You know the type. High security, weeks or months of stakeout, sniper three blocks away…
The hitman sorta things I recall from the news are either planned and executed by national intelligence agents or some savage gunning and running from hired brutes, but never the variant with sophistication and private sector.
There do exist out there, hitmen who are contracted to kill. I’d wager that the numbers are low and you’ll more likely run into sting operations.
Also it’s been proven that the more particular plans get, the more they actually fall apart and rely on both chance and luck. Simple plans with simple goals tend to go further and it is only by mere chance that they fall apart. Funny how that works.
