Well, the fight ended in a messy standoff, but somehow Liam had managed to keep Zalor pinned down in his grip.
He had one hand clamped tight around the man's throat, squeezing just enough to make him struggle for air without killing him outright.
The girls were still on the ground where the handler had tossed them, coughing and gasping for air.
Liam's mind raced. He needed a way out of this, fast.
Something to turn the tables before the handler decided to snap the girls' necks for good.
Then a memory clicked into place from his past life. This woman... She looked familiar.
Not just any assassin. She was the best one who worked for Simon. Her code name was the handler.
She took all kinds of jobs, from killing Simon enemies to collecting debts. It can be said that she was the best assassin.
He studied her face again, and the rest came flooding back.
She had stuck with Simon mainly because he had the connections to help her track down her missing brother.
