As we continued to walk through the park I asked Blitzo "So where exactly are we heading? Is it close by to the park?" Blitzo pulled out an old map of New York and then asked "Okay which way are we standing? Carter you have an Earth phone pull out your compass and tell us where we are" I pull out my phone and open up the compass app and the dial turns South and I replied "We're facing South Sir" Blitzo said "Alright well we need to head North East, come on people lets move!" We turned around and began heading North East and and as we began walking I leant over and looked at Blitzo's map, It certainly was old it certainly didn't look modern and my suspicions were confirmed when I looked down at the Lower Manhattan/ Financial District section of the map and I saw the Twin Towers, not the memorial but the actual map of the Twin Towers. I then looked in the bottom right hand corner of the map which was dated 1998!

I then asked Blitzo "Um Sir where exactly did you get this map from?" Blitzo looked up at me for a moment and said "Wha-Oh um in my office I have maps filed from all over the United States, I have been collecting them for a while just in case we go somewhere in which we have never been before such as for this occasion" I then said "You do realize that this is a map from 1998 right? This is 22 years old" Blitzo replied back "Pfft so? This map still has relevancy not much would have changed in 22 years at least nothing massive" I said nothing and just looked at him and then mumbled under my breath "I could think of one very massive thing". We continued to walk until I noticed that we stopped in a circular region of the park and I realized where we was and said "Holy shit guys look where we're standing!" 

Everyone stopped and looked around and said in unison "What?" I replied "You guys we're standing in Strawberry Fields!" They seemingly didn't seem to understand and Millie asked "So what's so special about this Strawberry Fields place in Central Park?" I replied back "Guys this is John Lennon's Memorial, this spot was where Yoko Ono scattered his ashes after he was cremated and they built the memorial on top of it, this technically is his official grave" Blitzo looked down and around him and said "oh yeah? Suppose that's kinda cool but anyway where almost there so come on: I blurted out "Wait let me take a picture of the place first, This is something I wanted to do in life and may never do so again so let me just take a picture of us all" Millie seemed to like the idea and said "Eek a group photo how fun!" And so everyone got into position Millie and Moxxie stood in front, Blitzo stood behind Moxxie and I set my phone on a time and propped it against one of the benches and quickly ran next to Blitzo and then wrapped my arms around then squeezing us all together. Everyone smiled and I guess I might have chocked Moxxie? I heard coughing sounds from him and then the photo was taken. I ran to pick up my phone and laughed, Blitzo ran over and said "What's funny?" and then pointed at the phone and began laughing too, in the picture Blitzo, Millie and I were smiling and then there was Moxxie who had the most funny looking choking look on his face, It looked like that meme of that goofy looking cat who coughed and it's eyes were facing the opposite direction, that's the face Moxxie was making in the photo.

Millie and Moxxie then came over and then Moxxie then said "What're you two laughing abou-oh crumbs" Blitzo then said "Carter send me this shit" I smiled and said "Already did" Blitzo then said "Alright everyone now we've had our fun here now and as I have said before we won't have the cover of night for long so lets continue on with the mission" We all nodded and then began running as we made our way onto the street. For New York the city that never sleeps the street was quiet, no people, no cars, it was weird but I didn't question it as we made our way to an apartment building, it was one of them old brick ones with fire escapes on the façade of the building. Blitzo then said "Alright from that CIA agent the guy lives on the 8th floor, lets use the fire escape and break in". As we approached the fire escape the ladder was out of reach and even I couldn't reach it, I turn to Millie and said "Hey Millie climb up on my shoulders and grab the ladder" Millie saluted and said "On it" and then ran up me and jumped into the air, grabbing a hold of the ladder and then climbed up and then hitting the release levers on either side of the ladder and we watched as the ladder fell down and then we all climbed up. I high fived Millie and then we all began running up the many flights of stairs up till we reach the 8th floor and made our way to the window of the guys apartment.

As we stood outside looking in we saw him typing rapidly on his  keyboard at his computer. Moxxie then asked "Sir this is a pretty small apartment, not to mention other rooms nearby that could hear us-" Millie then added before Moxxie could finish "Not to mention that we would possibly has to kill a lot of witnesses that could cause such a commotion". I then added "not to mention it was easier for the government to cover up the incident in LA, we don't know what would happen if we had to kill an entire apartment complex" Blitzo looked at us three like we're idiots and said "You do realize I have a silenced pistol right? We may have messed up a few times in the past but then again we know what to do, geeze we don't do it for what...A few weeks and we forget how to do it quietly?" Moxie and Millie rubbed their arms in embarrassment and Blitzo slid open the window aggressively causing the guy to turn around and gasp, Blitzo quickdraw' d his silenced pistol and with pinpoint accuracy shot him between the eyes before he could scream, his brains splattering on the moldy walls by his computer. Blitzo spun the pistol around a few times and then put it in his back pocket and said "Well for our first assassination back, I didn't enjoy this one as much...huh".
