Some parents teach their children something valuable for life. Well, I no longer have parents to teach me anything. And I don't want to call the old fart a father.

I stood on a tall, abandoned building in Budapest and observed the situation. HYDRA agents were scattered throughout the city, waiting for my signal.
My job was to kill the widow who was targeting our client.

Our client would infiltrate many of HYDRA's agents into the upper levels of the White House, and so HYDRA could have better control over political decisions and power interventions.

There were lots of straps with weapons attached to my bare legs: firearms, knives, small knives, grenades, things like that.
I had to admit that I had completely lost my sense of cold.

I no longer felt the cold, not even goosebumps appeared on my body, even though the wind currents on the building were quite strong and my hair was already blocked, despite the braid.

I looked at the city center with my naked eye and analyzed the cars that came and went.
I was looking for a woman with red hair.

Suddenly a car stopped in front of the large, marble-white building.
I pushed myself off the wall and knelt. The long-shot pistol placed in front of me.

I put my chin on the rest and looked through the target glass.
The widow I was supposed to shoot was named Natalia Romanova.
Normally they would have thawed B for this, but he was too valuable to them.
So HYDRA thought that I wouldn't be able to complete the mission.

My eyebrows furrowed. Why would a Widow, a trained assassin who should be aware of the danger of being shot, put herself in such an obvious place?

I compared the picture of her I brought with me and the woman down there.
The mole on the right cheek next to the nose was missing.

At that moment the door behind me burst open and Natalia stood in the doorway.
Her dark eyes scanned me as I slowly stood up.
She was a professional and I couldn't let on how afraid I was of her.

"Not the right outfit for a mission, don't you think?"
The redhead asked in a sarcastic voice and pulled out her knife.
"I'm not interested in practicality, it has to look good."

I replied and started to protect myself against her attacks. I had never been good at hand-to-hand combat. In contrast to the others in Gafahr, I was even ranked very low in close combat.
That was also the reason why I mainly defended myself and not attacked.

Using my left arm to defend myself, I reached into one of my right pockets and pulled out some sort of powder to quickly blow it into her face.
The hot-haired one screamed and let go of me. At that time I ran to the edge of the building, grabbed my sniper rifle, and jumped down.

Meanwhile, I turned once and shot off a rope that attached itself to the dilapidated wall, bringing me to an abrupt halt.

I quickly pushed myself into the glass-protected windows, released myself from the rope, and sprinted out of the building.

As I sprinted out I heard Natalia's footsteps behind me.
I put my finger to my ear and gave a quick status report.
"Natalia Romanova is behind me, interrupted the line of fire."
A black car pulled up and I jumped in.

"Take me to the largest building nearby."
I demanded, accepting another weapon.
The soldiers in the car were talking in Russian and I only understood half of them.

We stopped in front of it, right in front of the building where the politician I was supposed to eliminate was supposed to go.
I quickly got out and ran into the building, slowing my pace to avoid attracting attention, even though the building was under HYDRA's control anyway.
