Chapter 4 : The Task
Chapter 4 : The Task
Hi James,
I trust you are feeling the same exhilaration as we did when we presented you with this extraordinary opportunity. Time is of the essence, so I shall be direct. Tear this page from the diary and proceed to the address "10 Seafield Street." There, you will find a sprawling apartment building. Ascend to the ninth floor and knock on the first door you encounter. Hand over this page to the person who awaits you. In return, you shall receive a ring—wear it henceforth until your task is completed.
The ring possesses a unique capability. It will emit a pulsating light whenever you draw near to a potential target. If the ring flashes yellow, we are in the process of validating the target. Should it shift to green, you have identified the intended mark. Conversely, if it turns red, the individual is not your target. Remember this, James: when the ring blinks green, it signifies that your mission demands immediate action. Terminate the target swiftly and discreetly. Failure to do so will result in your demise, and that of your loved ones.
Regarding remuneration, we shall ensure your financial needs are met inconspicuously. Money shall be periodically transmitted in small increments to avoid arousing suspicion from banks or prying eyes. Once you have accomplished your task, we will arrange a meeting to deliver the remaining payment, either in cash or property, according to your preference.
For now, this is the extent of the information I can provide. However, in times of great peril and uncertainty, should you find yourself in desperate need, reach out to me via the following email address. Bear in mind, James, you have only five opportunities to seek my assistance throughout your entire endeavor. Utilize this lifeline sparingly and solely in the face of absolute necessity.
Time is of the essence, James. The shadows beckon, and your fate awaits. May you navigate this treacherous path with the resilience and cunning befitting a hunter of your caliber.
Yours sincerely,
The Phantom
