Hit: A Thriller (The Codename: Chandler) (16 page)

Heath wouldn’t forget her. And not just because she had taken his eye. That was just one of his many regrets.

He could see it now, looking at the Hydra reports. He’d believed destroying Bratton’s discovery was the right thing, the just thing, but he should have known the world wouldn’t make things that clear and easy.

There was never an end to evil. Heath might have obliterated one incarnation, but
El Diablo
would counter by simply coming up with another. He should have seen that possibility, should have recognized the relentless march. If there was anything he’d failed to do, it was that.

The fight was far from over.

Next time he got his hands on something of this magnitude, he would protect it, keep it, use it to fight back. He would win justice for those who had none. And he would let no one get in his way.

Not even his Chandler.
