Sitting on a plane destined for London, England, Hunter plugs his headphones into his laptop for Agatha's briefing.1
"Hello Hunter, Agatha speaking. Your next target is Bartholemeu Bedingfield. An english chemist, he is working for a rival organization. It seems cloning has come a long way over the years. Our rivals have hired Dr. Bedingfield to figure out some way to clone their assassins. If this were to happen it could prove to be quite a problem for our agency Hunter. The organization Dr. Bedingfield works for is the English Center for Environmental Improvement. Most believe them to have scientists working on cures for diseases or a possible solution to global warming but it is just a cover for a contract agency. The ECEI operates out of a skyscraper in London. The adress is 444 Wembley Street. It is a very tall structure Hunter, hard to miss. Our intel has revealed that Dr. Bedingfield works from a private lab on the 45th floor. The building is heavily guarded so you must be extremely cautious when conducting this mission. The easiest entrance is through the back, there is less security. When Bedingfield is dead be sure to destroy the complex with a bomb we have placed for you at the airport. Good luck Hunter.". 2
Hunter arrives at the airport, with his weaponry on a briefcase in the baggage claim. He travels to a hotel to prepare for his mission. He goes over some maps of the building and loads up his weapons. As always he has his custon Silverballers and his W2000 Snper Riffle with him. He also has an MP5 in case things get messy. The last piece of weaponry was the bomb Agatha has instructed him to use to destroy the building once Dr. Bedingfield was dead. 3
Hunter travels by taxi to the building. He gets out and walks to the back entrance of the skyscraper. He finds two guards watching the door. Hunter draws one of his silver ballers and twists on the silencer. He approaches the guards and kills them with two shots from the pistol. Disposing of the bodies in a nearby dumpster, he then steals the clothing off one of the guards and takes his MP5 with him. Hunter had placed the bomb in a lunch box he had purchased to drive away suspicion from the security force. 4
Hunter walks through the door into the main lobby. He finds the elevator and rides it up to the 45th floor. He exits the elevator to see quite an unusual thing. There was a single security officer guarding each room on the floor. Hunter thought quickly and came up with a plan. "Gentlemen, Dr. Bedingfield forgot his lunch in the lobby may you direct me to his room!?" shouts Hunter across the hall. "Down here sir." replies a guard waving his arms from down the hall. Nodding, Hunter approaches the guard. "Thank you, I will bring it in for him." says the guard. Hunter waits as the officer opens and closes the door with him inside, he then pulls his Silenced Silverballer and shoots Dr. Bedingfield in the forehead.5
The easy part was long gone, now Hunter puts the bomb in Bedingfield's office.Hunter calmly makes his way across the secured hall and down the stairs reaching the lobby goes out the way he came with no suspicion at all from the part of the guards. Hunter goes down the busy sidewalk and ducks behind a giftshop. Pulling out the detonator, he presses the bright red button. He exits out of his cover to see the 45th floor of the ECEI building go up in flames, and goes back to his rental car.6
"Good job Hunter, our client is most pleased with your work. The ECEI is no longer a problem." says Agatha as Hunter sits on an airport bench waiting for the arrival of his flight. Hunter closes his laptop, another day another dollar.

This, like everything else you write is really good. This reminds me of the Hitman game series, which is one of my favorites. I noticed that you never got into Hunter's head at all during the story. I understamd that he is a fairly one-dimensional stock character type, but it would still be interesting to get into his head and hear his nonchalant thoughts, while say, he's blowing up a building. Great writing!
