47- KO Chokehold

  The assassin allowed the man to clear the elevator bay and start pushing the cart down the hall before setting out behind him. 47 followed the bellhop until the man reached the destination room. The hitman glanced around to verify that no one was looking, then moved swiftly behind the bellhop, wrapped his arm across the man’s neck, and applied pressure. The choke hold efficiently rendered the bellhop unconscious without a sound.

  The employee sagged in 47’s arms like a rag doll. The hitman unceremoniously dropped him on the cart, searched him for the keycard, unlocked the room, and rolled the cart inside. By now the bellhop started to stir. 47 dumped him on the bed and set to work removing the man’s uniform. When the bellhop regained ample consciousness, the assassin simply applied the choke hold again.

  In five minutes, 47 was dressed in the bellhop’s clothing. The hitman then removed sheets from the bed and used them to tie up and gag the employee. 47 left him on the bed, took his own discarded clothes in hand, and exited. He made a quick stop on his own floor to drop off the clothing in his room, then headed back to the first floor.
