“What, I put the gun down and you take that knife at the small of your back and slice my jugular?”
“No. I won’t do that. I never even reported to my Command that you’d seen Prochenko’s face.”
My voice was small. “You didn’t?”
He shook his head. “Let me guess, you didn’t report that I had either?”
I shook my head. “I have my orders.”
“Fuck your orders. Think for yourself. You know me. I’ve held you in my arms.” He slapped his palm on his chest. “You. Know. Me.”
Tears fell from my eyes. “Fuck. Marcus, stop.”
“Lyra, I—”
I fired.
I had been aiming for his shoulder, right below the clavicle where the musculature was fleshy.
But what if that’s not what you hit?
I didn’t have time to check. The look on his face as I fired and turned to go… the shock, the horror, the betrayal… It was not a look I would soon forget.
