Adam thought the job was going to be easy. Overwatch while some rich eccentric took care of a straightforward transfer of merchandise. It hardly justified the presence of a one mercenary let alone a squad backed up by two very skilled snipers.

Adam had seen action on two separate continents and thought he'd seen everything. He's about to get a glimpse into a world more dangerous than any he'd previously imagined.

Author's note: Handoff is part of the Dark Reflection's series of stories. Dark Reflections explores an alternate timeline with many of the same characters from the Reflections books. Handoff is a 4,700 word short story.

Praise for Broken and Torn:

"Couldn't put it down...I planned to read for a couple of hours...I literally could not stop as planned. It was 2:00 AM the next morning when I finished the book and was able to stumble off to bed." –LCM

"Torn by Dean Murray was a fantastic and refreshing twist on Shape-shifters...phenomenally executed. Those who love a good werewolf/shape-shifter story will tear Torn apart, and those who love their romance with a bite will fall in love with Torn. I'm confident that it will appeal to both boys and girls...I would absolutely recommend this." -Shana (California)

"Seriously, I had to remind myself that Adriana wasn't real and I couldn't help her! I could feel her pain and confusion. What a wonderful gift author Dean Murray has for creating and penning such likable characters." -Dr. Deb (Colorado)
