Present

Noah and I are training when we hear Liam walk in, he is holding a new packet.

“Ugh is that another one?” Noah asks and Liam nods.

“Yup, Adonis, your dad asked us to take special care of this one.” He tells me and I roll my eyes.

“Of course he does, what’s this one about?” I asked and pulled the file out of the packet. Looks like this one will be a DOS, a dead-on site contact, they usually are ones who have crossed the line one too many times, and this time it seems like they have offered someone else's life above their own.

Selfish prick, but that wasn’t any of my business. It looks like even though they offered the collateral they still will die themselves. I smirk of course just like my father to give them that hope and take it away. Father giveth and taketh I sigh and look at all the information on file.

I read about our target's information and apparently this one is very illusive, looks like they used to work for the Corales Corporation, their job was to dispose of the unwanted or unnecessary aspects the Corales Corporation didn't need or want to get out.

I roll my eyes knowing this won’t be an easy target. I read over the entire file and rub my neck, knowing my father wants this done quickly and quietly. I look at the boys and we all nod.

“Alright Liam, start gathering information on the collateral's position. I want to know everything about them, the locations they visit frequently, everything. Once you get that I will take on the collateral and see if we can get to the target that way.

Liam nods and walks away, Noah is looking into the files and stops for a moment,

“What is it, Noah?”

I ask him and he looks up at me, he looks hesitant, which is almost rare for him he never hesitates to say anything, but for some reason he is now.

“The Corales corporation, wasn't that your mothers-”

I shot him a glare and he stopped talking.

“Never mention her again.”

I say and walk away from him continuing to read the file. I walk over to Liam and watch as he tracks down every bit of information he can on the collateral, starting today I will be trying to get close to them, the pawn we call them. Because they are nothing more than a means to an end for my final goal. Liam hands me all the intel he has on the subject, and I start to read it all over.

Now the next phase, trying to find the target themselves, with that we begin the mission.
