Strategizing is Only Half the Battle

Going on solo missions was my norm, but I couldn’t watch every angle without missing something no matter how small the detail. I wasn’t a stranger to feeling alone, and most of my life, I’d felt like I was chasing the kind of happy I used to see when I watched other families interact.

When I reminisced about all of the times I’d been by myself with no one to comfort me but my thoughts, it never failed that eventually, Saint’s face would come into my mind as a reminder that I had at least one person who cared about me. Who loved me. When we broke up, I lost that, and even though I missed him terribly, I hadn’t known just how much I loved having him in my life until we were infiltrating Ronan’s hideout.

Jedidiah and his men were leading the charge, motioning for us to surround the warehouse. The rest of us and the Crownes most loyal fighters were close behind. I always hated industrial districts because contrary to how movies made it seem, the buildings didn’t offer enough outdoor coverage.

I was right by Saint’s side, until I got the signal that the roof was clear so I was able to scale the wall and climb into one of the windows that one of our spies on Ronan’s crew had already prepped for entry. Since I was the smallest, it was up to me to get past whatever men he had guarding that window and let the rest of the guys in.

Using my tools and the skills I’d learned in rock-climbing, I made it up the wall to the window no problem, my adrenaline pumping at the fact that my knives were going to be put to great use tonight.

I’d just made it through the window when I saw the first guy at my nine o’clock, his back turned to me as he made his rounds. We’d promised Duchess that we wouldn’t kill Ronan, but men were going to die today. Maybe some of ours. Definitely some of theirs. That was just formalities in a rescue mission. It was either me or them, and I’d been fighting to survive since I was a young girl.

I took pity on the first guy by slicing clean through his throat before he even knew I was behind him. Catching his body, I eased it onto the floor, grateful he wasn’t as heavy as I thought even though I could lift two hundred and fifty pounds in the gym without breaking a sweat.

I didn’t find the other guy right away, but I knew there were at least two of them. When it came to guarding the windows, rule of thumb was to assume there were always two guys on window watch.

I ducked behind a large pillar when I finally spotted the second guy, a lot bigger and a lot more alert than the one I’d just killed. I could get in and out of a highly-secured bank and not be detected.
