The killer walked a good distance behind his mark. He was moving swiftly with a controlled balance in his step. He was observing and mimicking his mark catching his mannerisms. Although he was not accustomed to the bright blue clothes he was wearing he liked them. They made him blend in more than any dark cloak could. He remained about thirty feet behind his target. The paper in his hand made him seem less noticeable and the cup of coffee was only for show as well.
The man that he was watching and hunting was tall with a beard. He wore the same blue uniform and was talking with a colleague. They had eaten lunch together and were leaving the cafeteria down a long hall. Our killer was partly in stalk mode and partly in data gathering. He wanted to calculate the walking speed and the timing of his intended victim. This assassin was a student. He learned a long time ago that he should obtain as much knowledge as he could before making his strike.
The hallway was long and well lit. Another oddity in his business. The elevators at the end of the hall way were gray almost blending with the light green from the halls. The target was about to board the upgoing elevator to probably head to his office, on the third floor. His colleague touched his shoulder with a soft caress. She was shorter with flowing blonde hair. She then turned facing the killer paying no attention to him whatsoever and walked on past him down the hall. She had done the same three days ago without notice of this character with the newspaper. The last time he was wearing a hat and was bearded.
The killer continued past the elevator to the stairwell where he would ascend to the third floor alone. He was traveling light today anyway so the stairs would not be a burden. He carried his master key, his car key and a camera that fit into his back pocket without any notice. His master key stolen from the custodial office gave him access to most of the locks in this wing of the hospital. This would be much more helpful later on in planning his task. The camera was to provide visualization to his blueprints. He photographed stairwells, signs, name tags, computer screens, etc... anything that could help him.
While he got to the third floor the killer opened the door and proceeded to the entrance to an office. He was about to enter the offices of some of the surgeons within the hospital. He quickly snapped a shot of their names on the wall. He also snapped a shot of the hall toward the elevators.
He then slowly pushed the door open and stepped in...
