Shane Schofield was happy, well maybe not happy but he was damn well getting there.
For the first time since Libby had been taken from him he could function like a normal human being. He was sleeping better, his general health and physique had improved and best of all he could start the day without dread in his heart.
Schofield was no fool, he had no doubts as to why he could suddenly feel and act like a normal human being. Veronique 'Renard' Champion. A women he had met under fire. Strong, independent and not afraid to get the job done. She had achieved the impossible, she had convinced him to love again. The fact that the first time they had met she had tried to put a bullet in his head was to Schofield a minor detail a detail that his team never failed to mention.
Thinking of his team Schofield looked up and smile. Right now his whole team was running for their lives around the training fields at Quantico with Mother (his number two),barking orders and threats of what she would do if she caught up to them, bringing up the rear. Mother 6'4" high and weighing in at over 200lbs and with a nickname that is not appropriate for children was imposing if she was sitting quietly in a chair with a hallow above her head (not that it happened very often). Now running on full steam she was positively scary.
While Schofield was watching his team run, high above in the buildings behind him a man cloaked in shadows was watching him. He had waited 12 months for this a very short time considering, but why wait he could have that marine killed now... "no" he thought he needed him if the plan was going to succeed and the best part was right up until the marine died he would never know he was a pawn in a much larger game. A game that had being played for all anyone knew since the beginning of time. The man reached for his phone."Yes sir" a voice said on the other end
"it's time".
