This story is the continuation of Behind closed doors so if you haven't read that one I suggest to start there. This novel is more storydriven than BCD and also involves more focus on the other characters in the Overwatch family.
The story picks up...
Genji was standing on a rooftop with his swords in his hands, carefully scanning through the streets of Hanamura.
His rage was almost rolling out of him. He couldn't believe that Gabriel had gotten to Jesse before him. Even though he deep down knew that Gabriel was, most likely, far away from Hanamura by now, he still focused his vision to the utmost extreme to try and find him in the crowds.
He didn't know where else to begin his hunt, all he knew was that if he were to find him... it would spell the end of Gabriel Reyes.
He slightly turned his head to the side.
"I know that you have been following me," he hissed. "Reveal yourself or I shall drag you out of the shadows by force!"
A female voice started snickering.
"Looking for me?" she sneered. "Sparrow..."
Out of nowhere, a woman dressed in all shades of purple clothing, hair and makeup, flickered into vision. Her hair was long on one side and shaved on the other. She appeared to be about the same age as Genji but did not look Japanese. By her accent Genji established that she was most likely of Latin decent.
He lowered his swords but still held them firmly in his hands.
"Who are you... and what do you want from me?" he grunted.
"Who I am is not important...," the woman said seemingly without a care in the world, resting her elbow on her arm while slowly opening and closing her fist, making her sharp and purple stiletto nails glow in the darkness.
"Very well...," Genji coldly said. "So what is it you want? You most obviously know who I am."
The woman snickered again and with a swift movement of her hand a hexagon-shaped window appeared in front of her.

"Oh, I know many things about you," she secretively said. "What if I told you that I know where you can find Gabriel Reyes?"
Genji took a step towards her and raised his swords.
"Then I would suggest that you start talking," he hissed.
"Easy there, ninja boy...," the woman said. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
She made the window disappear and started walking towards him, showing no signs of fear. She slowly walked in circles around him while inspecting him.
"Impressive tech...," she established and ran a finger from his shoulder down his arm.
"Take your hands off me!" Genji roared and pulled his shoulder back.
His grip around the swords tightened and he gritted his teeth in an attempt to not swing at her. With the sheer anger pulsating inside him, he normally wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her, but he needed to know if she knew how to find Gabriel.
