Kill Fest
Page 77The New York City subway system spans miles of endless tracks, spider webbing throughout the city limits and the surrounding boroughs enabling passengers never ending access to any given location of their desire. The central location for this network is Penn Station located directly under Madison Square Garden. On any given day, millions of people ride the system to and from work passing through this highly populated tremendously leveled structure. On this date in May, millions of these people will go about their day oblivious to the six professional assassins who are about to wage war upon this very site.
Tom Crow, master of the ambush attack, found he could hide within the mass amounts of the populace. His plan was to sneak up as part of the inhabitants and when a target was sighted, move among the citizens until he could strike fast and vanish back into the vast population. Trouble was in a massive community of nonstop moving souls, finding one or more of his cohorts would not as easy as he first thought.
As he walked along one of the train platforms, he found being a man of only 5 foot 7 both help and a hindrance. His short stature was aiding his concealment from his foes but he found himself unable to see past no more than ten or so people ahead of him at any given time. Ivan on the other hand with his great height, found he could see over any number of people without any obstructions. Yet unless the big man sighted his target first, he was open to attack for he could not hide so well within the population. His plan was to stand with his back up upon a wall and gaze straight forward into the public. If he were lucky, he would spot an adversary before they could pop off a shot on him.
Ivan's eyes scanned the surrounding area but due to his failing eye sight at age 60, he had a great deal of trouble picking out faces among the hundreds of people about him. He began to fear that someone would sneak up on him and take him out before he could react. Never meeting any of his rivals in person and only going by photos of them on the web site didn't make it any easier for him. It was in fact, a disadvantage for any one of them and had to remember each Kill Fest member by memory only.
In the back of each competitors mind lurked the thought that once someone made that all important first shot, all hell would break loose from that point on and law enforcement would then be brought into play as well. They not only had to fight each other but hundreds of armed cops as well.
