CHAPTER 10

By the time Kahllah got off the long flight from LAX to Dulles International Airport, she was tired…more tired than she could ever recall being. Not just physically tired, but mentally too. The events of the last few days had her drained and there was still so much to do. She prayed to the creator to give her the strength she would need to carry her through to the end.

She’d tried to get some sleep during the flight, but found no rest. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the bloody images from the house. Since she was a little girl Kahllah’s heart and mind had been hardened to the sight of death and destruction. It was all a part of the necessary cycle of life, but there were those rare instances when things hit too close to home and she couldn’t help but to feel it, such as when she had found Gucci’s body.

Kahllah and Gucci had only known each other a few short years, but the circumstances that brought them together helped to form what would grow into a sisterly bond. Gucci had proven to Kahllah that she genuinely loved her brother and would do whatever it took to protect him, just as he would for her. Often they’d speak of the risks that came with being with a man like Animal, and while Gucci acknowledged the danger she never budged from his side. They were soul mates and only death could part them…so it did. The sound that came from her brother when she broke the news to him about Gucci was like nothing she had ever heard. It was like the baying of a dozen hounds howling at a blood moon. Something had died inside him, but something had also been awakened. There was no doubt in Kahllah’s mind how Animal would react to his wife being killed and his children kidnapped; he would follow the trail of blood to its source and attempt to take his vengeance against those who had wronged him, even if it meant fighting a war he had no hopes of winning. For what they had done to Gucci he would gladly walk into the fires of hell and spit in the devil’s face, and that’s exactly what he was doing by going against the cartel and the woman who now led them.

To most she was known as Lilith, wife of the drug chieftain Poppito and the one now pulling the strings of the cartel, but Kahllah knew by a different name. Many years ago she had been called Tiger Lily, one of the most highly successful assassins within the Brotherhood of Blood and Kahllah’s instructor. Tiger Lily had been renowned for both her ruthlessness and her skill with blades, especially the uniquely crafted tiger claws which she used to dispatch her victims. It had been more than ten years since Kahllah had laid eyes on her old teacher and she had thought her to be dead until she found her sitting at the head of the Puerto Rican drug cartel.
