Raising his hands, Dante pulled back.
Faith took a deep breath and pushed away from the wall as rock and cement came down with her.
“A-are you hurt?”Dante looked her over carefully while holding a flashlight on her.
“I am.”She grabbed him up and tugged him to her, to plant a deep kiss onto his lips.
The rest of them turned their flashlights away.
Grisha kept shaking his head in disbelief.“I’m in a movie, man.I am in a movie.”
The two hit-girls snickered.
Chapter Nine
Dima, Catch and Minkisat there, staring at him.
Grisha shrugged and said, “This woman has skills and powers no one yet understands.”
Faith and Dante finally came over and sat across the aisle from them.
Faith laid her head back against the seat and asked the men, “Do you know what the four of them were planning to do to this country?”
Minki looked at the others and shook his head.“We were not told very much.Grisha may know more than we do.Sergi told us to stop him, so we stopped him.”
Faith took a deep breath and exhaled.“Four men got together and took on the persona of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.The story in the bible.They kidnapped homeless men off the streets and began a program where they turned them into mindless assassins.They took their minds and made them into mindless things.They are then brainwashed to take orders and fight to the death.”
“How did you figure all of this out?”Dima asked.
Faith raised her head and looked at them.“Because they put me into their program as well.They gave me injections for seven years and tried to make me into a super soldier too.Only later, I found out that the program was supposed to quit giving me the injections after three years.I became a freak of a failed program.I’m not sure how long I will go on as I am.I’ve had no injections for quite some time.”
The men all looked stunned at her announcement.
Faith continued, “So when our team had the doctor who gave me these injections in their custody, they discovered Mr.Winters, who in fact was Mr.White.He was the one that supplied the funds for this super soldier program.Your Enforcers helped us with infiltrating his building in New York.”She paused to nod her head at Grisha.“We then learned of this plot they had thought up.We learned by trial and error the only way these soldier-assassins can truly die is to lose their heads, literally.Mr.White lost his life when he lost his head.”Taking another deep breath, she went on with her story, “Mr.Red was shipping weapons to our enemies while Mr.Black and Mr.Pallor of Death were going to poison the food and the water, shutting down the two elements of survival we need to be able to live.”She looked over her shoulder to glare at Drake Trac.“He was going to put a poison into the river system that would kill anyone drinking the water.That is what was in the canisters.I’m assuming what’s in the blue canister is only harmful if it's mixed with what’s in the red canister.Once the two are mixed, the combination becomes lethal and will kill anything that touches it.”
Dima nodded.“No wonder he was so nervous in the car.”
