This idea can be done\/written a couple different ways depending on what direction I decide to go in.<\/p>\n

The first pic is what started the initial idea and what will be the main part of the story.<\/p>\n

A business dude at night was my shorthand for this pic and it goes as follows. He\u2019s in town\/city for a meeting or to check in on a project. I\u2019m leaning towards him being the head or co-owner of a business and he\u2019s doing an audit on something that his company has been working on for a while and it\u2019s almost time to go live with it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d say he\u2019s on the phone with his business partner or biggest investor letting him know he just got into town and they\u2019re going into details of stuff. Whatever it is, it\u2019s an all-night thing, hence the coffee.<\/p>\n

The guy isn\u2019t annoyed but rather just ready to be done with whatever the \u2018thing\u2019 is for the business. Maybe some kind of delay happened and set them back. They\u2019ll still make tons of money but he\u2019s ready to move onto other things now.<\/p>\n

Now the second pic is where things pick up (no pun intended) as our businessman is trying to grab a taxi or maybe an Uber, and he\u2019s being taken to the site where he\u2019ll be all night.<\/p>\n

Assuming he makes it, as he\u2019s been targeted for assassination. It\u2019s something he\u2019s never even considered happening to him. He\u2019s successful but not private security successful.<\/p>\n

The part of the story that can\/will change the idea most is who is the assassin? Do I use a brand new character completely and this is their introduction into The Merc Series Universe or use somebody already established? I\u2019m leaning towards a middle ground approach in that it will feature a character mentioned before somewhere else but hasn\u2019t appeared in a story yet.<\/p>\n

Once the assassin character is decided upon, the rest of the story can take shape.<\/p>\n
