Remotely

Sasha clicked her tongue. Her phone buzzed. Ah, here we go again. She smiled. Who would have thought she would enjoy working right from the comfort of her own home.

She set up her devices. Now the real fun would begin in just a moment. A giant screen emerged from behind a sealed wall. Sasha snapped her fingers, and the device which had a range of satellites to send her all the data that she needed turned on.

She grabbed a few remotes and pressed several buttons. The screen switched from the satellite view of the earth to a closer location within a mountain range.

Sasha clicked some more buttons. A couple of drones surrounded the spot on the map.

She squinted her eyes and focused on her work. Where was he hiding?

The drones moved about the mansion searching for their target. They encountered guards by the main entrance and front doors. But they were hit in seconds. They didn’t even have time to realize what was going on.

Her drones carried on with the search. They moved into the living and kitchen area. Nothing. Then there was a loud blast. Sasha saw great flames through the front and side cameras of the drones. The fire was coming from the corridor.

She directed the drones to fly a bit on higher ground. They swerved to and fro, trying to avoid being caught in the fire.

Sasha spotted a figure running away. Whoever it was they seemed to not have noticed the drones hovering near the ceiling. The drones swooped in for a dive in attack mode.

The figure waved their hands in surrender thinking they might be lucky today. Sasha sighed. Did he seriously think this was going to work. She selected kill mode. The weapons on the drones fired at the figure. He shut his eyes and clasped his hands.

Sasha blinked at the sight. Was he praying? Well, she hoped he remembered to say a little prayer for the guards, too.

The drones shots never missed their mark. The figure was lying face down on the floor. His body lay still in his pool of blood.

Her work for the day was complete. She signed out of the program. The drones made their way to the company site.

She wondered if her boss had tuned in for the live feed of the job. Or if he would just stick to view the saved recording.
