December 12th, 2007, Detroit...

Hello gentleman,

I hope your all in good health and doing well as we near the holidays, it's quite the busy time for everyone, now, on to buisness. I have a new assignment for you to carry out on a man by the name of Jeffery West, he is the manager of the ***** bank here in Detroit. Our client and Mr. West are not on good terms obviously, Mr. West is involved with some people who are enemys of our client, he assists them by doing many favors and benifits from these services. Our clients people would handle it themselves if it were possible, they wish to avoid an all out war with their rivals..that is where our company comes in and gets the job done properly and quietly.

Karl West leaves the bank every afternoon after six and drives to his home just outside of the city. At the West residence his wife Sarah, daughter Emma, 14, and son Justin, 18 also reside, they are not to be harmed gentleman, i cannot stress that enough. It is up to you how you carry out this assignment, just make sure it's clean and the target is eliminated, for positive identification a picture of Mr. West is attached to this E-mail.

-Eliminate Mr. Karl West at his residence
-Do not harm family members

Thank you, Happy holidays

Lady ~X~


Jason Hart looked away from the computer screen of the lap top that set in front of him, as the female voice reading the briefing stopped he spoke out loud..

"Simple enough, follow him home...walk to the door, knock..wish em' a Merry Christmas and put one in his head..?"

He looked at the other mens facial expressions and sensed they didn't like the idea,

"Alright.."

He grinned and hesitated,

"We want to avoid suspision to those people the client don't get along with, therefore, we make it look like a break and enter...or home invasion gone wrong..?"

Jason shrugged his shoulders and looked at the other two guys waiting for suggestions. Jason Hart stood about 5'9, 180Lbs, dark short hair, clean shaven, blue eyes and muscular, he had served with a mercenary company after he got out of the marines for afew years but was selected by Lady X to join a different company along with the other two men in the room, obviously who ever employed Lady X knew who they had working for them, three highly trained professionals who knew the job. One man was ex KGB, the other SAS...Jason respected these guys, they were easy to work with and knew the work.

James shook his head with a slight smile on his face.
"No, I reckon we should snipe him. Simpler, cleaner. Or maybe...This guy smoke?"

James Doyle was 6'0, an ex-SAS Lieutenant with ginger hair and green eyes. His nickname in his old squad was 'Scorch', because of his love of explosive devices. The often overused his grenades, but he was one of the best explosive experts in the UK.

"Why musn't we harm his family?" said Golev Ruitski,"we must always remember that they could scream and alret any Cops or neighbours nearby. I say we go against the rules and take them all out. But if we want to keep with the rules we should just do a drive by, killing him before he enters the house. It would be a tough shot."

Golev Ruitski was a former Sniper in the Speznauz, he worked for the KGB later in his career, but when the USSR collapsed in 1991, he went looking for a job in America but his ex-KGB Career scared many employers, so he had to do this, as a living.

"Less pay, Golev. Possibly none. I ain't gonna kill someone if it isn't gonna pay. The drive-by thing sounds solid though."

Jason nodded looking at his two assosiates,

"I see where Golev was going but i too do not kill anyone more than i have to, i refuse to be labled a terrorist by organizations who have information on us...it defaces our...charactor.."

He grinned,

"Alright...the drive by sounds effective aswell, BUT...it would appear to be a hit still...and our client would receive heat for it when thats what he wants to avoid, the clients people could do that and not even have to worry about paying us...we need a good, clean way to take this guy out..."

"Well then if you guys do not want to kill more than you're paid, the drive-by is the best yet toughest option."

"Sugar in the gas tank, snipe him? Maybe slash his tires, get him then?" He smiled. "Of course, he could just explode. You know, ruptured gas tank, a stray spark could make him go right up."

Jason nodded and thought for a minute,

"It needs to look like an accident...we must be creative..."

He lit a ciggerette and took a puff of it then walked to the window looking outside, a light snow fall drifted to the ground from the dark sky above....

"He will naturally be cautious, we have to make this look like he or someone else is at fault..."

Jason looked at the route taken by the man to get home each day after work, he sild his finger down the route and stopped at a stretch of road that was low volume reguarding traffic, no residences and perfect for his new plan,

"Alright...see this stretch of road just outside the city...here.."

He showed the other two men,

"He takes this road here, we cut him off right before he makes this left and continues home...possibly discuised as Detroit PD, car, lights uniforms...easy to aquire, once we have Mr. West in our vehicle one of us will take his, from there we take him to a secluded location, force him to consume alcohol, take him somewhere in his car, then send him to his icey watery grave...where when found it will look like a accident..or possibly a suicide?..you know their type, troubles at work..troubles at home...blah blah blah...the life of the upper class citizen?"

"We could even do it without the police part, but it looks better for anyone who might see it and report...also i say we do it in two days, enough time to get a Crown Vic and dress it up nice..along with the other things we need..PLUS in two days that big snow storm is hitting, it will add to our cover..."

Jason flicked his smoke in the ashtray and waited for the others to give their input on his idea...

"Yeah, sounds good. Good and clean." He lit a match, then put it back out muttering, "Pop." He looked at Golev.
"What you think? Any good?"

Hart nodded slowly to James and looked at Golev who looked as if he was considering it, but he often looked to be in thought, the man was concentraited on his job...

Jason put his cigerette to his lips then reached on the table picking up a white cloth and held it in his left hand while he reached under his left shoulder and took a Glock.18 out of it's holster, Jason removed the clip setting it on the table then pulled the pistols slide back and started to rub the cloth over the weapon slowly,

"What do you say?"

"Hmmm, good idea there." said Golev, "but it would take a ton of words and lots of time, I don't think he will simply hang out with strangers..."

Jason shrugged,

"Time is somthing we will have...this storm is gonna be pretty bad, it's on our side...not much traffic...especially on this road here, i think it could work...complicated ..but..possible"

Hart stood there deep in thought then he spoke once more,

"What about the original idea...break and enter, tie everyone up in the middle of the night, but purposely give Mr. West a chance to re-act..tie him loose or somthing while we pretend to search the house, when he does somthing stupid shoot him with a non silenced weapon, say fuck the robbery and take off..? we will speak loud so the family knows whats going on so thats what the tell police, a big act..?"

"Maybe, but that's riskier. Guy like him probably has a security alarm. Might work though."

Jason brought up a picture of West's house, it was an expencive home in the suberbs, three floors, two car garage...

"Yeah he has a alarm for sure, but we can take care of that...shut the houses power off or get him on the way through the door?"

Jason put the clip back in his Glock and pulled the slide back placing it in his holster.

"Lets make a power short-circuit in his house then, makes it much easier, with all the alarms down and everything..." said Golev, rather not willing to complicate things even further.

Jason agreed,

"Alright, theres our plan..equipment..i say small arms, dark clothes, facemasks, no silencers...."

He looked at the other two,

"Agree..? and did i miss anything?

"Nope. Lock and load!"
said Golev, with rather abit of enthusiasm.

"Sounds good." He picked up his Glock 18 and ejected and re-inserted the cartridge.

Jason replied,

"Good, two days"

The three followed their target for two days ensuring routine always remained the same. On the 14th of December, the day of the hit, it snowed just as the waether had said, it went like the last few had, the target went to work, then came directly home from the bank after closing...

Outside the West residence, December 12th...

The wind wistled and blew a snow drift down the street, the West residence was well lit up and everyone was inside. Jason wore all black, a ski mask on his head and a Sig Sauer 226 on his lap...

"Here we are..just gotta wait now, im sick of following this boring mother fucker..i just want to shoot the son of a bitch and get paid..i got afew bills i gotta pay"
