MOMENTS BURN
- Ivan rescues Victoria from a perilous situation -
It had all gone wrong. One mislaid trust, one disadvantage. Victoria shakes her head, unable to comprehend how she managed to end up in this ridiculous situation. Her wrists burn from the cuffs; her cheek from the constant backhands of her tormentor.
"My patience is growing thin," he says.
American.
She smiles. "Mine isn't."
"Tell me, or I'll kill you."
"That's not going to help."
Were all these agents so stupid? The hand pressing on her throat is beginning to hurt. "I'll never tell you."
"Then you die."
There's a bullet in her thigh before she realises; the pain doesn't recede. He's about to put another in her chest when he falls to the ground. Dead. A figure approaches and hastily frees her from the restraints. He whispers. "Did you miss me, Bunny?"
That dreaded nickname. "Ivan, what are you doing here?"
He shrugs, and grins. "Rescuing most beautiful woman in world?"
He drapes his coat around her, quickly putting pressure on the wound, and carries her out into broad daylight. Victoria relaxes against him, but she scowls nonetheless. "You're going to get us killed one of these days," she says.
"Maybe" Ivan replies, kissing her gently on the forehead.
