The Tale Of The Assassin

Contract 1: James Smelting

On the 8th of August at 12:15pm, Josh was heading to his old school Carmeo academy, his visit was strictly business, after the job was complete he would never return to the school. He was simply there for one thing... death. The targets name was James Smelting. A short while later Josh met up with his associate, Rebecca's son Peter, what he found funny was Peter had been Josh's friend ever since he had started at the school, and not once did he expect that Peter was a killer.

'Your target is currently in English' Peter said 'You have one hour before he leaves.'

'Understood' Josh replied

Josh then drew his favourite weapon, a P-99 pistol, one of the two he owned. Josh began walking away when Peter grabbed his arm.

'Josh don't act rashly' He said, then 'good luck'

Josh nodded he knew the rules never kill for personal reasons when on assignment.

Josh found there was only one problem with the school, during class guard details roamed the halls looking for stray students, they were equipped with stun batons and stun guns. As he made his way to the target he ran into one such detail, before they could do anything four silenced shots rang through the hallways and four bodies crumpled to the ground. He began to hide bodies just as an announcement came over the P.A calling for an entire school assembly, Josh started running towards the hall and re-thought his plan.

It was almost time for the kill. Josh was in the rafters above the assembly and ready to rappel down to finish the contract but he wanted to know why the assembly had been called in the first place, the principal Mrs Christy Whales was the sole figure on stage.

'Attention staff and students' she said

Josh could almost feel the anticipation coming from the students, but that didn't concern him or the sniper rifle he was holding.

'Sorry for the interruption to classes but, we have just discovered a guard detail murdered'

'Okay' he thought 'so it does concern me'

'We would very much appreciate it if any of you could bring us infor-'

That was all she got to say before Josh dropped down and landed on stage.

All he heard was the silence.

'Who a...are you' Mrs Whales whispered

Josh surveyed the room until he found James; he then brought up his rifle.

'I am Assassin 088 and I am a monument to all your sins'

He squeezed the trigger and watched the blood spray from the wound in James's head.

Then he ran.
