"Pizza!" Noise. No words, but there are footsteps approaching the door. "PIZZA."

"I'm, I... hfff, I..." (growling?) "...I'm sorry, I didn't order a pizza."

She leans against the door, giving an exaggerated sigh. "Well.. I mean, it's not like it's gonna get where it was supposed to, now. Want it anyway?"

"Oh! Nnnnhhh... nuh... no, I couldn't, I'd feel bad. It's... someone else's. I could, I couldn't eat a stranger's food."

"Okay, well, your loss."

The building wasn't up to code. The wall didn't have emergency ladders for the 01-05 apartments, and her target lived in 401.

They'd told her the target was "not social," not that he was a shut-in. There were only so many ways to get into an apartment when the door has multiple locks and interior hinges. She couldn't just wait in the lobby for days on end. She'd tried; someone reported her for vagrancy. The only building with a vantage point for sniping him through his window had experienced a fire before she'd gotten the assignment.

There had to be a way to get to him. She'd find one.

He shook his head as he walked back to his computer. There was a message waiting for him on AIM, a generic what's up, from one of his Alliance guildies. He dropped into his chair and began typing.
