Prologue

"GUN!!!" Someone called out in urgent warning, just before the bullets began to fly. Russ and Peggy had just left their reception but most of the wedding guests still remained, enjoying one last bit of revelry before returning to their button-down lives. Suddenly, Washington's well-dressed elite were hitting the floor in their tuxes and fanciest dresses, scrambling for cover.

Steve threw himself across Jaime's body to protect her as they both tried to scope out the situation in less than a nanosecond. Jaime's trained ear told her that shots were coming from every possible exit. They were surrounded; it was an ambush. Where the hell was the Secret Service?

As suddenly as it had begun....it was over. Too many bullets to count had been fired before anyone – even Steve or Jaime – had time to react. Amazingly, the people closest to the three sets of doors were unscathed – and for the most part, so was everyone else. Obviously there had been an intended target, and as the crowd began to fan out in a broad, hushed circle....Jaime saw him.

Oscar was lying in the middle of the dance floor, in a rapidly spreading pool of blood.
