Make sure you don’t leave your prints on his body.” “We’re not that lucky and if he is dead, good. Now let me make sure he’s still breathing.” “Would you stop? If he was going to attack, we’d already be dead. It ended badly for the idiot with the light and wasn’t any better for the one who went off into the dark.” “Hold the light? Are you out of your minsid mind? I saw this movie. She wasn’t about to pay him back by leaving him here in the gutter. No doubt, anyone else wouldn’t hesitate to run.īut she wasn’t normal and most days her intelligence hid like a skittish virgin at a raunchy bachelor party.īesides, she owed Jinx for what he’d done. That would be the intelligent thing to do. That makes this guy a Second Rank Commander.” First would have red stitching like our friend, but with a crown over the sword hilt. “Third has black skull-and-dagger stitching only. She’d never seen an assassin that high-ranking, but Jinx was close. Black suits usually only work solo.” That was what made them so incredibly lethal. ![]() Jedi turned around and scanned the street and alley. ![]() I didn’t know what you were doing and I was worried.” He took the light from her and shined it on the face of the very man who’d saved her. Of course, his ability to move like a ghost was exactly why she’d hired him, but at the moment. “Damn It, Jed! You scared the shit out of me! Make some noise when you move!” How anyone so tall could be so quiet, she’d never understand. “Holy fuck!” Jedi’s low, unexpected voice made her jump.

But again, people just assumed it was a human color since she lacked the traditional Andarion fangs.īut she didn’t want anyone sneaking up on her. The only hint she had of her Andarion genes was her black hair that she kept in warrior braids and the paleness of her blue eyes that were almost silver in color. Indeed, humans passed off her darker complexion and tall, athletic build as Hyshian and she let them. They didn’t have her heightened vision or hearing that she’d inherited from her grandmother. Most would never have seen it, but most people weren’t part Andarion. Making sure to cling to the shadows, she skimmed them until she was at the opening and could peer in without being seen. ![]() Since her life hung in the balance, she wanted to assess the threat before she casually dismissed it. A hobo finding a spot for a bed or a drink. She gestured for him to stay put as she crept toward the alley behind them. Eve gently pulled Jedi behind her so that she could stare into the dark.
