Do You Wanna See a Magic Trick
OCtober 2019, prompt 'trick'
... i mean it's not 'character death' if the ones that die are background extras, right?
- Do you wanna see a magic trick?
- Who-
There's a slashing sound, and the corporative executive's body heavily falls down on the floor.
- ... Pretty sure it was him, - purplehead mused, getting the target picture from his pocket and squatting near the man's face to check.
- Yup, got 'im first try. No casualties today! Ten outta ten! Master assassin, - he stood back up and stretched in the empty office. The security guards behind the door were none the wiser so far.
The assassin noticed a mirror on the wall and came closer, checking himself out.
- Ah, dammit, I'll have to change the tie too? - he pouted, - I still have ways to work on doing this in a less messy fashion...
He took the bloodied tie off and tucked it in his pocket, then brushed his slightly disheveled hair a bit and went to the door.
- This guy's got a really forgettable mug... - he checked the photo once more before seemingly morphing into the guy in question. The mirror still reflected a lanky young adult in a shiny light purple suit, but for normal people he was now a greying man in an unremarkable brown coat.
He opened the door, nodded to the guards and strolled down the corridors, making sure to avoid any cameras on his way.
A man in a hazel jacket met him downstairs, in an empty hallway.
- That guy's done with, don't worry, - the purplehead was himself again. The other man nodded approvingly.
- Thank you for your service.
- Now for the bad news. We did a bit of digging on you and you've been doing some stuff for the last few months that we kind of disagree with. One of your projects was actively sabotaging our operations in the area, too, so...
- You... - the man started to back down.
Purplehead smiled.
- Do you wanna see a magic trick?
