Chapter 17

Thomas looks at me, a blank expression on his face before turning his gaze to Luciano.

He looks back at me, raising an eyebrow.

"I see you brought backup."

Luciano takes a seat beside me, sending a cool look to him.

"You and I both know she doesn't need backup."

Thomas doesn't seem to know what to say and turns back, looking at me.

"Alessa, I truly am sorr-"

I hold up my hand, cutting him off.

"Fuck your apologies. I want to know how the fuck you missed something like that."

"Watch your tone, Alessandra.'

"Don't test me Thomas. Not today."

He glares at me but I don't lower my icy gaze.

"We had no idea it was a CIA black site. It's one of their newer sites and tech support never picked up on it."

I stare at him for a few seconds before lifting my lips in a half smile.

"Why didn't Victor carry out a sniper hit?"

"Excuse me?"
