Hmm, interesting, what if you make one of the nine assassins be the reason why one of them has a hit on their head? Maybe one of them got in the way of something they were doing or since you mentioned comedy, the bounty could be a joke gone wrong.
Someone put it on the dark web “if someone kills this person on sight, you’ll get 50 million,” but it was meant to be a joke, but because it’s the dark web someone is really after them messing up their missions.
Lol, idk, but that was fun to write.
