"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe," Gemini muttered, his finger dancing between the sniper rifle and the poison-tipped darts. "Catch a target by the toe. If they holler... well, they won't get the chance." He snickered at his own joke, then grimaced. Focus, idiot.
The dossier on his mark lay open beside him. Truthfully, Gemini was struggling to concentrate on the task at hand. His mind kept wandering to the irony of the situation—being hired by someone's best friend to take them out. Talk about trust issues.
"I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid," he muttered, his go-to phrase when feeling uncertain. "This job's gonna be a real friend-raiser." He chuckled nervously at his pun, then immediately regretted it. What kind of hardened assassin makes dad jokes?

"One 'Death in the Afternoon,' please. Hold the death, extra afternoon." He grinned at his own wit as he slid onto a barstool, eyeing his unsuspecting target.
