It's midnight and the hotel lights are shining into the street but it's still dark enough that you wouldn't be able to see me sitting in the grass. There's one guy out the back of the building illuminated by a cigarette and a crappy little light above his head. The back door opens for a minute. Someone pokes their head round and says something to the guy outside he shuffles off out of the late and becomes a shape in the darkness. He draws closer to me. I draw a silenced handgun and fire a shot aiming for his head. He hits the floor quietly. I start to walk over towards where his body fell. There is minimal blood. I placed the shot perfectly and I dragged his body far enough away that no one would see what I did next. I open the boot of my car. The lights inside turn on and I slide the body into the back. Closing the boot afterwards. I get back in my car and turn the keys in the ignition. The car purrs to life and I drive away like nothing happened.
