Lena shouldn’t have left her team. Especially not on her first mission since joining this strange, alternate pasts’ recall. But when she spotted the back of a jacket with a pair of big red numbers on it heading down an alleyway in the small Mexican town where they’d stopped to resupply, she had to follow it.
Getting away wasn’t easy, not with Angela and Winston watching her like a hawk, but as soon as they were distracted Lena sprinted down the alley.
Which way? Right? Left? ... Left. She headed down alleys and backstreets, pushing past clutter and shady business entrances.
It was a stupid idea. She knew that. Even if the man in the visor was willing to listen to her, he probably didn’t have any idea who she was. It was too early in the timeline for them to have met.
“Soldier!” Lena called as she spotted him ahead of her on the empty backstreet. “Wait up!”
