Through the scope I watched him as he moved from house to house, he would knock at each door if there was an answer he would spend approximately two minutes chatting get out an envelope, pass it to them, smile and nod his head politely then move to the next house, If there was no answer he would crouch and retrieve an envelope and slip it under the door.
When he had been to all the house's in the square he began the walk up the lane towards the place where he had parked his MTAC. At two meters from the machine he did as he had done in the previous five settlements, stopped and lit a cigarette. I breathed out as his body slumped to the ground, two weeks that were not coming back but it had been worth it.
Gurden Edearis had been a Serpentis enforcer for around eight years he was untouchable, or so it had been though. I picked my way through the rocks down the slope and onto the road leading towards the town. My rifle, already dismantled, now sat in the briefcase which I was holding firmly in my left hand, I strode into town looking dead ahead at Gurden's MTAC.
The town's people parted as I came towards the body, rolling up his left sleeve I found what I was expecting, the Serpent engraved into his arm. I then removed my data pad from my breast pocket and attached the facial scanner.

This is an extract from my father's journal of his younger years, at the time he was writing this he was still in university, so it has been an eye opening experience for me to read and has definitely given me some questions that I can ask him when I next visit Syndicate.
