Anika
The job had not gone as planned. It was far from perfect. It was a complete blasphemy!
On top of that, she had managed to anger the boss.
Great! Just amazing!
She could hear a distant murmur, someone calling her name, asking for her.
She dropped the limp figure on the floor, as she took a step back. The World was swirling around her....
"Anika, what happened?" Kaz could only fathom the worst, "Anika?!"
"Water," she croaked.
The explanation would come. First, she needed to steady herself.

She was walking down the lane, hood up, crouched low. The Dime Lions were rumored to have gotten their territory expanded to their old warehouses. She was supposed to sneak in on their conversations and find out which ones were being used. They were careful enough not to leave any recorded documents behind. She would be back within an hour. In and out.

"How did they know about Inej returning from Ravka?" Kaz rasped coldly.
"The latest slave trader intercepted by Inej, Volkov, Dreke Volkov, was one of their valuable assets. Dreke had somehow managed to communicate with them before being a prisoner of the Wraith."
"And they are planning what?"
"To hold her as a captive at the warehouse near the Van Eck Mansion."
"Does Jesper or Wylan know about this?"
"I don't think so," her voice quivered, "No."
"Umm, Kaz?"
Kaz followed her gaze to find Roeder waking up.
