Summary
So I've been following Strike's news reports from the first time I saw a tweet about him. And I thought, it's too bad that the reporters only get to see the end result. I want to know about the way he takes down these DBs and gets them to the cops.
So I took all of the details I could find about the scenes and wrote up a story. If you have suggestions for changes, let me know.

Summary
killer1992: Looking to take out a hit on a guy. Easy job, no security to get around. 5k.
Bucky looks around the cafe full of people, halfway convinced that the whole thing is a joke. But the only person who should have that email address is Nat, and even though that ridiculous username is exactly her kind of humor, she would never joke about something like this. He should delete the email, pretend he never saw it. But...
Bucky: Are you fucking kidding me with this? Five grand?
killer1992: I’m not kidding. It’s an in and out job. The guy won’t know what hit him, lives in an apartment with no security. You could do it with one eye closed.
Bucky: So why don't you do it yourself?
killer1992: Okay here's the thing
Bucky's eyebrows shoot up. This should be interesting.
