"You aren't the first demon we've faced."
The evening was spent planning, preparing and positing. Tabi of course, had questions. How did the demon find out where he lived? How exactly did he find out about Tabi's childhood? How long had he been looking into them?
All those questions and more had no answers. You speculated the demon just figured out Tabi was Russian, inferring that he would know about the toys. But other than that, you had nothing.
Did the demon even know that you and Tabi were responsible for the fall of Daddy Dearest? Surely he did. But then why weren't you mentioned in the letter? Why not even just use you as a pawn? In fact, the more you pondered it the less it made sense. Why, Lucifer knew your name. That alone should have deterred any demons from even considering taking you out.
The whole 'Girlfriend and the letter' situation also just seemed odd. Why would the Family have a letter to just kill Tabi? In the grand scheme of that Family, Tabi wasn't even that much of a threat. Plus, the Family were in prison. What possible leverage could they have on that demon to make it go into a mission like this? The demon could have just said no. Or perhaps he knew all this and just wanted a fight. And what about all the other letters?
Tabi acted differently too. While he'd been happy and joyous even, that he suddenly had an enemy brought on a new personality. There was 'punished Tabi', the dark, cloven and distant person you first met. There was 'redeemed Tabi', upbeat, intimate and valorant, the way he was after he won. He was somewhere in-between right now, fierce but not angry, commanding but not bossy and brooding but not gothic. He was like a general, though when you thought such things he could tell, the reflective look on your face annoying him. "What are you looking at?" He would say.
It would take at least a few days for the assassin to arrive. Blackjack confirmed that, telling you and Tabi that he'd put an ear to the ground tell you if he heard anything.
At some point in the evening, Tabi and you felt comfortable enough that to sleep the rest of the night. Tabi was anxious though, something you made sure to alleviate.
Despite the imminent doom you and he continued your day-to-day activities with not a care in the world. You handed the 1188 file in, recommending the case be forwarded to TGG or IRIS. From your own research you found that the child was connected to the company who previously owned the same factory Huggy came from. If anyone would know about those disappearances it would be IRIS or TGG. Huggy helped immensely during the takedown of Daddy Dearest and though he was 'retired', he may know a thing or two about that missing kid.
A minor update did appear on the case, that a new gang had formed in the city, led by some kind of purple cat monster, robbing banks left and right. Interesting as it was, you decided not to get involved in that case. There were plenty of go-getters in the department that would've loved a crack at that case.
Tabi spent the day recording with the rest of his rap group, Entity. You jokingly suggested the demon may attack during the recording session, to which Tabi replied, "Yeah, and he'll be burnt to a crisp if he tries it." What he didn't say was that he would've been very disappointed should that happen. You could see it in his eyes.
With nothing else planned for the day you decided to stick around the station helping with various antinominal cases. At some point you received news from Valerie. She would be staying in Theo's house for the next couple days. Apparently Theo had a 'water room' that she could sleep in. Shortly after that she gave you a call. The last trick of the upcoming battle she confirmed that she could bring rain down in a matter of minutes, enough local weather to instantly drench the demon, nullifying any fire abilities he may have had. Still out working, you make a note to meet her later.
As the day passed the letter started to gnaw at you. A detail poking out from it. When was the letter written? Tabi only became a threat to them AFTER you and the rest took out Sarventes. And even then they sent someone after you and Tabi, recalling the home invasion that occurred a few nights after Sarventes' arrest. Why wasn't this assassin call in back then? And why even write the letter after the first assassin failed? Why not just request the demon to attack in the first place? It didn't make sense. A theory arose that the letter was written before you met Tabi. But dwelling on it further that couldn't have been possible. He may have been an enemy of the Family but wasn't even a blip on the map back then. He wasn't a threat back then.
It didn't even make sense that the letter could be a failsafe if Daddy was defeated. The demon coming wasn't Daddy's class. So why send someone weaker than he if it were a failsafe?
Stepping out of the police station into the early spring you shake your head. Some things just didn't add up. And surely if the demon was doing he research he would have figured out you were Tabi's partner, or at least tried to use you as leverage. Especially if he knew where to find Tabi.
