Three weeks earlier, I was drinking instant coffee at my kitchen counter, scrolling through emails. The pay for this job was twice my normal rate. Client wanted someone erased from every database - government, private, everything. Not just killed - completely removed from existence.

@alonicus - Assault Zeppelins
Sand crunched as the submersible grounded on the darkened beach. An inch of the black-painted boat was visible above the waves lapping the shore. The stern of the vessel was down a little and washed by the waves.
