On target

This is justice?

The following Saturday, Aiden wakes up and starts the day with a healthy breakfast, consisting of a protein shake and some pancakes with a touch of chocolate. As he enjoys his solitary meal at the table, he reflects on how, occasionally, a little company wouldn't go amiss, missing hearing a simple "good morning" from someone. After finishing his meal and cleaning up around the house, Aiden dedicates himself to a physical workout in his living room. The exercises not only keep his body in shape but also help him focus his mind and release the stress of his missions as a hitman. The exercise routine has become an essential part of his life, providing him with a sense of discipline and balance

Aiden, after taking a shower and drying his hair with a towel, walks over to the table in his house, where the envelope given to him by Burok the night before is waiting. Carefully, he picks up the envelope and begins to examine its contents. On the envelope, he finds the name of the mastermind and the reason behind the mission. Aiden reads the envelope's contents and discovers the mastermind, the target, and the reason behind the mission. The mastermind, Robson Miller, is seeking revenge against the corrupt lawyer Tyler Jackson, who caused his son Gabe to be unjustly sentenced to prison for a tragic accident involving a gun. At a party with a group of friends, a young woman took an unloaded gun to take some photos, and when my son went to take a picture with his best friend where he was pointing the gun at his friend's head, he pulled the trigger and a bullet came out and killed the young man. Gabe suffered a series of abuses in prison and, tormented by the weight of guilt and suffering, took his own life. Now Robson is crying out for justice and wants his lawyer to do the same.

________________________________________________________________________________In the envelope, Aiden finds a photo of the target, a young woman with dark hair and green eyes, whom he immediately recognizes as Juliett. Aiden's heart squeezes, and he is deeply shaken by the mission before him. Aiden, deeply disturbed by the mission he has received, puts on his coat and leaves the house. He sits on the steps of his house, deep in thought and reflecting on what to do next. As he ponders his decision, he observes Juliett and her friend talking to a group of boys, but the situation quickly deteriorates. The boys start bullying Juliett and her friend, and the tension in the air becomes palpable. In a moment of violence, one of the boys pushes Juliett, causing her to fall to the ground, getting all wet and dirty from a puddle where she fell. The group of boys doesn't miss the opportunity to take photos of the young woman in her vulnerable situation, humiliating her even more. 

Aiden, witnessing the scene, feels a mixture of anger and compassion. His mind is torn between the mission he has been given and his desire to protect Juliett from the injustice and cruelty she is suffering. As he ponders his subsequent actions, the situation unfolds before his eyes. Aiden, overcome with rage at witnessing Juliett's humiliation, decides to act. He approaches the group of bullies and grabs one of them, pushing him to the ground. Driven by fury, he punches the aggressor, causing a broken nose and the young man to bleed profusely. 

Gets up, demands the phones of the other young people, and deletes all the videos and photos taken of the young woman, which were being used to humiliate her. The other young people, terrified by Aiden's forceful attitude, obey his orders. He picks up the bully he assaulted and gives him instructions on how to care for his injured nose. He then helps Juliett to her feet and puts his coat around her to protect her from the biting cold. After ensuring that the bullies have gone their separate ways, Aiden offers to take Juliett back to her home, concerned for her well-being.

Juliett, emotionally shaken and in tears, is taken by Aiden to his house in search of comfort. As soon as she enters the house, Aiden puts her on the sofa and starts making her some hot tea to help her calm down. The young woman is shivering, so Aiden fetches some bath towels and hands them to Juliett so she can dry off. He takes her to her room, where she will have more privacy to recover.While Juliett dries her hair and dresses with the towels, Aiden closes the windows in the house to prevent draughts, ensuring that she feels more comfortable and protected. She then begins to share her story, revealing that last night she had run away from home to go to a party with her now ex-best friend, Jessica. There, she was pressured to drink and smoke, but she refused, which led the other teenagers to ask her to pay for the drinks since she wasn't taking part in the activities. Juliett realized that she had only been invited because of her money, and Jessica, who she believed to be different, also humiliated her.Aiden listens to Juliett's story with empathy and understanding, realizing that the young woman has faced a series of difficulties and disappointments. He reassures her and advises her to try to avoid these people as much as possible and try to make new friends with different people. The young woman agrees and thanks Aiden once again for his kindness and understanding, but, curious, she asks if Aiden doesn't have any children. He replies that he doesn't and, after a few briefly answered questions of this kind, the young woman accepts his request for a lift home.

Juliett stands outside her house before getting out of Aiden's car and takes out some large bills from her purse to pay for the man's gesture, but he refuses and says that he doesn't want her money, his company, and improvement to be payment enough. The young woman gets out of the car with a smile on her face and waves happily to Aiden's car, The man reflected his genuine and unconscious attitude in admitting that he had enjoyed the young woman's company, but this reasoning was broken by a call from Burok asking them to meet to start the next mission...
