Camping.
Clint raced around the Jeep opening her door he held out a hand to help Natasha down. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek as she stepped out of the car. Clint reached down and pulled out a green hiking bag he easily tossed on his shoulders.
"So Mrs. Rasmussen which trail should we take?" Clint asked wrapping an arm around Tasha's waist. She stood looking down at her small paper map then up at the big trail map. They both glanced over as two men and a woman came down the trail. The woman smiled at them then helped unhook the bicycles from the tree.
"This one seem the best one." Tasha smiled up at Clint and pointed at one.
"Excellent choice, I will make an outdoors woman out of you yet!" Clint laughed as they started up the hill. They heard chuckles from the bicyclist as they left.
The two "newlyweds" hiked up and around the trail. When they got to the top of the small mountain (some might call a big hill) and had a great view of the valley Clint nudged Tasha and pointed his chin down animal game trail that followed the ridge away from the marked human trail. Tasha nodded and let him lead. Neither spoke a word as they hiked till they would not be seen from the human trail. Clint kneeled down and pulled out a case from his hiking bag and quickly put together his sniper rifle. He then glared down at the slate before carefully lying prone on the ground. He wiggled slightly before looking down the sight. Tasha pulled out a pair of binoculars the two sat quietly waiting for the target.
An older lady, athlete with a hint of motherly curves to her body. Her white hair pinned back in a bun. She waved to the kids at one of the campsites as she made her way to her own tent.
"Target spotted, one o'clock at noted campsite. Confirm." Clint stated quietly, his voice not even disturbing the birds nearby.
"Confirm, one o'clock, still green." Tasha replied in the same tone. Nothing happened Tasha glanced over at Clint,
"Hawkeye, take out the target." She stated.
"There are kids two campsites down what if they see?" Clint asked his voice slightly forlorn.
"And what do we tell the parents of the kids that will disappear in a week when the Target send her mercenaries to the nearest towns. That's over a thousand children, not counting the parents that don't get knocked out with the gas, Clint do it."
There was a quiet pop from the sniper rifle.
"Call it in Tasha." Clint sat up and started breaking apart his gun. Tasha patted him on the back and called Sitwell.
"I need a vacation." Clint murmured picking up his pack.
"Sitwell will notify the cops when we are out of the park. To check her tent." Tasha murmured as she dredged up the happy go lucky newlywed face.
Clint smiled slightly. "Grazie, sei il migliore.*"
