Release Date: June 2009 as a free download

When someone close to TL disappears, The Specialists pull out all the stops. GiGi is brought into another mission along with Bruiser and Mystic. This time, it’s a fight to the finish, and someone doesn’t make it out alive.

EXCERPT:

Blindfold still on, Bruiser turned to Mystic. "Come on, dude, be a man."

Mystic swallowed. "I think I’m afraid of you."

Bruiser smiled. "As you should be." And then she sprinted toward him.

His eyes widened as he held up the pole and backed away. She came to a stop right in front of him, reached out, and bopped him in the side of the head.

Mystic jerked. "Hey!"

She bopped him in the other side of the head. "You’re a sissy. How do you expect to compete in less than two weeks? I’m just a little girl and I’m about to beat you up." She shoved him in the chest. "You’re going to be up against guys twice your size. And they’re going to laugh in your face if you back away from them."

Standing on her tiptoes, Bruiser leaned in closer until their faces were mere inches away from each other. "They’re going to laugh, and then they’ll beat you to a bloody pulp. Now," she butted her forehead into his face, "hit me, you girl."

Mystic narrowed his eyes, and I swore it was the first time I ever saw him look irritated. He slid his pole up between them and shoved her away.

She took a few steps back. "Good. Come on."

He lifted the pole, holding it like a spear, and slung it at her.

Bruiser didn’t move, just lifted her hand and caught it. "Didn’t expect you to do that. Not bad." She tossed the pole back to him.

Looking a little proud of himself, Mystic caught the pole.

Very quietly TL signaled the guys, and they all moved at once, coming at her from opposite directions.

They swatted and jabbed and rushed at her. She dodged and kicked and flipped.

They swung and struck. She punched and blocked.

They lunged and poked. She disarmed and tossed their weapons.

They reached for her, and Bruiser, looking a bit ‘done with it’, whirled and touched Jonathan in the back of the neck. Spun and flicked David in the hip. Whipped around and poked the tip of her elbow to Mystic’s shoulder. And shot straight up in a split and tapped TL in the chest with her toes.

All four guys fell to the floor, moaning and heaving for breaths.
