Guests from Seattle (4)

Sarah mused about Mia's words before speaking, "We are capable of taking someone out or delivering a warning. Why do I need you for?"

"They know who you are, and they are probably watching your people. Attack from my side will catch them off guard."

Sarah was not sure how to react to this. Mia was smug and confident, and she also made sense.

Sure, Mia didn't know about Eve, the drones, and Sarah's numerous allies, but Sarah was intrigued by this young woman who extruded confidence (even with an upset stomach), and Sarah wanted to find out more.

"What's in it for you?", Sarah asked Mia.

Mia spread her hands. "A meeting with Nyx and Erebus is all I ask. I hope that you will keep an open mind and give us a chance to prove that we changed as an organization. We can do this job for you as a sign of good faith."

Sarah rejected. "I don't owe people. By the time you come asking me to repay the favor, the interest will be too much to handle."
