for Marc Marigold in Swordsmoke: The Hunt
Suggested by underworld_stories
With their camp lost to Fletcher’s loyalists, Marc, Bo, Sasha, Bao, Bryce, and Brutas lay low at Sasha’s house. Sasha warns them about her former group—the Hunters—now led by Norman Ryder, a ruthless ex-Marine. With Fletcher dead, the Hunters want revenge, and Norman won’t stop until the Agency is wiped out. While Bao and Sasha dig into Norman’s operations, Marc and Bo begin receiving ominous notes—signed by Mercenary. The messages pile up until Kitty Hall, a cold operative for Mercenary, arrives at their doorstep. She doesn’t threaten them directly—instead, she tells them Mercenary made a deal. The Hunters get their revenge, and Mercenary stays out of it… for now. Bao infiltrates the Hunter compound and confronts Norman. A brutal fight breaks out, and during the chaos, a vat of chemicals—sent by Mercenary for genetic testing—spills. Bao is exposed but manages to escape. As Norman rallies his troops for war, Bao begins to feel strange changes. Wounded and disoriented, Bao stumbles through the desert. Just as he collapses, a stranger offers him water. “Name’s Jack,” the man says with a grin. “You’re gonna want to hear what I know.” The hunt has begun.
