Aaron pulled Cadence’s apartment door open abruptly, causing Eliza to stumble forward, as she had been attempting to eavesdrop. He sighed in disgust and headed back to his apartment. She followed, wondering just how much damage was done and if she could repair it.
She got her answer shortly. As soon as Aaron entered his apartment, he turned to look at her, an expression of outrage on his face. "What in the world possessed you to answer my door--dressed like that--and let Cadence believe she had interrupted...something you know we weren’t doing?"

The weather was unseasonably warm on Tuesday and had been for the last several days. Cadence had parked a few blocks away from the place where she was supposed to meet Jack so she could walk up and do some observing. Most of the team had been in or near their assigned positions for hours so that they could keep a lookout. When Cadence was about a block away, she got confirmation from Elliott that Jack had arrived on foot from the west. He was lingering in the shadows near the pharmacy building.Cadence could see him from a distance. He looked like Jack, at least from there. Already, she was ha

Jack leapt over the railing and crouched next to Cadence. She knew he was yelling her name, but she couldn't make out anything else. She also heard chatter on the IAC, something about a car, Zabrina, and "on the ground," but she really had no idea what anyone was saying. Instinctively, she reached for the Glock she had in a holster near her left hip, the side she had not landed on.She began to regain her clear-headedness just as another thud echoed against the pavement, and she realized they were no longer alone. Drawing her gun, she began to bring it up to aim at Giovani. She heard Jack yell

Cadence felt herself dying. She had no idea what had just happened, but the pain in her chest was unbearable. Once Giovani had dropped her onto the pavement, she almost lost consciousness. If it hadn't been for Jamie's eyes locked on hers, she would have faded away."Cadence, stay with me! You're okay!" he was shouting at her."What the hell happened?" she asked aloud. "Did Elliott shoot me?
The Clandestine Saga Leave
Before Cadence even opened her eyes, the overpowering smell of the clean and sterile environment alerted her that something wasn't quite right. Her eyelids fluttered, and she realized she wasn't alone. Memories came flooding back to her all at once, and she was confused as to why her shoulder and her leg no longer felt like they had been blown to bits. Without fully opening her eyes she said, "How long have you been here?""Couple hours," Aaron replied. "How are you feeling?"

The Clandestine Saga Long Way Down
It was a long way down. Glancing past the sheer drop off, she saw the rippling tide smashing against the sharp rocks at least forty feet beneath where she stood. She peered through the darkness using night vision to calculate exactly where she needed to land in order to clear as many of the jagged shards sticking out of the frothy sea where it crested against the shoreline. Noises behind her alerted her that her time was up. Without another thought, she hurled herself out into the darkness, praying that her calculations were correct. In an instant, the frigid water cut through her, but not as deeply as the sharp rock she’d caught with her shin just before the water engulfed her. It took her only a moment to push the pain out of her mind and r
