Chapter 1: Curt is hurtin'

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

In a very dark and cold office, all the way in New York City, was a man, this man was the CEO of Heffle corp. One of the biggest corporations on Earth, the office was almost pitch black, except for an overhead light in the center of the room where a man in a suit was standing. Sweat poured off of him, he was about 35, partly bald, with a folder under his right arm.

At the big, dark desk sat the CEO himself, darkness covered his face, all that could be seen was a silhouette. He said in a very deep voice, much like Darth Vader, except less cool, "So, what are we gonna do about our my little problem?"

The quivering man replied, "Um sir, I think I f-found a solution."

"What is it?" He asked calmly.

"I've been looking at some.... Assassins, and I've compiled a list of the top 10 I could find."

"Hmm, why not send one of our troops?"

"With an assassin, no one will know who sent him, these guys don't talk, and if they do, we can deny it without any concern."

"Excellent, now who's the best out of them all?"

"Well, it took a couple of hours to find info on this guy, but it was worth it, I guarantee it sir."

"Who is it?"

"Oh, um, right, yes sir. His name is Curt, he's a sniper, he has never served in the military, but his track record is one I've never seen before. This man is only 23, and has a grand total of 157 confirmed kills, how many people he's been paid to kill however is unknown. I couldn't find anything on that."

"Impressive, I'm liking this guy already. Tell me more."

"Right, I found out from various sources that he has the worlds longest shot of exactly 1.2 miles. It was the shot that killed the Baron."

"That guy? That guy was the CEO here before I took over."

"And no, we've never hired him."

The CEO sat up, "How did this guy get so good?"

"Well, he came from a farm, it was almost entirely mechanical, so that gave him a lot of time to target practice. He even hunted for awhile so he can move like the wind. But one thing that I found disturbing was the fact he has one eye."

"Hmm."

"I don't know the exact story, but some say he was in a sniper battle, he won, but the bullet got lodged in his eye."

"Fucking hell."

"So he doesn't have to worry about that eye, allowing him to focus more on the target."

The CEO was very impressed, he asked, "So why have we not hired him yet?"

"Ya, that's the thing that got me worried, his price is above almost any other sniper, but with him you pay the most, and you get the best."

"I want him, he sounds like the guy we need, but I'm not paying a sniper. Find something he loves and take it, we won't have to pay him ,and with the collateral, he'll do whatever we wish."

"Um, yes sir, I'll get on that, I found his number."

"Good, be off then." The man walked out of the office as the CEO started an evil laugh.

(Play this music to get the whole feeling of this scene.)

At the same time, in a construction yard somewhere in Utah, was a man he was lying in prone position with a Barrett M82, he was lying in an unfinished office complex, he was aiming at a small motel off the side of the road about .3 miles away. The man was Curt, he had a small AM/FM radio next to him playing the song I asked you to listen to. He was about 5 foot 11, long brown hair, and a blue eye. He was wearing solid black clothing as to hide himself.

He also had a monitor next to him, it had a woman giving a guy a blowjob on a motel mattress. He looked at the monitor periodically. It was from the motel room he was aiming at, suddenly he got a call on his ear piece.

He pushed the button and he asked with a pretty manly tone, "Hello Curt speaking."

A man replied, "Hello Curt."

"Oh god, I will call you when the job is done already, I got my sights on them now."

"I know, I'm watching the live feed from that camera you installed. But why haven't you killed her yet?"

"You asked me to kill her for a 500 thousand, and another 500 thousand to shoot his dick off. Well since she's sucking him off right now I was gonna wait for the right moment, right before he cums."

"Wow, that's evil, alright, you do that I'll throw in another 10 thousand."

"Thank you sir, oh here he comes." He turned off the radio (Turn the song off) And looked down his scope. He waited a moment before, BANG! He looked at the screen and the bullet went right through her head and right through the guys 'little' head, basically exploding it.

"Ha! I love it, that was quality my good man." The man was screaming and rolling around everywhere.

"So, do you want me to put him out of his misery?"

"Nah, just let him suffer."

"Very well sir." Curt started to pack up, taking his riffle apart and placing it into it's case. He got up and the man said.

"I cannot thank you enough, that bitch cheated on me and she paid for it. The money has been sent to your account. And if I meet another bitch, I'll call you first."

"I appreciate that sir, have a good evening." Curt hung up and turned around, ready to leave, showing the eye patch covering his left eye. He received another call, he sighed and said.

"Good evening, Curt speaking."

The same man from the first part of the chapter said, "Hello, I have a job for you mister Curt."

"Wow," He rolled his eyes, "I thought you were my service provider."

"Ha ha, you want the job or not?"

"Depends sir, what"s the job?"

"I need you to kill a mister Robert Yoki, he poses a major threat to my business interests. And price is no concern."

Curt thought for a moment and asked, "So, where is this guy, and what do you want me to call you, I need to be able to have a name so I know whom I'm working for, or else I call the wrong people and tell them the job's done."

"Alright, call me.... Shadow."

"Pbttthh, HA HA HA! Shadow? Ha ha ha!" He fell on the floor laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Shadow is the name everyone first thinks of, it's kinda become a stereotype with my customers." The rest couldn't be heard over his laughter. Shadow was starting to get a bit angry.

"Do you want my business?"

"Ya, sorry, that was just funny, sorry, continue."

"He will be in Canterlot for a couple of days to meet up with princess Celestia and princess Luna."

"So he's a government official?"

"Yes he is mister Curt."

"That will double the price, that puts a government bounty on my head, so I needs to get paid more than usual for that."

"Alright, I shall take care of the rest, he will be dead by the end of the week."

"What about the price?"

"If you gotta ask, it's to much, but it will come to 3 million."

"I'm not paying half now."

"I never ask of that, it's to cliche to be a thing, no, it gets transferred to a small account once the job is done."

There was a small silence, "Oh, alright mister Curt, as soon as he dies, I'll transfer the money."

"Done, have a good day mister Shadow." Curt hung up and walked to his car, it was a compact rental car, a red 2020 ford focus.

He put all the items in the trunk and he said, "Alright, time to get home."
