I slid away from the unconscious ones, as footfalls sounded outside. They weren’t even trying to be quiet, which showed a profound disrespect for our skills. I shook my head silently at Fade, who shrugged. They’re crazy, he said with his black eyes. Who understands what they do?
Rows of crates offered hiding places, making it difficult for them to track us. Fade smeared his blood all over everything as we moved in and out of the shadows, avoiding detection. I had been born in the dark. Once torchlight was the brightest light I’d ever seen, so this felt like coming home.
I listened for them, eyes closed. They came after us in twos and threes. It was almost unfair. Because they searched for Fade, we made sure they found him, time and again. When I joined the fight, their expressions shocked me. You’d think they had never seen a girl who knew how to use a weapon before. Stupidity kills.

About FV Sophia
LOL, love that.
Don’t you just love it when the “girl” is always dismissed as a threat by the bad guys? This passage put chill bumps up my spine and I have already read the book, however it still sticks in my mind weeks later and just wish the next one were already out!
@Catherine: Yes, that totally grabbed me and totally fits the heroine in this story. I am really enjoying this book.
@Jackie B Central Texas: No the brightest idea to dismiss this character. She is awesome!
