Prologue

I hate the way they portray snipers in video games. First off we always compensate for bullet drop, not just point and shoot. Second, we aim for the chest not the head. (Bigger target then the head with the same effect) Not that it mattered, I could put a round on the target at target field from St.Paul. My partner Tex on the other hand could barely hit a barndoor with a shotgun when 5ft away! But then again when your job is to silently take down people like an assassin up close and personal. He does to tai-kwon-do or something like that. I could still beat him a fist fight even if he does do that Karate shit. Lastly we don't go around doing 360 no-scopes or quick-scoping. Me and Tex were suppose to be on vacation in Florida, but are agency assigned us a mission, to kill one Gary Oaks, Notourious pimp who beats his girls like it's going out of style. Apparently one of his hoes: Ashleigh Ketchum (I'm not making this up! I swear!) hired our agency to make him disappear.

It was mid-August we were set up on a nearby roof overlooking the alleyway our client and the target were suppose to meet.

"Distance?" I asked .

"500 meters." Tex answered

"Wind speed and direction?"

"7 mph from the east."

"Humidity?"

"75."

"You ready for this?"

"Did you bring your silencer?" Tex asked.

"Yes mom! I always bring it in cases like these, infact I told you right before we left that I did get the silencer!" Of any one Tex should have known this, so yeah I was pissed the fuck off!

"Jeeze! Sorry I just forgot!" Tex said looking hurt.

"Fine. Let's get this over with." I said setting down my gun case, the gun I decided to use here was my Dragnov. After waiting for a couple minutes he finally showed up, I set my rifle up and told Tex to give me updates about the weather that could impede my shot. After 5 minutes I pulled the trigger, a second later Gary went down and Ashleigh ran off.

"Good job Tiger!" Tex congratulated me.

"Thanks, lets get back to the hotel." I mumbled "I'm beat"

Eric Langston the C.E.O of High Noon, Tiger's employer, just received word that his top two agents have just completed another assignment he sighed knowing what he had to do, Over the time, Tiger was becoming increasling questionable about what he was required to do, it all started with that assignment 2 years ago. Tiger and Tex were to good if Tiger was paid a great deal of money, he could take down him and the rest of the mercs signal handily. He went and sent a message to two of his most trusted assassins, kill Caleb "Tex" Miller and Rick "Tiger" Micheals. He finished the text, sighed again and looked out the window it was just business he needed to look out for his business he knew this was good in the long run, but there were doubts in his mind...

I was just relaxing by the pool at our hotel I had my headphones in and plugged into my iPhone and I was playing my favorite songs.

"Hey Rick!" I look up at Tex running up to me.

"Yeah?"

"I got a few things that's been on my mind lately"

"About?"

"Well, why are we taking a vacation here? Why, couldn't we go to someplace like the Bahamas

"According to contract, were suppose to be on standby and be ready for a call at all times. Any thing else?"

"Yeah, how come were doing more and more of this," Tex lowered his voice "Illegal stuff?"

He had a fair question there, most of are work is simple bodyguard duties and sercurity, not that we don't love action or anything, "You know, I don't know either, I'll take it up with our CO, sound good?"

"Alright then, I'm going up to my hotel room."

"O.K see you tomorrow?" I asked.

"You know it!" He exclaimed as he walked into the hotel, his head almost colliding with a chick's boobs.

I laughed "You're a pig dude!" In response to that he flicked me off. I until I heard the sound of glass smashing and the screams of Tex then followed by a sickening crunch. With my headphones still in I raced towards the noise when I got there I saw Tex in a pool of blood and shattered glass, I looked up at the window where he fell judging from the height it looked like he would have broken a few bones not be near death then I saw that there was blood by the truckload coming out of his stomach.

"Who did this to you man?" I asked him

"I don't know." He responded barely getting it out. "Rick, I see, I see a light."

"No! No! No! Run away from the light!"

"Rick! Tell my girlfriend, tell her, tell her I'm sorry." After those words my friend who survived two bullets to the leg died. I ran a my bloodstained hand threw my dark brown hair. I took a deep breath, closed my friends eyes then proceeded to run upstairs to his room, looking for the bastard responsible for killing my friend I was on his floor and running to where his room was when. BOOM! I felt a bullet enter my arm then I couldn't feel it and I passed out at the sight of my arm 2 inches away from where it was suppose to be, must have been a 50 cal I thought.

"Are you sure you we should do this?" Tex asked unknowingly.

"Yeah it's just some cheating wife."

"Ah! O.K... Hang on I've got movement by the door."

Sure enough a woman who looke like are gal with a huge belly came out. I didn't hesitate, I put two rounds in to her chest  then when it hit me like the 50 cal that hit me in the arm... "Oh SHIT!!!" Me and Tex exclaimed when we realized what I did.

"What the hell man! You shot a pregnant lady man! What the fuck!" Tex started yelling at me.

"I didn't know! I told you what I know!" I yelled back.

"Bullshit!! Man!! You knew I wouldn't go with you on this if I knew the truth!!"

"I wouldn't agree to it either! Her husband didn't tell me!!"

I regained conscious and felt myself being thrown onto a pile of wood and paper, then my arm was thrown on me then Tex was laid next to me, then one guy poured gas all over us, then another man who was smoking a cigarette finished it then, he flicked it right between us, lighting us and whatever was under us on fire. Then I blacked out.

"Alright here's the deal!" Sgt. Marcus Hernandez giving us our briefing. "A known terrorist is suppose to be in this town, here. Once you have boots on the ground you are to aspect heavy resistance. After we have secured the infill zone you are to meet up with your squad. Colonel Henderson will assign your squad to different sections of the village you are to clear all buildings in you sector before moving on, understand?"

"Sir! Yes Sir!" We all yelled in unison.

I once regained consciousness (again) I looked to in some wasteland just as Radioactive by Imagine Dragrons. Started to play I staggered around after I woke up. After a couple hours I wandered into a camp. I heard voices so I looked in there general direction and yelled"What!?!?!?" Then again, (probably from all the blood I loss) I passed out again.
