Justin Frekals was in his home packing some stuff for his next mission when he got an e-mail. The E-mail was in the regular format with a password-protected file attached to it.

After entering the password Frekals started reading the E-mail.

Target Name: Bill Punt

Location: New Jersey

Threat: High

Mission: Put him in the range of Ambrose Bulls

Device Information: STI GL300

Location of Pickup: Dargavs

Pickup Time: 20:00 hrs

After reading the necessary information Frekals deleted the mail went in his car and drove off to Dargavs.

Dargavs was quite a few hours away from Frekal's house. When he reached there he picked up the device and dumped the vehicle.

From there he took a bus back to his place and the next morning took a flight to America.

After reaching New Jersey the first thing he did was reach out to his contact there.

"Meet me in person, at the target's location."

Gates was sitting in the motel room thinking about the current situation.

He thought "How was that gun a service edition one"

"How come it ended up in the dumpster"

Many questions were going on in his brain when Estela interrupted his thinking.

"Don't think too hard, here take some coffee"

Gates took the coffee from Estela.

Estela sat across on the couch and asked Gates "You got any ideas?"

"Hmm… I'll talk to the chief." Said Gates lost in thought.

He went out of the room and called the chief.

After a certain amount of rings, the he answered the call.

"Hello"

"Gates here"

"How are you doing Gates"

"You know exactly how I am doing Morris" said Gates irritated

"Manners Gates, manners."

"So what do you want from me today?" asked Morris

"I need you to get me out of this warrant and from California police"

"I'll look into it"

Gates hung up.

Morris Santos was sitting in front of his computer looking currently at the profile page of Gates

Morris Santos was the current Chief of The Agency appointed in 2015.

He and Gates never had a tuning.

Morris sat back in his chair deep in thought.

"hmm… should I see that again"

After a few minutes of thinking, he clicked several times on the computer screen.

You are viewing the Mission report of-

Mission No. 1215986

Year: 2009

Assigned Agent(s): Thomas Gates and Morris Santos

Location: Fort Hood, Texas

Casualties: 1 civilian , 0 Agents

Casualty Information -

Name: Martha Santos

Age: 24

"Martha…*sigh* I couldn't save her, I will get you for that Gates."

The Fort Hood shooting was one of the worst in terms of casualties.

Gates and Santos were there for the evacuation process.

Martha was in the same place where the shooting took place, there was a stampede due to the shooting and Martha was sitting in a quiet corner, hiding, when Morris saw her.

Morris was stuck due to the crowd

"Go find my wife, she's still somewhere in there".

Gates ran for Martha but due to his sudden action the shooters saw Martha and fired at her. She ran and managed to not get hit, and hid but the bullet grazed Gates on the knee, despite the injury he managed to take out the assailant and get to where Martha was hiding. She was shaking with terror.

"I'll get you out of here"

Martha just nodded.

Gates lifted her up and ran in the opposite direction of the shooters.

Due to his knee injury Gates was not able to run properly. "Take my phone out of my back pocket and call Santos."

"Gates ? Did you get her ?"

"She's with me, get the car and bring it out front, and be fast"

*Click*

*Hold on tight, I'm gonna run as fast as I can*

When Santos arrived Gates was still running. There was a man aiming his gun for Gates' head. Gates looked at Santos and once again their tuning failed. Gates kept on running, Santos took aim and....

*BANG*

In an attempt to not get hit, Gates dodged to the side, the bullet whizzing past his ear and killing the man. But what Gates hadn't noticed was that the bullet had also pierced Martha's head too.

Too tired from his injury and carrying her, he didn't notice her going limp.

When Gates reached the vehicle he was greeted by a punch from Santos.

Morris took his wife's still warm body and left Gates on the scene, devastated by the fact that he had shot his own wife and barely holding in his emotions, he went on his way.

After examining the whole report, Santos called Gates asking about his status.

"Gates, what's your status?"

"Still in California."

"I'll get you out."

"Do it fast Santos."

After the beep Santos called the Police Department of California.

"This is Chief Morris Santos from the New Jersey branch of The Agency, I request that you release Agents Thomas Gates and Estela King immediately."

"Understood sir but we request that it is a Release Under Investigation as we still don't have enough evidence to absolve them."

"Fine, just make it quick. They have a case to solve."

"...."

After quick discussion with the police officer on duty, Chief Santos called Gates to inform him of their current situation.

"You're free to go...."

"That was fast"

"Yeah well, you're not completely free, you're being released under investigation due to lack of evidence but I'm in charge of keeping an eye on you, so there's that at least."

"Better than nothing I suppose, thanks Chief"

*click*

"Est, call Bill. Tell him we're coming back soon."

"Will do, Thomas."

"Bill, we just got released from custody, we're coming back to New Jersey."

"Alright, I'll see you when you get here."

Justin Frekals was standing on the roof of an apartment opposite to Bill's.

Set up with a semi-automatic Sniper Rifle and a pistol in case of an emergency, he was all set to take his target down.

*Ring ring ring*

"Bulls? What does he want now?" he thought.

"Hey, I just got done setting up, what is it?"

"I just got intel that Gates is also arriving there"

"What should I do then?"

"Wait for Him."

"...shit, this would've been so easy. You get off easy this time, Punt." He mumbled to himself as he started packing up his things as inconspicuously as possible.

The next day when Gates arrived, Frekals was all set.

Gates said something on the phone and went inside. From above the roof Frekals saw another man with sniper rifle sitting. He aimed,

*BANG*

*BANG*

Two bullets were fire near-simultaneously, the first one missed the target and the second one was a bull's eye. The other sniper was laying dead on the roof.

"Shit!" Exclaimed Justin, as he made a run for Gates' vehicle he stuck a note on it saying

"Следы, тропы везде, нигде не видно. Повернитесь и проследите свой путь, потому что следующий будет не тем, кем вы думаете"

Meaning

"Trails, trails everywhere, nowhere to be seen. Turn around and trace your path cause the next will not be who you think it will be"
