Day 1 of NaNoWriMo went very well... 1,947 words! Yay me! *throws confetti* How about a little teaser? Okay.... **************************** Peering through the lens of the Leica Monovid, the woman studied the movement of the flag on the rooftop of the Russian Embassy from her top floor vantage point of the safe house in the Palace Gardens Terrace. She set the monocular down and made a final adjustment to the rifle’s scope, trained on the black Bentley parked in front of the embassy. Glancing at the turquoise Corum chronograph strapped to her right wrist, Nikki noted that there was still half an hour before Dimitri was scheduled to leave the embassy… for the last time if my aim is as good as it has been for the last seventeen hits, she thought to herself. She settled herself down on the window’s bench seat and reached in a jacket pocket for the pack of Gitanes. “Those things will kill you, Nikki… or do you prefer Miss Ice?” Before the thought had finished forming in her head, Nikki jumped out of the seat and the Sig Sauer P226 that had been nestled in the underarm holster on her right side was trained unwaveringly at the head of the tall figure standing in the bedroom doorway. “You’ve got about three seconds before your brains are splattered all over the wall!” The man laughed and raised his hands, palms open. He took another step in to the room. “You can’t kill Dimitri.” His voice was firm and matter-of-fact. There was no trace of threat in it and the look in his eyes remained neutral. “I can… and I will… in exactly…” Nikki stole a quick glance at her wrist… “twenty-nine minutes. The only question right now is… will he be my only victim today. Who are you?” *************************************
