âYou had one task,â I growl. âOne fucking task. And you couldnât manage to find a way to get it done.â
âI mean no disrespect, but how do you know sheâs still alive?â
âBecause my eyes inside the Breakers told me so,â I spit.
She pauses for a moment, looking down at the ground. It hadnât occurred to her that Iâve got other sources, other people who report to me. Sheâs finally realizing sheâs not as specialânor as valuableâas she thought herself to be. I can see it fully sinking into her.
âIâm sorry,â she says meekly. âI tried. I truly did. But thereââ
âIâm not interested in your excuses,â I cut her off. âYou were tasked with taking out Raven McCabe. You failed. That is all that matters.â
âIt is not as easy as youââ
âAgain. Iâm not interested in your excuses.â
She kneels on the floor before me, her head bowed, spinning the bracelet around her wrist. The bracelet is a smaller, modified version of the collar Jenni developed for our prisoners. After the collarâs successes in the arena, Jenni was able to essentially miniaturize it, implanting a set of commands into the bracelet.
But while the practical nature of the bracelet worked without a hitch, it is human failure that blew the mission. Viv couldnât get the job done because sheâs weak. She lacked the conviction and the will she needed to exert to complete her task.
âGive me another chance, Colonel,â she pleads. âI can finish this.â
âYeah? And how do you plan to do that?â I sneer. âYour cover is blown. How do you imagine being able to get close to her?â
âI-I donât know yet,â she says. âBut I can figure it out. I promise you.â
âYou had your chance. You failed.â
I turn to the two guards standing by the door and give them a nod. They step forward and I see the panic in the girlâs wide eyes. As she stands, I can see her start to shift, but the guards are faster and clamp a collar around her neck. She tries to shift anyway and the pop from the collar is loud. Sheâs thrown backwards, rolling into a cabinet on the far side of the room. She hangs limply in their arms as the guards haul her up, then they both look at me questioningly.
âFeed her to the wolves,â I say. âThey deserve a little fresh meat.â
âWait, I can tell you what sheâs planning next,â Viv interjects, raising her head. âIf you let me live, Iâll tell you what her plan is.â
âWhy donât you tell me, and then Iâll decide whether or not you deserve to live,â I respond.
Her body trembles with fear as she looks at me. But she licks her lips and does her best to stiffen her spine. She stands on her own again, looking at me with a confidence in her eyes I know she doesnât feel. Still, I give her kudos for trying.
âSheâs going to kill some senator,â she says. âCook. I think his name is Cook. She and
