the mission.....

Time seemed to stand still. The weapon was unlocked and ready for use. The sweat trickling down the side of his face seemed like a torrent as he stood motionless. The order had been clear. Eliminate.

The fact that the decision to kill was personal made the mission more intense for him. He had decided that it was time. He could take no more of it. There was only this option. There was room for just one of them, and he was sure he was going to make it.

He had personally requested this assignment and in doing so fully understood the consequences. The enemy had escaped previous attempts by others. He was fast, agile....an expert in his field. There was only one chance, a full frontal attack and the situation warranted it, probably his only chance.

The trap had been set. And the enemt would fall for it. He wasn't just sure....he knew.

The wait was agonizing, yet determination overtook everything else. All he saw in before his eyes was the mission. He took in a deep breath and waited.

"Nothing can be left to chance. Nothing"
