Her body has healed, but her mind is still recovering from the horrible experience and she thirsts for revenge. She crafts a scheme to exact retribution. She eyes the head of the military mission who instigated the carnage that she survived; he is now a well-admired retiring general about to cap his career with the service's highest honors. The man is at last within her reach--the drama of revenge is nearing its climax--now Karina will set it into action. Written by Gay Filipino Soldier See less
