The battle seemed to be dying down but Usha didn’t care. She hoped her group was winning but again, that wasn’t relevant at the moment. Only one thing was—finding Rion Grisham and killing him. She had wrapped herself in a force shield to avoid unexpected attacks and held her sword one-handed and reversed so the blade pointed back on her right side. She kept her other hand free just in case.

A hail of bullets forced her into cover as the leader of the Zatoras darted up from behind his marble protection. She crawled toward the center of the room, hidden by the wooden pews that separated her position from his. Options for killing him were everywhere—the grand lamps that hung above the front part of the church could be yanked down and the large statues on their high pedestals could be toppled. If she wanted to, she could probably even hit the object he used for cover hard enough to crush him.

But, after all that she’d been through, she needed to make it personal. The fact that he was still around when he should have tried to run told her he felt the same. When she reached the center, she looked at the rubble against the far wall and reached out both her hand and her magic. One of the large pieces of stone, about half her height, glided toward her and hovered in the middle of the aisle. She stepped forward behind it and raced to the altar.

Bullets cracked against her makeshift shield. The impacts flowed through her magical connection and made her ache, but she maintained it. When she reached Grisham’s cover, she leapt over it and released the stone to crash into the obstruction. She landed cleanly but he wasn’t there. Usha dove forward as more rounds whipped past. Quickly, she scrambled to her feet and hurled a wide wave of force in that direction, and her opponent catapulted into the marble pulpit. His head met it first with a resounding thwack, and his face slackened as he slid down it. The pistols he held in each hand fell away.

The Atlantean gang leader crossed the space between them slowly, her gaze fixed on her adversary. When she arrived, he looked dazedly at her and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He laughed hoarsely. “So. You outplayed me.”

“You cared about the wrong thing. You were fighting for money and power. I was fighting for my people.”

He coughed and took several moments to catch his breath before he replied. “Keep telling yourself that. It won’t make it true.”

With a sharp motion, Usha slashed the blade across his body to ensure he wouldn’t speak again. She turned and faced the main chamber, where the battle had ended.

“Zatoras still alive, your organization is dead,” she shouted. “Get out of my city in the next twelve hours or you will be, too.”
