While they were friends, he was also a businessman. He was loyal as fuck to his country, and this woman, but he was a free agent—more or less.

“Mikey O’ is the target. They want to remove him so they can have the port. The Russian mob and the Chinese mafia are teaming up to raise some hell. They need the port to get goods and drugs in. He’s in the way. She’s been put into play to take them apart. They want him personally, but I don’t know why. That is why you’ll have to do some digging on your end.”

Elizabeth wasn’t sure what Artemis’ plan was, but if this was going to get ugly, she needed The Hunters aware.
