““It seemed only polite to consider the plea from a target to alter the method of his own death, whilst accepting the death itself as inevitable. In all his years as a professional assassin, he had never been in such a situation. People had begged before, to no avail, but always to survive, never to die in a manner of their own choosing. Pulling off an accident that attracted no suspicion was no small feat – hence the overdose, either with cooperation or forced – but an accident with the victim’s assistance was a different matter””
