the kill part 2
i stopped. looking hard at the target, i observed that my blonde target had black hair roots. a decoy! i almost killed the wrong person. i released the trigger and turned off the safety. in a moment of sheer funk i decided to keep the gun. dismantling it and keeping it in the case took 30s, and i proceeded to walk down the stairs to my rendezvous.
something was wrong. i could sense it. if people had a sixth sense mine was trained to detect danger. i could smell it in the air. i walked a further 6 blocks down, and then proceeded to walk slowly to my safehouse, thinking hard about how my organisation made the mistake. how could they not know that the target was not going to show up? or did they know it, and wanted me to take down the decoy? to send a signal that sending a decoy would be condemning him to a death sentence?
did they know that i was going to kill the wrong person? they had an insider that provided reliable information. did he turn against them this time? as the questions were spinning in my head, i approached the block where the safehouse was. the moment i saw my apartment building i knew what had happened. 4 patrol cars were surrounding the entrance and only 2 officers were at the base. i assumed the rest were raiding my apartment.
i was betrayed by my organisation. or by my contact. no one else could do this.
i did not blow the patrol cars up and slay the police, that only happens in movies. i walked off and pondered my next move.
reality has hit me hard. my target did not show up today. i was training hard for this moment. psyching myself up, playing the visuals over and over again. and i almost made the mistake of a wrong kill. now i have to plan the next step. i have to go through my contacts and decide on who i can trust. and i will find my target again. i have never failed in a mission, and i will not fail this time either.
and i will not let those who betray me off. do you watch movies? there is a movie, fulltime killer, where there is a scene, just like this. tok tells fat ice, when the organisation betrays a killer, the killer will pay the organisation back two times more. you haven't? go get a copy!
