[Name]'s POV

Nate, Elena, and I walk out through the hole in the wall- onto the roof, when I spot five soldiers below.

"You two go down. I'll cover you," I say while setting up my sniper rifle and aiming at the guard with heavy armor. 'Too bad that won't protect you against my bullet' I mentally chuckle while aiming at his head.

I pull the trigger and the bullet goes through his helmet and hits his head, making him collapse to the ground. The other four guards pull out their guns and look around, when I take down another one with a headshot.

"On the roof!" one of them finally spots me, and I put a bullet through his forehead.

The other two turn to shoot me, but Elena and Nate take them out before they get the chance. "All clear," I say while slinging the gun on my back.

"All right, let's head to that water tower," Elena states, and I join them on the ground.

We run over to a wall with a ladder on it and climb up to the top. "There's a fire escape. Nate, can you boost me?" I ask and he nods and crouches down under it.

I place my foot in his hands, and he boosts me up onto the ladder. I climb up it and kick the lever, releasing the rest of the ladder for my two friends. Nate and Elena climb up the rungs, and I jump over the railing of the fire escape to the the second story floor of a destroyed building. The other two follow me over the railing, and I run over to a steel gate. I try to open it, but it only shakes due to being locked.

"I'll find another way around," I say while turning around and running to the edge of the floor. I jump onto a sign and crawl onto a street light.

"All those years in the circus are paying off," Elena jokes and I laugh while swinging to the next sign.

"I may be the one from the circus, but you two are the ones behind bars," I say while climbing over the sign and pulling out my gun. I shoot the wooden boards that block the door from opening, and when the last one breaks my two friends open the door.

"We've got company!" Nate shouts and some soldiers appear.

I quickly climb back over the sign and use it as cover while shooting at the guards. Nate shoots an oil can and explodes it, killing two guards while I shoot the last two in the chest. A red laser lands beside me on the sign, and I quickly jump over to the other side to avoid being shot.

"There's soldiers over here!" I shout while shooting the guy with the laser sight on his gun. One of the soldiers peeks out from behind a wall, and I shoot him in the head, killing him instantly. Another soldier pops up from behind a crate and I shoot him a few times in the chest.

"They're behind us!" Elena shouts and I drop down onto a lower sign and start shooting at the soldiers that show up.

Nate and Elena start firing their guns at the men and we take out all of them quickly. I see Nate and Elena jump to another landing and they lower a walkway for me. I look over my shoulder before jumping off the sign and grabbing onto the edge of the walkway. I pull myself up, and jog across to Elena and Nate who wait for me.

"I can't wait until this is all over," I say while walking under a doorway- over to a ladder.

"That's what you say every time," Nate snickers and I roll my eyes.

"At least on the jobs I arrange, I get the treasure, so it's worth it," I say and Elena 'oh's'.

"[Name] just snapped," she says, and Nate mutters some profanities, before following me up the ladder.
