Linzie felt a weight on her heart finally fall.
Their orders were to capture Sylas if possible, but she had disregarded them immediately. Someone this dangerous couldn't possibly be caught. Giving him a chance to escape in the future or deal more damage to them was unacceptable to her.
The idea that the higher-ups wanted her to risk the life of her men more just for the sake of them getting a new shiny toy to play with was ridiculous.
Since they had said "if possible", she took creative liberties with her orders. Later, she would just write that it was impossible as the target was too uncooperative.
Her gaze shifted and it landed on the naked woman Sylas had dropped when he attempted his escape. Although Linzie had seen her before, she directly ignored Vesta. The reason for that was because she wasn't about to allow Sylas the chance to use a hostage to slip out of this matter, not to mention the fact that the government of now didn't work like it did before.
