Talon: Combat Tracking Team (A Breed Apart) - Plot & Excerpts
Despite the late hour, the heat held its fist-hold oppression on the city, much the way this situation did on his heart and life. Cardinal sat on the beach, staring out over the night-darkened waters. He had her. Cardinal knew that the colonel—wait. He’s a general now. Cardinal smirked. Though the man had risen in rank, he would always sit at the lower rank in Cardinal’s mind. Colonel. It’d been the only noun he’d been allowed to use in reference to the man. If he called him father, Cardinal got a beating. But one didn’t use a nice term such as that with a man like Colonel Vasily Tselekova. I thought I escaped him. There was no escape from a past like that. It shaped his life. More like disfigured his life. The same blood that drove his father to be a cruel, hard taskmaster pumped through Cardinal’s veins. For the last two decades, he’d worked to master it. Master the anger. The rage. He wanted nothing more than to become a better man than the colonel. Tonight, he completely failed.
