Stay at the wedding... and a new target

"Now that you know the scarlet bloom is a fake, you're ready for the real assignment."

You were careful not to show your annoyance to the handler but it was difficult. The entire thing was a setup then?

"The new target is Holden Parry's father. He needs to die. It needs to either look like an accident, suicide, or someone from his own family killed him." she finished.

You were shocked. Yeah assassination operations were ostensibly part of the job but not usually in such a high profile social gathering like this.

Knowing you couldn't do anything though, you simply nodded. "It'll get done."

"Good" She replied. "I'll be switching skins so the next time you see Alexandra's mother, she'll be the real deal. You have carte blanche on how to procede. Just know your extraction will be a blue sedan out front. Challenge is 'You got a light' and your response should be "Lights in the Night Sky.""

You committed the protocol to memory and nodded. Your handler stepped out and you turned back around to the mirror, checking your getup. The dress was still miraculously white and it showed all the right curves while still leaving some parts hidden.

After a few minutes there was another knock on the door.

Opening it you see Alexandra's mother in the same blue dress she was wearing while she was being worn by your handler.

"Oh sweetie! You look incredible!" Stepping inside she lightly grabbed you by the shoulders to get a better look at you.

You blush and smile. "Thank you mother" was your soft reply.

"We have quite a lot to do." She said.

Indeed you did. For the next minutes Alexandra's mother applied finishing makeup touches to your face, and helped to tighten the bodice of the dress.

Now you had two choices. Go through the Wedding Ceremony first and deal with your target at the Reception or try to explore the compound, and your options, before the time came for the ceremony?
