I’m not constantly killing people. I don’t work Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, killing on the hour, every hour with a 45 minute lunch break.
Most jobs require lengthy planning and the cogs turn slowly. Particularly in the case of political jobs. These can require up to three months of careful preparation. Often times, I could be days or weeks ion one room, waiting for the ‘go’.
Generally, the number of hits are limited to about 6 or seven a year. Last year I had 11, which was unusual. Admittedly, a single hit could have a number of related casualties. Bodyguards and overprotective relatives can find themselves under the heading of ‘collateral damage’. But they still count as just one hit.
At my level and working for the people I work for, each mark pays extremely well. Realistically, I don’t need anymore that 3 or 4 big jobs a year to maintain my lifestyle. I’ve mentioned before that I do other work – even that work more than pays the bills. I only ever take on extra jobs when my regular clients request it. Truthfully, I think it’s safer I don’t decline these contracts.
