Chapter 6: A Deadly Accident

I looked at the e-mail again, not sure I wanted to take the job. Killing someone was easy, but making it look like an accident was not. I finally shrugged; I could use a challenge. I accepted and waited until the money had been deposited before making plans. My target was in Germany, in a small alpine town.

I slipped over the Alps and bought a rail pass. In a larger city, I picked up the car I had arranged for and drove the rest of the way. I was staying in a small guesthouse and began my surveillance. My target was wealthy and had a lot of patterns, but I threw them all away as fast as I thought them up. I had tiny wireless cameras watching everything he did.

Finally, I decided where his accident would happen. Every morning, he went to the town sportsplatz and worked out with weights. His guards had gotten into a rhythm that was lax. They checked the locker room and showers before leaving him alone. I slipped into the laundry room at the sportsplatz and ducked under the opening into the locker room.
