I stood at the gate of the Sergej family mansion, the place I once called home. It had been years since I had last set foot on this property, since I had last seen my siblings, Nikolai and Kisa.
'Oh, I met Nikolai a while ago. I wonder how big and pretty Kisa would have grown.'
It had been years since I had betrayed my own adopted family, the Russian mafia family who had accepted me as their own.
As an American soldier, I had been part of the best squad there was.
The X Force... It was just Lilith and I.
But when I received an assignment to take down a target, I couldn't bring myself to do it. The target turned out to be a member of my own family, and I couldn't betray my own kin. So I went missing, disappeared off the grid, leaving the US government and my family to wonder where I had gone.
