It was agreed that Mina would come in contact with the agent, then be taken on the inside. Skinner was to enter though the hidden door. Marina and Allan were to keep out of sight and keep watch, while Nemo was to keep his ears open with the small listening device planted on Mina. Tom, Jessie and Henry waited.
Marina sat cross legged in the shadows, her spear across her knees. Hidden a few feet away was Allan, his rifle propped up next to him.
"Mina's in," she whispered.
"Good," Silence ensued once more. Marina itched to wreak havoc on whoever had shot her and left her for dead. A deadly mistake on his part in her book.
The woman watched as one of her people brought in another new recruit. She was dressed in black leather. Her top barely covered her breasts. Her skirt reached her ankles but was split to the hips. A gold belt kept the skirt in place. On her feet were heeled boots that reached her calves. The woman immediately sensed this new recruit was different from the others. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. She turned to the man crouched down next to her like an obedient dog and placed a hand on his bowed head.
"I am still disappointed that you killed the spy instead of bringing her to me,"
"Is there anything I may do to redeem my mistress' favor?" The woman smiled.
"There is, my slave," she smiled and pointed at the new woman. "Find her intentions. Perhaps you will redeem yourself then," The man kissed the hem of her skirt.
"I hear and obey, my mistress," he slipped out. She smiled again. Oh how she loved causing chaos. The man had been in her service for thirty years after his village was attacked and wiped out by another of her slaves. He served her because he had no choice.
