arrival [open]
Shadow's arrival came in the dead of night. They'd picked one of the cloudiest nights in Russia to bring her in, and really, she was amused at the careful treatment of her. She'd been trained enough to notice the hesitant integration.
A team of more than four people? This was new. But still, a job was a job, and it was nice to get out of those ridiculous labs. She felt the interest from Cody, and fought against the tug for control.
Not yet, she needed to make sure things were right there, and that Cody would be safe. With a sigh, she trudged across the snowy ground, backpack slung over her shoulder. New surroundings or not, Shadow needed to sleep.
