Sapphire Angel infiltrates WarTech's facility, the site of her prior capture and humiliation. The superheroine hopes to find Eric and end WarTech's treachery.
......Ahhh, crud. Something tells me that if Sapphire had gotten that message from Officer Jennings, then things might’ve gone ever so slightly easier. Then again, Sapphire seems to be taking care of things just fine on her own, at least at the moment. Of course, I always welcome the exhilarating action scenes as they come; the more, the merrier. It seems like we both strive for that equal balance of action and character development/backstory/drama in our novels, while taking care to not lean too heavily on one side or the other......though I admit I’ve put a little too much of a spotlight on the “action” portion.
The gadget that Valik’s supposedly been hard at work putting together.....might it have something to do with Sapphire’s energy readings, the Noctecite ore, and all of his recovered data? Something to allow WarTech’s leaders to get the drop on Sapphire Angel if she intrudes (which she’s already doing)? After all of the previous times the villains have tried to get the best of her, I’m somewhat doubting that this will work, but after everything she’s gone through with both Raven Tristan and Roy Valik, I’m also convinced that anything’s possible. I think I mentioned this in a previous post already, but it seems like if the villains want Sapphire Angel, then sneak attacks or carefully-planned traps tend to be more successful than brash, head-on assaults.
Bet Sapphire wasn’t expecting to see Amal Nassar and Mantis on the other side of that office door......she should beat them up, restrict Amal Nassar with zip ties, take a picture, and send it off to Majid Azari.....we’ll see just how much he hates her after that. xD
So Amal Nassar and Mantis next chapter (and maybe a few after that), then Devlin, Chappelle, and Valik. Steve Hains, Richard Turner, and Gregor are also out there as well. Nassar hasn’t fought Sapphire Angel yet, but Mantis has on several occasions, and has definitely proven to be the “brawn” of the group to Valik’s “brains”. Although......I’m wondering how his previous scuffle with Sapphire would’ve turned out had the elevator gas trap NOT been a thing.
If the next chapter begins with Sapphire just closing the door awkwardly again and then rushing off to continue her assault elsewhere, that’d be hilarious. Though, she’s definitely not that kind of person; these two are high-priority targets, after all.
Another great action sequence I loved the way she dealt with the guards banging their heads together then using sleepers on them

SA: “Ummm.....uhhh.....sorry to bother you two.”
