I don't think we've met any women in the organization Vlad would ever try to take out... Kiera? Hah! And although Cawti seems to be the highest female in Organization "management" after Vlad leaves her South Adrilankha, I don't see Vlad ever trying to take her out. Obviously, other Jhereg might. Although I wonder... in Phoenix, why don't the Jhereg just take her out, rather than the big elaborate frame-up? I suppose that a hitman code proscribing against killing women would make it so that they don't go after her directly. I think the fact that she's an Easterner as well as a Jhereg complicates things in terms of the hitman code... Jose -- Jose Marquez jhereg69 at earthlink.net
