The Contract
It was dawn when a knock on the door interrupted Jhin's daydreaming; he was swimming in a sea of thoughts as he gazed at the ceiling and fathomed how glorious his next artwork will be.
"Sir? Are you awake?"
"Yes my darling, I'll be right there." He said as he sat in the bedside scrubbing his eyes, trying to awake himself.
He grabbed his robe and Whisper from the table and headed towards the door at a slow pace. When he opens the door, he smiles at the maid as she gave him a black envelope.
"Thank you, my dear." Jhin said while closing the door.
The temptation of killing her right then and there was almost driving him crazy. Blood was what kept him sane most of the time and 14 days already passed since he last savors its sweetness.
He admired the vermillion seal engraved with a rose for a moment before breaking it, "Delightful".
Jhin already knew it was from a client which he's always been more than eager to make deals with, he always got good pay.

"I know this is inconvenient, but I need you to head over to Piltover and find your target there.
Officer Caitlyn, as you might know, is a nuisance for all of my business affairs.
You're my last hope.
I trust in your work and I know you never fail, and as you may know, I never fail in contributing my part either.
-C"

Jhin sits there for a moment thinking on what he's gotten into.
"Caitlyn... I haven't seen her in a while, not even in the League. She's too noble and makes me want to vomit..." He held Whisper one more time and put her in his bag as he took off his garments "Nevertheless, I would enjoy including her into my masterpieces."
He headed towards the bathroom and washed his face in the basin. He took a glance of himself in the mirror as he dried his hands with the towel "Tempus fugit... But my art will never die."He said as a grin drew in his face.
The bathtub was almost full of water as he got into it while humming an Ionian melody. He couldn't stop thinking on all the different pieces of art he could make with Caitlyn: "She's different from every other piece I've done. I believe that a shot to the head would be perfect. She thinks she's smart, maybe I'll have to take advantage of that."
A few hours went by, as Jhin waited for Jonah, his subordinate, and all the information he needed. Jonah knocked into the door four times, as Jhin requested before. Perfection was always a must when working for Jhin.
"Come in boy, we gotta get ready for the show."
"Good afternoon sir." Jonah said as he entered the room.
"Here is everything we need to get the job done as soon as possible."
"Fantastic."
Both sat down on the table as Jonah displayed everything he brought for Jhin. They planned everything carefully; idiot-proof, as Jhin used to say. They had all the dates and places set. Jhin was thrilled as to how close he was of fulfilling another one of his works, he hasn't felt like that in a while.
"I think we are done, for now, we must part as soon as we can. " Jhin said as he leaned back in the chair and exhaled.
"Vi will be so broken when I get to put a bullet in Caitlyn's head. There's nothing she can do about me."
"Nobody can. Not even the great Kusho could."
Jhin starts laughing hysterically as the memories of his past flew in front of him. He was good back then, but he's become unstoppable, something nobody wanted to get into.
