Outside, the world was nothing but shades of black, making it a perfect canvas for the flashbacks that haunted her. Rationally, she knew the black shapes in her peripheral vision weren’t real, but reason didn’t stop them. Nor did reason dull the threat they brought. In her tormented state, they formed from every ripple in the prairie grass, every distant road sign, and sometimes from nowhere at all.  Hazy silhouettes dotted the dark expanse. Dressed like her. Armed like her. Forerunners of what was to come if she didn’t quell the memories of the night she stood against the Alley rather than with them.  Tension itching beneath

They served as a constant reminder to stay in her employers’ good graces. Despite her being a weapon, the Alley treated her well. Still, the freedom she managed was purchased with obedience. Dawson hadn’t needed to tell her that.  Estellia veered off the sidewalk and into an open field, anger filling her chest in a hot swell. Years ago, she’d sworn that William would be the last to sacrifice anything for her, yet she couldn’t seem to stop it from happening.  A low rumble escaped her as she acknowledged the lie she kept spinning: she could stop Conklin but wasn’t. Humans were disturbingly fragile compared

The G-Wagons pulled alongside the van, and a young man exited from the first. “What can I do for you, Sergeant?” Estellia asked, leaning against the van’s bumper. “Good evening, Lieutenant. Colonel Dawson requests your immediate presence.” As the sergeant came around the open back doors, her eyes drifted inside. The shock that followed was comical. Estellia might have laughed, but, expression feigning genuine concern, she met her stunned gaze when it snapped back to her. “This goes no further than you,” she insisted with strict authority. “The Major’s reputation could be ruined if people learned the sorts of things

Should they exit their staging area early, engage them as soon as they’re clear, regardless of whether we have Silverman’s answer. Raines, ensure all personnel rendezvous at the designated strongpoint by 2230.” Raines nodded before vanishing into the trees, the shadows claiming him much earlier than they did Smith. It was a curious trait, but not the only mystery surrounding him. While Raines’ twisted humour paired well with her own, something about him hinted at hidden motives. He was a man who spoke his intentions with little concern over consequence. Yet, there was a subtle cunning to him as well. Estellia suspected her true employers had sent him to spy on her. But attempts to confirm that had been

For months, Estellia had taken Silverman’s abuse with professional detachment. She’d stood at attention while his condemnations spat across her face, outwardly accepting judgements and threats that went far beyond anything permissible. Now he was listening to the full force of what he’d unleashed: a recording meticulously designed to turn his enmity and pride against him. “How did you get this number?” Silverman’s face flushed with rage as he listened. “Bitch!” Abandoning caution, he stormed toward his vehicle. The moment he turned, Estellia launched. With only a few feet between her and the hedgerow, she cleared it easily, remaining silent even as she landed. This time when Silverman froze it was too late. Seizing his shoulders, Estellia wrenched

Whatever uncanny intuition he possessed, it sparked an irrational ferocity in her presence. She’d witnessed this same response in only one other person—a general she went to great lengths to avoid. It was as though the men sensed the predator within her and were consumed by the need to put an end to it. It had taken eleven years for the general to turn on her, but that familiar hatred had burned in Silverman’s eyes from the moment they met. They’d barely made first eye contact when murderous intent began to radiate from him. Like with the general, Silverman’s treatment of her rapidly decayed into macabre obsession. Tonight was the culmination of that inexplicable rage. By forcing Estellia into these ridiculous games, he’d hoped to engineer
