#610 The Finisher

While working my way through this part of the story, I realized that if the Finisher wanted to be REALLY clever, he would gain the characters' trust just like this, then trick them into being killed by the security agency. This would fulfill his contract hit while also "hiding the bodies" by having them killed legally by law enforcement. While this would make the Finisher seem like a pretty slick assassin, it would also result in our heroes being dead, so I couldn't do it.

And besides, the hit is off. The Finisher is professional enough to look beyond the loss of his team and see the long-term circumstances.
