Additional Notes: Perhaps it's my mind playing tricks on me, but I always saw the possibility that Irina shaped Sark for a specific purpose.




Insurance


She'd guided him through young adulthood, trained him as he transitioned from boy to man, innocent civilian to experienced operative. She poured her heart and soul into his making, shaping his future and sharpening his mind and instincts. He was a masterpiece wrought by her hand.

They thought him her protégé, heir to her empire.

She found that amusing. And disappointing, for not one of them considered her true motives, none had connected the dots.

She had not been grooming him to take over. He was simply a tool of her creation, her insurance.

The ultimate gift to her daughter.
