In the Field

Five years ago

Xandra’s heart was racing as bullets flew all around her. The task force had nailed down the location for Horace Armstrong and his top two men in the sex trafficking ring, but they hadn’t anticipated the amount of firepower they had stocked in the warehouse. As soon as they’d approached the nondescript building, shots were fired.

She took cover until she could time her next move. The two men on the roof would have to reload soon and then she would take them out. Three, two, one. She stood and shoot off four shots in two quick bursts, not stopping to watch both men plummet to their deaths. Up and running toward the dock, she spotted Armstrong moving closer to a speedboat at the end of the dock. It was the perfect location to hide women and get away quick and unnoticed. I got a visual on Armstrong. On the dock, getaway imminent. He wouldn’t get away, not this time. The man was responsible for selling nearly one million women and girls into sexual slavery. The rumor was he’d become an equal opportunity trafficker, and a container of young boys was en route to this location. Not on my watch.

Xandra made her way to him, quietly, because he was all alone. No armed goons were with him, making this the perfect opportunity to take him down. Armstrong stop. He kept going and she fired once, getting close enough to scare him without hitting him.

Let me go and I’ll make it worth your while.

She shook her head. Never gonna happen. Get on the ground.

Armstrong gave her that smarmy smile he always wore. I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.

Fucking British. Always so damn polite. Don’t make me tell you again. Guns aimed at one another, Xandra felt a niggling sensation in the pit of her stomach that something wasn’t right. Down now!

Xandra!

That moment of distraction gave Armstrong the escape he needed. She heard the pounding of his feet as she turned behind her.

Just in time to see the man she’d been sleeping with for the past three months, aim his gun at her and shoot. Twice. Moments later, her world went black.

So, We Meet Again

W atkins, Supervisory Special Agent Jack Morris bellowed. You’ve got the new guy. He’s in conference room B.

Xandra Watkins’ head popped up from behind her computer screen just in time to see the shock of red hair and large cat-like body lumber by her office. Wait, what? What new guy and why am I just finding out about this?

Morris stopped and turned with a smile. I got word from the Director after hours. He specifically requested you.

The Director did? That didn’t make any sense. Not that Xandra wasn’t a good agent because she was. She’d worked hard for the FBI in her decade with them. But she’d left the field five years ago to head up the Internet Crimes Division, and she figured that put her off the Director’s radar. "Do you have any info on the
