Logan pushed herself up on shaky legs, her eyes fixed on the flint-eyed woman who stood in the centre of the room, a faraway look in her eyes. She slowly walked over to the bar. As much she wanted to hit the inside of the tumbler, the more she spilled whiskey on the surface of the bar. She finally gave up and brought the bottle to bottle to her lips, taking a long pull. She felt a hand on her shoulder and yelped.

“Easy, baby, it’s just me?”

Logan turned dark blue eyes on her lover. She could still see her standing there with a piercing gaze, radiating raw power and menace. How could Manu have kept this side of herself from her for so long?

“Who are you really?”

“What do you mean, Lo?” Manu spread her arms wide. “It’s me.”

Logan took another sip from the bottle, grimacing as the fiery liquid scalded her throat on its way down.

“From what I’ve witnessed tonight, I’d say you’re a spy or something. Am I right?”

“No, but you’re close.”

“Cut the crap, Emmanuelle. What happened here tonight?” She took another mouthful from the bottle. “Since this has been a night of revelations, why don’t we look under your hood for a change? Let’s start with the disappearance of the accent.”

The amber eyes flashed and for a moment. Logan was stunned by the dark predatory look in Manu’s eyes. Just as quickly it was gone and intense golden orbs studied her calmly.

“My name is Emmanuelle Mistral and I’m a hired gun for a clandestine government-affiliated agency.”

Logan stared at the woman she had been dating for two years. A woman she realized she barely knew. She lifted the bottle to her lips again, sighing as the liquid hit her stomach.

“From my understanding a hired gun is the same as an assassin.” She searched the Manu’s face, as she waited for her reply. “Are you an assassin?”

“Yes, Logan, I’m a contract killer.”

“Oh my…” The breath caught in Logan’s throat as, for the second time this night, she witnessed Manu’s transformation from the shy, soft–spoken woman, to a flint-eyed stranger.

The longer she stared at her once tender lover, Logan experienced a trickle of fear course through her. She suddenly wondered how many times Manu had crawled into bed next to her after having killed someone. She shivered at the thought. Had she kissed those hands, allowed them to glide over her body, bringing her pleasure? She could not take it anymore. She quickly turned away, leaving a stranger standing the living room.
