CHAPTER 19

THOR TOOK A LONG PULL from his glass of bourbon and leaned back in his seat. With his eyes closed, he took a deep breath and reflected on his failed attempt to take out Brady Hawk. On one hand it was a professional embarrassment. Thor couldn’t deny that his arrogance had cost him the chance to eliminate his nemesis and claim his spot as one of the world’s most lethal assassins. On the other hand, he’d taken a swing at Hawk and survived. Not many people—if any—could say that.

The overlords at The Chamber, namely Katarina Petrov, wouldn’t be pleased with the result. The organization didn’t hire Thor to almost kill targets. No, they expected successful mission after successful mission. It was the only way to stay on their good side, much less their payroll. While Thor had built up a significant amount of equity with his new employers, Hawk’s head was the one trophy kill Thor promised them. And he’d failed … this time.

Thor typed up a short message and sent it straight to Petrov. He wasn’t going to try come up with an excuse for why he’d botched the operation, though he knew deep down it had everything to do with his deep-seeded belief that he was superior to Hawk. But Hawk had surprised Thor. Several years ago when they’d essentially competed for the top agent within Firestorm, Thor always felt like Hawk had won due to dumb luck. Less than two hours after a bungled attempt on Hawk’s life, Thor questioned his own judgment.

Maybe Hawk is better.

Thor quickly dismissed the idea and started to hatch another plot to take out his archrival. If Thor hoped to maintain the backing of The Chamber, who’d generously funded his assignment, he needed to present a plan for moving forward, a plan for how he’d take out Hawk in a future encounter.

The plane leveled out, and Thor leaned forward. He peered out the window at the majestic landscape below. He wished he’d had more time to explore it. But that day would come in due time. Until then, he needed to figure out a way to take out Hawk.
