Chapter Fifteen

“You train with them daily?” Arrow asked in a near whisper.

Bullet nodded but kept her gaze on the ten young females in the clearing below them. “I do. Would you like to join in today?”

Arrow shook her head and strangely wanted to rub her chest. “I am too close to death, Bullet. My need to draw blood is ferocious. I sparred with Killian before I left Arequipa a year ago. I almost killed her.”

Now Killian was somewhere in the world, doing Joseph’s bidding. Perhaps it would have been easier if Arrow had killed her.

Bullet nodded again but her gaze never stopped roving over the babies. Each of the children’s stories was different but the same as First Team’s. Taken and changed, stripped of their given names, they were molded to become something no child should ever have to contemplate. Killers.

“I wonder how Mother would feel?” Arrow mused aloud.

Bullet’s gaze sliced to Arrow. “About what?”

Arrow inclined her head to the babies.

“She doesn’t have to worry about them anymore. They are ours,” Bullet whispered.

“They have always been ours,” Arrow replied. She sighed then. “I must leave soon, sister. Lei Wang is moving on our interests,” Arrow murmured.

“Will you take Adam with you?”

Arrow cocked her head. There was a veil over Bullet’s question and she sifted through the layers to determine just what her sister was asking.

“The men of Trident are not my allies. I have no allies, Bullet. I have sisters and that is enough.” She shrugged finally. “I do not need help.”

Bullet grunted. “None of us need help.”

“Then why did you ask?”

Bullet turned her head and speared Arrow with her gaze. “I have seen how you look at him when his eyes aren’t on you.”

Arrow’s heart quickened and took a slide into her stomach before she pulled her emotions together. Thoughts of Adam Collins disturbed the calm waters of her mind. She worried about that constantly now.

Bullet sighed. “Your lack of response is all the response I need. I’ll leave it alone for now, sister. When do you plan to hit Lei?”

“Within the week I will leave. From there my journey may twist and turn. There is nothing to be done for it. I must enter China and this means utilizing Grant.” Arrow sighed now and accepted the frustration inherent in dealing with Grant.

He was a pushy man who thought because he was ex-CIA he had all the answers and could never be defeated. He was the friend of an enemy of her enemy. He was a valuable tool in her arsenal but a human tool nonetheless. This made him unpredictable.

“You realize Grant has an agenda?” Bullet inquired softly.

“But of course. He is a man and as such prone to all sorts of grandiose ideas,” Arrow returned.

“There was a woman in the woods of Arequipa when I arrived with Trident. Grant knew she was there, in fact, did everything he could to protect her from me.”

Arrow took a deep breath. “Is it her?”

Bullet shrugged but in the air hung her sister’s suspicion.
