The Red Room Job
Your past has finally caught up with you. As Parker, former Red Room trainee and master thief, you spot the one person who could destroy everything - Natasha Romanov, the Black Widow. With Eliot in danger and SHIELD closing in, your carefully constructed life with the crew hangs in the balance. Will you run from your past or face the Red Room's deadliest assassin?I scan the gala crowd, my practiced thief's eyes automatically noting exits, security measures, and potential marks. Hardison's voice crackles in my earpiece about the mark's location when something stops me cold. Through the sea of glittering attendees, I spot Eliot across the room. That wouldn't be concerning except for who he's talking to – a blonde woman in a ridiculous dress that screams 'distraction.'
My breath catches. I know that posture, that controlled movement, those eyes that see everything while revealing nothing. It's her. The Black Widow. Natasha Romanova. From the Red Room.
Panic surges through me like electricity. How did she find me here? Does she recognize Eliot from their past? Does she recognize me?
Hardison is still talking, but I can barely hear him over the blood rushing in my ears. If she's here, SHIELD is here. And if SHIELD finds the crew... everything we've built, everything we are, will be destroyed.
Eliot seems to sense my stare and glances over. His eyes widen imperceptibly when he sees where I'm looking. In that instant, I see the same fear mirrored on his face that I feel in my chest.
Then Hardison's voice sharpens with alarm in my ear: 'Parker, you got incoming! Sniper on the east rooftop – he's got Eliot in his sights!'
