"Aren't you cutting it close going in that early?" Pierre asked Nick. "No its better if I get to the location early so I'll be ready when it gets dark enough." Nick explained to the computer technician. "Yeah he does this all the time" Alex stated. "Nick lets go over the plan one more time" Dieter said. "I'm going to scale the alley way here" Nick said pointing to the U shape alley. "Then sneak in the third story window and scale the elevator shaft to the top floor; there's an air duct that leads to the roof. I'll wait till nightfall and, since he's on the top floor, I'll enter through the balcony", he explained as he traced his route though the holowprints. "I'll wait in his room and, when he comes back, I'll grab him, dope and drug him up, then push him off the balcony. Since he was a crackhead, the story will be that he thought he could fly or something." Nick finish.
As Nick waited in his prey's room, he wonder where his target could be. "He's late." Nick said over the comm. "I don't know, what could be taking him so long?", Alex replied. "I don't kn-" "Nick, Romeo Echo Delta!" Dieter interrupted. "SHIT!", Nick said as he move to his second hiding place in the hotel suite. "I thought the fam was pose to get here in the morn." Nick stated. "They was, but they took an earlier flight." Pierre inform him. "Hope you got a backup man", Alex said. "When don't I" Nick said as he remembered the discussion him and Dieter had before he left.
Flashback
"Do you have a plan in case the family shows up?", Dieter asked Nick. "Yeah, I always got a backup man" Nick replied. "Good, lets hear it then...that's an order too". "If the fam shows it's the same, except its the wife that I'll drug up and make it look like he took advantage of the local "wildlife", know what I mean. The world know that the same thing happened bout fife years ago and she took a shot or two at him with a .38, missed him by a meter or so, but still she did shoot at him", Nick told Dieter. "And what about the kid Nick"? "I don't leave witnesses", Nick coldly replied.
End Flashback
As the Kazakhstani General and his family entered their room, Nick saw that the kid was asleep. "Good that's one less problem for time being", he thought. As the wife took her daughter to the bedroom, her husband went to put up the takeout box in the refrigerator. Nick waited in the bedroom closet, his suppressed M9A1 in hand. "I'm going to put my coat up honey" the woman said in Russian. As she reached to open closet door, Nick tightened his grip on his pistol. "Damn", Nick thought, as she opened the door. She didn't notice Nick wedged at the closet's roof. As she put her coat up Nick thought "Thank God she hasn't notice me". Then she shut the door and went to bed with her husband. A few hours later Nick came out of the closet and saw his prey. He then snuck into the kitchen and found a butcher knife. Taking the knife he stealthily approach the General. Slowly kneeling and placing his gloved left hand centimeters above the General's mouth. Holding the knife in a vertical reversed grip above the General's throat. He then put his hand over the General's mouth and thrust the knife into his neck killing the General. He then moved to the wife's side of the bed stabbing her in the heart. Then he picked up the wife's corpse. Holding it in front of his body as he slash and stabbed the General's lifeless body. He laid the wife's corpse down in a "natural" position. As he added the evidence he heard a toilet flush. "What the frig". He then heard footsteps on the hardwood floor. Using the optic cable he looked into the hall just in time to see the kid's door shut. He waited about twenty mikes and then opened the door and stealthy walked down the hall. As he squatted outside the kid's door and pulled the optic cable out of its pouch. Using it to peer into the room he saw the kid sound asleep. "Better make sure" Nick thought as he watched the kid for a few more mikes. He left the suite the same way he came. "Mission accomplish at PP come retrieve me" Nick ordered. "I'm coming man." Alex answered. "Nick when you get to Hotel Quebec I'll DB you. I'll also brief you on you next miss so don't get to cocky."
