47- 15 Second Choke

  47 slipped his hand into his jacket pocket and grasped the Fiberwire. “Aw, man, you can’t let me see it?”

  “No, sir, I’m sorry.”

  The assassin jerked his head toward the helipad. “Then how come those people get to go back there?”

  The guard turned to see what the bald man was talking about. 47 swiftly threw the Fiberwire around the man’s neck and tightened it with both hands. Since the device had small grips on each end, it didn’t take much strength for 47 to choke the man to death.

  It took all of fifteen seconds. The guard slumped into 47’s arms. The hitman turned his head around again—all clear. Should he throw the man overboard? No, the body might be spotted as it floated away. A door leading to the hold was directly to his right, so 47 wrapped his arms around the corpse’s barrel chest and dragged it inside.