Looking around you didn't see anyone out of the ordinary. Just plenty of people walking the streets and cars driving by as the lunch hour started. Yeah, it just didn't add up. If anything, the demon would figure out your connection to Tabi soon. Figuring that, it was only a matter of time before the demon found a way to contact you directly. Even acknowledging that you begin to think the demon would try to use you as leverage, attack or abduct you right in the open.
With no set destination in mind you start walking down the streets, heading towards the closest park. In such a busy place it would be completely idiotic to be attacked here.
Plus, though you couldn't see anything unusually, you had a feeling you were being watched. Shaking your head again you focus on the matter at hand. Presumably, the demon could be spoken to and the location agreed upon. Or, if Blackjack could figure out when the battle were to occur you could be at some arena, ready.
Where to fight. Your neighbourhood was tempting but the last thing you needed was to bring the neighbours and police into this. Enough battles had been fought there already.
It had to be somewhere open.
Zardy's maze? You doubted it. No way would that scarecrow let Tabi back there, especially after their 'showdown'. Couldn't go with anywhere close quarters or any place that looked like a trap. Rosie's Forest of the Fae could work, though with excessive use of fire, she may not like that even with Valerie's water.
You phone Tabi, wondering his opinion. In true companion fashion he rationalized the same conditions you did, already having a location in mind.
"A construction site. I'll text you the address. Is abandoned, company went missing or something. I used to store my weapons there."
Checking the satellite view it looked good. A sunken area where digging once occurred lay open. The quarry lay deep enough that the slopes formed a wall. It was a decent arena. The only caveat was Valerie's rain potentially causing issues with mud but the ground was still frozen enough it shouldn't have been a problem.
Concluding with Tabi and feeling more confident now, you give Blackjack a call, wondering if he had any new information. He picked up instantly, audibly exhaling before he spoke. "Ah. I was just about to call you."
"Oh, what's up?"
"The demon after you. I believe I know who it is. The children's gifts were the key to identifying him. The demon's name is Vassago. He hails from a region of Hell referred to as New Eden. He is not typically known as an assassin, preferring to act moreso as a soldier."
"That's good. What should I expect?"
"He has mastery of fire-based attacks and remarkable physical strength. Do what you will with that. His appearance I cannot describe further. I do not know what he looks like."
You're glad that at least confirmed your suspicions. Valerie would be a good choice. "As to why the Family chose him I am unsure." Blackjack added. "I have established contact with him."
"Wait, you did? Can you tell him to call it off?" Much as you wanted to see Tabi sate his bloodlust you also knew better to avoid a fight if possible. "That is not a possibility." Blackjack said grimly. "He is insistent. And now that he is knows I and Lucifer's Office are aware he will not back down." Tabi was right. They really were useless. Didn't even make sense why they couldn't help. "As well, he is out of our jurisdiction. We cannot do anything to him."
Useless didn't describe them properly for at least that word had a use. After a prolonged pause, Blackjack spoke again. "I might be able to round up some demonic support if you would like."
"We'll pass." You already knew Tabi wouldn't approve.
"Will you be engaging with him alone or do Tabi and you have external help?" Blackjack asked.
"We have backup."
"If I may ask, who have you recruited? Someone from the former Carnival?"
"No. Just someone I met while working at TGG."
"Hm. Well, be careful about that."
"Say, could you pass my number to Vassago?" You ask. "I want to set up the fight location and whatnot."
"Very well. Expect a call soon. Goodb-"
"Hold on a second. Quick question for you, how did you get in contact with him so fast?"
"Did I not mention I work for Lucifer's office? If I need to inquire on a resident of Hell I can obtain the information faster than most."
"Right. Bye." You hang up, hearing Blackjack sigh before the call concluded. Though you felt Blackjack was contradicting himself the feeling of being watched stops that trains of thought.
Looking around, the park was bustling with kids running about and other people out for walks. Once again there was nobody out of the ordinary but you still couldn't shake that feeling of being watched. It didn't feel particularly malicious, just...there. A few minutes later your phone rung, unknown caller.
"Hello?" You ask, hearing heavy breathing on the other line. "I am coming for Tabi." A raspy, charred voice spoke. While your first instinct was to chuckle from the deep voice you do note that the other demons you've encountered had similar voices. He wasn't just doing it to sound ominous. "If you want to live, you will leave him." He continued.
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen. We're a duo."
