More guards were filtering down the halls to deal with the intruders in other wings of the compound, but they passed Elissa on their way down the hall and she knew that if Blaine hadn't ducked into one of those rooms, he'd either be spotted or he'd brush right by them. He could take care of himself, she told herself. He'd be fine.

They barely reached Blaine - and might not have even seen him yet - when Elissa slit the one man's throat cleanly, sending him to the floor. His comrade heard the noise and shouted, drawing his gun, but she had already embedded both blades in his chest and out his back. The third, well, he was the problem: the gun came out and she snapped her leg into his face, sending him sprawling for the moment.]
