The Gunman Page #2

Reed, you are Sierra 1, and you'll be

positioned here, in a third-floor apartment.

Two blocks down will be Bryson,

Sierra 2, and Jim, Sierra 3.

You're the lucky one, Jim.

Double bedroom at the Grand Hotel.

Reed, report.

Tango 1 is completing

a three-car convoy.

Fronting and backing vehicles

are low profile, soft skins.

Target vehicle:

B7 armored white, Toyota Land Cruiser.

The convoy will travel westbound

down the boulevard.

He'll hit a natural choke point, giving us

three to five-second window of opportunity.

Yeah. You guys are already zeroed

for ballistic advantage.

Your drop cards are adjusted

to Kinshasa density altitude, right?

- Roger that.

- Roger. Green light?

Felix will give the green light

when he confirms the target is inbound.

Felix will also designate

which of you shooters engages.

- Any other questions?

- Extraction plan?

Once the hit occurs, the shooter,

and the shooter only, is into the wind.

- Off continent?

- Yeah. We have a plane on standby.

That's how Felix wants it.

Don't let the target escape the X.

Sierra 3, copy.

Sierra 3, Lima Charlie.

Nice night in Kinshasa, huh?

You are the designated trigger, Jim.

I had a feeling. Roger that.

- Hey.

- I'm here.

Look out for her for me, will you?

I will take care of Annie.

You have my word, Jim.

Calvary is confirmed.

Stand by. Stand by.

Confirm Tango 1 on the move.

Vehicle speed:
30 miles per hour.

Rear right passenger seat.

Calvary is a go. Repeat.

Calvary is a go.

Stand by. Stand by. I have control.

Tango 1 down. Liftoff. Liftoff.

See you later, Annie.

The latest reports

from the Democratic Republic of Congo,

where the unclaimed assassination

of the Minister of Mining

has triggered violent confrontations

in the capital city of Kinshasa.

Across the country, clashes between

government forces and rebels,

along with indiscriminate raids

on civilian populations,

have started again

with rising intensity.

A country already crippled by corruption

in a decade of civil war

descends even further into chaos.

Bonjour.

Bonjour.

Hey!

Hey!

Customs released the humanitarian

aid cargo yesterday,

so we've just received this new shipment

of rice, canned food, and medical supplies.

We need to extend our storage space

and we're running a little short

on lumber, but it's not a problem.

We've also received the water pumps

that Jim asked for,

so he can now finish

setting up the water wells.

Jim, you're up, but you know this meeting

is for department heads only.

Oh. Forgive the liberty.

Eugene's my chainman.

We are loading up on the remaining

pipe today, 150 feet of joint,

push on, hit our mark on well bore

NLT this evening.