"If you'd like," The demon unconsciously hummed, "...silver. I will pay you to deliver him." You couldn't help but snicker in response. After all you went through with Tabi and all the history it felt funny to just give it away for an unspecified amount of silver. You glance around just in case, looking for any potential demons nearby. You see a few people you could guess were demons, though they weren't paying you any mind, going about on their own lives. The demon must have been watching you from somewhere. You imagine Tabi would've liked to stretch this out, perhaps make it more cinematic, but you don't have that same flare.
"Look, I'm just gonna be frank. I'm not giving up Tabi. We're going to fight. When do you wanna do this?" You ask, cutting the foreplay. There was no immediate response, the demon pondering. On the other end you heard crackles, sounds that a burning flame would make.
"Tomorrow. 7PM."
"I'll text your number the address. Construction site. Abandoned. Me, you, Tabi and a friend of mine."
"A third? Who else?" The demon hissed.
"Just someone who wants to watch. Is that gonna be a problem? She won't intervene."
There was another pause and crackling. Though you had no evidence you imagine that when the demon was in deep thought, his head must burn. How his phone wasn't burning was also a thought.
"That is acceptable. Be there tomorrow. Bring no one else. And say goodbye to Tabi." He spoke with a dry voice, part of you wishing he would just drink a cup of water or tea to replenish.
"Yeah, sure. Don't think this is gonna go down how you think." You add, Tabi's flare rubbing off on you. "You aren't the first demon we've faced."
"It will go down as I say. Until then, you..." The call ended. So far the demon seemed a lot less forceful and threatening than Daddy did. He did have a same kind of upmost authority that Blackjack had. With your mind on demons you start to wonder what exactly this Vassago looked like.
You wonder if telling Vassago about having an ally was a short-sighted idea or not. Regardless, now that a location and time was established you return to the station, ready to do some more work. As you worked, a new flurry of questions arose. Why did this all of a sudden feel so formal? Why not just attack us? Why even agree to a time and place, surely knowing you would prepare for it. Maybe he just had some code of honour system you fit into or maybe he was just that confident?
With no answers available you continue to dig into your work, going over a police file from Mesa City, warning that some recently released crime boss was headed to the city. The rest of the day went by smoothly, no surprise attacks and not a peep from Blackjack. About an hour before you hit 8 hours you received a text. Thinking it was from Vassago you ready to roll your eyes at it, instead finding it was from an old contact. Rosie Belladonna. You called her immediately, the strangeness of the text piquing you curiosity.
"Does Tabi have any siblings?" She had texted. Upon picking up she repeated her question. "Does Tabi have any siblings?" She asked, her voice naturally upbeat, masking a lifetime's worth of violence. "Because there was some look-alike wandering our forest asking about him. I thought it was him at one point, figured he finally hit the gym."
"Tabi is plenty strong." You cut in. "But no, he doesn't have any siblings, at least, none I know of." You already had an idea, figuring may as well get to it, "anyways. This guy, did he have a raspy voice? Probably on fire."
"Yep. You know him?"
"Sort of. What did he say?"
"Was just looking for Tabi. Wanted to know about him. Said he was a friend."
"Looking for him?" That didn't make sense. He already knew where you live. "Did you guys tell him anything?"
"Well I wasn't there. I saw from a distance and when I came he disappeared. Fae just told them about the 'goat demon' and how he used to run the forest before he left. Y'know, they still see him as god."
Right. He left a huge impression on the Fae just from his appearance. "What did he look like?"
"He looked like that picture of a demon everyone's seen." Rosie said curtly. "Black fur, goat skull, cloven hooves, parts of him were on fire, red wings. The Fae said he was friendly actually, despite how evil he looked."
That had to be the Vassago, you decided. Though why he was looking in the forest for Tabi didn't make much sense either. At least I know what he looks like now. The goat skull part was concerning though. Especially because of Tabi. A theory had begun to form, bolstering the assassin idea that if that was Vassago, he must have been chosen for his appearance.
You thank Rosie but before hanging up she cuts you off. "So you gonna tell me what's going on? I know that was a demon. Why do you have demons after you?" Though she hadn't been informed, she already had deduced part of it.
"Long story." You said briefly.
"Then give me a summary."
You did so, glazing over a bunch of details, blaming Girlfriend for this whole situation. At least this time it was actually her fault.
"She did? You sure about that? She may appear airheaded but she's way smarter than that. She would never just mail random letters." Rosie said.
