Already the rising temperature was becoming an issue. Staring through the magnified scope of her rifle, the heat waves made the target area shimmer while the desert woke up.
Within the stripped out apartment the bedroom was littered with broken drywall and empty bottles of beer and various cheap liquor. She had made sure the previous transit tenets were no longer a problem. Leaving her to work, to wait as her target makes his move and for her to close out this mission.
She had wanted to get back out into the field. Her recovery already being pushed behind her as she could move on with her new life. Kissing Matt’s forehead before setting him down for a nap, everything was much clearer now. Taking on operations that worked out to her skill-set mostly in to hone her skills after months of inactivity and mostly to clear her head.
Slowing her breathing she focused her vision through the scope. Her field of view narrowed down to a single driveway three quarters of a mile away. A mere stones throw away for someone of her capabilities. She waited several more hours. The sun slowly trekked across the sky. Shadows danced in their slow procession across the ground. She barely moved the entire time, remaining hunched over against the dusty boxes that supported her and the rifle. The old metal chair she sat on creaked slightly when she adjusted those few times.
Her finger slide down to rest against the cold steel of the trigger. Her target had appeared from the front door of the home. He wore a simple work shirt that was stained from various grease and oils. He walked with a stilted swagger of a man that worked hard. Squeezing the trigger as she slowly exhaled. The loud report echoed in the room as the 50 caliber round was sent towards the target. Many long seconds slowly ticked by before the man fell back, dead. The ground where he fell began to turn red as he bled out from the gaping wound to his chest.
She slowly stood up, stretching stiff muscles. Breaking down the rifle back into the rugged case she had brought along. Tapping several entries into her phone she removed the conduit from her pocket. Disappearing into the glowing portal of Agartha as the distant sirens of emergency vehicles broke the calm afternoon.
