So here we go again. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Prologue: Unforgivable

It was unforgivable. They had taken her, made her and when the chips were down they had abandoned her, left her for dead. She hadn't been a right fit, they had said, not what they were looking for but they had been wrong. She could have been the best, she was the best. Getting them to see that, now that was a true test. She had heard chatter about a few of the agents that had broken away and disappeared. They had been good agents too but had grown week. If she could eliminate them or better yet bring them in then they would have to acknowledge that she was the best. She had found her leverage almost by accident, a happy accident in fact and she decided to use it for all its worth. Now he would come, she had her and he would come, she thought as she looked over at the figure she had tied up and gagged in the corner of the basement. She had found this out of the way house and the basement made a perfect hiding spot for her work. Her guest in the corner seemed to cower back in fear when she saw her looking at her, which was good because that meant she was afraid and would try anything. She needed her to be a good hostage until she got what she needed. It wouldn't be easy. This particular agent she was trying to snare was good. She had come up against him before and it had ended badly for her. It made her, however, more determined to get the job done and to prove herself.

When she had first applied for the program she was young and what they really needed at the time but as it went on the discovered things about her that didn't make her a good candidate. She was unstable they said, which made her a liability. On her first mission she had been taken but hostels and for four months she had been tortured relentlessly. They had broken her and no one had come for her so she had to do it on her own. This made her stronger and better but they still wouldn't take her back. They had said she was too broken and was made a liability. She had never forgiven them for that so she made her own way and now she was going to prove them wrong. First she had to get what she came for.

"It won't be long now. He is coming for you." She said to her guest in a voice slightly above a whisper. She took a step to her with a cup of water in her hand, a peace offering so to speak. "Here, we need to keep you hydrated. I can't have you dying on me now." She said as she bent down removing her gag. The girl looked at her, eyes wide with fear and she seemed almost childlike, an innocence that she had long forgotten. Tears streaked her face and she could barely swallow past the lump in her throat. She had been screaming some hours before and with no one around she wasn't heard. She had gagged her for not out of fear of her being heard but for her own peace of mind.

The girl took small sips of water still eyeing her afraid she would strike.

"Have no fear as long as you are a good girl and do as you are told, you will be reunited with your loved one soon enough.

"Why are you doing this?" The girl asked in a raw voice which made her want to scream. She tightened her grip on the cup in her hand and closed her eyes as she waited for the rage to pass. When it had she took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"Well you see it's like this, I need them to see me and if I bring in one of their wayward agents, they will see me and I get what I want. But you gave me a whole different opportunity. Your beloved is not only an agent but also the brother of another one. So maybe I can get both." She could feel herself getting excited over her train of thought.

"What do you want?" The girl asked again getting braver with each question, but she didn't really care. She loved moments like these as she spilled out the rest of her thoughts.

"What I want is really no concern of yours, but what you can give me is so much more." She paused before she continued. "You see, your lover's brother has a girl himself and she my dear child is your sister." She stood up with a look of triumph and truly enjoyed the look of confusion on her face, which quickly turned to fear.

"My sisters dead." She simply stated.

"That's what they want you to think." Before she could say anything more she replaced the gag as the girl shook her head from side to side trying to fight what she had just told her. This girl, this child had been passed from capture to capture all to lure out this one agent. Now she had her and she would be the one to bring them both in. She turned and walked up the stairs of the basement and took one last look at her house guest. It wouldn't be long now. She could feel the excitement of the hunt and she turned off the light plunging the basement into complete darkness and closed the door, locking it behind her. What they had done was unforgivable and what she was about to do was equally unforgivable.
