Part V “What?”
Heero stared at the computer screen. Only his slightly parted lips and partially widen eyes betrayed his amazement. He read through the mission parameters, his disbelief growing. After peace had been achieved, Heero had supported himself by taking on various jobs. However, he was very selective about which jobs he took and who he worked for. Whoever sent him this offer apparently didn’t know Heero’s connections. ‘Or just doesn’t care,’ he thought grimly. He leaned forward, elbows propped on knees. The target had been instrumental in the battle for peace. Such an assassination would see everyone reeling. He moved his hands back to the keyboard. He had better learned something about this potential employer before he preceded any further. However, as he was about to begin his search, another message popped up on the screen. ‘Contract has already been accepted.’ Then the connection was severed. Heero blinked several times. ‘Who has accepted that contract?’ he wondered. His hands flew across the keyboard, trying to re-establish the link. However, there was no avail. Groaning, he began to plan his course of action. Heero could not sit back and wait for someone to shatter the peace that he had fought to help create. He started to prepare for this new mission, a personal one. This target had to be forewarned. |
