The Innocent
Robie is sent to take out a target. However, something doesn't seem right, and he does the inconceivable, he refuses to kill, and becomes a target himself.

He crosses paths with a fourteen-year-old absconder from a foster home, but she is no usual runaway. Her parents were murdered, and her own life is in danger. Against his professional judgement, Robie finds he can't walk away. The more he learns about her, the more he becomes convinced she is in the middle of a cover-up, that rises to inconceivable levels of power.

Robie may have to come out of hiding in order to save the girl's life, and maybe his own.
