Chapter 68
The area outside the PD was total chaos, Eric knelt down next to Horatio’s still form his gun drawn, searching for any sign of the assassin. Frank was soon next to him shouting into a radio, asking for the helicopter to scan the area.
A moment later it arrived and the news that Frank heard made his eyebrows rise. He pointed toward the roof of the building almost a thousand yards away. “Up there, but we’ll need to be careful, our assassin is not alone.”
Eric glanced at Frank, “Mich?”
The older man shrugged his shoulders, “Don’t know, but the description I have is of two people fighting with swords on a rooftop.”
“Swords!”
Frank pulled a face and shook his head, he had seen and heard so many strange things in his lifetime – especially here in Miami – that nothing really surprised him any more. Undoing the clip on his holster, he led the way to the 12 storey building.

Mich’s face was impassive. The Lynx’s anger clear to see. The older woman had become complacent in her work, but she felt that Mich had been lucky, too lucky.
“Who helped you to find me? The Lieutenant? He knew all along didn’t he…? I should have guessed.”
Mich said nothing, knowing her adversary was trying to get information from her as they circled each other. Her opponent had tapped blades with her a couple of times, testing the strength of Mich’s arm. She knew she had to be careful, the Lynx was well known in the ‘secret’ world for her skill with a blade.
Watching her carefully, Mich realised that the Lynx was wary and almost smiled to herself. Anna had left service and turned rogue before Mich had acquired her own set of blades and didn’t really know how good the MI5 agent was. It was Mich’s only advantage.
The rapier blade was about 30 cm longer than Mich’s katana and designed for piercing the opponent as opposed to the katana’s razor sharp cutting edge, the katana was also slightly heavier. It would mean that both of the former agents would be using different techniques.
Mich could attack and defend using both blades – either singly or in a double attack. The Lynx’s rapier was a much quicker weapon, and complemented with a dagger for defence or a close quarter attack meant that the women were equally matched.
The Lynx moved first, lunging in with the point of the rapier aimed at Mich’s face. The former MI5 agent moved quickly, bringing up her katana for defence but she could not prevent the tip of her opponent’s blade from slicing across her cheekbone.
Grimacing in pain, Mich gritted her teeth, realising then she had to take the fight to the Lynx and go on the offensive. The advantage with her katana was the quickness of the blade to move between attack and defence, she had to get the Lynx to over extend.
She brought her blades up to a more vertical position, giving her greater flexibility of movement and once more began to circle. The Lynx chuckled.
“Out of practise Wolf…?”
“First blood does not mean you have won…” Mich watched her opponent closely, noticing that her left arm was hanging a little too low for correct defence and smiled. “How’s your shoulder?”
The Lynx snarled, but did not respond to Mich’s goading, recognising it for what it was. Taking a quick step forward she again went for her face, but this time Mich was ready, spinning away trailing a curving katana blade behind her.
When they once again faced each other, Mich was the one smiling, noticing that the Lynx was carrying a fresh cut on her left arm. Her opponent was now weakened on one side. However the rogue agent was no fool and changed her stance to a slightly more sideways approach.
For the next few minutes, Mich sought to exploit that weakness and although she managed to get in a couple more cuts – one of which crossed the Lynx’s ribs, she did not escape unscathed. A slice across the back of her left hand was extremely painful and the blood was flowing freely.
Taking a deep breath, she discarded her left hand blade. It was a risk, but she knew that fighting with one blade she would be able to compensate for her weaker left hand. Working with one blade would make her stronger in the attack, but would also mean she had to get in closer.
There was also something else she had on her side – she had spotted the helicopter flying overhead and knew the PD would be on their way, all she had to do was hang on until they arrived. It was an option that part of her didn’t want to take. The pain of her wounds had caused the anger within to rise and the Wolf was not prepared to take prisoners.
Gritting her teeth, she prepared to take the roof top duel to the next level.