"You sure?"
"I know her way better than you. I'll ask her about it. But that doesn't seem right."
Concluding with Rosie you figure you had enough information that sticking around here would be useless. Getting up and readying to go, another event occurred.
It should've been cause for worry but it was so leftfield you didn't think anything odd of it. On your way out a cop stopped you. She told you there was some perp arrested that had specifically asked for you instead of their lawyer. Asking what they exactly did, the officer explained they attacked a police officer and had ties to a crime ring. The perp then refused to give a name but kept insisting you would vouch for them. With nothing but a description that the perp was 'some scrawny kid', it gave you a few ideas who it could be. Thinking nothing of it you marched to Interrogation Room 4.
Past the metal door you step into the room, eyes settling on an empty table and chair, an empty pair of cuffs lying on it. There were no suspects present.

"Huh?"
Stepping in just enough the door slams behind you. Turning back and to the side you understand why the room was empty now.
In the upper corner of the room was a large demon, perched near the ceiling holding himself up. You didn't even need to analyze him to know it was Vassago. The skull head, dense black fur, monstrous appearance and flames for eyes were good enough. Nevermind if the cop from earlier was on it you immediately made for the door, only leaping back as a fireball hit the handle, missing your hand and melting the knob.
Backing to the opposite corner, Vassago stared at you. Unlike Tabi he only had the top skull, and his eyes, just spheres of fire hovering in the eye sockets were unreadable. You reached for you gun next, hand grabbing it out the holster and aiming at him.
"Vassago." You said.
"There will be no need for that." Vassago hissed. "I am not here to fight you." Just like on the phone he wielded the same ashy, toasted-vocal-chord voice. He really needed a glass of water.
"Coulda fooled me." You kept your voice strong, figuring the 2nd best shot to get was in his eyes. Out of the corner of your eye you note the viewing glass, opaque by default you knew if a bullet went through that the bullet + glass shatter would alert the whole precinct. That was the best shot. Plus you'd be able to leap and possibly run.

Vassago jumped off the corner and landed on the table, crushing it instantly beneath blackened hooves. "No. I am here with another proposal." He said with a raspy voice. You couldn't help but clear your throat in response.
Only about 2 metres away now, you could see him in all his unholy glory. Damn was he big. You understood what Rosie meant when she said, 'if Tabi worked out'.
He was larger than you and Tabi, well over 2m, maybe even 2.5m tall and like Rosie said was covered in short black fur. But it was short and dense, further obscured by all the muscles he had.
"Speak it then." You replied, keeping the gun raised.
He was strongly built, possibly even moreso than Daddy (at least, more visibly strong). From visible pecs to his arms being a bunch of spheres with how bulbous they were he looked like a beast. Muscles were visible on his legs too, bending the same way a horse's would as he stood tall (almost appearing as if he were crouching). He even stood on hooves like a horse would.
"I propose you be my companion and abandon Tabi. Do this and perhaps I will spare him."
"C-companion?"
Vassago nodded slowly. "Break the pact you made with Tabi and make a pact with me as well."
Aside from his burning eyes, it was as if lava flowed through his veins, streaks of red and yellow glowing across his body, outlining various muscles. Aesthetically the colours stretched across his pecs, giving them the impression they were cracked like lava-infested rock.
But, ignoring his appearance you couldn't help but chuckle at the proposal. Sure he looked good but there were so many reasons to not. The proposal seemed even more ludicrous than just paying you to abandon Tabi.
"What is your reply?"
But...his appearance did all-but confirm to you the reason the Family had chosen him. He had a skull for a head. Not of a goat like Tabi. His was of a horse or something equally-large and four-footed. But unlike a horse, Vassago's skull donned two large horns emerging from the sides of his head and arcing towards you as they formed a semi-circle around Vassago's head. There were cracks and dents all over the skull, weathered from time. Fangs were even visible, sharpened ones that practically shone in Vassago's ambient light. You knew if it were the old Tabi he would've instantly become filled with jealousy or anger at Vassago's appearance. You weren't sure how he'd judge now but you imagined Daddy, if he could see this now would be laughing his head off.
