HWI 238

Hollywood What If Chapter 238

[Wesley and the woman escaped the scene. The woman, who introduced herself as Fox(Angelina Jolie), took Wesley to a textile factory.]

[There, Wesley met the other members of The Fraternity. All of them seemed strong and professional in killing people.]

[An old man black introduced himself as Sloan and ordered Wesley to shoot the wings of the flies.]

"Shoot the wings of the flies."

"Ah, I'm really thinking of something else--"

[The Gunsmith, one of the hitmen, pulled a gun and pointed it against the back of Wesley's head.]

[Wesley Gibson had a panic attack. His heart started beating faster and his vision became clearer. He felt like the time moved slower.]

[With the fear of losing his life, Wesley gritted his teeth and emptied the whole magazine of bullets into the trashcan.]

[He felt like his heart was going to explode as he leaned down the wall. He was gasping for air, his face red, showing that his air circulation was lacking. He started looking for his prescription.]

[However, Sloan came up to him and showed him what he did. Wesley forgot about his medicine as he looked at the twitching flies with no wings. He was shocked.]

"What you're experiencing is not a panic attack. Your heart beats an excess of 400 beats per minute. Sending abundance of adrenaline to your bloodstream."

"Wesley, you are not sick. You are talented. You inherited your father's talent. Only a few people can do what you did. People like us. Your father is a member of our organization. From now on, all of his belongings will be yours. We already sent your father's money into your bank account."

"Stay away from me, S- Sir. I, I have a gun." 

[Perhaps confused about the situation he was in, Wesley pointed his gun at Sloan but the man was not fazed.]

"My name is Sloan and she is Fox. Everyone that you see in this room is very good at killing people."

"You're insane."

"No, I'm not. The person who attacked you earlier is Marcus. He is the one who killed your father. Your father is one of us, the weapons of fate."

"S- Stay away from me. You don't know anything about me."

[Wesley kept pointing his guns at them as he left the place. Yet none of the hitmen were scared.]

[Wesley successfully returned to his house...]

[When he woke up in the morning, he was surprised that everything was not a dream. Everything that happened last night was real. The fact that he had a gun under his pillow blew his mind. Wesley quickly hid the gun inside the toilet bowl.]

[Out of curiosity, Wesley checked his bank account. He was speechless when he found more than seven digits. This confirmed that Sloan was not lying... Perhaps, his father was indeed an assassin.]

"Jesus H. Fucking Popsicle. I still don't have my billing report." 

[Unfortunately for Wesley, his fat female boss was there to mess up his morning.]

"Yet you get time to sit here and Google your ass off. Well, I know one thing. Your review coming up next week."

[The female boss, Janice, used her stapler and made irritating clip noises. Making Wesley infuriated.]

"Attitude, poor. Performance, poor. Management skills, poor! Well, what are looking for on the Internet? Huh, some fucking loser lost his head on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building."

[That was the fuse.]

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

[Wesley screamed at the top of his lungs. Everyone in the office turned silent.]

"I understand that life is tough for you Janice because no one invited you to Prom. But it doesn't give you the right to treat your workers like horseshit."

"I know we laugh at you, Janice. I want you to know, if you're not such a bitch, we'd feel sorry for you. I do feel sorry for you."

[Wesley grabbed his keyboard and walked out of the office. His friend tried to talk to him but Wesley smashed his face with the keyboard. Wittingly creating a "Fuck you" in the air.]

"I'm the man."

[Wesley muttered.]

[When he left the building, he realized that Fox was already waiting for him. Wesley entered the car with no problem. He had already decided that his old life was gone.]

[When he returned to the textile factory, he realized that everyone in there was not simple.]

[Wesley accepted that he would follow his father's footsteps... So he started his career by getting beat up.]

[On his first day in the Fraternity, The Repairman, one of the hitmen, started punching his face like a punching bag.]

[Then after that, Wesley proceeded to get wounded by The Butcher.]

[When he woke up after that terrible beating, he found that he was in an ice sauna. Apparently, it was a method to quickly heal the wounds. There, he met The Exterminator, a guy who was obsessed with making explosive rats.]

[His life in the Fraternity was basically the same-- his face getting smashed and waking up in a sauna of ice.] 

"I don't know who I am..."

[He weakly muttered as blood covered his face. The people around turned quiet. Sloan decided that it was the time to tell him about his father.]

[Sloan told Wesley that his father was one of the best assassins in the world. But Marcus blindsided Mister X and killed him.]

[Since then, Wesley gained the motivation. He started fighting his instructors, returning the favor of how he was beaten. He studied about Marcus as well. He realized that Marcus was actually strong. In fact, he only had two missions that he failed to accomplish. The first was about killing the Baba Yaga and the second was about a retired agent.]

[Wesley followed the life of being a hitman and successfully killed his first target.]

"Now that you can bend the trajectory of your bullets and kill your first target, I want you to know about the Fraternity."

[Sloan told him about the history of Fraternity and how they use the textile to determine their targets. He used codes to determine the name of the targets, saying that it was the revelation of fate towards them.]

"Unless the High Table needs our help, we will only kill the people who were written in this textile. Now, the High Table has a mission for you... This is the information."

[Sloan passed him a document about his next target... Wesley's next target was the retired agent Bryan Mills.]

+++++

[Author's Note: Yup, that's how I will make a connection between them.]
