"Angel, how are you doing up there?" Cael muttered on my earpiece. I squinted my eyes, gradually looking for my target and when i finally able to lock my gaze upon him, i smiled.
"Doing great so far" i breathed then winked as Cael who's been gazing over me from where he stood. He take it as a signal to proceed on his role. All according to plan, i mentally murmured.
The guests gather up once the emcee started the programme. I aim my position as i watch over the crowd of elites. All those wolves wearing the smiling face of a sheep makes me wanna gag. Damn! This world is surely a fucked up place to live.
I sighed then locked my gaze towards my target. Caleb Sullivan, a business tycoon who's currently dominating western businesses specifically in real estate industry. He was wearing a glamorous tuxedo while holding a glass of wine on his right hand.
"Target on post, Angel be ready in ten seconds"
"Copy"
My grip tightened as i place my finger on the trigger and firmly lock my aim to the target. Being a hitman isn't something to be proud of but it is much better to be than those bastards keeping their hands clean by letting us do all the dirty works.
I clench my jaw as i stared at my target's soft feature. He looked so warm, how ironic. Appearance is surely decieving. What a cunning world.
"3"
Slowly, i added pressure on my finger. The dryness on my throat spread like wildfire, my breath started to hitch but i manage to keep all my emotions at bay.
"2"
The fact that tonight, another life will end on my mercy had my gut churning, it felt nostalgict yet strange.
"1"
But before i was able to completely pull the trigger his eyes landed on me. It's just a split second yet i swear i saw him smile my way as if he was expecting all of this- like he was expecting his death.
"Bang!"
Loud rang of gun shot dominated the whole session hall and at the same time all the lights were out. Just exactly what's on the plan.
