Chapter 2: Killing a Terrorist

It was a week later that I answered an e-mail. I smiled at the header and clicked on the link. The new e-mail gave me a new target. I read the information and responded by accepting.

This time I did research. The target was a little-known terrorist. I used a roundabout means to enter Jordan. Even though the government wanted this man, they seemed to ignore the fact that he was there. This time I was not going to use poison or make it look like an accident. The person that was paying the contract wanted revenge, which meant visible and violent.

It did not really take that much to find my target. He was being protected by over two dozen men in an isolated villa. I did some research on the cameras they were using for security. I slipped into a few places late at night to get what I needed. Like most terrorists, they do not stay in one place long. After a day spent making suppressors for weapons I had acquired, I was ready.

I slipped the pack on and silently left the stolen car. I turned the wireless jammer on for the cameras and moved to the low wall around the villa. I waited and then brought up the short-barreled rifle with the long suppressor. The two guards’ deaths were almost quiet; the sound of two shots was like quiet coughs. I went over the wall quickly and moved to check the men.
