《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 16: Killing'em Softly
Advertisement
After telling me of my first assignment Jason passed me a stack of papers of the target.
“These papers contain everything you need to know for your mission.”
“Wait a second, I have to assassinate Joe Doe? I really like his policies.”
“Yeah, he seems like a good politician but what can you do. An assignment is an assignment.”
“I understand, but that really sucks. By the way, why is he the target?”
“A person from old money feels threatened.”
“Dammit.”
“What makes this worse is that his father is closely advising him, so we have no loophole to exploit.”
“Is the guy a puppet?”
“No, he has a real mean streak. His father seeks to keep him in check to the extent that he keeps things from becoming public.”
“So he could be trouble in the future?”
“Yes, he has the potential to be like his father. Just so you know the father is one of the ones that really carries weight in the government.”
With that I am now sneaking into Joe Doe’s townhouse with Jason watching me from afar. I enter through the back door and disable the alarm system. I then activate my goggles and set them to infrared to check to see who is here. I see two heat signatures, one in the bedroom and the other in the study. I deactivate the goggles so as to confirm my target and like I thought he was in the study. When I looked in, he was asleep at his computer.
I creep up behind him, then I covered his mouth and slit his throat. I look at his computer that was on and decide to download all his files just in case I can find something interesting. After a couple of minutes I retrace my steps and leave the house and head back to base.
With this I am truly down the path of villainy.

World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
