Chapter 1- For Queen and Country
*23rd October 2014, Piz Gloria, the Schilthorn, Switzerland *
The plan to kill Doctor Hannes Riekker was a simple one, pretend to be a tourist and drop several drops of odourless and colourless poison into his drink as I passed. Unfortunately after the failed assassination attempt of two weeks ago in Florence, Italy, the good Doctor had become a little paranoid, annoyingly.
The assassin watched as the doctor poured a vial of liquid into his alcoholic drink and saw the colour turn a deep red. The doctor dropped the drink like it stung him and looked around wildly as tourists jumped at the sound of glass smashing onto the hardwood floor of the restaurant, which had now started to rotate. The assassin reacted like the other tourists and looked shocked whilst masking his annoyance, deciding to resort to Plan B.
Walking up to the doctor with wide eyes, the assassin pretended to look confused, but that's when things really went wrong. The Doctor looked at the assassin, dead in the eye as he was walking towards him…..
….and smirked.
"Hab Dich!" (Found you) and the world exploded.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
The assassin coughed and felt a heavy object on his chest; opening his eyes the assassin looked at the hazy world around him, debris and bodies were strewn everywhere, he looked down at the object keeping him pinned to the floor to see it was part of the table the doctor had be stood at. Easily pushing the table off, the assassin got to his feet. Slowly moving through the rubble and stepping over the mangled corpses in front of him, he looked at the area that the doctor had stood a few minutes before.
There was no sign of the Doctor or even a body, like the area he had just pushed himself up from it seemed like a small bomb had gone off. That's when it clicked; there wasn't any shrapnel from a bomb. The assassin waved his hand and the area shimmered slightly.
"Ah"
He waved his hand again, this time the assassin smirked. He twisted on the spot and disappeared into thin air. Reappearing on a road, he looked around and saw three large vehicles moving away from him down a snaking hill very quickly, gathering his bearings he walked to the barrier and looked over it down beneath him, he saw the road twisting and turning he looked right to see the convoy of black Land Rovers approach the area underneath the assassin.
Cracking his neck, the assassin calmly vaulted over the barrier and counted to five before stepping over the edge. A heartbeat later he landed on the front 4x4 automatically rolling forwards and at the same time pulling a pistol out, putting the barrel on the window-screen on the driver's side he pulled the trigger.
The vehicle gave a lurch to the right, the assassin bounded onto the roof and leaped forward before twisting and vanishing again only seconds later appearing on the roof of the third car. This time the driver started to swerve purposely trying to rid of the assassin but somehow the man on the roof of the car stood with his legs slightly bent as if it was stationary.
The lead car that now had a driver with a bullet hole in his forehead and three screaming colleagues hit the barrier to its right making it flip over and vanish downwards.
The assassin aimed his pistol in the general direction of the men in the car and fired 4 shots killing them all, he twisted on the spot to then reappear in the middle car next to a frightened but very much alive Dr Riekker.
"Guten Abend Dr Riekker" (Good Evening Dr Riekker) The assassin shot the goon in the front passanger seat and trained his pistol onto the driver but didn't fire. Behind, the third car slammed into the wall completely crumpling the left side.
"Wer sind Sie?!" (Who are you?!) the doctor asked, the assassin stared at him for a second before grabbing his left arm and tearing at the doctors shirtsleeve. A black skull with a snake coming out of its mouth was tattooed onto the man's forearm. The assassin raised an eyebrow.
"Ein Todesser der mit Muggeln arbeitet? Was würde Ihr Bossm nur davon halten? " (A Death Eater working with Muggles? What would your boss think?) The assassin grinned and the last thing Doctor Hannes Riekker saw before he died was a barrel of the assassin's pistol.
