Chapter 77: Bang
Chapter 77: Bang
"How about we go somewhere this Sunday?" Jin asked Diana.
Just having lunch together was slowly becoming mundane with time so he wanted to add some spice. That's how relationships progressed in all the movies he watched and the scripts he had read until now.
"Sure! Where to?" Diana asked with a bright expression on her face.
"Well, that's a secret," Jin smirked. In reality, he had not decided upon where they should go.
"Oho acting mysterious aren't ya? No worries, I'll wait for you to take me there but you better not disappoint me," Diana said playfully.
"You've put me in a tough spot now…" Jin sighed.
"That's what you get for acting mysterious hehe," She joked.
When the meal finished Jin walked her back to her office and then took a cab from there.
"To the train station please," Jin told the cab driver before resting his back on the seat.
This morning he received a message on his phone regarding the order he had placed yesterday night. It was a brief and concise message. It read like this.
"Key combination: 4578, Locker No. 84, Neon City Railway Station."
Therefore he was on his way to retrieve the item. Jin soon arrived at the station and made his way towards the Luggage lockers. He then made his way towards the Locker which was numbered 84 and applied the key combination on the padlock.
*Click*
Jin opened the locker. A black bag was placed inside. He took out the bag and wore it on his back like a regular commuter and left the place soon.
When he was inside the cab Jin finally opened up the bag to check the contents inside. There was a cardboard box inside. He opened it carefully while ensuring the driver wouldn't catch sight of the content inside.
The silencer was neatly placed inside the box. Jin then placed it back inside the bag after confirming it. Now the only thing left was to take in missions.
He opened up the KIA app and started browsing through various available missions. By the time he reached his hotel, Jin had already accepted around 20 missions and was going through the contents of each of them one by one.
All the missions he had selected were the type that didn't require much covertness. They all just wanted the target to be dead. Therefore, it aligned well with Jin's needs.
When he returned to his hotel room, Jin attached the silencer to his M9 and aimed it at different objects in the room to get comfortable with the new feeling before placing it in his inventory. In his inventory along with the gun, there was a knife and a fentanyl syringe.
He had bought the syringe before just in case and was not
It was around five in the evening so Jin slept a bit since he was going to be busy almost the whole night.
At around nine in the evening, Jin left the hotel with a bag on his back. In it, there was a different set of clothes for him.
After finding a discreet area Jin changed his appearance to that of an old man in his late fifties. His height decreased a bit and his back developed a hunch. It was followed by him changing his clothes.
The clothes looked a bit loose but complimented his identity as an old man who didn't put much focus on his appearance.
Jin had already memorized the information of the first mission. It involved taking care of a target who resided in a flat. He was a software engineer and his expertise in the security field posed a threat to the client's plans.
Jin took a cab and got off a few hundred meters from the housing complex in which the target resided. There were plenty of fast-food restaurants around him. Jin entered one and packed a pizza.
Jin made his way inside the housing complex a few minutes later. He was allowed in on the pretext of being here to deliver a pizza.
*Ring Ring*
"Coming!" A voice came from the other side of the door. The door soon opened and a man in his early 20s opened up the door. His appearance was very shabby and it looked like he had not shaved in weeks.
"Mr David?" Jin asked
"...Yes," The man said in confusion written on his face.
"Here's your pizza, someone had already paid for it," Jin said as he handed the pizza to him.
"I don't think I ordered it though…Who was it?" David asked with confusion as he accepted the pizza.
"I don't know that sir, but they did tell me to deliver a message to you," Jin said.
"A message?"
"Yes," Jin took out a piece of crunched-up paper from his pocket and gave it to the man.
With a furrowed expression the man accepted it and opened the crumbled paper up. In it, there was a single line written.
'You should have accepted the money while you could - Paul'
*Bang*
David's expression changed the moment he read the message but before he could react to it a bullet was embedded right in between his forehead and he fell on his back.
Jin dragged the body inside the flat and locked it in before leaving. His job here was done.
"That took longer than expected," Jin muttered as he looked at the time. Jin uploaded the recording of the target's last moments in the KIA app and sent it to the client as he had requested.
'Fortunately, the rest of the missions don't require giving the targets some message before their deaths,' Jin thought as he made his way towards his next target, he was an important witness in a hit-and-run case…alas he was going to become a victim now.
That night plenty of shots were fired in the Neon City and each shot took a life. The next day the police department started working in full swing to uncover the truth behind these killings.
