Chapter 19: Turning a contract down
I looked at the e-mail and shook my head. When I get an e-mail with no return address, I am always wary. This time they were also offering a lot more than my normal fee, and it was for a man that was very public. I finally turned it down and shut the laptop off. I was in a small chalet in Switzerland. I cleaned up and decided to do some shopping in the village.
When I walked out of the small grocery store, I saw the black SUVs. I walked to the edge of the village and stood with a couple of locals as they looked up the road. The three vehicles were stopped at my chalet, and black-suited men swarmed around and into the building. I shook my head and turned away as I thumbed a small remote in my pocket.
The chalet exploded as I walked down the cobblestone street. I got rid of the bag of groceries before buying cross-country skis. The next morning, I stopped in a small village sixty kilometers away. I bought a ticket on the train and sat back to nap as I headed to the coast. In a small villa on the coast, I pulled out new equipment and clothes.
I left and headed to Paris and a suite in a hotel. I carefully set everything up before going online to the old e-mail account. I waited, and thirty minutes later, two four-man teams hit the hotel. I used a silenced pistol to kill the two men in the hall as I stepped out of the door leading to the stairs.
I walked into the suite and killed four men in the main room before walking towards the bedroom. I killed one man in the bathroom doorway and shot the leader in both shoulders. When I searched him, it was to find a Russian ID. He glared at me as I took his cell and moved to my laptop.
I used a special program and a moment later had the location of everyone he had talked to in the last hour. I walked back to the man and shot him between the eyes. I called a cleaning service and quietly left after moving all the bodies into the suite. Somehow I had thought it was a government, but a check showed the name I was going to as a retired KGB agent.
