of beer, and some favours owed... (I have friends who work as bouncers,
which means they personally know the right people) So I expect that for
a few six-packs and a few hundred rand (ie less than $100) I could also
get them killed... *But*, and this is a big But, somebody who works for
that kind of fee can't possibly be any good... Sure, the target will
die, but the, erm, agent (good a word as any) will probably get caught,
and if he gets caught, he will probably name you as his employer once
interrogation gets under way.

And up, up, UP! - depending on who your target is, how paranoid they
are and how good their security is. You could probably get a relative
nobody killed without any fallout on your head for somewhere in the ten
thousand range. A hundred thousand could get a local big name offed
(the mayor of a mid-sized city, "C. Montgomery Burns"). Maybe 500k for
the mayor of Chicago or New York or another such big city, or for the
governor of a hick state (not naming any names :) ). You'd be looking
into the millions for someone of international fame (Governor of
Seattle in 2061, Michael Jackson (he might rate higher, though, because
of his security)). And tens (or possibly even hundreds) of millions
would get you the head of the President of the US/UCAS/Russia etc. etc.
etc.
And of course, if you're hiring the absolute best assassin you can for
the job, increase the base payment by a street index of 10 or more. :)
Anyway, that'd be my take on it. Killings are cheap. Assassinations are
pricey. End of story.
*Doc' reckons he could have someone off the Australian Prime Minister
untraceably for a couple of thou...*
