170 Why I Became A Contractor: Part 8 (1/2)

Thursday, 20th Of February 2018. Old Town. Bedford Park. 2200 Hours.

Bedford Park. A place where people usually came to relax and enjoy the view of the city. It was located in the middle of the city, but at night, it was full of homeless people. I've been waiting for a hidden place near that park. I waited until the dark on top of a tree overlooking the park itself. Sierra must have planted the tool on that park, and I have to retrieve it.

According to the coordinates on my phone, the device was located between the bushes on the southwest corner of the park. The device was a box that had an Ethernet cable on it. I could plug it to any laptop and hacked it with Sierra's help.

I climbed down the tree and walked to the park. The moon was shining brightly. Snoring people were around that park. I walked inside that park. I went to the southwest direction to search for that device that Sierra hid.

'Where are you?' I searched through the bushes, I found it. The box was hidden under a pack of leaves in the bushes. I grabbed it with my hand and looked at it.

The box was black and had a large display on it. It was connected to an Ethernet cable. I got another transmission from Sierra.

Sierra: ”Good. You find it. Now go to the administration office. It should be empty now.”

Lynn: ”Ok.”

Sierra: ”Good luck. Hmm, what should I call you? Lima?”

Lynn: ”Lima seems ok for me. I will accept that nickname.”

I walked outside of that park and walked to the government office that was located on Bedford street. Sierra would help me in accessing that building with his hacking abilities.

The building was located six blocks away from the park. The building was a modern building with four floors. The front door was closed and locked. There was only one entrance which was the back entrance. I needed to gain access to the back without triggering any security.

I walked around the building while Sierra gave me the order on whether I should walk or crouched since there were guards patrolling the perimeter. They wouldn't hesitate to call for backup if they saw me. Not that I didn't want to kill or shoot them, I just didn't want to screw Sierra's plan. Besides, he sounded like he wanted me to do it very quietly.

Sierra: ”Watch your step. There's a pressure plate two meters in front of you. I'll disable it for you.”

There was practically nothing in front of me with the exception of the same asphalt road. Sierra sounded more like a God than a hacker at this point since he acted as the all-knowing. he practically could see what I couldn't see.

I walked slowly and avoided any contact with any living creature. My objective was a power box that was located right in front of the backdoor. Sierra instructed me to put the device inside the power box so he could gain access to the whole building.

”Alright, here we go.” I plugged the Ethernet cable inside the power box and left the device there. I closed the power box again to make sure than I didn't leave any trace.

Sierra: ”Disabling alarm... There, now you can use your crowbar to breakthrough.”

I grabbed the crowbar from my back and pried the wooden door with my crowbar. The door broke easily and I immediately had access to the government building. The door was connected to a hallway that led to the main hall, but I couldn't do that unfortunately since there was a guard right in front of me.

I pulled the trigger of my suppressed rifle and blew his head. The head turned into a sloppy joe mess and I felt nauseous again. Some of the previous contracts didn't involve me killing anyone messily. It was usually a clean shot through the heart that would decapacitate them and killed them.

'Lynn, take control of yourself, you must not like again.' I walked passed that dead body. I picked up that dead body and carried it on my back before I threw him away to the storage room in that hallway.

Sierra: ”All clear. Move.”

I walked outside the hallway and went to the main hall where the guards' concentration was way more severe than in the backdoor. 'Shit.' I immediately ran to the nearest office of that main hall to avoid any eye contact with the guards.
