Prologue

Kazimir

Pavel pointed forward “I’ve got a jeep for us over here”

I was on the phone with Misha “Get the Devil’s location right…fucking…now!”

Misha’s voice remained calm on the other side of the line “Pavel explained My people are on it now—”

“Your people?” Ipeople are on it? You need to be on it!”

“They contacted Maxwell Emily talked to him”

I stopped in front of the jeep “When were you going to tell me this?”

“I called your phone”

If Misha stood in front of me, I would’ve slapped hi phone call—”

“I thought, I had it under control”

“Eone!”

Silence hit the line

“Instead of you handling the situation yourself or callingpsychos to track the nukes?” My chest rose and fell

“KazimirI’m sorry,” Misha said “You know II would never want so like this to happen to youI understandmy mother”

My eyes burned I blinked and put htened I couldn’t think I didn’t want to think, but I had to move fast Jean-Pierre was an idiot Had a short fuse Soht it was me And noould have to deal with the situation, whilesure Emily stayed alive

Misha spoke again, “Kazi I’m on it”

“You will” I gripped the phone hard “Because if so happens to Eain”

I hung up the phone and got in the jeep

Emily’s little female followed me Nervousness covered her face She was one of Emily’s new recruits from Kapotnya For the first time today, I took a minute to study her
