SCOUT: Into the Ashes

Some partnerships are forged in fire. Theirs was forged in blood.

Scout is Blackstone Security’s resident wild card, all charm, zero filter, and ruthless when it counts. Wraith is their newest operator, a former Army Ranger who has spent her career surviving in spaces that never wanted her there. She trusts no one. Not the team. Not Scout. Not even herself.

When a routine assignment turns deadly, the first victim is a client under Wraith’s lead. The second is a gas station attendant who gave her directions hours before he was executed with military precision. The pattern is deliberate. Someone is choosing victims who crossed her path and making sure she has no alibi when the bodies fall.

The killer knows her instincts. Her tactics. Her tells. He is forcing her to confront a past she never intended to revisit while quietly dismantling her credibility from the inside out.

Scout doesn’t know the full story. He only knows two things: someone is targeting his team, and Wraith is carrying more than she lets anyone see. Now the woman who refuses to trust must rely on the one man who refuses to walk away.

Because when your enemy once had your back, survival demands more than skill. It demands trust. And this time, the cost of getting it wrong will be written in blood.
