I was waiting, looking at the happy family through the lense. I didn't feel any sadness towards the target, only towards his family who would have to see him get assassinated.

"Take the shot in five."

One. He stood up to make a speech.

Two. He kissed his daughter on the forehead.

Three. He raised his glass.

Four. He said he was proud of her.
