One such home was of special interest to the agent because it was located at the end of the<br />

dock, directly across from the unit the target lived in. An elderly woman was kneeling on the<br />

front deck, tending a flower box full of bright red geraniums, as 47 directed the boat in toward<br />

her one-story houseboat.<br />

“Your flowers are very healthy,” he said, as the gap between the two of them closed. “What do<br />

you feed them?” The entire time he spoke, he remained aware of the target's houseboat, but saw<br />

no sign of activity.<br />

Even with the weather, there were several rowers out on the lake, and the woman must have<br />

been accustomed to such compliments, because she registered no sense of alarm as the stranger<br />

allowed one of his oars to rest on her wooden deck. Her name was Grace Beasley, and wisps of<br />

gray hair stuck out from under the blue rain hat her dead husband liked to wear while golfing.<br />

Her eyes were like chips of turquoise mounted in sockets of wrinkled skin. A plaid shirt and a<br />

pair of black pants completed her outfit.<br />

“I use regular fertilizer,” Mrs. Beasley admitted. “But the key is to pinch off the spent blooms.<br />

That makes them flower again.”<br />

“Well, it certainly works,” 47 said, admiringly. “By the way, might I have a drink of water? I<br />

should have brought some, but I forgot, and it's a long ways back to the dock.”<br />

The request seemed innocent enough, so Mrs. Beasley said, “Yes, of course. I'll be right back.”<br />

She stepped through a sliding glass door that led into a comfortably furnished living room and<br />

the small galley-style kitchen beyond.<br />

A moment later he found her there, removing a bottle of chilled water from her refrigerator. A<br />

large hand closed over mouth. Mrs. Beasley tried to scream, felt something bite her neck, and<br />

instantly began to fall.<br />

Agent 47 caught the unconscious woman and carried her into the single bedroom, where he laid<br />

her out on the neatly made bed. <strong>To</strong> make doubly sure that she would remain immobilized for the<br />

necessary length of time, he bound her wrists and ankles with some of her own nylons.<br />

Confident that the elderly woman wasn't about to go anywhere, he set about his real task, which<br />

was to enter the neighboring houseboat and have a chat with its owner.<br />

A task that would be easier said than done, he thought, since his target was an assassin herself,<br />

and was sure to have a variety of security measures in place. Just as he would.<br />

So 47 turned out the lights in the living room, but left everything else as it was, knowing that<br />

the slightest deviation from the way the old lady normally did things could attract attention.<br />

First, he subtly adjusted the position of what had once been Mr. Beasley's favorite chair, placing<br />

it where someone would have to actually press their nose against the glass in order to see him as<br />

he settled back to wait.<br />

Finally, after an hour had passed, the assassin was reasonably certain of two things. The first
