He groans.
HITMAN
No rest for the wicked...
He raises himself off the bed and walks over to the laptop.
CLOSE ZOOM on the screen as the Agency symbol appears. A chat room prompt appears:
SCREEN
OPERATOR: Well done on the hit. It will take months for them to find the bodies.
The Hitman sits back before typing:
SCREEN
47: All in a days work.
OPERATOR: We have a new job for you. Patching through now.
The chat room disappears and the screen is filled with scrolling text, pictures, maps, etc. We read the text as it scrolls.
SCREEN
Our creditors are considering you for another hit. But first we must give you
a little test. After your little stint with Ort-Meyer our financers are skeptical.
Thus, we have a new target for you. A Mr. Servance.
We see diagrams of his house, the method of transportation he uses to get to and from work, various candid pictures, etc.
The Hitman leans in. We hear his thoughts:
HITMAN
Gregory Servance, wealthy business man, local celebrity and financer of
several charities. However, it has been recently been reported to us how he amassed
his fortune more speedily. Servance has been dealing in drugs, mostly using children
from the nearby Saint Claire's Orphanage to push his goods when they grow up, which
he invests into heavily.
As the Hitman continues reading we see a short video shot from a high angle through a window of Servance's mansion. It shows a room filled with packets of drugs. Servance enters with a teenager. Video ends.
HITMAN
Usually we'd use one of our lesser hitmen on such a rank amateur, but in this
case there are certain matters that require your skills. Namely his friend:
Another picture pops up showing a graying man in his fifties.
HITMAN
Albert Schwan. Schwan, an international dealer in drugs, is coming to discuss
some matters with Servance. Part one of the test is that you perform a hit on both parties
and strike a death blow on drug pushing throughout the country.
INT. THE CONTROL ROOM- DAY
The bloodstream effect returns. A door opens and a man enters, he is MCINNERY.
AGENT
Good morning Mr. McInnery.
McInnery nods his greetings.
MCINNERY
Agent, Operator. The man upstairs has asked me to come down to discuss a few
things with you two.
AGENT
Certainly.
MCINNERY
I must say, the expenditure that this department has made is quite disgraceful.
And to no guarantee. How can we be sure that the money spent on Ort-Meyer's experiments
has any chance of paying off?
AGENT
The investment has paid off three fold.
MCINNERY
This 47 you speak so highly of killed his creator. Not a glowing reference on
his character.
