HITMAN

HAND OF GOD

Sequel to Stirrings

What is God?

Or, to rephrase the question, what is it like to be God?

To giveth….

And taketh away….

Of course, one man knows it all….

To protect someone on a mission….

And kill another on said mission….

.……. ………………………..….One might say he is the hands of the lord……………………………………………

Another lovely day, to be taken for granted, knowing he could be killed any minute, of every hour of every day.

Agent 47 took it in. The hot sun glaring off the hitman's bald head was sure to give a tan if he sat there any longer, not

to mention the heat of his expensive Italian suit he ALWAYS wore, he loosened his tie and undid the top button on his

dress shirt to let some air in. He moved over to a bench under a pine tree in Central Park, New York City. He was

enjoying some time off in the Big Apple, expecting another message from Diana. He watched silently as children

played, and dogs fetched Frisbees, until he felt something vibrate in his pocket. He pulled his cellphone out of his

pocket, and answered. "47," he said. "Hello, 47, Diana here. I have another contract for you. His name is

Mr. James C. Miller, a televangelist from northern Canada, visiting New York for a Christianity seminar at Madison

Square Garden. It seems Mr. Miller has been caught up in work involving our agency, and is looking for more info on

"the urban legend," or in easier terms, you. We cannot let this happen. If he finds out who you are, you and the agency

will be compromised. ""So," 47 said, "another hit sanctioned by the agency, and not by a client, I hope it's the last,

first, Padre Vittorio, and now another religious televangelist, seems like I was made to send the message of God." " I'm

sorry if this agency is causing you grief, 47, but it is of most importance," Diana replied. "I understand. Has my fee

been transferred?" 47 asked.

"Yes, and I've sent you more info on the hit to your cell. Good luck, 47, and stay safe."

"I intend to."

47 hung up, and pressed his text message button, and checked his mail.

Profession: Religious televangelist.

religious message about "hands of god".

1. Miller's guards DO NOT patrol west wing of auditorium

2. There is a light control room on the top floor of the west wing

3. Best option would be a quick sniper routine.

47 entered Madison Square Garden with ease. His favourite rifle, the Walther WA2000, was packed in his foil-

padded case, going through Garden security metal detectors without suspicion. He made his way to an elevator and

pressed the button for the top floor. Inside with him was a bald young man, 20's , 47 suspected. "Hello," the man said.

"You wouldn't happen to be a chemotherapy patient, would you?" the man asked. "No, natural baldness," 47 replied.

The elevator got to the top floor. "Excuse me, I get off here,"47 said. "Good evening."

It didn't take 47 long to reach the light control room, and, surprisingly, no hassle. He unpacked the WA2000,

and assembled it and loaded the clip. As he took aim, Miller was on stage and his speech began. "Hello, everyone. I am

John Miller, and I'm here to talk to you about a dark and unholy presence on this earth. It seems, there are people out

there, who are the sons of Satan, but serving both the devil and the lord. Yes, brothers and sisters, they are a reality and

they are among us…"

A soft crack interrupted the speech. Miller went down in an instant, as if he went before the bullet hit. But it

surely did. There was a hole in the throat of the man lying there, and a crimson pool slowly filling. Yet everyone was

calm, no screaming, no rushing to the exit, just jaws agape at the sight of the blood.

The hitman left. The job was done.

It was good being the hand of God….
