Merrick lit a cigarette as the members of the group filtered in. Quite a few were out on other missions, or on leave. He took a drag before puffing smoke from his nose. "Well, the Underground has given us an assignment," he said. He swiped his tablet, sending the picture of their target onto the flatscreen. "Oban Chou, head of the Chou Mob. They've got their fingers in every variety of criminal activity you can think of. In addition to this, Chou has quite a few high-ranking members of Illumination in his pocket."
Hunter examined the image. He could often get a good impression of someone just by looking at them. The young man had a knack for reading people quickly, something that had kept him alive for as long as he had. "I take it this won't be easy, Boss?" he asked. Merrick nodded.
"You're looking at one of the richest people in the world, son," he said. "He can afford whatever he wants-- guns, soldiers, vehicles. Again, it's nice to have friends in high places." Merrick took another drag. "Anyways, we also have orders to eliminate members of his inner circle if the opportunity presents itself. You have permission to kill anyone who gets in your way, but Chou is our main priority. Finish them quickly, and take the bastard out."
