After a failed attempt with his rifle earlier in the day, he could not afford to be careless again. He anticipated a long and boring process of waiting, shadowing, and planning, and was most disappointed.
Unexpectedly, he did not even have to wait.
At first, he could not believe his eyes when he saw the target walking across the road. He never managed to catch her alone, following her for two weeks. Then, he got serious. This was his chance. He could not let it go to waste.
It was over in less than a second.
The impact momentarily slowed down his car. He grinned at the satisfying impact and stepped harder on the accelerator. Adrenaline coursed through his veins. Nothing made him feel better than another mission accomplished. Looking through the rearview mirror, he was satisfied with what he saw: the reflection of his target lying on the road in a bloody mess, becoming tinier as he sped away. In no time at all, she was just a speck in the distance.
He dialed his client on his phone.
"It's done."
