The rooftops were covered.
Shadow Corps soldiers stood across the surrounding buildings, their dark uniforms blending so perfectly into the night that Vezrath hadn't noticed when they arrived.
Others had already positioned themselves inside the alleys and ruined storefronts below, silently closing every path leading away from the street. He turned once, then again, and each direction revealed another figure watching him from the darkness.
He had been surrounded without even realizing it.
Vezrath's teeth clenched.
Shadow Raven...
Of all the Agency commanders who could have appeared, she was among the worst possible opponents for him to encounter alone.
