- "Time to regain focus. According to Birdie, strip club owner Don Osmond is Blake Dexter's informant. He put the arms dealer on Victoria's trail. I will remove him from the equation before he causes any more damage. Personal note: Birdie did not give me this information out of the goodness of his heart. He stands much to gain by Osmond's death. This is a fragile alliance. I have to tread carefully."

Hunter and Hunted is the fifth mission of Hitman: Absolution. It consists of 7 segments (making it the longest mission in the game): Courtyard, The Vixen Club, Dressing Rooms, Derelict Building, Convenience Store, Loading Area, and Chinese New Year.
Mission Information[]
Hunter and Hunted takes place in a seedy portion of Chicago, and eventually the Vixen Club. Here Agent 47 is to kill the club owner, Dom Osmond, who has been working as a criminal informant for Blake Dexter.
Later, 47 finds a recorded phone message from Wade, who tells Osmond he's searching for Birdie. 47 subsequently calls to warn Birdie, and begins to head in his direction. Upon arriving at the Chinatown square, three of Wade's crew - Bill Dole, Larry Clay, and Frank Owens - are in the area looking to purchase Birdie's file from the Chicago P.D., and quickly become targets.
In this mission, if you are already watching Mr. Owens to commit suicide, and Dole was killed, you will be shocked if your rating changed.
