Viper glanced over her shoulder at the door, noting the tall woman standing outside, talking on a phone. Turning her attention back to the shot glass on the bar in front of her, she nodded in thanks to the bartender and reached for the shot. She tossed it back, the top shelf vodka sliding down her throat easily.

“How's it looking?” Hawk's voice asked, his voice reverberating from the ear bud positioned deep in her ear.

She set the glass down on the highly polished wood and turned away from the bar.

“Two so far,” she replied, her voice low. “I'm bringing them up now.”

“Only two? That's boring.”

She strode out of the bar, passed the tall woman on the phone, and turned toward the elevators.

“Be careful what you wish for.”

Out of the corner of her eye, she watched a man in his late twenties move out of a gift shop. He looked across the lobby at the tall woman, and Viper resisted the urge to roll her eyes. He might as well pull out a bull horn and yell over to her.

Stopping in front of the elevators, she pressed the up arrow with her knuckle and waited. The highly-glossed finish on the marble walls acted like a mirror and she watched as the pair closed the distance, the woman still on the phone.

Viper stepped into the empty elevator car and the couple followed her. She pulled a badge out of her pocket and swiped it in the card reader on the panel, pressing the button for the penthouse. Then she moved to the rear of the car, allowing the man access to the keypad to select his floor. She leaned against the back wall, watching as he pressed the button for the top floor, right below the penthouse. The woman tucked her phone into her back pocket and glanced at the man.

“Sorry. It was work. They think the sky is falling,” she said.

“At least you got it out of the way. Now you can relax for the rest of the night.”

The doors slid closed and the car began its silent ascent. For a moment, there was absolute silence in the elevator. Then the woman moved.

Viper was ready. Before she had even partially turned towards her, Viper leveled a kick to the back of her knee, buckling her right leg. The woman tried to catch her balance with the other leg, but it was too late. Viper already had an arm hooked around her throat and was using her as a full body shield. Her
