Paths Collide (Pre-Bullet Train Mission - Tangerine's POV)

Tangerine had always thought that his life would end in blood and bullets. It was the nature of his job, the price of living in the shadowy corners of the world where chaos reigned. But sometimes fate pulled the rug out from under you in the form of a stubborn contractor named Jules.
They met in Kyoto, a city drenched in quiet beauty and secrets. Tangerine and Lemon were assigned to protect a wealthy industrialist who'd angered the wrong people. Jules had been hired by someone else's rival with one clear directive: make the man disappear. It was a clash from the very first second.
