Sienna Captain Redbeard was a sucker-punching, bomb-laying little asshole, and when he did both those things within about two seconds of each other, it really challenged my new resolution about trying not to kill people. It was a flexible resolution, I told myself. After all, hadn’t I started out all sweetly naïve, unwilling to kill, before Old Man Winter showed me how stupid it was to draw that line? Sure, I might have pulled back from that later when the government lawyers suggested I stop leaving quite so many dead bodies behind me. I’d gone with that until a guy named Philip Delsim in London had reminded me what a proper villain looked like. My enemies weren’t out to take me prisoner; that much was certain. Captain Redbeard wasn’t just going to knock me unconscious and go about his business. Unless he was lying, he definitely planned to kill me. And since he’d just bombed people and sucker-punched me, I was inclined to take the low-down bastard at his word on this one. The point is, holding back with this guy was starting to look like a bad idea, especially given his enthusiasm for explosives.
