The news shows like to depict Sudden Death Army members as nutjobs. There’s nothing insane about us. All of our operations are coordinated, with specific outcomes mapped out. Every detail of an assassination is planned. My last one, in Manhattan, took four months to set up. Once I had found the right apartment to shoot from, I got to know the girl who lived there well enough that she eventually gave me my own key.
On the day of the assassination, I told her she should go out of town.
Sloppy, I know, but she didn’t take the advice anyway.
Shades of Oswald. But then,…whatEVER.
Two bodies for the price of one
Good story.
Oh no. So did he end up killing her too? Or was she the one who got shocked?
She should have listened.
A mistake she didn’t live to regret, I suspect!
Oh my! I’m glad we didn’t have to see how she ended!
Love the matter of fact tone of this piece.
glad to know I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a wonderful window for an assassin. Too bad about the girl, tho
Nicely told. I gather the young woman mistook attention for something more so she stayed.
Great lead in.
