Chapter Six EVGENI WATCHED THE trio having an argument of some kind through his scope, but could not hear what they were saying. With the housekeeping girl’s information, he’d seen the three of them leave the Kovalenko headquarters as she described. His colleagues with the Odessa Krysha, undercover operatives, were extremely grateful for this insight, and immediately tracked the group by surveillance drone into the woods. A small strike force followed and now stood ready, surrounding the clearing unseen. Evgeni gave the signal, but the Krysha were already on the move. He’d told them to leave the girl alone; Evgeni had other plans for her. He wondered if she would recognize him. *
