Jeim had made it into the shower room when he felt the presence of another.  This wasn’t the normal routine he was used to, but it wouldn’t stop him from showering and getting ready for the rest of his day.  Jeimseu had no intention of talking to the guy who had strolled casually into his space, but when he mentioned someone named Virgil, his ears opened to the possibility of this older guy having information he may find useful.  Jeim turned to look at Malenkov.  He watched him remove articles of clothing and toss them into a basket.  He seemed to be waiting on Jeim to do the same.  Smirking, he continued to listen to him while slowly removing piece by piece of his attire, folding it neatly before stepping underneath the showerhead.  Jeim’s body was toned from all the training he did over the years.  He wasn’t a stick figure, and he felt good about his appearance.  He didn’t let others bring down his mood with their opinions of him or his appearance.  

As he listened to Malenkov, he raised an eyebrow.  So this was the help he was supposed to have when the time came to kill their target?  He was talkative, Jeim would give him that much, but if the voice he’d heard was right, then this boy and his helper would try to betray him.  A long-ranged snipe.  A killing blow.  As he listened, he mentally took notes.  This was his mission, and he didn’t like sharing, but the voice played over in his head as he turned to look at Malenkov.  The male’s body was nice under the showerhead.  The water cascaded down his nude form and hit the wet floor.  Jeim’s eyes slowly moved from the male’s head down to his feet and he quickly looked away to make sure he wasn’t noticed.  Those kinds of thoughts were forbidden.  He had a job to do, and he had things to learn.  There was no time for relationships or any of that.  If you keep people away from your heart they can’t break it later.

Finally, after Malenkov finished speaking, Jeim gave a half-smile.  

“So you and this [i]Virgil[/i] guy are supposed to help?  You haven’t even shown me what you can do so how can I rely on you to do what needs to be done when the time comes?”
