Second Assassin

Report #115 2014, August 16th (Mendella Posting).

We've been laying low, everything is still hot here in Russia, even outside of Moscow.

We were slowly, but surely getting out of Russia, but before leaving, Incognito wanted to visit his family one more time. It wasn't smart to do so, while we were in the middle of all this, however, human emotions get the better of everyone, I guess.

He told me to keep an eye on our vehicle, while he went into the graveyard and talked to his family one last time.

Few minutes later, I hear gun shots, several of them, I start dashing toward the direction where he went, it wasn't hard following the muzzle flash in the middle of the night, the problem was that it was far away. Once I get to the spot, I see Incognito on his knees, a dart in the back of his neck, made the assumption that someone sniper shot him with Botox, nasty stuff, paralyzes you in seconds. He was sitting right next to a dug out hole in the ground, right next to his family's graves. Several guys with AK's (A few dead on the ground) surrounding him, but they do not kill him, waiting for something? Didn't care, it was clear that they were going to bury him right next to his family.

There was a good dozen of them with their AK's and me with only a forty-five, idiot. One of a kind. First things first, had to get Incognito out of the line of fire, it was time to make some noise. Shot one of their men between the eyes, jumped back into my cover (Which was a tombstone), they start shooting in my direction. Full auto, lots of it. Ammo to burn and not afraid of making noise, spells amateur. But I was still out-gunned, and I was still up the creek, so I needed to get in amongst them, fast. I retreat further, they shoot at me, while running after me (Stupid), once I distance myself and them away from Incognito, I take cover behind another tombstone and throw a grenade at them (I always carry one). It blows up, takes out a good bit of them, while they are scattered, I run back to where Incognito was, they left two guys to guard him, two guys I can take. Shoot one in the head, the other one in the chest, before he can raise his AK, after that I kick Incognito into the newly dug out grave, no time to be gentle.

The group hat chased me, must have heard the gun shots and came back to where Incognito was. I hid behind a tombstone, didn't have time to grab one of the AK's, had to do it the "Silence and Speed" way. I take a deep breath and prepare for what's going to happen next, sneak up behind one of them, twist his neck in an instant, to my disappointment, he has a shotgun, life wasn't meant to be perfect, leave him, hide again, wait for another prey. And then, just my luck, a guy with an AK stumbles near my Tombstone, sneak up on him, grab his from behind and cover his mouth, can't snap his neck, since that will require both of my hands and if I let go of his mouth, he will scream. Had to take a chance, smashed his head against a Tombstone, he didn't yell, however, he fired a random shot out of his AK.

Don't care, have my AK, they are about to shoot at me, I shoot first, double taps. Can't drop a man with a couple of rounds, you're in the wrong profession. Let them be the ones to waste their bullets, get pulled off target by the recoil, mark themselves with muzzle flash. Aim, shoot, switch, repeat. Soon enough, fire stops, I'm the only one standing, that's when I let my guard down, I feel sudden pain surge through my neck and then I don't feel anything, I fall flat on my face, can't move, can't talk, only hear and see.

"Burns doesn't it? It's Botox. Can you believe that people actually pay, to have that stuff, a paralyzing drug, injected in their faces. It's a crazy world man, a world where a family can be murdered and the murderer will walk free."

The man got in front of me, with a knife in his hand, blond hair, black trench coat, red scarf, pretty tall, don't know who he is, don't care, just like he doesn't care about me.

"I have no problems with you Justice, I have a problem with your friend, the family murderer, however, can't afford to have you running around getting in my way."

He put his knife to my throat, he was about to kill me and then, he suddenly draws his knife into a different direction and he manages to catch Incognito in mid air, stabbing him into his shoulder. No idea how Incognito managed to be able to move so quickly, probably that Azoth inside of him. Incognito head butts him in the nose, making this guy stumble back, holding his nose. Incognito then kicks him in the jaw, which makes the guy fall down. Incognito picks my 45 up and is about to shoot him, however, he didn't know that my 45 ran out of ammo, couldn't tel him before hand because I was paralyzed.

The freak laughs and says:

"I have a gun too."

After which, he throws it at Incognito's head pretty hard. This idiot is using unpredictability to his advantage, they were both at a stand off, then the idiot throws a side kick, Incognit blocks it with his arm, while Incognito's arm is occupied, the idiot chops him in the neck. Incognito immediately grabs his throat, while hitting the idiot with his other hand, the idiot falls down, but he doesn't just stay there, he sweeps Incognito's feet, making him fall down as well. The idiot was about to stomp Incognito's face in, but Incognito grabbed his foot and twisted it, so the idiot falls down, hitting his jaw against the ground, Incognito grabs him by the back of his head and slams his face against the ground. The idiot is trying to reach for his knife, but Incognito grabs him from behind, putting him in a head lock, about to choke him.

That's when another shot is fired into the air, everyone stops moving. That woman again, the one who seeks revenge on Incognito.

"Let my brother go, or I empty a magazine into your skull."

"You will do so anyway, since you're seeking revenge."

"Unlike you, Kisin, I have some dignity, you spared my life once, I'm returning the favor."

A minute of silence and then Incognito lets him go, the guy rushes towards his sister, they start arguing between each other, amongst the argument, they drop their names. The guy's name is Xander and the woman's name is Cassia, or it's their nicknames, I don't know. In any way, Incognito picked me up and we drove off.

Good news is, we're finally out of Russia.
