the dumpster, muttering to himself.

“Sho-chan, I need you to tell me something,” he says, panting, as he levers himself out of the stinky dumpster.

What is it?

Nino made sure that the vicinity around him is clear before he moves swiftly, heading straight to the shadowed corner of the building he just jumped from, thoughts running through his head.

“This is the third time this happened, Sho-chan,” he says; he reaches the darkened corner and allows himself to breathe for a few seconds before he decides to move again. He’s not in any position to slack, or stay still in one place, not when it is obvious that his location had been compromised.

“And if you don’t tell me what’s going on, I swear to you that the next job you will throw at me might be my last.” He says.

It takes Sho quite a long moment to answer.

I’m not so sure about it myself, Nino, I swear, Sho says, sounding genuinely confused and worried; Nino wants to believe him, he really do, but it’s difficult when it’s been three times now that he had to fight hard in order to stay alive doing a job that is supposed to be like a walk in the park for the likes of him.

And honestly, it is starting to annoy the shit out of him.

“Well, then I guess it’s time for you to do what you’re always been good at, and find out who in hell is messing with us so I can fucking do something about it.” he says, making sure that the CD is secured before he tiptoes his way around the building.

Wait, you think someone is behind all these? That everything’s been done purposely? Nino?

Nino smirks; his handler sure hasn’t seen the worst of it all yet, obviously.

“Sho-chan, you know how I managed to leave that room about twenty seconds before the explosion?” he asks, letting his eyes adjust in the dark.

Eh, what do you mean? I thought you found the explosive while you were searching the room -

“No,” he cuts in, “I saw Nagase walking out of the building when I accidentally looked down the window, Sho-chan. Nagase fucking Tomoya was in the building… was probably in the same room I went in to plant the explosives before I arrived,” he says through tightly gritted teeth. “Seriously, this is getting completely out of hand and I honestly want to know what we’ve done and who we accidentally pissed to be treated this way, Sho-chan.” He pauses here, already aware of the sudden silence from the other end.

Sho remained quiet and for once, Nino isn’t glad for it because they both know what this means. Someone is stabbing them in the back and they honestly don’t know what they did to deserve it.

“So please do me a favor and find out what or who we’re dealing with before I end up dead in a ditch, okay?”

A beat.

I will, Sho says, sounding determined and very, very angry.

Nino sighs. “See you in two days, then, Sho-chan.” He says and hangs up.

It takes a moment for Ohno to spot Nino in the dark and when he did, he swears his sigh of relief is staggering.

In his ear, Jun is pissed.

You could have killed him yourself when you had the chance, Satoshi!... see, not even Nagase is good enough to kill that asshole.

“Jun -“

You were on their list!, Jun half-screams and Ohno feels like screaming too. He’s going to figure out it’s you anyway, so why not kill him before he finds out?

“The hit has been cancelled, I’m sure you’ve been informed about this already. I was there too when they cancelled it, so I know.” he says; that certainly is the right thing to say because it immediately shut Jun up. “The hit was just a ploy to distract someone else, we all know this, so -“ he pauses, breathing air back into his lungs and watching Nino disappear into the shadows.

“Why are you still ordering our agents to go after Nino?” he asks, deliberate and straight to the point.

Somehow, he’s not at all surprised to realize that Jun has already hung up on him.
