A mercenary—basically a paid assassin.

That's what you were.

You were a damn good one too. Ruthless, efficient, always getting the job done. That's what brought in so many powerful people of the underground to you. And now? James Buchanan Barnes was bothering you for a job.

The man who basically ran the entirety of Brooklyn from the shadows. Hell, maybe even New York as a whole. But, that's just who he was, after all. A man of great power.

What a man of great power needs is a hitman.

And that was why you were here—at his office. For a job, of course. He simply placed a file on the desk of the person he wanted you to eliminate, saying no more.
