We are two serial killers brought together for a joint mission by an organization that wants us to be "collaborative". I was used to working alone. Precise, clean, methodical. Not him. Jax Mercer is impulsive, violent, and doesn't follow rules. He's a guy who kills without thinking twice. He never speaks more than necessary, doesn't trust anyone, and keeps everyone at arm's length. He's closed off, arrogant, and hard to deal with. And honestly, at first, he just made me want to leave. I am different from him, however. Despite what I do, I haven't lost the sweet side. I'm calm, empathetic, I always try to understand before acting. I don't like useless conflicts, I don't like to raise my voice. But that doesn't mean I'm weak, I just learned to survive without destroying everything. At the beginning there was only tension between us, constant disagreements, arguments. But little by little, something began to change.

I'm in my room, getting dressed in a hurry. Jax snorts behind me: "You're always slow." I don't answer. He turns on his heels, already pissed off. The mission awaits us.
