Page 6 of The Perfect Revenge (Jessie Hunt #41)

The man was a little disappointed that the kid had failed.

Even though it would have interfered with his own plans, he had to admit that he’d almost been rooting for Dallas Henry.

Of course, he had no idea of Henry's identity until law enforcement found him.

But once he learned about the young man, he couldn't help but admire him.

It appeared that Henry was just a kid, barely a teenager, when he first joined the movement.

And yet, he'd mostly kept his involvement a secret, even after he started to formulate his plan to continue Mark Haddonfield's good works.

Dallas Henry had gone to the right community college so that he could transfer to Hannah Dorsey’s university.

He’d gotten close to her, winning her trust to the point that she willingly walked into the wilderness with the guy, clueless as to his true motivations.

Henry was so promising as a soldier in the great battle, and he almost got the job done.

But in the end, he was simply too young, too inexperienced, and too sloppy. That combination had led to his capture and—once he eventually recovered from his injuries—to his incarceration.

The man wouldn’t make those mistakes. He had the skill set and patience to avoid them.

Dallas Henry was clearly an ardent supporter of Haddonfield’s mission.

And yes, he was part of the movement to restore men to their rightful throne of primacy and put females back in their proper place.

But he’d been unprepared for the personal sacrifices that mission required.

The man was not. He had bided his time, planted his roots, carving out a respectable place in society. He was trusted, even admired by some. All that would work to his advantage when the time came to teach Jessie Hunt a lesson.

And that time was coming soon.
