Chapter Fifteen

“Rahman’s dead.”

Janelle laid down her pencil on her drafting table and sat up straight, burner phone to her ear. “When?” she asked the young woman on the other end. One of her most trusted members of her personal guard.

“Last night. Murdered in his bedroom at the compound.”

“How?”

“Stabbed through the neck while sitting in a chair. Killer used another blade to pin his hand to the armrest.”

Interesting. The team sent on her orders to intercept Kiyomi had all been killed. “What kind of blades?”

“I don’t know yet. There’s no security footage. I only found out from a source in the medical examiner’s office.” A pause. “Did you order it?”

She snorted. “Don’t be ridiculous.” Though she’d been tempted more than a few times. If Rahman hadn’t been so committed to finding Kiyomi, he would have been a liability. With all his military and security connections, under different circumstances she might have regarded him as a threat.

“Was it one of us?”

“No. It was our target.”

A kill like that, up close and personal, signified a strong emotional connection to the victim. She had experienced that phenomenon herself several times, most recently when she’d killed that asshole Glenn Bennett, the CIA officer she had fucked once upon a time to get what she needed.

He’d known too much. Then he’d panicked, and talked too much. So she’d slit his throat and left his severed tongue lying on the floor for talking too much.

Rahman’s killer had hated him too. Janelle felt a rush of pride and affection.

Ah, Kiyomi. So full of fire and resolve even after all you’ve been through.

Was it any wonder why she was Janelle’s favorite? And if Janelle was right about everything she’d hypothesized so far, then now that Rahman had been dealt with, Kiyomi would be going back to the UK as soon as possible. To where she and the others seemed to feel safest right now. Janelle’s hired team had failed, but this might give her a way to finally track her prized target.

“So we’re not implicated in any way?” the woman asked her. “There’s no way for them to trace anything back to you? One of the men you sent is still missing. Rahman might have talked.”

“It doesn’t matter.” She wasn’t worried. Rahman never knew her identity. But for precaution’s sake, she needed to be proactive and act accordingly. “What about the surveillance team in the UK?”

“They haven’t seen anyone coming or going from the estate yet.”

“Tell them to drag it out for another few days. We may see something by the end of the week.” If the Valkyries had been staying there, it was possible that a team of them had flown to Syria to provide Kiyomi with backup.

Janelle would have to search recent flight data in and out of airfields near Damascus. “Inform me if you find out anything more. In the meantime, I’m initiating the next phase and mobilizing the others. Stand by for further orders.”

Disconnecting, she began packing up her designs. She’d always lived a nomadic
