EXFIL

Leo looked at his target with cold eyes as the man slowly bled out.

Leo was already quite glad that he didn't use his weapon once during the mission.

Although he had killed the majority of guards, he would now be able to sneak away quietly.

Leo thought about the loot he collected and only came to the realization now that the majority could not be taken with.

Leo was planning to drive off with the car to somewhere a while away, hide out of sight, switch back to his usual appearance and from there on make his way back to Valentina.

No exact EXFIL point was discussed so Leo decided to give Valentina a call to discuss a pickup once he was completely sure that he was out of sight.

He knew that from there on it would still take a while since they would be switching cars every now and then to assure that it could not be traced back in any way.

Taking all these factors into consideration, it would not be realistic to haul boxes of cigars and jewelry.

Leo sighed as he felt around in his pocket and pulled out the USB stick.

"I guess I can still take this."

Leo put the USB stick back before feeling if his target still had a pulse.

"Nothing." murmured Leo.

Leo assumed that he did not have to take a picture to confirm the hit since it was a high profile target, this would surely be news.

Leo got up and turned toward the door in order to leave.

He was planning to take the exact path he took to enter and to quickly take his leave.

He left the room and started walking.

As he was walking he noticed that his clothes were stained with blood.

He tried to hide it as best as possible meanwhile keeping a steady pace.

Leo's main concern was the mobile task force tasked with hunting him.

He absolutely didn't want to leave any traces, he didn't want it to end like last time.

Luckily Leo managed to exit the building without anyone really noticing him.

He quickly made his way to the car and got it, turning the ignition on and taking his leave.

Leo's first priority was discussing an EXFIL location with Valentina.

He took out his phone and started dialing.

Right before Leo was about to call he took a look around the car.

He wanted to ensure that there was no dashcam or anything along those lines recording in the car.

After making sure he wasn't being recorded he finally sent the call through.

The phone was picked up and nothing but static could be heard for a couple of seconds.

Once the static was gone Leo spoke.

"I need a EXFIL."

Valentina's voice could be heard.

"Are you still around that area?"

"Yeah."

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Was it quiet or loud?"

"Quiet."

"Alright, did you take a left or right at the targets location when you left?"

"I took a left."

"Good, keep driving until you reach a gas station, there are no cameras. Someone will be waiting."

"Copy."

Leo closed the phone and snapped it in two before putting it in his pocket.

"Too risky to leave in the car."

Leo kept driving for a solid while until he reached a desolated gas station.

He parked the car he had a bit away from it and headed into the restrooms that were disconnected from the main building.

No one was at the gas station yet.

The first thing Leo did was shapeshift forms.

The usual bone cracking sounds could be heard, but he couldn't care less.

Leo took off the blazer and kept wearing the blouse before tearing the blazer into pieces and flushing it.

"You can never be too sure."

Leo waited in the restrooms for twenty more minutes, listening if he could hear anything.

After a while longer he heard a car driving over gravel coming to a stop.

Leo waited a bit longer and the car did not leave.

Leo exited the restrooms, looking around.

A red Nissan was waiting with a normal man sitting inside, making direct eye contact with Leo.

Leo kept eye contact until the man signaled with his head to come over.

"Time to dip."
