The United States and Russia find each other at odds, which leads to the start of a Third World War, in which millions of lives are lost. On and off of the battlefield. The war goes on for up to eight years, with seemingly no end and the mountain of corpses beginning to pile up. That is when United States becomes a battlefield as well, for a mysterious assassin. 

Following the death of Ashton Burke, Miranda Laurent is quite suspicious of the cause and begins an investigation to find and apprehend this mysterious assassin, all for herself and Ashton's daughter, Orla. This investigation reveals plenty of shocking secrets kept under wraps for years and throws her into the darkest crevices of her mind, where she is forced to come to terms with a tragedy that befell her family at the beginning of the war. 

In a hunt with barely any leads, the assassin seems to be multiple steps ahead at all times, until he meets Miranda and he falls into her clutches, which makes things far more convoluted.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)
The TISIPHONE betrayal by bmotayne
37 parts Complete
When Consuela Espinoza discovers that she will be cross-examining the man who deserted her twenty-five years ago in Uruguay at the height of the Falklands War, she is torn between her well-honed professional ethics and a visceral desire for revenge. While she struggles with her primeval urge to punish Lt. Col. Christopher Martin (The Parachute Regiment (UK)) on the witness stand, what was supposed to be a routine libel suit explodes into a courtroom drama of international proportions when she discovers that her client's brother, code named 'the Inquisitor', was the leader of an intelligence unit responsible for multiple brutal human rights violations in the Americas, Iraq, Iran, Bosnia and other countries in the Middle East. As the focus shifts to identifying the Inquisitor and his employers, Consuela is devastated to discover that her family has been directly involved in assisting several dictatorships in Central and South America. To further add to the combustible mix, she discovers that Christopher was the leader of the British Army’s TISIPHONE unit assigned to tracking and eliminating these war criminals. Had he used her to assist his investigation in the Americas? The question remains unanswered when she realizes that she and her children are threatened by the ensuing maelstrom of international intrigue that has invaded the Manhattan courtroom. In desperation, Consuela turns to the only man who can possibly help her to protect her family—Lt. Col. Chris Martin. But can she trust him this time?

Alex always knew exactly what her life was going to look like. She was going to get a job as an ESL teacher and visit wild, exotic places in the summers. She was going to live in a two story house on the beach or high up in the mountains. Maybe a dog. Maybe a husband. Some day... Her life looks nothing like that, and it's all thanks to Ethan James. A chance encounter threw her into a world where guns are handled as easily as hairbrushes, death is trivial, and the world is constantly hanging in the balance. Ethan's world had shrunk down to secrets and lies. It seems like that's all that's ever been. He's tempted to leave it all behind. Until he meets Alex. She's so different, so... normal. All he's ever wanted is her safe and happy future. Although, it's quickly becoming apparent that future better not include him. Living under an assumed name, sans Ethan, she's safe. Life is stable. Things are... okay. When he comes knocking at her door will they risk it all to save the world?
