P.I.M

[pim]

Only one day ! Well, so many things happened there, I think I'll have to describe it all, if I want this biography to be structured...
So ! I went to the place I chose, the day this guy had to come, a few hours before his supposed arrival... I found a place, next to the building, close enough not to miss him, far enough, so, guards won't mind a over-armed guy standing here before it'll be too late. My ship was close enough to reach him, even under heavy fire, but far enough not to be seen from here...
*It looks good ! All guns locked and loaded, ship close, not minded by the bodyguards who already arrived to secure the area... Anytihng will be fine, only need a good timing !*
Then, a light spot hited my eyes. Quickly, but I saw where it did come from, and I was aware of what it was.
*Dang ! Sniper ! If he's a bodyguard, I can forget about my plan unless I neutralise him ! I would be shot down in one sec ! Let's check ! I just hope this ******* won't come too early*
I started run to the building the light came from. Of course, bodyguards saw me and started talk to their headset. But no problem, I had a new plan : neutralise the sniper, then, take his gun and kill my target. I just still hoped he wouldn't show himself too early.

I ran as fast as I could, and took the elevator to save my breath. On top, I saw what I wasn't expecting for : there was a sniper, but a bodyguard was aiming at him... And, I had no binoculars, but the man climbing the stairs couldn't be anyone else than my target himself...
I was too late to aim at him myself, only one possibility : I sneaked close to the bodyguard, took one of my one hand and... One shot, one dead. Let's hope the sniper was actually on my side...
shoot him ! Now !
One shot, too far to see well, but the body fell down to the stairs, and the guy who had the penetrator was a professional : all his body claimed that. He couldn't have missed his shot. While he was unmonting his gun, I thought :
*The penetrator is silent, not my gun, moreover, the guy get shoted at : bodyguards will come in a sec... I don't know if this guy had an escape plan, but I think it's flooded since he has been discovered, and I owe him one*
Follow me no time to explain, if he was what I thought he was, he would understand.
Taking my two one hand , I opened the way.
*They'll wait for us at elevator... Let's surprise them*
we took the elevator, but I choose 1st floor instead of ground floor... While the elevator was moving, I was improving my plan. When we stopped, they should all have waited for us, and it took time since they realise we where one floor above them. They reacted late, all started run to the stairs, where I was waiting...
The door acted as a funnel, and, two loaders later, way was clear. The guy followed me, not saying a word, looking at what I was doing. His only reaction was to raise an eyebrow after the slaughter I made, looking impressed (I was quite proud of myself).

Then, we went out the building, I still leaded the way to my ship when someone called on us : a cop.
Hey ! You two ! Stop at once !
-Do not disturb us ! We're chasing the gunner !
We came closer to the cop, hands up, I was in a total improvisation... I still wonder how I made it.
Stop ! You say you know who did this ?!
-Yes, an ex-Rheinland Military called Gunter Simons, speciality : night snipe ! We're Jupiter Guild mercs, hired to find and get him back, dead or alive !
-This is now a restricted place ! Mercs ! Leave at once, police will handle this !
Then, my mysterious friend started to talk, for the first time since I met him...
We know Simons, we can help you... I think I know where he is...
-Oh yeah ? Where ?
-we where just behind him, he killed many people inside, did anybody goes out the building before us ?
-no, I was here since I called reinforcements, after the shot. Nobody used this door, except you, and some people entering...
-I know, they were bodyguards and tried to stop him... If he's not out, so, he's in... Let me explain, that's his classic way of doing assassinations : he don't stay in the place he shoted from, but he stay in the same building, hidded somewhere and waiting for police to have finished its work... Then, he leave, safe and sound.
I understood the plan of my friend but he was starting to think too much to remain natural ; so, I speaked.
OK ! We'll let you do your job now. Just secure the area before looking for him in the building. Be aware, he is worthy ! Keep an eye on each others !
-Wait, how can I be sure YOU are not him ?
-call that number ! We are mandated by officer Davis. He'll confirm all I said.

We still head to my ship, as fast as we could, trying not to run, but, with police sirens around us, it was hard. We had tricked one policeman, many would be more complicated. We finally reached my fighter and landed off. Then, while flying away the area, we could finally talk to each other...
HOOOOooooooo ! That was close ! Nice shot guy ! *breathing*
-Thanks (he was cold as ice), but, tell me : who're you ? And why did you helped me ?
-Pim, nice to meet you, Mr ?
-Call me Smith, John Smith, Pim...
-*cutting him* Pim. Mr Pim, no first name. So, about why I did help you... Why did you shot that guy ?
-Personal reasons... You too I guess... So, trying to forget your past too... Mr Pim ?
-Personal. *I revived a pain I had almost forgot, in my heart. Of course not ! I'm not trying to forget my past ! What does he believe, this...*
-Are you trying to be forgotten by your past ? Like me ?
-Hmm, sounds better like that... Yeah, that's it... But, like you ? Had this guy something to....
-*cutting me* yes. That's all you need to know...
Long silence, Me, concentrated on piloting, he... Well... Not talking. Then, I broke the silence.
I'd like to know, for the records, do you know anybody called Simons Gunter ?'Cause, the details you gave on his escape plan...
-*he looked quicly at me, surprised* No, it was mine...
-nice plan ! I wouldn't have thought of it by myself ! Congrats !
-Thanks, but your 10 sec-planned trap for the remained bodyguards was fine too...
-Thanks alot ! So ! Where do I drop you ?
He gave me coordinates, and confirmed my thought it wasn't it's true hidding place. Before leaving, I let him my comm number, so, he could contact me in case of need... Wait a sec ! I forgot to ask him his own one !
