Thirty minutes later during the mission briefing, Roz was pacing back and forth as she clicked buttons on the remote, showing our target for the night. “This mission is classified, so all I can give you are the basics. Our target is Stellan Tusk, and the goal is to acquire an important decryption device in his possession and get out without being discovered.”

She turned back to her screen. “So here is the layout of the location where you’ll be attending a party hosted by Tusk. We’ve decided to send in a five-person team, and you should each have more details on your tablets.”

She slid me a glance and asked. “Everyone understand?”

We all nodded, and she approached me with her arms crossed. “Are you okay? Any lingering effects from the last mission?” Her hand reached out to graze the bruise on my cheek.

It hurt a little, but I remained stoic. “It’s not like it’s my first time to be hurt like this. It’s nothing, really. I am mission ready for tonight.”

“I know. That’s not what I mean. I just don’t want Prochenko in your head. I don’t think your mental health is compromised. I just want you to be careful and concentrate on the parameters of this mission.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

She laughed. “Okay, joke all you want, but I do care about you.”

“I know. And I’m grateful. But I’m good. Prochenko came back for me, so when we finish this job, it’s time for payback.”

“Revenge isn’t what we’re after here, Lyra. We want answers.”

“I know. Bring the man in alive. I got you.”

“Good.” Her smile was soft. “You look... I don’t know, keyed up. Everything okay with your dating life?”

I rolled my eyes. “I know what you’re fishing for. Nothing happened.”

Roz opened her mouth to say something else, but I put up my hands and cut her off. “I know, I know. Find love. I’m working on it. But maybe after we deal with Prochenko, okay?”

She sighed. “Okay, but it’s actually important. I’d rather you start screwing someone than have to make extra appointments with the psych counselor.”

I winced at that. I didn’t need to see a psych just because I wasn’t actively banging someone. “Like I said, I’m working on it. Now, can we deal with Tusk and then Prochenko first?”

“Yeah, let’s get these assholes. No one comes after my agents.”

“Excellent.”

Then I left her and went back to my office. I had a brief to review, and I had to get ready for tonight. I could ignore my feelings about Marcus. I knew how to do my job, and there was no way I was letting him stand in my way.

But a quick double check of my weapons pack and tablet told me I’d left my special hairpins that assembled into knives at home. Christ. I’d been so preoccupied I’d left them on my coffee table.

Marcus Black was bad for my health and my sanity.

Lucky for me, I had time before the mission rolled out to go home and get my pins.
