The Assasination

He laid calmly in the tree holding his rifle up to his eye, not moving a muscle. His target came into sight and with a small squeeze and a pop his target was down. A rush of adrenline came over him as he finally moved his legs. His eye’s darted around, there were people coming, he needed to find some way to get out undetected. He decided that he would climb up into the thickness of the tree.
He silently arosed and climbed up the tree as if he were a cat. Once he was settled and comfortable he watched the circus down below as his target was discovered. He couldn’t wait to get back to his base, to take a shower and check his bank account.
The crowd was finally thinning out and when the last person finally left, he decided to make his descend. slowly he climbed down the tree without moving a leaf. feeling satisfied he took off on foot with his rifle and jogged the 15 miles back to his base.
Once he arrived safely and took his shower. He checked his bank account and there was the money.
