10 Years Later

"Breathe," I whisper into my earpiece.

"Shut the fuck up and let me take the shot," Claire replies. Annoyance ripples through every syllable as we"ve been gearing up for this moment that"s been years in the making.

I have her in my sights, watching through a pair of binoculars as she lies flat on her stomach, snuggling against her Remington 700 semi-automatic rifle, on the ledge of a construction site that"s fifteen stories in the air. Her target?

My binoculars pan from the empty construction site to a Panamanian jungle bungalow resort suite where Carmine Scarpella is eating breakfast by an indoor pool. My heart races as I hear the swift pop of Clare taking the shot she"s been training for. With Carmine bleeding out over his breakfast, our last monster is dead.

"Happy birthday, baby," I tell her over the earpiece.

"You sure know how to celebrate with a girl." She winks at me from afar as she cleans up her kill site. No shell casings, no fingerprints, no evidence left behind. By the time the maid discovers Carmine"s corpse, we"ll be on a flight back to the states as a happily married couple going back home to our children.

I would have never thought life could give me so much after taking away so many. Having Claire on this journey makes me the luckiest man alive. Her growth into this lethal bombshell beauty, a mother, a friend, a business partner, has been everything I never knew I wanted until she let a monster like me love her.
