"How many people have you killed?" Dimitri asked.
"Forty-seven," the operative said without emotion. "I keep count."
Dimitri felt the weight of that number. Forty-seven people. Forty-seven lives ended by this man's hands.

The operative took a breath.
"There's a command council," the operative began. "Five people at the highest level. Viktor Mikhailov is one of them. There's a woman named Aleksandra Volkov who handles logistics. There's a man named James who manages financial operations. There's someone we only know as 'The Director' who sets overall strategy. And there's a fifth council member whose identity I was never given."
"And below the council?" Dimitri pressed.
