There's a knock on the door and I open it.
"You're late." I say.
Y/n sighs and takes a deep breath.
"Work." Y/n says.
Y/n unzips her jacket and I see blood on her shirt.
I met Y/n about 12 years ago. I was a senior and highschool and she was in her second year of college. We hit it off and started dating.
She ended up dropping out and making money out of nowhere. My parents let her stay with us because she had money to pay bills. When she moved in, break-in and robberies started happening in the area.
Things were disappearing in my neighborhood
Apparently there hadn't been that many crimes since 1930 which is when the Salieris, a Mafia, ran the city.
Once again somebody was up to no good
I looked through records and found out Y/n had legally changed her last name from Salieri and was wanted for questioning.
I saw that you were wanted, but not like I wanted you
I told Y/n I could find her away out but she didn't care. She said I could have her and her baggage or not have her at all. I did what any moron would do, fall in love and marry her.
And that's when I knew I had to be with you
And that's when I knew if I didn't, I'd be through
Once I was hooked, I couldn't let go.
To end my grief I'd have to catch a thief
"We lost Sam." Y/n says.
She starts to cry and I hug her.
Your love was my relief my love is your release
Time Skip
I hear sirens and Y/n runs inside.
Come into my window
It's open every night
That's where I'll be waiting
"What's going on?" I ask as she closes the curtains.

I'll keep off all the lights
"Get down." Y/n says.
I lay on the floor and hear banging on the door.
I'm lying on my bed
"LAPD!" Someone shouts.
"We're gonna need a warrant, head out." Someone shouts.
The sirens turn off and Y/n opens the backpack.
"You can have that." Y/n says handing me a necklace.
Crown jewels on my head
I'd never give you up
So come in from the cold, let your guard down
I'd hide you from the cops
Don't be frightened now my love
I'll take the life of crime, all to make you mine
"What the fuck just happened?" I ask.
"There's a mole. There's no way the 20 cop cars happened to be in the same place coincidentally." Y/n says.
"So you decided to bring an entire precinct of cops to YOUR HOUSE?" I ask.
Come in off that roof top
"By the time they get a warrant, we'll be gone." Y/n says.
She grabs the box off the shelf and opens it.
"You pick." She says handing it to me.
"I'm gonna change." She says.
You're so handsome dressed in black
She walks down the hall and I sigh.
See you in the shadows
I go through the box and see driver's licenses and passports.
This is too much. Maybe I should've turned Y/n in. Well, Mark does make sure everything is okay.
Take this precious treasure
And I will treasure you
"What is this?" I ask as Y/n comes back in the room.
"We getting out. No more running, this is the home stretch." Y/n says.
We'll run away my dear
Some place special have no fear
"We just gotta make some changes..." Y/n says.
We'll even change our names
"We're one of the few to get out. Had to really convince my dad." Y/n says.
We'll be kinky, we'll be strange
"You have been my ride or die through all this crazy shit and I'm so grateful for that. Now all we have to do is ride." She says.
I'll take the life of crime, all to make you mine
"You down?" She asks.
All to catch a thief
I nod and Y/n kisses me.
Your love is my relief, my love is your release
"I love you." Y/n says.
Your love is my relief, my love is your release
"I love you too." I say.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
