“I killed two high–ranking members of Dark Shadow. They’re looking for revenge. I have a younger brother in school, Isabelle explained briefly.

Her revelation stunned White Owl and Jack.

Isabelle had called to ensure Ethan’s safety. Although George’s people were already protecting Ethan, she felt more comfortable with her own people.

With their former boss’s skills, White Owl thought that Dark Shadow was the only likely culprit capable of taking her down.

He also turned to Isabelle, waiting for an answer.

Isabelle asked, “If it is, are you going to seek revenge?”
