The Assassins Job {Mafiatale}

They were stopped

The sky was darkening over the city and a small breeze filled the air around her, giving her some comfort on top of the lonely rooftop. She sucked in a deep breath and kept her eyes trained on the roadways below her, the occasional couple or group making their ways up and down the sidewalks on both sides of the roads. The people making their way through the night however were not of any real interest to her, her focus of interest was yet to come. 

She took another deep breath and reached her hand up and adjusted the hood of her Victorian-style cloak. The rifle slung over her shoulder slipped from its resting place on her back and found its way into her hands as the sound of tires coming filled the monster's ears and car headlights came into view. A pair of black Suburbans rumbled down the street. She adjusted her position from the rooftop, shoved the fully loaded clip into the gun, and looked down the scope.  From what she could see there were two people in the front of each vehicle and least two in the back seat. She rolled her shoulders in anticipation and took aim at the front car driver. The monster took a deep breath and held it as she pulled the trigger. She let out the held breath, pulled back the bolt to the rifle, releasing the smoking bullet shell from the chamber, and slid the bolt back into place, a new bullet in the chamber. She quickly took aim once more and shot the driver of the second car who had swerved to avoid the now stopped first car. 

Both shots hit their marks and both cars were effectively stopped in the middle of the street. The shooter loaded their rifle once more and slung it over her shoulder once more. She stood up and reached to her side. Her sidearm, a pistol, was now in hand. Dropping down to a small window ledge below her, she watched as the doors to both of the cars opened and men in black suits with pistols in hand quickly jumped out of the cars and ran for cover. The monster raised her pistol and quickly opened fire on the men, successfully eliminating two. She lowered her pistol and returned it back to her side, slipping from the window ledge to the ground as quickly as possible as the surviving men opened fire. She hit the ground and dove for the nearest parked car on the side of the road, bullets whipped through the air around her and gunshots could be heard throughout the whole block. Pistol back in hand, she grits her teeth and screamed loudly. The gunshots quickly stopped and footsteps rapidly approached her position behind the car. 'They really think they hit me at all with that lousy shooting?' She mused.

The monster grinned and pushed herself underneath the car and to the other side. "Where the hell did he go?" She grinned and pulled herself from underneath the car, her targets on the opposite side. She wordlessly stood and fired a few rounds before dropping back to the ground. The two remaining men cursed loudly as their companions dropped the ground. They hunkered down on the opposite side of the car. All was silent for a moment before one of the men raised their voices, "What do you want?" She leaned her head against the car and grinned, amusement filling her, "What do you boys think I want? I want to kill you." She could feel the fear fill around her, "You're a contract killer? Who's your client? Whatever he's paying, I'm sure we can pay double!" Her grin widened as she sat up and looked under the car, "Unless you ladies have a lifetime supply of girl scout cookies and a can of whip cream on hand, you can forget paying higher than my client." She aimed at the pair of frightened men and shot them from underneath the car. Both cried out in pain, one was struck in the low spine and was leaning against the car, trying frantically to get to his feet. The other had been struck in the leg and was trying to limp his way across the sidewalk and into the nearby alleyway. The girl sighed contently, stood up, walked around the car and shot the other man in the head, cutting off his pleas of mercy. She hummed to herself as she took the clip out of the pistol and reached into her pocket, pulling out a new and full clip. She shoved it into the pistol and walked slowly after the man limping into the alley. She raised her pistol once more and shot at his shoulder, the man cried out and toppled to the ground, he cried as he drags himself across the rough asphalt of the alley.
