Oh you idiot. __y monthly cycles finally came back!__is face suddenly matched hers and he stepped away, dragging his hand through his short hair. __-if...Then I'll take my leave,_ he stammered, and bowed. Celaena raised an eyebrow, and then, despite herself, smiled as he left the room as quick as his feet could go without running, tripping slightly in the doorway as he staggered into the rooms beyond.

He dropped the phone back onto its cradle, began to turn around and felt a sudden ice-cold furrow open up in his side. Strength drained from his legs, and a moment later he sank to his knees. There was warmth now that ran over the initial and persistent cold.Mohammed was confused, and barely noticed the briefcase being removed from his grip.

A short while later, as I stare down at the bodies of the six men I have just killed, I cannot help but wonder: Do I love killing? Of a certainty, I love the way my body and weapons move as one; I revel in the knowledge of where to strike for maximum impact. And of a certainty, I am good at it.

He pauses then, studying me. __ow would you have done it?__is question surprises me. __ou mean how would I have killed you?___es. Do you have a favorite method for such things?__ince he knows I am an assassin, there is no need to be coy. __ prefer a garrote. I like the intimacy it allows me when I whisper reminders of vengeance in their ears as they die.

If they were going to kill you, would they knock?

I would remember them forever__heir names, my reasons, the way their bodies slumped in death and their eyes stared through me.
