As Star pounded on the lower-level member, she quickly caught the eye of the unknown female as she took a stroll to see the prospects. She noticed that the FBI agent was all about business and will rapidly make rank in the organization. She needed someone that was on Jelick's level or better, and right now... Star was highly noted in her eyes.

"Leo... which one is this again?" She asked her 'right hand'.

"She's one of the recommendations from the American mole in the FBI. She was scouted by Slade along with the Markov wench." He said with his head bowed out of respect.

"Fascinating. She would serve as a great asset... yes?"

"Absolutely." Leo agreed.

"Yes... she would. I must meet her." She slowly sashayed up to Star while Leo rapidly ran up on the brawling duo. Without a moment's notice, he snapped the neck of lower-level member, then connected his elbow to Star's chin, knocking her out in an instant.

As Leo held on to an unconscious Star, the unknown female ran a single finger down the side of her face with an unnerving smile.

"Yes! She is perfect!"

(Meanwhile)

I walked back into the hotel room and not to my surprise... Ivy and Rose wasn't here. I suppose they were checking up on me hmp-hmp. Probably nervous that I'd back away from the arrangement, but... here I am! However my goals are different. Scathe should've left well enough alone, but no! They had to go kidnap one of my best friends and her daughter!

I am beyond angry, but I will keep up the rouge, having them believe that I'm still with them, although Scathe already knew that wasn't the case...

It never was!

I was always the loose cannon ready to fire, at least that's what Slade always said. But in his defense, he's right! I am going to put an end to all these wicked people! With my bare hands... without a second thought. They wanted a monster... well... they got one! They created this Beast, now they will meet their end with my venom.

All I know is that they will have nanoseconds to get out of my way, because I was in it for the kill! No one left behind. No loose ends, and that includes... my dear sour cuz!

(23 minutes later)

Rose and Ivy came in. They both started to pack their suitcases in a rush. I couldn't fathom why they didn't do this already. I chuckled to myself although Ivy heard me.

"What's so funny Beast?" She asked chuckling herself. I've always known that she was a kiss ass lackey. I just played along with her banter knowing that she will be the first one to meet the Beast!

"Oh nothing... just... if you all knew that our time here was limited, why did you go shopping? Very sloppy, don't you agree?"

"Cuz, you okay? I mean, are you feeling like you... or you?" Rose asked me with caution, not knowing which animal she was talking to.

"I'm fine, but our plane leaves in 2 hours. All I'm saying is, instead of following me all day, you should've been prepared... nothing more hmp." Rose and Ivy looked dumbfounded at the fact that I knew they were playing I spy. Rose tried to change the subject.

"You seem to be in a good mood. What's got you all chipper cuz?" She said to me, and I think the expression on my face gotten darker, because Rose and Ivy both looked... alarmed.

"I'm just... happy! I'm sure you know that I went to see my son, and my FBI baby daddy! Isn't that right Ivy?" I was fishing. I needed to know what this snake found out about me and my personal life.

"I don't know what..."

"Awe... that's cute... hmp-hmp." I grabbed my carry-on heading for the door. Both Rose and Ivy grabbed their luggage and followed me in toe. I think I kind of like this new old me. I felt like I had my own foot soldiers scurrying to meet my lead.

'It's fun being labeled... unpredictable, hmp.'

Rose give me the Belvedere's Bears. She knew I hated flying... hmp. The all-mighty Ravager gave me the three quarters full bottle of Terra's miserable refuge and I took a huge gulp of the intoxicating liquid, shuttering as it went down.

"Ahh... shh!" I hissed wiping the corners of my mouth.

"So... let's go Scathe!" I swiftly turned and walked with my head held high. Shit why not!! These bitches are going to die! Why not hold confidence knowing that I am going to be the one to make that statement true. I'm going back into the lion's den with the heart and mind of a Siberian tiger!

They have my Star! They have my Mar'i! What do you think they've just done to themselves?

They made me pay attention!

They made me focus on them... and only them. Screw the missions! Those blood sucking nation killing insects had it coming to them. They made the mistake of training the one and only person capable of taking them off the face of the earth, and that person is me!

"Well cuz let's go, but... we still have an agreement right? Will you still help me?" Rose pulled me aside as we waited to bord the cab.

"Oh yes, please believe me, I will defiantly follow through with what we talked about. But I have bigger fish to fry. I seriously hope you're not one on them... cuz!" I shot her a grim look, and she gave me confusion. Rose had no idea what was happening, but as I adverted my gaze to Ivy, that expression on her face, I could see that she was hiding something.

However, I will let sleeping dogs lay, but when the time is right... I will lay that sleeping dog to rest!

Leave no one! And that's just what I plan on doing.

**********

Next I will do a bit of a time jump. Not too drastic, but all the same. I'm anxious to start on my next book, Hybrid. The characters will be different, but I'm keeping the name Rachael LOL. I will also add more pretty people that I found on Google Images as the characters LOL. **All rights belong to the models and photographers**

BTW.

Xoxoxo u!
