“Give me till afternoon.”
“Tara no!”
She ignored Alek's protests, fixing her eyes on the other party in the room. He dark red eyes looked her over once.
“I'll give anda till three after. Then I'll be back to collect you.”
“Come alone Kuran.”
He gave her a smile.
“I will.”
She nodded, watching as they left. Then she swiftly turned, exciting the room. Alek, Silver, Ciel, and Fang followed her; Fang for jawaban lebih than anything.
“Tara what are anda doing?! Who was that?”
Alek moved into her path and she avoided his eyes.
“Who is he?”
“His name is Satstruiku Kuran. He is an old....accomplice of mine.”
“What's that supposed to mean?”
“It means he is someone I know.”
“Tara-”
“I need no sympathy nor protection, Alek. He can't hurt me.”
“How do anda know?”
“He's a coward of brute strength an genius. He trusts his lackeys to handle threats.”
“Why does he want you?”
Tara paused. She didn't answer for a long time. She didn't know quite how to explain without exposing herself. Finally, she spoke up.
“That is nothing to concern yourself with.”
She brushed past Alek on her way to her room. He was able to grab her wrist but only for a menit before she pulled free. She closed and locked the door, leaning heavily against it. She could hear them knocking and speaking, but she couldn't comprehend what they were saying. She locked the vent, closing the grid. She wanted no intruders.
The room was suddenly hot and she stripped down to her shirt, pulling on shorts. She tied her hair up and collapsed on the bed. Lights flashed in front of her eyes. She closed them. Her breathing evened out again and she opened her eyes again. Everything was blurry and obscure. Her eyes closed again, this time sending her into sleep.

“Are we in position, Draxx?” Revenge whispered.
“Yes. All positions secure.”
“Excellent.”
“Are anda sure Grant won’t mind us doing this?” Draxx asked. “I mean this is his company.”
“What Grant doesn’t know, won’t hurt him.”
“That’s usually not true.”
Red Revenge laughed.
It took almost two hours for the assassin to appear. She slipped stealthily among the shadows.
“Target spotted.” Revenge said, picking up his gun and aiming it squarely at the feminine figure.
“On your signal.” Draxx radioed over.
Revenge aimed the sights, lined up the crosshairs, and pulled the trigger. The assassin began to scale the building.
“Now.” Revenge said, leaping from the roof of his company at the same minute.
