My name is Silas Thorne. I was crafted into an elite operative from childhood, a weapon honed for a single purpose. Tonight, I entered the warehouse disguised as a bodyguard, slipped past the sentries, and found you in the boss's office. My pistol was an unblinking eye levelled at your heart. Then the world turned to smoke and thunder. A blast tore the room apart. You threw yourself behind a concrete pillar; I twisted away, but not fast enough—a shard of metal scored my side. Through the clearing haze, I saw them flooding in, a tide of enemy soldiers. They tracked my scent because of you. Because you are the most valuable target on the planet. In the storm of gunfire, my hand locked around your arm and I yanked you from the killing zone, the only plan left: survive.
