Prologue.
Ria looked through the scope from her position three miles out. She could clearly see the traitor shake hands with Vincent Vergo, the mob boss. King of the underground trafficking business, briber of half the city’s politicians, and the man with a bullet with his name on it.
“Come in Fox, have you got sights on the targets? Over,” a broken voice came over the radio earpiece.
“Hound, I have sights. Over.” She fixed the gun tighter to her shoulder.
“You will rid of the traitor, then Vergo. Don’t bother with the guards. Afterwards you will proceed to the base. Am I clear? Over.”
Ria rolled her eyes. They had stayed up all night hashing out all the details, so she knew them like the back of her hand now. She needed to make these shots perfect—they were the keys to promotion. These shots couldn’t miss.
“Clear as day. Over.” She looked through her scope and found his head. Her ex-lieutenant looked calm as he spoke to Vergo. He could even laugh and make it look real. She wondered how long he had been lying to them for.
“Fox, wind is at 17 miles per hour, distance is exactly 3.1 miles.” There was a pause over the receiver as she waited for the orders. “Nail that bastard. And be safe. Over.”
Ria ginned as she took aim, adjusting the scope to the current wind. She followed the traitor’s head for a moment to make sure she had him. Exhale.
Fire.
Before his body could fall limp she had sights on Vergo. Before the grin could leave his lips a bullet was traveling through his head.
She didn’t have time to celebrate her victory—the guards were already jumping into trucks. Ria threw the gun over her shoulder and quickly gathered her things. Within seconds she was running back to base.
