The night was dark. The sky threatened to spill, as a chill swept down around the entire city. Darkness moved all around as the sky opened up.
Lightning lit the sky, illuminating the faces of passer by's. Darrell seemed overly cautious. Even nervous. Something about this night was amiss.
The sound of thunder shook him, sending a shiver up his spine. The chill, he thought, wasn't the reason.
Another burst of light shone through the sky. Only, this time, when the thunder cracked, he swore he felt as if something had struck him in his chest.
He ran his fingers across the place he had felt something hit him, and peered at them. They were covered in blood.
As she fired, in time with the thunder, Keirra couldn't help but realize that it had become second nature. She had done so, so many times before, that she fired without even thinking about when the thunder would sound. After all, this is what she was raised to do. A seventh generation assassin. And she was very good at it.
She watched, as he noticed the wound. She watched as he fell, not a soul paid him any mind. Truth be told, she hadn't expected them to. They would surely never have noticed.
Five-hundred thousand. That was how much Darrell was worth dead. More, when you counted what he had been up too. Mony laundering. Extortion. These things aren't looked upon very well.
Keirra packed up the rifle and headed out, long before the first scream. She had some cleaning to do, and time was of the essence.
