Bitchiprocity

Killing is too merciful for someone who should suffer, so murder for hire doesn't give the client nearly as much satisfaction as watching the adversary's world transform into a living nightmare. The agency charged a fortune but could deliver the ugliest fates imaginable: financial ruin, being reviled by friends and family, imprisonment, and abject humiliation. The agency prospered, by schadenfreude, until their operatives encountered a seemingly easy mark in an inconsequential place. They learn, at great cost, that kindness is not weakness, that truth endures past deception, and that destiny favors the righteous.
