Chapter Sixteen

"Nikolai, he's after me." Gabriella snapped into the phone as she made the satellite link from beyond the outpost where she gathered her grain. She had spent the better part of the day racing her pickup truck as far away from the homestead as possible. Tearing up the road, she had only one thought in her mind, which was separation from the man that was trained to kill with no regard for any kind of life.

"What are you talking about?" Nikolai was surprised by Gabriella’s tone, she was usually temperate and calm with everything that she said.

"It's Victor." She felt as if she was still short of breath, despite the fact that it had been many hours since she had set foot outside of the truck. "Victor came to me, he met me where I live. I thought I put too much in the way for him to find me, but it didn't stop him. He did unspeakable things."

"Slow down, Gabriella, what do you mean unspeakable things?" Nikolai asked worried. "And where is home? I don't even know where you live."

"I'm in Chile, Northern Chile. My husband and I were looking to move off the grid, so we set up here a number of years ago."

"Your husband?" Nikolai asked, on instinct rather than feeling. Despite the fact that their relationship had ended some time ago, the sharp jab of learning that she had been married hit Nikolai emotionally like he had not expected.

"Yes. I've been married for five years," Gabriella let her tone calm. She could sense Nikolai’s feelings at the other end of the phone, and the pain that was inflicting him about learning of another man who had captured her heart. "Well, we've been married over five years. But what Victor did is something I can't forget."

Nikolai exhaled deeply, holding his mouth away from the phone, he knew the words that were about to come, even before she said them.

"He killed Antonio." Gabriella tried to hold back the tears and maintain her composure. "That's my husband’s name, Antonio. He came here while I was gone and he killed him, Nikolai. And it was nothing fast, he tortured him, lit him on fire, wounded him so he couldn't run away."

"That sounds like Victor." Nikolai took in another deep breath and let it sink out of his body slowly. "He has no soul, and he has no conscience. It's what makes him a good agent, but also makes him a terrible human being."

"I just don't even see the point of it from a strategic point of view." Gabriella was still trying to make sense of it all. "I could understand if he’d waited for me, if he took a shot at me and tried to kill me. But instead, he went after my husband, and he didn't hold him hostage, he didn't do anything like that. Instead, he tried to make him turn on me first, and when he didn't agree, that's when he put his plan into motion to kill him.
