In the distance, she thought she heard her name, but she blithely ignored it. This was her chance!
She lifted her torn skirts and quickly unsheathed her dagger. Then, she lunged. Boxton shouted his pain as she sliced him across the thigh. He threw his head back, and she took the opening, holding her bloodied blade to the underside of his neck.
He lifted a fist, and Mary nudged the blade deeper against his soft skin.
“You had better re-think that move, Boxton,” she warned.
Boxton swallowed, then winced at the pain from her blade, his eyes narrowed and filled with vitriol. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” he replied.
“Oh, I believe I do.” Her heart thundered in her chest as she considered her options. The manmustknow by now that she was not a simple-minded actress. She had no choice but to bring him in to Hydra for questioning. “Now, you are going to come with me.”
Heavy footfalls came from behind her.
Bang!Bang!
