The main character in my book, Darcy, come back from retirement for one assignment. All she has to do is meet with a Russian spy and get the message he has and deliver back to the CIA. He specifically asked for her because they are old friends. When they meet he stabs her and almost kills her. If these people found out she was not dead they would send someone else after her, so she knew she must get to safety. What would you do in this situation, retaliate and go searching for him, or just let it go and worry about getting back home.
