With the arrival of William Cole took his leave, he didn't prefer to associate with any of the assassins unless absolutely necessary. He had his marching orders and someone to give him a weapon there was no need for him to stick around.
"Just take me to the armory." He said to the maid instructed to give him a weapon, making him wonder why there was only maid in the house and no butlers. He just followed the maid not paying attention to where he was going, nor did he care, as long as he got there in one piece he had no plans of mapping out the cavernous estate. Once in the armory, which was just as extravagant as the rest of the mansion, Cole immediately knew which rifle to take from the armory. He walked up to the wall of weapons of all kinds, some antiques, some brand new, and others just outlandish. He chose the
M40A1 , a sniper rifle used by the marines during the Vietnam war. Compared to other rifles it was a bit out dated, and fired a smaller round, but it was deadly accurate. As an added bonus to the accuracy it was easy to find this weapon on the black market since there was lots of the rifles left behind. If the cops suddenly show up and he needed to abandon the rifle it would like the work of local gangs or triads. Cole loaded the rifle up and took five extra shells, just in case, before leaving to go get set up. He knew a place with a good view of the meeting that was inconspicuous. There was an office building that was owned and operated by a friend, once again friend being used loosely, the man owed Cole a favor so he could set up there. Unless he was delayed he would be able to make it there before anyone else would.