And just like Tabi, Vassago did not have any eyes proper, but instead small spheres that perpetually burned. You wondered if the fires smoked when he cried (if Vassago was even capable of that). But while Tabi's eyes were somewhat restrained, Vassago's burned brightly, almost painful to look at. It was like staring directly into a candleflame. No bottom skull however, his voice still emerging from where his vocal chords would normally be. He was in a sick way, almost like a parallel of Tabi, physically.
Rosie's family question made complete sense.
"I'm going to pass. I'm not giving up Tabi."
"I am everything you desire in Tabi but improved. I seldom even need the exercise he requires." He flexed his muscles, scrunching his fist as she bent his arms, showing off how much raw strength he possessed.
While he flexed to show off, you saw something else. Keeping Valerie in mind you started to think this wouldn't be as difficult as a task was as defeating Daddy would be. This is do-able. A voice said in your head.
"I can defend you in battle more adequately than he. I even possess other qualities that Tabi can only hope to-"
"That's enough." You butt in, interrupting him as he started to motion to his groin. As obscene as this was getting you had to stop it.
"I'm sticking with him and that's final. Never had much luck with demons either. I don't ally with them." You say, pretending you never had demonic allies.
Vassago looked at you curiously, turning his head slightly in confusion.
"Is Tabi not your crossroads demon? The one you have a mortal pact with?" Vassago asked, his raspy voice pitching up slightly.
"Tabi is human. He's just like. Just looks weird because of a curse." Did he...really not know that?
"...Then you must realize that by natural order I am magnitudes stronger than he. I do not even require the external tools you people use to defend." He motioned to your gun, still aimed at him.
Vassago wasn't here to kill you or use you as bait. It appeared his intel was also incorrect, thinking you and Tabi were in some kind of blood pact. That he thought Tabi was a demon was also concerning. He had no intention of fighting you here. He was legitimately trying to woo you. Tabi would love (read: be extremely envious) this if not for Vassago's appearance.
You put the gun down, figuring there would be no point in using it. He adjusted his stance when he did, shoulders lowering slightly. Since he was here you had a question. "Actually, are you related to Tabi in some way? Like, with the skull?"
Vassago shook his head. "The skull that dons Tabi's head is unrelated to mine."
"Maybe The Family was inspired by you." You mumbled, thinking it over. You tried to put it in different words, pointing out the humour of his appearance versus Tabi's and why the Family picked him but Vassago didn't care. "I do not question such things." He said coldly.
"Look. I appreciate the offer," you started diplomatically, "but I'm not interested. Tabi and I have history. We've been through a lot."
Vassago nodded. "I understand. You have loyalty to him and he to you. But loyalty will not help you in the long-term."
"Why do you even have to fight us?" You asked. "You don't seem that, uh, bad." Vassago's eyes narrowed, his skull deforming so. "That is not your concern."
"But the Family is locked up. Even if you backed down they can't do anything to you."
"I do not back down from a conflict." Vassago rose his voice, deepening as he spoke. "My offer was final. You're refusal only brands you as my enemy too."
Guess it couldn't be avoided. You shrugged. "Very well. I'll see you tomorrow then."
"As will I." Vassago said, staring at you as a disappeared in a burst of flames.
Alone now, you look at the glass, instantly getting hit with a feeling of déjà vu. You get the same feeling from earlier in the park. Being watched. "Hello?" You ask the glass. You hear some shuffling but nothing. You were being watched, not just by Vassago but by something else. You run for the door, kicking it open with ease, stupid thing was always flimsy.
With the watcher on their way out you expect to see them but exiting the room you are stopped by a bunch of concerned police officers. You didn't get the gist of what was asked but apparently Vassago rung off alarms right after he left. Shouting past them you bust open into the other side of the interrogation room.
Empty.
Something was up. You were sure of it. Dealing with the cops you gave a few statements and left the precinct, worried. Not exactly concerned with Vassago's battle, but moreso that there was something not adding up. Deciding it was that Vassago had something else planned you called Displo. You didn't trust Blackjack anymore either, your own paranoia taking over. Ignoring the risk of being prejudiced, you figure he must have something to do with this.
Displo picked up quickly and you explained to him the situation. He rebutted quickly, believing it to be an entire misunderstanding. "I apologize for not informing you sooner." He said. "We've had an agent keepings tabs on you today. They saw you from the viewing room when the confrontation occurred. The agent only showed up at the tail end of your conversation, and when he saw you didn't have your weapon drawn assumed the situation was safe. He was ready to intervene should that negotiation had turned south."
