BLURB:
Then he met her.
Mariska. Beautiful. Innocent. Ignorant of her father’s atrocities. And marked
for death.
His orders said nothing
about saving her. But he did. He went off-mission.
Can a rogue cyborg
outrun both Cyber Operations and the terrorists to save the woman he loves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
Some might have cheered Mariska’s impending demise. The
organization’s brutality had incited a backlash of negative sentiment against
all its members. Many espoused the notion that the only good Lamis-Odg was a dead
Lamis-Odg.
Kai couldn’t buy into that. Mariska had been no party to the
actions of her father or Lamani. She was vulnerable. Innocent. But not stupid
or cowardly. In the month spent observing her, her quiet fortitude and inner
strength had impressed him. Even before he’d caught the shocking glimpse of her
face, he’d been struck by her beautiful eyes. A rich shade of melted caramel,
fringed by dark lashes. Expressive in their attempt not to be. She didn’t trust
him.
Her wariness pierced him in a way it shouldn’t. She was a
person of interest and her emotions shouldn’t impact his decision-making. And
in fact, she was wise to be suspicious. Obido had bugged her quarters and
employed spybots to keep tabs on her. While Kai wouldn’t intentionally harm
her, he would manipulate her to obtain whatever information he could on
Lamis-Odg.
The reign of terror had to be stopped. Direct intervention in Mariska fate
jeopardized that goal. Doing nothing was the right thing to do. Sacrifices had
to be made for the greater good.
Why did he feel like he was no better than Obido?
When they rounded the corner to the gangway entrance two
guards—Lamis-Odg, not androids—snapped to attention, weapons drawn. “Halt!” one
of them cried.
“It’s okay; he’s with me,” Mariska said.
While one guard leveled his weapon, the other scanned him.
“The android is not authorized to board,” the guard said.
“He’s not boarding; he’s loading my luggage. He’ll disembark
after he carries it to my stateroom.”
“Negative. He shall remain here.” The guard motioned. “Leave
the cases.”
Kai set the bags down, and the sentry scanned them. “Clear,”
he announced. He jerked his head at Mariska. “You may take them now.”
She dragged one toward the craft.
“My duty is to serve the daughter of Obido. Allow me to set
the bags inside the door. I shall not enter,” Kai said.
The two guards glanced at each other and shrugged. “All
right.”
Under armed watch, he deposited both bags inside the
portal. There was nothing else he could
do. He sought Mariska’s gaze. Don’t go.
“Have a safe flight.”
“Thank you.”
She boarded. Kai stomped down the gangway.
