Witness Elimination
Briefing:
Hello 47, Diana speaking. The next assignment takes place in Budapest, Hungary, the Thermal Bath Hotel. We have just received a phone call from the Client, a now retired assassin, that revealed further targets for elimination, apart from the Fuchs brothers. The Client has recently found out that there are several individuals attending the UN summit and in the hotel staff that may be inconvenient to your employer in the near future. I must inform you that you are in personal danger too, 47. The CIA has got the trace of you now. We know from a sure source that there are spies among the hotel security. We do not possess the knowledge of their exact quantity, however we managed to identify two of them. One is John Nelson, who impersonated the guard near the metal detector on the third floor in the same hotel wing as the murder scene. The second is Homer Jay Vonnegut, he is the guard who sees that nobody visits the crime scene – he patrols the space between one of the double doors leading the pool and the hallway with the elevator on the ground floor. You must not let those two see you at any point or your career and, more importantly, your life is in great peril. That means that you cannot enter the pool nor the roof at any moment of the mission.
Assassinate Franz Fuchs:
Franz Fuchs should be having a shower in his room at the time you come in. Eliminate him in a silent way, but be not afraid of bloodshed. In fact, I insist that you eliminate Fuchs using a knife. When that is done stab his corpse with the knife a couple of times so that blood is all over the bathroom. Franz Fuchs’s body should be found by his guard, Hans Brüner who is in the room at the time of assassination, so that when he finds out that his colleague Jeremy Pilch is not guarding the front door, the front guard takes the blame for the assassination. This should result in Fuchs’s employers murdering Pilch’s family to set an example of him. My Client strongly insists on having Pilch’s beloved dead.
Assassinate Fritz Fuchs:
Franz’s brother is cruising between the casino and the pool. My client would prefer you to eliminate him when he is having a swim, but if that is impossible, do it any way you wish. I must remind you that you cannot enter the pool area nor the roof because of the CIA agents. This is vital, 47.
Retrieve the Chemical Bomb:
The Fuchs brothers are planning to detonate a chemical bomb during the UN summit that takes place in the hotel. It is most probably stored in the X-Ray room, as Fritz Fuchs is using his dentist identity as a cover. Retrieve the bomb in its original casing to avoid suspicion.
Assassinate Itamar Priel:
Itamar Priel is one of the targets that our Client has just added to your list. As our Client is a retired assassin, he has many enemies that are just waiting to crush him. You see, a couple of months ago one assignment went wrong for the Client, and even though he has completed the objectives of his mission, there are still witnesses of the assassination among the living. Itamar Priel is one of those inconvenient people that you have to get done with. He is now working as a clerk in the hotel – he gives out mail. Carry this out as silently as possible. However, I am afraid that there is no way of doing this job without a gunshot.
Assassinate Iris Murdoch:
For reasons that I cannot reveal to you, our target needs you to eliminate Iris Murdoch, a famous writer who is attending the UN summit. She can be found talking on the phone on the third floor, admiring the jewellery. You must carry this out silently and make sure that no other person finds her body. This is a very delicate job, so you cannot be identified as the person who killed the other targets, too. This must seem like a kill other than the rest that will take place that night. To ensure that, put two bullets in Murdoch’s stomach and one in her head. I know that this is not your style, but that’s the point of doing it.
Assassinate Jeremy Pilch and Tom Bradbury:
Before eliminating Franz Fuchs, you must ensure that when Hans Brüner sees the body nobody will be guarding the front door to the room 202. To do this, assassinate Jeremy Pilch. He will be standing in front of the door to Fuchs’s apartment. Pilch is just a pawn, but a pawn of utter significance to our Client, so there is an additional request concerning his dead body. You should place it in the room number 305, located one floor above. There is an English businessman sleeping in that room – take him out using Pilch’s Magnum 500 which you should place near the bodyguard’s body. Jeremy Pilch should look like shot from a SPAS shotgun that you will place beside Bradbury’s corpse. This should be enough to make it all look like a shootout between the two. Remember, it is vital that you do it all before taking out Franz Fuchs.
Conceal Fiodor Nowak's Body:
Your last objective is to hide the body of a Polish diplomat who was killed the same night. His corpse is located in the murder scene on the ground floor. Your best option is to hide the body under the staircase nearest to the place. There will be a policeman guarding the body, knock him out if you must. Good luck, 47.
