The mission was simple. The Asset was to take out Doctor Harold Simon. The Doctor had worked in close to contact with Hydra. The Doctor had betrayed Hydra by telling an informant of their plans. The Asset had killed the informant. Now the Asset is to kill the Doctor. The doors of the black van open into a dark alley. He is told to climb the ladder and set up his sniper and take the Doctor out while he’s getting afternoon coffee. The Asset does what he is told. He scales the fire escape to the roof. The roof is hot, the sun scorches the leather that sticks to his skin. The Asset likes the sun over the Chamber. The Chamber is too cold. He unpacks his bag -- first tripod that holds his sniper, then he loads the sniper and lays out on the hot roof. He waits. He watches. The Asset watches through the scope. Man. Woman. Man. Woman. Child. Child. Woman. Man... man? The frame is slender -- small, almost childlike but the features belong to a man. The hair is sandy, warm. The Asset likes the warm. The Asset likes the man. The sudden realization of like -- need. The Asset needs this man. He does not understand the need. He’s not sure if this is a need but it is a feeling. The Asset is not allowed feelings. The Asset has the feelings taken from him when he gets them. He does not want this need taken away. The Asset is supposed to keep his sniper still but he follows the man instead. He follows the man until the man turns the corner and the Asset does not like that the man is gone. But the Asset has to return to position. It doesn’t take long for the Doctor to appear. The Asset waits until the barista is out of the line of fire and pulls the trigger. A handler comes to watch over him as he packs up his set up. The handler guides the Asset down the ladder and the van is slowly approaching. After the mission always comes the erasure. The Asset thinks of the sandy-haired man. The Asset thinks of the feelings. He does not want to be erased. He wants the man. He waits until he is in the van, the Asset kills them all.
