The Shots of A Veteren
I was a veteran. Taking lives so you didn’t have to. Running point. It was, well, certainly an uncertain job. My life is on the line for something I didn’t believe in. I pulled the tightly woven fibres of this man-made weapon tighter and let the life shattering projectile fly only to find that I had hit the bullseye. I soon became the champion. I was living a double life archer by day, Green Beret by night.
I got a job for a night-op. Taking a target down was no easy task but I was sure this one would be a memory that sticks. I was after newcomer mafia hitman “Darion Fife”. His portfolio was short yet gave me everything I needed to know. A smaller figure and of medium appearance. I still have Something I need to do before I go chasing hitmen though.
An archery competition. What do you know, my target was there. I heard “Darion Fife” over the speakers. He performed well. Time ambushed me and before I knew it I shot my shot, it ripped through the air tearing me apart in anxiousness every second it flew. My eyes reveal my failure. He was smug with the win and gave the speech at the end. He said we all have different ways of doing things, you do things your way and I do things my way. I feel his presence staring into my soul. “He won't be smug soon”. I whisper.
I'm in Dallas Texas. Which is the last place you want to be while taking on a newcomer as you have no clue where they may be. I locate my target in a motel at 0100. My company, Charlie, sent marines in to clear the building at 0000 warning of the assault. Making my move I know my target is declared to be in room 29 of floor 2. The complex is big and so are the rooms. That makes my job a whole lot easier as I can go for a stealth approach.
I push the door open, finding him unconscious, I slam my hand down on his throat and tell him I know what you're here for, and I'm gonna make sure you don't get it. My marines stand behind me and wait for the call. We stood him against the balcony and let a 7.62x39 rip through his skull. We let the janitor know on the way out we hit a “bullseye”.
