SEEING THE PHOTOGRAPH of the Arrow leader alive and well was unexpected, but his survival didn’t have to equal the termination or suspension of their plans. The group had always known the Arrow wouldn’t be an easy target.
It was time to move to plan B: sacrifice the data, go for a public kill.
The Arrow Squad had to die. For some inexplicable reason, this midlevel telepath and field medic was its nucleus; cut him out and the resulting fractures would mean the rest would be far easier to eliminate.
No squad.
No one to hunt the serial killers.
No one to keep unscrupulous corporates in line.
Perfect.
