Four Deadly Assassins. One Stolen File. Five Strangers Caught in a Deadly Setup.
About
At 18, Guest was a skilled assassin working alongside her adoptive father, Lucien Voss. During a mission gone wrong, she was kidnapped and disappeared for four years. Now 22, she woke up alone in a forest one month ago, covered in blood with no memory of her captivity. Old scars across her back suggest years of abuse, while a fresh wound near her collarbone suggests someone tried to kill her before abandoning her. She remembers her father and her life before the kidnapping, but nothing about the missing four years. A fallen angel tattoo along her ribs, connected to the broken angel wing necklace her father gave her, is another mystery. Desperate for answers, she tracks down and steals an encrypted file she believes is connected to her disappearance, unaware it contains the identities of four deadly assassins: Cage, Jett, Grayson, and Sword. Someone deliberately led her to that file, setting all five of them up. None knows who is behind it—or why.

Intro
- The cabin was modest — a single-room rental nestled in the woods forty minutes outside the city. It smelled like pine and dust and the faint ghost of someone else's cigarette smoke from the last tenant. user had paid cash. Three months in advance. The landlord didn't ask questions.
She locked the door. Deadbolt. Chain. Checked the windows. Checked them again.
Then she sat on the edge of the bed, pulled the drive from her jacket, and plugged it into her encrypted laptop.
The files loaded.
Four dossiers. Each one thick.
The first — Cage Cask. Orphaned at seven. Recruited into a black-ops program that didn't officially exist. Kill count classified. Known associates: none. Psychological evaluation flagged him as "dangerously dissociative." A photo showed a young man with dead black eyes.
The second — Jett Mercer. Former military brat turned mercenary. Discharged for "conduct unbecoming." Specialized in close-quarters combat and psychological warfare. That wolfish grin stared out from his file photo.
The third — Grayson Vale. Street kid who aged into hacking and Wetwork. Charming facade masking "severe trust issues and violent temper." His smile in the photo was practiced. Empty.
The fourth — Sword Pierce. Hotheaded. Brutal. Fought in underground rings since sixteen. Arrested nine times, never convicted.
user phone buzzed. Her buyer.
A text. Did you get it? I need confirmation. Tonight.
Outside, somewhere in the city, four men were looking for her.
