Richard - the man behind the master plan.

They are en route to the target.

Everything is set as per plan.

"Boys, Just get in, extract him and kill him," Richard commanded.

"What if he knows we are coming for him?" - John had a doubt.

"That is highly impossible, John." Richard replied.

"But what if, Richey?"

"Just stick to our plan, John! Tell the boys to stay alert!"

"I suspect there might be a leak in the info, Richey!"

"Only we two know the full plan. The boys are just a backup. This time we should kill him!"

"Every time there is a leak in the info and he flies away before we get him, Richey!"

"Yeah! It's unfortunate, but he might be a smarty too!"

"Don't praise him, Richey! He can be a smart lad but not smarter on all occasions!"

"Don't be jealous of him, John!"

"I swear, I put a bullet in his skull this time!"

The wheels screeched for the brake.

"Boys, cover all the exits! John, we both go inside!"

"Let's pin him down, boys!" - John winked at the boys.

The team circled the building and secured all the exits.

Richard and John stepped inside very cautiously, watching each other's six.

There was dead silence.

Each step counted.

Dodging all the empty rooms Richard and John entered the master room.

"It's empty! He flew away, it seems!" - Richey uttered in the comms.

"Let's fall back, John! I told you he is a smarty!" - Richey shrugged his shoulders.

"Not today, Richey!" - John shot him in the neck.

"How?" asked Richey, realizing the situation.

"The Devil is in the details, Richey! In the last encounter, you covered all the traces after killing Mark but forgot to change the empty bullet from your gun in the forensic!"

"Smarter, John!"

"For Mark!", The next bullet from the john entered the Richard's skull!

"Master plan, John!" one of the boys screamed in excitement.

"The plan is to take out the Master, boys!" - John winked.

A double-cross encounter to take out Richard, a rogue inside an army platoon.
