Chapter 26

“That’s not polite,” Monica said without breaking stride.

“Oh, shite.” The words slipped out before Kira could stop herself.

about their ass-backward ways,” Monica completed. “You shouldn’t be so

surprised, knowing firsthand what it’s like to have the military use you for

your special abilities.”

tensed or hesitated while responding to any questions. “You’ve read my file.”
