Chapter One-Prologue
Emma POV:
I held my breath as I laid there on the chilly roof top, positioning my sniper rifer to the window of the court houses 4th story window. I kept my eyes on the prize and thought about the payoff that was waiting for me after this kill. 50K sounded like heaven to my ears. I reach over and open the file that I put together for this mission.

Scanning the information made me think that I lucked out that he was in court today for some kind of parking violation. Making me laugh at myself. How could one of the most ruthless drug smugglers known end up getting picked up by the cops for a parking violation. I knew it wasn’t a coincidence but I didn’t really care. I came here for one job and one job only.
Out of nowhere movement grabbed my attention in the window of the 4th floors men’s restroom. Looking through my scope I finally saw him. The man I was looking for, starring at his features and remembering everything that I committed to memory about him. I always triple check my targets I don’t want to end up killing the wrong person. That would ruin my perfect reputation.
He turned around looking at someone standing at the door, they were talking and it looked like it was getting heated. At a glimpse I could tell it was his second in command, Luis Jones. I would love to take him out as well with no extra charge but as I started to line up the shot he stormed out of the bathroom. Rodriguez turned towards one of the sinks and turned on the faucet splashing cold water on his face. I took slow and equal breathes while my finger rested on the trigger.
“Don’t f**k this up Emma.” my best friend JoJo’s voice coming through as she spoke from my ear piece. She is my ‘behind the scene’ partner. I work alone but she keeps an eye on my back with all of the technical stuff. Her and James are the only two people who know who I really am. A ruthless killer.
“You know I won’t, I never do.” letting a smirk form on my lips. I could sense her smile accompanied by a small chuckle in my ear.
After just a millisecond had passed by I knew it was time and pulled the trigger.
Then silence……
