When he arrived, Sir. A. Woodbridge opened up a briefcase with seven million US Dollars and asked Mark,
“Do you want it? I’ll give it to you in one condition,” with a smile on his face.
“And what’s that?” replied Mark.
“It’s not such a big job for someone like you. All you have to do is get rid of the mayor,” said Sir. A. Woodbridge.
“The job can be don … but not by seven million,” responded Mark.
“How about I give you half a million now and then seven million when the job is finished?” asked Sir. A. Woodbridge.
Mark stayed silent for a while and then answered,
“You’re on,” shaking his hand. Sir. A. Woodbridge handed over the check of five hundred million US Dollars to Mark Hammond. As Mark was about to leave, Sir. A. Woodbridge said,
“By the way he’s going to leave from his meeting at around seven, so finish him of there and then. Don’t let me down Mark!”
Later that day, Mark Hammond went to the roof of the hotel Shooting Star, which was opposite the Hall where the mayor was having a meeting at.
After the meeting, the mayor cam out joyfully. Mark Hammond, the sniper took aim and just before the mayor got in his limousine, a bullet was shot right in the back of his head. The police force was in shock, the mayor had been assassinated. They got the area blocked as quickly as possible and had all the police force looking around the area, but it had been too late; as the sniper had already left.
The body was later removed and the police took all the video cameras nearby and watched them carefully. They looked for hours and hours and didn’t find anything. The next day the detective looked through the videos himself carefully and noticed a gun pointing out from the roof of a hotel. The detective, without delay went to the roof of the hotel, and found a passport with the snipers name and address.
He then went to the address which was on the passport, showed his badge and walked straight in. The detective showed, the passport and asked him,
“Is this the address of Mark Hammond?”
“Mark Hammond. No,” he replied.
“Well according to his passport, this is where he lives,” assumed the detective.
“Yes, Mark did used to live here but he moved out because him and I, Robert Law, decided to go separate ways,” said Robert Law.
“Oh! Do you have any idea where I could find him?” asked the detective.
“Nope. I haven’t seen him for years,” he replied.
The detective left the house thinking there was something wrong and he was going to find what. As he was just about to start his car, the detective saw Robert Law leave his house. He decided to go in the house and have a look. He entered the house using the window that was left wide open. The detective looked through the bedroom drawers and found a document with Robert Law’s real name as Lewis Hanks. As soon as Lewis Hanks came back, he was arrested and taken to the police station to question him.
After two days of questioning him, the detective found out all about the assassin, and his real address. The detective took the police force with him, as he assumed there would be guards around.
In the battle, that followed most of the guards were arrested and some killed. Mark Hammond was sentenced to prison for twenty five years for the assassination of the mayor as well; whereas Sir A. Woodbridge was shot as he tried to escape. The detective also found out about the secretary, who was trying to hide in the house. She was sentenced for six years, as she was part of the mayors’ assassination.
