- +2000 XP.

Walkthrough[]
(Note that while it is possible to easily get this challenge completed by activating a Contract on any isolated guard (such as the one in front of the garage) and blowing them up with a grenade, this guide shows how to safely do this on the main Nightcall mission by killing Alma Reynard.)
- Start the mission with an ICA Proximity Explosive. Bringing in Emetic Pills saves a bit of time but isn't required.
- Enter the house and locate the two vials of Emetic Rat Poison: one is in the lower right-hand corner of the downstairs bathroom and the other is on a shelf in the storage space near the garage. Skip the latter if you brought Emetic Pills.
- Throw the Proximity Explosive in front of the toilet in the downstairs bathroom.
- Poison both the honey and the sugar on the kitchen counter. Which one Alma asks Orson to use seems to be random, so it's safest to poison both.
- Enter the office, get the security dongle, and interact with the laptop to make Alma spawn in. From there, events will play out on their own.
