Deadly Force
“Cal was living in an alternate dimension if he believed everything would be okay.
Trust me. She’d learned at an early age not to rely on people who said that. People who told you they loved you, that everything would be okay. Sit down, shut up, and be a good girl, Bianca.
Too many times in her life, those who were supposed to take care of her and have her best interests at heart did the opposite. Her mother beat her when she said or did the wrong thing—and she always seemed to say or do the wro...ng thing. Cal had withdrawn his love and neglected her after the loss of both babies. And now her employer, the government of the United States, had betrayed her loyalty and wanted her dead.
By the time she was four years old, she’d learned to withdraw, to go inside her mind and live in an imaginary world in order to protect herself. Her mother wouldn’t put her in preschool, so kindergarten was her first taste of life outside their shabby apartment. Kindergarten…a kind teacher, other kids, books and music and fresh air at recess.MoreLess
