Friendly With Death

Being friendly with death can get complicated.

Vale has always taken his job as an assassin seriously, which means killing his targets without asking questions and keeping his mouth shut. When he finds a picture of an old target of his in the hotel room of a man he just disposed of, he knows something fishy is happening. Luckily for him, his target doesn't have to stay dead.

Cyril is surprised when his boyfriend asks him to reanimate his latest target, because that's not how his job usually works. He'd do anything for Vale, though, so he does it, only to find himself pulled into a mess he has nothing to do with for once.

Some people have more money than sense, and Peter West is one of those people. He wants Vale killed so he can't tell anyone that he had his father killed, which makes Vale the prey instead of the predator. More importantly, it puts Cyril in danger, something Vale can't accept.

He'll have to get extra friendly with death this time around.
