All he had intended was to whisk Natalia away from Silkwood City, thereby cutting off her contact with Ronin.

Hamilton's face was a study in storm clouds as he pulled his car over to the curb and got out.

The strain on Natalia's face was palpable.

Natalia raised an eyebrow, challenging. "Is that a problem?"

Hamilton's composure was slipping.
