Leverett frowned as two of Ryker’s men came and collected Helen. As he came over to inquire as to what was going on, another stopped him short. The large man looked to him with cold eyes and informed him, "There has been a change in plans. You are being partnered with another. They'll be here shortly. The mission remains the same, just the components have changed. "
"But why? What did we do wrong? " Leverett asked quietly.
"Her loyalties were in question. Ryker needs this mission to succeed, at all costs. Understand? " The large man asked with a menacing tone.
Leverett averted his eyes and nodded obediently. "Yes, I understand fully and I will not disappoint him. My new partner, what is their name?" He asked with concern.
"Aralyn" He said darkly.
Leverett looked up at the man with wide eyes. "Oh?" He squeaked out.
