"We will start with a simple precision test. I suppose you know how they work"

"I do"

"Good. You will be tested with different weapons. And... make sure to impress the Director"

"Are you sure it is necessary, sir?"

"All new operatives have to go through this tests, Wren"

Danger picks up a pistol. He aims at the nearest target and hits it 4 times in the head.

"Impressive. But that is too easy"

"Now, use the assault rifle"

Danger puts down the pistol and picks up the assault rifle. He aims at the farthest target and hits 15 shots in the head

"It's impossible to be that precise. How?"

"For the next part, we need to go outside"

Danger and Rose go outside to another shooting range, while the Director and Wren watch from a remote camera

"Tell him to hit the farthest target"

"Sir, it is impossible to hit..."

"I am sure he can"

Danger picks up a heavy sniper rifle

"Do you see the farthest target?"

"Yes"

"Try to hit it"

Danger aims, takes a moment, breaths in and pulls the trigger

"Only a few operatives have hit it, and even less in the head"

"We have found a new prodigy"

"Yes, we have"

Danger and Rose go back inside

"I have a feeling this was the easy part"

"It wasn't. Have you been in the military?"

"No. Why?"

"The only people I have seen with such precision are defectors from special operations"

"The only reason I can do that is because of my years as a freelancer"

"How many?"

"From the moment I remember myself..."

Boston, Massachusetts

After a few days

Rose calls Danger

"Rose. Do we have a new mission?"

"Yes"

"What is our target?"

"A millionaire. You need to come to New York for the brief"

"Address?"

"The skyscraper with the penthouse built in 2006"

"Can I bring an... associate with me?"

"Will they be aware of our other targets?"

"No. We have been working together for some years. He is trustworthy, I promise"

"Good. We will also have two other operatives"

"So this is a high-value target"

"Indeed. He is the prime "investor" in Phoenix"

"I understand. I will meet you at 7 pm"

Danger gets into the car and calls another number

"Meet me at the telephone booth next to the Seven Eleven. I have a new contract for us"
