It was a late Saturday afternoon,
the fog was settling in real thick now. It had been about two years since I got
out of the army. I was kind of glad to get away from the chaos. I had been
trained as a sniper. I was in for 10 years and then spent 5 years instructing
other soldiers on the extreme skill of marksmanship. I was waiting for a women,
I only had a picture of her, and my my was she gorgeous, dirty blonde hair,
sexy red lips, and incredible green eyes. I was wondering what was taking her
so long, maybe she backed out, I thought to myself. After all the hit on her
husband and her step daughter is a lot to deal with, considering the fact she
put the hit on them.
She
drove up finally, this is the first time I got a real good look at her. She
looked to be in her late twenties early thirties. She took real good care of
herself, you could certainly tell. We talked about the plan. We made sure every
part was to be played out perfectly. But she seemed a little scared. She had
told me that a friend of her husbands was getting a bit suspicious because of
the meeting we’ve been having, on top of that this man is in the CIA, but I
could get past him I knew it. Kayla was her name, had run across some
intelligence that her husband had a secret bank account in Sweden and had
deposited 125 million dollars for her daughter Katy, just in case anything
happened to him. When Kayla realized Michael, her husband was going to divorce
her she knew she had nowhere else to go and would be left with nothing. You see
Michael is a very successful business man selling deep see drilling equipment.
And so Kayla had to do something about it and that’s where I come in.
It felt
so wrong, but Kayla and I spent a few hot nights together forced me to comply.
I wanted her you see so badly. I felt fine with killing Michael, but Katy was
going to be a bit difficult, never the less, Kayla said she was going to take
me with her when she collected the money and there we can be together surely. I
loved the idea she is so beautiful the thought of having that women made me
want to do this even more. Now the plan was for me to do what I was trained to
do, basically conceal myself wait for her Husband and step daughter and
eliminate them. Kayla told me that Michael and Katy always go to dinner to their
favorite Chinese restaurant at 7. I did some recon and saw that this was a Perfect
place to do it. The restaurant was near a forest almost to perfect. I could
make my way through there with my stalking training. When I made my way through
the forest I set myself about 800 to 850 yards away. Kind of far, but I trained
for this.
I waited
about 5 hours for them to show up. I had already put the distance into my rifle
and I accounted for everything. At this distance you even have to take into
account the rotation of the earth as the bullet is flying through the air. They
were talking a bit together in the car simple farther daughter talk. Then they
got out. They parked across the street from the restaurant. About 20 feet for
them to get to there. Only a few seconds to get off 2 shots, headshots that is.
They got out walking a bit slow with Katy’s arm wrapped around her fathers. I
would shot the father first, because I knew Katy wouldn’t just leave him in the
street, and while she was dragging her father’s body back to the car I would
shot her. Here we go I thought to myself. I put my cross hairs on Michael took
a deep breath and held it and fired. The bullet ripped through his head, and
while Katy was doing exactly as I predicted, I ended her life as well.
Three
days went by and I hadn’t heard anything from Kayla, it was driving me crazy.
Then she calls me, tells me to come over her house for a little fun in
celebration. Of course I went by. I sort of ran to her front door and there we
embraced each other with such passion I thought I could die. All of a sudden I felt
a sharp pain in my neck. I turned around and saw that is was the CIA agent she
had been afraid of. As he continued to beat me I was sure I was going to die.
Barley conscience I saw them both kiss. They through me into the back of a car.
We stopped somewhere, I heard their voices get louder as they opened the trunk.
I saw Kayla and the man, she kissed my cheek and said goodbye Bryan. I felt the
car move and bumped up and down every few feet then it stopped. About 10
seconds later, I realized they through the car into a lake. I did everything
possible to free myself but as the water reached my chin I gave out a loud
scream and gave up.
This is a good story. I like the detail you used in describing the woman and with the sniper and his training and environment. I think you captured the image of the Femme Fatale pretty well, and you incorporated how she almost forced him into killing her husband and step daughter by sleeping with him. He was happy to do anything for her, and she had him killed. Definitely a "Deadly Woman". I like that you showed us how a sniper plans for a hit too, and what may go through his head before and during it.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I might suggest though is maybe end it different. You can kill him, but the way it is just... Ends. The last words are literally "Gave up". Try "Screamed curses at them as I sank to my final resting place" or something.
Anyway, good story.
