Chapter 3

“Based on the news from my informant, there are forty-nine altogether.”

“Eight for each of us then. I’ll deal with the extra man.”

Natasha scoffed at Carson. “Or woman. Why do you men always assume that terrorists are all men?”

Carson grinned. “Fine. I’m sorry. I’ll handle the extra person. Happy now?”

Natasha rolled her eyes. “Fuck off far, far away from me.”

Carson chuckled under his breath as he crept stealthily toward one of the windows. “Can’t. I’m responsible for all of you. Your safety is my responsibility—”

Vanessa abruptly rushed toward him with a blade in her left hand. She slashed at something behind him a couple of times. He grimaced when he felt someone’s blood spurting onto his hair and clothes. He glanced up and saw Vanessa balancing the body of a dead man with her right hand. She was also smirking. “You were saying?”

“Show off,” Carson retorted, smiling at her. “Thanks for saving my ass.”

“You’re welcome, Beast.”
