The sounds of pants and rapid footsteps break the silence in Singapore's lit streets lacking cars and pedestrians. Alone, Caleb Goh jogs down the road, his watch beeping as he keeps moving, sweat dripping down his forehead and face. He pushes himself, moving a bit faster for about 5 minutes before halting as he takes time to catch his breath. Looking at his watch, he sees the time and his BPM.
(Pretend it says 200 instead of 145. As for the distance, pretend it says 10.01 KM)
Caleb keeps panting, bending over, hands on his knees as he catches his breath. He stands upright, untying his hair with the band around his wrist as he pulls it back together. He uses the band, tying his hair into a ponytail before looking to the right to see that he's stopped outside of Takashimaya, a mall in Orchard Road in Singapore.
The mercenary stands upright, stretching his back before walking forward. He sits on the steps to the mall, just by some plants as he exhales, looking ahead of him, across the street at another mall, Paragon. He stands up a minute later, now walking. He wipes some sweat off his nape as he walks down the pavement. He walks away from Takashimaya, now making his way by the hotel, Hilton.
The same hotel where he had to kill some Las Almas Cartel narcos.
He keeps walking down the road, letting out an exhausted sigh as he takes time to cool down. Whilst walking, his phone, which is in an armband on his right arm, rings. He stops walking and begins to answer it, taking it out of the armband.
Caleb: "Hello?"
Then, a man's voice with a bit of a French accent speaks through it.
???: "Goh."
Recognizing it, the mercenary responds.
Caleb: "Dubois. It's been a while. Why are you calling me?"
Yves: "I'm hiring you. It's urgent, Goh."
