The Woman who Fooled Him

The sound of a sharp click made its way to Davian's ears and his instincts immediately screamed, alerting him.

But before he could react, a smoke grenade exploded between him and the woman, filling the air with thick white fog.

"Shit."

He tightened his hold on her arm, but she was faster than he anticipated.

A sharp movement, a twist of her wrist... and she was gone, leaving him stunned.

He coughed against the smoke. His vision was blurred as he scanned the area, trying to look for her. His men were already moving, but she had disappeared into the haze like a ghost.

"Find her!" he barked, his patience snapping.

But by the time the smoke cleared, she had vanished completely.
