Simon grins as he watches the body of a Tyger Claw crumple to the ground through the scope of his rifle, leaking blood and brain matter onto the pavement beneath them. Their two friends go on high alert, pointing their weapons every which way, seeking whoever fired that shot. They won’t find him, though, a few rooftops over, at least not in time.
“Stay tuned, angel,” he says into his comms. “That’s not all I’ve got in me.” He swivels his aim to the left and then to the right, firing off two more shots in quick succession—dead and dead, no time for them to react and mourn each other.
Simon cackles delightedly. He holds loyalty to no one, a contract killer in it less for the eddies and more for the fearful reactions of others when their friends and coworkers suddenly flop dead next to them. If people need an efficient marksman who will work for lower pay without sacrificing the quality of his performance, they turn to him. Hell, he might take a contract for the Tyger Claws tomorrow since it is unlikely they will connect him to this for a while yet.
“All right, love, entrance appears clear—means you’re up.” He sits up and starts folding the supports of his rifle. “I’m repositioning, I’ll let you know when I arrive at the next location.”
