A/N: Since names usually weren't mentioned in this film, here's a good idea for you--Paz is the big poo-bah assassin. The project following Treadstone. The guy at Waterloo.
They pull Paz back from the top of the building, walk him down to the Induction Hall and tell him to go home. One of the men eyes him almost critically, as if checking for cracks or leaks, but Paz gives away nothing.
He is Blackbriar. He is untouchable.
They don't mention the man who just leapt ten stories to nothing, and he doesn't mention the target's last words. They all go home to their respective homes and houses to file their paperwork and their lies and nothing more is said than that.
But Paz is Blackbriar.
And Blackbriar starts thinking. He doesn't tell them anything (though chances are, his position is to be terminated soon), but he begins to evaluate what's going on around him and what his gut's telling him.
Blackbriar has a feeling that Cain is still alive.
Well? Maybe not.
But alive?
Most certainly.
Paz drives his car down below the main building and carefully walks down to the shore of the Hudson.
It's dark, and he can barely see anything above the circle of the flashlight, but Paz crouches down next to the lapping waves of the Hudson and notices a pair of wet footprints and blood.
He knows who it is. He doesn't even need to think about it.
But Paz – Paz doesn't instantly go into hunter-mode, evaluating where Cain could've gone, vanished and how fast he can get to him.
Instead, Paz cleans up the site.
He finds a bucket, dumps water all over the footprints.
He makes sure the blood has diluted, bled back down into the river from whence it came.
He sprays some ammonia (yes, he carries everything in his little black-bag) over the area.
And then Paz carefully walks back to his car, turns off the flashlight, and gets in.
Paz pauses a moment.
Smiles.
And then drives off.
When he is asked about the position of his target the next morning, Paz informs his superior confidently that the target is dead.
They don't ask him about it twice.