"But why did they run away?"
"I must doubly apologize for his behaviour. He was under the misguided impression that he was not to be seen by you. I have since informed them again that they are allowed to interact with you."
Having explained your ongoing hunches you ask Displo what he thought. Thankfully, he didn't outright dismiss your concerns.
"It would be rather uncharacteristic for Blackjack to turn on us. After all, it was him who negotiated that you are not to be touched by other demons. Vassago is a rogue and fugitive, he cares not what the official ruling is. As for the unorthodox request. I theorize he may believe a pact with you would negate his fugitive status and allow him to roam freely on Earth. I am unsure if that is even possible. Regardless, I will speak with Blackjack and see if I can gleam any information. Until then I am putting a special IRIS team to watch over you. Should anyone but Vassago intervene, we shall intervene as well."
Re-assured, you conclude the call with Displo feeling a bit better. Still suspicious against Blackjack you give him a call, wondering if he knew of the confrontation or would ask you about it. You pass him the description of Vassago you got from Rosie. Unsurprisingly he couldn't help identify Vassago. He said he would look into it, but 'black fur and hooves is someone most demons had'. He didn't sound too worried, remarking that he believed, 'you had things under control'. He seemed more interested in how you obtained the description of the demon, you just explaining it was from Rosie and so on. He didn't imply he knew anything about the confrontation or the ambush, just listening along when you said Rosie saw him.
Back at home and with nothing to do but wait you and Tabi were in your abode, in the living room organizing and picking weaponry. A container of chicken and rice lay upon the table, something Tabi pulled out of meal prep. Wondering what he would think of the appearance you decide to lay it all out, from Rosie's description to the ambush. Knowing just how he would react you also leave out Rosie's comment about him working out. Suffice to say, he was pissed.
"I'LL KILL HIM." Tabi said, his eyes burning almost as fiercely as Vassago's. And when he was passed just how graphic he would crush Vassago's skull, the reality of his appearance sunk in for Tabi. He took it a lot more personally. "You said, he has a goat skull? And is flaming?" He asked. He took in everything you said, adding peanut gallery comments here and there but seemed rather hung up on the demon's appearance. This was the third time he mentioned it, now asking you directly.
"Yep." You respond, screwing a barrel into a revolver. Spotless, Tabi really cleaned every piece. You decided that among everything you neglected to mention how many muscles, knowing that would definitely set him off further.
"Hmph." Tabi mumbled.
"Why's that bother you so much?"
"Because, well-" Tabi paused, the fires his eyes flickering madly. "I am the only goat. I won't be upstaged by some xотшот demon."
You put the gun down, trying not to laugh. While Tabi was initially amped to fight, you could see clearly he was jealous. His skull even appeared a bit pink. Yeah, it was a good call to not mention the muscles.
"Hey don't forget your my goat king, not any demon."
"R-right. But you didn't think about joining him at all right?"
"Pfft. Course I didn't. I instantly turned him down." You laugh. "Tabi we are literally preparing to kill him. We've even set the field in such a way that he has no chance."
"But what if they based my skull off his?"
"So what? You don't even know that. Plus, I asked him, he didn't think so. And Blackjack said the description we had didn't narrow it down. Said there's plenty of demons running around with skull heads." A sort of-lie, you figure it'd still help him.
Despite everything there were still hankerings of paranoia in Tabi. And like you were always able to do, you needed to dispel it. He went through hell (figuratively) and though time had started to heal those wounds, they could still be re-opened.
"Does it even matter? That Family made you into what you are. You, we sent them back to hell, permanently. That demon has nothing on you."
"Yeah, you're right babe." Tabi said, shaking his head. "But I just think-"
You shrug. "I doubt it. Come on. You're a goat and he isn't. He's some weird horse thing. You're still cooler him by a long shot. This isn't gonna change anything."
"Hmph. And you better not fall for him."
"Hehe, there were many more things than your face that I fell in love with."
"Damn straight."
While the night went on, preparing every single gun, checking every barrel and polishing each piece of metal, the jovial state never lessened.
As you looked over the coffee table lined with guns, armaments and armour you think you have a pretty good shot. And with Valerie ready to start downpour you knew you had good odds in this fight.
The next chapter will be called Hell's Hitman. It will be released on Halloween.
