Mireille had accepted a contract on a head of organized crime who worked in a tall office building. She was receiving some instructions from her contact.

"You'll need this swipe-card," the contact said. "Go directly to the stairwell— there are security cameras in the elevators. Your man is on the 68th floor."

Mireille sighed, and reminded herself to bring low-heeled shoes. "Is his office near the stairwell?"

"Yes," the contact said, "but it's heavily guarded. You'll have to crawl through a heating duct, and then creep along an outside window ledge..."

Mireille found herself in a mood to kill already.
