I jump out of the car early enough so my next victims won't get alarmed and also to have a better vision and ability to spot them before they spot me. I get off road on foot and try to spot any enemies around the house I was ordered to clean up with my scope. I count two, and one of them is wandering a bit further. A take that as an opportunity to get closer. When I get there I notice the one guard closer to the building is alone and has his back turned on me. I can't resist and attempt to sneak behind him to nail the guy before his friend gets back. Just before I shoot I notice the other guard is much closer than I thought and almost panic. I'm so close I decide not to waste an opportunity and finish the first guard cleanly with two shots and then run like a headless chicken behind the building. Once I'm there I curse I didn't pay more attention to the second guard and have no accurate info on his position. I decide to go around the building, and once I'm again in front trying to locate the survivor I hear he is behind me. I turn around hastily thinking this is it and remind myself to be more careful in next life, but instead the guy just runs past me and lets me run after him and finish him after turning to shoot back a bit for show.
After sleeping for a few hours in the house I secured I get another errand and get my car and start heading towards it. I sneak around the guard post I was told to seek out and do some scouting up from a cliff. I get a call from my new boss and am told about a hostage in the building front of me. Great. This is not going to turn into a babysitting job, is this?
I spot a group of enemies gathered together down amongst the buildings, and decide to sneak closer, my lead idea being a grenade taking them all out at once. They will probably spread out before I get close enough, but I figure they will gather in the same spot again if I just wait a while. So I cross the road and go around the facilities, but before I find a spot to hide someone somewhere else apparently sees me and opnes fire. I don't know who or from where, but I start running wildly to what I think is the opposite direction. They get a shot or two at my back while I run, but I manage to get behing a big rock and catch my breath. After I come out of hiding I notice only one hostile followed. I nail him and go back to the same cliff to gather some intel and find out what I exactly I have against me. Some son of a gun spots me though and opens fire. Cursing I back out again, and start searching for another way in. My map shows the routes to get around in this country are stupidly narrow, so I have to bite the bullet and get in from the direction they are expectin me from. I don't see anyone around so I feel safe enough to get a bit closer in completely open, even if I do think even while I'm doing it that it's maybe not the smartest approach.
I spot an unsuspicious looking guard in the distance and get an idea. I open fire from afar, trying to get them to come to the open. I'm not sure if I'm able to finish the unlucky victim, he either falls on the ground dead or just wanders off my field of vision. I do get some goons running at me and am able to open fire at them before they get close enough to start shooting themselves. Like sitting ducks, I chuckle to myself. One of them manages to get quite close though, close enough to get a bullet under my skin. I almost panic thinking I was too careless again, but am able to solve the situation and finish rest of the guards coming out of their hiding places. At one point I celebrate a bit too early and start counting my loot too soon before all hostiles in the vicinity are dead, but fortunately I spot movement in bushes soon enough to back out before it's too late. I finish the remaining enemy, collect any ammunition from my victims and start carefully advancing towards the building containing the hostage.
