Chapter Five
“ C ome. I’ll show you to your room.”
Batya swallowed in an attempt to settle her stomach. The last thing she wanted to do was splatter her dinner all over the gleaming silver floor. She settled for a nod and followed…why didn’t she know her name yet?
When they got to a sleek door, her guide made a point of putting in the code slowly so Batya could memorize it. The door slid open and Batya whistled. This luxury was not what she envisioned when she’d planned to join an elite squadron.
“This is really nice.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll earn it.”
As she turned, Batya grasped her hand.
“Wait, I don’t know your name.”
She raised an eyebrow and Batya dragged her hand away.
“Jimena. You’ll meet the rest of the team in two days when we brief for our next mission.”
Batya’s eyes widened.
A mission already?
Jimena’s lips curved into a small smile.
“What? You thought you’d have more time? We only take the best for a reason, Batya Capstone.”
With that, she walked away, leaving Batya alone to get used to her new quarters.
