Thanks for that good idea about the love story DPG didn’t think of that.

Currently as it is the hit man wants to quit killing people and learns compassion. They do end up killing the loan shark’s henchmen and use one of their bodies to fake the MCs death.

When a widowed teacher is given a week by a loan shark to pay back her debt, she contracts a hit-man on herself so her teenage children will receive her life insurance. However after she befriends the hit-man they fall in love and decide to fake her death instead.

Hi Nick
For some reason I can’t see your post in the forum but I did get an email with it, very strange. In any event I copied your question bellow:

Your question:
“Nir – are you thinking the sequence they become friends is sort of your mid point, and things change for your character from that point?”

answer: Yes.

End of act one he finds the hit man.
First half of act two fun and games – him as a fish out of water Ned Flanders type guy dealing with the crime world ala’ The Whole Nine Yards.

Act 2 mid point change of approach with the help of the hit man is also the mid point for the buddy love B plot.
