“And Jen. What about Jennifer?”
“I took Sienna, and we tracked Jennifer to the main mall. Another killer was about to kill Sienna but Jennifer killed her. I took both of them to a safe-house and turned them over to Sky.”
“Visara, I am forever in your debt,” Seige exclaimed.
“You don’t owe me anything. I told you we are soul mates. And this may not be the right time, but I do have something to ask. I know you are about to launch a major offensive against the whole Blue Heaven group? And this time I want to fight. I must be in on the action.”
“No,” Seige retorted, standing up and walking away from the steps. “I can’t risk anything happening to the team doctor, and, as my best friend, I can’t afford to lose you.”
“No! No! Let me tell you something, Seige Key. I knew your first wife almost as long as you did and she was just as much my friend as she was yours. I feel the pain you’re going through knowing you’ll never see a smile on the faces of your boys again because they were like mine too. I was the one who taught your daughter how to defend herself with martial arts shortly after she learned to walk. Even our team members and their families who got killed hit me just as hard because I’m one of them, but you’ve got to concentrate on the living.”
“What are you talking about Visara?”
“I’m talking about your wife and daughter who are probably hurting and scared to death right now, who will need your strength when you see them again. I’m talking about wiping Dan’s shadow from the face of the earth the very next time we lay eyes on the son-of-a-bitch. I’m talking about going back in there and getting the team ready to separate Corin’s thoughts from his actions for- ever for polluting the population with his poison.
“But really I’m just expressing my respect and love for one of the greatest leaders I know who should take time to grieve, col- lect himself, and get his ass back in the damn game, ‘cause, partner, this is sudden death overtime and the clock is ticking.”
