The morning fog hung heavy in the air, the city streets bustling with the usual rush of traffic. Cars honked impatiently, a cacophony of honks, engines, and the soft hum of distant chatter. Yet, in the midst of all this noise, one figure moved with a deliberate calm. Virendra Singh Rawat, as usual, was making his way to the office in his black SUV, surrounded by his usual entourage of security.
The sniper, hidden in a nondescript car a few hundred meters behind, watched through his scope with a focused intensity. His breathing was shallow, his hands slick with sweat despite the cool morning. This was not a routine job. No, this was something different, something bigger. The weight of the task he had been hired for pressed on him heavily.
The sniper’s eyes remained trained on the target—Virendra Rawat, the patriarch of the Rawat empire, a man who commanded respect, power, and fear. The sniper’s thumb slowly adjusted the windage dial on his rifle, measuring the distance, the angle, the wind—everything. Sweat trickled down the back of his neck as he checked the time. The moment had to be precise, the shot perfect. He couldn’t afford any mistakes.
He had been paid well for this. Too well. The money had been enough to silence any hesitation, but there was something about killing someone of Virendra’s stature that gnawed at him. This wasn’t a random target—it wasn’t an assassination for the money alone. There were layers to this job, a web of connections he couldn’t quite see. But those didn’t matter now.
His finger hovered over the trigger, the weight of the weapon heavy in his hands. His eyes flicked back to Virendra’s car, which was now slowing down at a red light. He couldn’t afford to lose his shot. Every second felt like an eternity. The sniper’s mouth was dry, but his resolve was hardening.
The car in front of Virendra’s SUV made a sharp turn, slowing down just enough to give the sniper the angle he needed. His breath hitched, but he didn’t move, didn’t waver. His focus was sharp, the rifle steady in his hands.
