Parked outside on the corner street of Anderson Holdings, I wait
patiently for my intended target to make his move. Tapping my gloved
fingers on the steering wheel, I carefully scan my surroundings. It’s one
a.m. and the streets of downtown Edinburgh are strangely calm. My eyes
snap up toward the windows of the twenty-fourth floor when the lights of
the office turn off.
Within less than ten minutes, McCollough Anderson emerges from the
front entryway of the building, accompanied by two of his hired private
security. There has been talk on the dark web of three new players entering
Edinburgh’s crime circuit. Not only is Anderson partners with a man I tried
to take down years ago, he also traffics women through said partner’s share
of the docks. He is known for having the most recent intel when it may
come as a threat to his business.
Tonight’s takedown will serve two-fold.
After slipping on my mask, a black full face mesh balaclava that only
shows my eyes, I quietly exit my car, fingering the syringe in my pocket
and ensuring it is secure. Satisfied, I grab my Glock from its holster and
turn on my heel toward Anderson as he makes his way to his armored SUV.
I stalk behind the three men, grinning and humming to myself. The
anticipation of what’s about to transpire is building inside me. The
excitement of Anderson getting what he deserves sends chills through my
body.
Pausing for a step, I shake my head.
A surprise attack seems too easy. Let’s up the ante. Give them a bit of a
head start. I long for a good chase.
Clearing my throat to bring attention to myself, I quickly raise my gun as
one man turns around.
His eyes grow wide in realization.
“Well, hello there.” I smirk beneath the mask.
CRACK!
A bullet escapes the barrel of my gun and finds its way between the eyes
of the security guard. His body falls limp onto the pavement, and the blood
slowly pools at his head.
Anderson turns around at the sound of the gun and runs behind the
armored car as his second security guard lunges for me. He attempts to
throw a right hook at my left temple, but narrowly misses. I grab his wrist
and twist it around, pulling his arm down simultaneously to meet the top of
my knee cap as I thrust it upward. The sound of his elbow cracking as it
inverts on impact rings through the night air along with his cries of pain.
He doubles over, groaning, cradling his now useless arm, and runs in the
direction of his boss.
“Oh no, no, no. No witnesses.” I taunt as I walk toward both men.
I grab the security guard by his shoulder and whip him around to face
McCollough, who is now staring at me bug-eyed and overtaken with fear. I
wrap my right arm around the base of his neck, squeezing tightly so it
begins to cut off his air circulation.
