“The Irish Butcher has something up his sleeve,” I said.
“Why am I not surprised? Do you know what it is?”
“No, but he has a target on you.”
Suri twirled her sword next to us.
“Are you talking about the part where I’m supposed to slice yourpapi’sthroat after we’re done with the fighters?”
“I’m sorry, what????” At my shocked look, she continued.
“Why are you so surprised? Look at the weapons they gave us. I’m carrying aHonjo Masamunesword that can cut through pretty much everything while you got two sticks, and he got a slab of metal.”
“When did Hayes ask this?”
“On the night I broke into their server.” The look she gave me told me she knew about what went down a week ago.
“And you didn’t think it important to mention this?”
“What do I look like to you? An amateur? I wasn’t sure where your loyalty lied. For all I knew, you forgot who I was.”
“If you go anywhere near him, Suri, I will cut your head with your own Katana sword.”
“Settle down, Princess Buttercup. Let’s first survive the next two rounds. We can talk about you cutting my head after.”
“Fine. When are you supposed to do it?”
“After the tournament. It was the reason they put us on the same team. He wanted to see your husband’s face when I betrayed him.”
“Which you won’t do under any circumstances,” I stressed, to make sure she understood I was serious.
“That again?” The crazy woman yawned. If she wasn’t such a bitch, the two of us would be friends. But I have one crazy ass bestie, I don’t need two.
“You sure know interesting people,” Eric said dryly.
“You know how it is, the enemy of my enemy, yada, yada. Bones was my friend. Suri and I tolerate each other.”
The Latina shrugged nonchalantly before acknowledging, “Frenemies at most.”
“Huh, huh. Right.” Eric turned to me and pressed his forehead against mine.
“Remember what we practiced. You have one shot. Put them out of commission,” Eric hurriedly whispered, and I nodded.
Because of what I do and who I am, my skills are geared toward quick one-on-one fights, not matches with multiple opponents.
Intelligence Officers are meant to blend in. Not leave corpses everywhere they go. So, my husband has been training me for the past five days to increase my reflexes, with Suri and Diego helping.
Hopefully, it will be enough.
To make sure the fight began on equal footing, the organizers gave each team a sword, a shield, and a defensive weapon.
Eric will be seen as our biggest weakness despite his strength because he didn’t have a weapon. Those with a sword will go after him to take him out first, and my role was to make sure he wasn’t left unprotected by disarming them.
Suri was responsible for our offense and had to take out as many fighters as she could get her hands on.
The gong went off, and I immediately blocked the knife that came at me with one baton.
I violently hit my opponent across the eyes with the second stick, blinding him.
