Alexei found his way back into surgery. The pain didn't stop, but it was more manageable. There were moments of unbearable pain, but he dealt the best he could with what he had. He was able to focus more and train where he needed to. After a plethora of failed practice missions, his final training mission was here. Anatoly had set Alexei up on the outskirts of Moscow. He had taught Alexei how to keep emergencies hidden in case they were needed. He had men inside the city as well, there for follow Alexei's moves. Alexei's mission was in there along with the men watching. He had to keep out of view and find his mission without civilians expecting what he was doing.

Alexei sat locked to a chair in the back of a military vehicle with Sokolov giving him directions. "Your mission." Sokolov said as he unlocked Alexei and handed him the folder. It gave Alexei the details he needed to complete the mission. He learned to not rely on his implants and thoroughly studied the information on the paperwork. Alexei looked at Sokolov. "It's a lot to take in. I know. Anatoly wants this done correctly." Sokolov insisted. Alexei nodded his head as he continued to look through the paperwork. He was given information on locations he had been spotted at and so forth. The vehicle stopped as Alexei handed the folder back. He was unlocked completely as he got out of the back of the vehicle. Anatoly stood waiting for him. Alexei had on a black biker jacket with Kevlar and leather for some protection. His hood up and his face covered with a half skull mask to cover his identity.

Anatoly handed him several weapons as Alexei put them on himself. "You have thirty-six hours to find them. This is no longer a training mission for you. Leo and the three other men have been seen working with non-allies. We want you to take out Leo and the men looking for you. They are your enemies now. I want confirmed deaths and no witnesses." Anatoly demanded. "You give me thirty-six hours to complete this?" Alexei stated in shock. "You want me to drop it to twenty-four hours. No other assassin would argue with a decent timeframe as you get. I understand you are still learning. I expect this to be completed." Anatoly demanded. Alexei nodded his head as he began his journey into the city.

He remembered the places they were hiding in as he made his move to the first location. He listened for any little sounds as he ran around the back alleys and on rooftops. He kept an eye out for anything suspicious to him. Nothing went through his mind besides completing the mission. He made his way near the center of the city. His first target was on the roof across the street as he kept himself hidden and watched the man from below. He watched the man's every move and what was going on around him. He prepared for the kill. His bullets no longer blank. He looked around the windows of the building to make sure he was not in the eyesight of anyone. He listened to cars moving along and the sounds of pedestrians in the streets. He looked at the ground to make sure nothing would be in his path to trigger the target to investigate the sound. He quietly made his way to the other side of the street. He stood underneath the fire escape as he examined his surroundings and the fire escape. He knew it would make too much noise. He couldn't take it. He looked through the windows of the building. Entering the building wasn't an option, it was full of apartments.
