“Mori acted quickly, so the only thing that saved our skin are the Interpol alerts that those two have that give us permission to proceed, so in the legal field we will proceed with them. However, Cook has a point, now the mafia is going to regroup and it will be difficult for us, it was a good entry for us and it was wasted.” "I don't want to work with him, we know what the problem is here," I said at once, and the man rubbed his eyes in response. “Illumination.” Mori liked it. "It's not true...” "Oh, come on, boss," she said mockingly, and she saw me annoyed, "it's not that I think I'm the most beautiful woman in the world, but as a lady-in-waiting, I know very well the problems that occur

“Yeah. Came in not long ago. Unit twelve. Follow me.” He turned and led me toward the back. I trailed behind him. My pulse thundered in my ears. He stopped at a drawer and tugged it open. “There you go.” The moment I saw the face… I stepped back. “What the hell is this?” I muttered, as my eyes widened. “That’s not Ricardo.” The man frowned. “Says here Ricardo Hunter.

Something falls over, and dust rushes toward us as Cassian pulls an old sheet free from a pile of burned and shredded canvases. A large, looming field of black painted on canvas swallows the room and takes my breath away. “It’s one of her nightmares,” I say, mostly to myself.
