Assassin

Steadily he aims his sniper at her, for a moment she disappears behind the violent snowfall, her white camouflage blending her in with the white tundra. Her auburn is the only thing that gives her away. The sniper smirks.

That’s why it’s a mans job…

He waits for the perfect moment. He knows he has time to wait, he has camouflage also, and there are only 3 people on the mountain. Him, the girl, and his comrade, watching to make sure no one came up from behind.

He watches her through his scope; she’s a pretty girl, probably why it was so easy to find her up this point. He just had to follow the turned heads of the chinamen. It was a pity such good looks would go to waste. If only she had become a hooker on his street instead of an assassin out to get him.

Pity…he said silently as his finger started to pull the trigger.

Thwack! A boot hit his gun sending the bullet awry, nowhere close to the target. Another kick came and hit him in the face, breaking his nose and spraying blood all over the white powder. Blood clouded his vision, but he brought his arms up to face to block another incoming attack that he couldn’t see.

There was a sickly thump as the boot came in contact with him again, this time a little lower. He couldn’t even find his voice to groan as his vision started to darken, his mind unable to bare the pain. Another kick broke a few ribs as he lost consciousness.

“I told you this would be a lot more satisfying!” The man said as he put his booted foot on the head of the sniper, resting his AK-47 on his shoulder.

“Man, I should have taken those kickboxing lessons with you. You’ve got a wicked kick.” Said the second man as he dropped a body next to the sniper.

The first man held his hands out and bowed deeply. “You should have seen me at the height of my game. I could break shins with out even wearing shoes.”

The second man laughed and shook his head. “Can I say conceited?” He waved to the woman with auburn hair who waved back and then took of her wig revealing a baldhead.

"You know..." said the second man, "Jim makes for a pretty hot girl."
