Attracting them would not be difficult; I had what they were looking for without knowing. Actually, I just had to give them a little more time and they would come in my search, completely desperate.
I smiled while my companions talked laughing, trying to ease the tension between us, at that moment they seemed stupid, gullible; it was impressive how a giggle, a friendly tone and lowering my eyes occasionally had allowed me to operate in anonymity.
I admit that during the first few months I had acted with extreme caution, despite quickly taking a leadership position, I had chosen to let others take the decisions, while slowly consolidating my alliances within the group.
I left the room. The cold air already hurt in the lungs when breathing it and that we were still halfway to Nunavut, the town where the Legion had settled one of its safe houses by Lenna's orders; After the tense reunion with the rest of the team, I excused myself to leave the room, smoke a cigarette and have a coffee to withstand the first round of night surveillance.
Again I smiled while rocking my head from one side to the other, "guards", as if that would make a difference, the time to make a strategy was far behind, now it was game time and none had sufficiently developed their skills as to even try to stop what was coming; I had trained them, measured their strength, their intelligence, their ability to withstand various types of attacks, I knew that with little effort I could execute them all.
I entered the cafeteria. It was a strange sensation when my lips pronounced my name after so long, again… an acid laugh settled in my mouth, while I thought about the stupid nicknames to protect our identity, what a sham, we had no identity, if only they had understood it since the beginning…
Her energy filled the room as soon as her heels echoed in the room. All eyes turned to the exotic beauty of coppery skin and olive-green eyes, her red hair glowing like the infernal fire she was capable of unleashing at any moment. They handed She her coffee and passed by me, swinging her hips provocatively. Her energy disappeared almost instantly, I turned slightly to the bar, the keys of the group room had disappeared, Sierra would be waiting for us in Nunavut, while making the necessary preparations.
A grimace erased the faint smile on my face when I felt the weak second presence, I thought I would have a little more time alone with my companions, but she had reached us. As always, her stubbornness, her complete inattention to her person and her infinite need to pretend that she was doing the right thing, had forced her to almost crawl to the hotel.
I got up immediately and held her in my arms just before she dropped to her knees on the floor, with a sigh of relief she turned her head towards me and her pale green eyes sought immediate contact with me. I felt pity and a strong desire to slap her; it was hard for me to understand how the most ferine emissary of death had become that miserable and fearful creature.
-You're safe- I said pulling her to me and she let herself be enveloped by my embrace, I knew that I would never have allowed it in other circumstances, but this time I had her where I wanted her to be –I promise you… Everything will be fine, Lenna-
