Nine-Nine: The Lethal Smile
Vee doesn't just have a past-she has the past. Escaping a shadowy facility at 16, she became the deadliest assassin the world never knew. For one year, her name whispered fear in underground circles, her unmatched skills earning her a reputation rivaling myths. But the weight of that life was too much, even for her. At 17, she walked away, determined to be more than the weapon she was made to be.
Then she met Captain Raymond Holt.
Holt found her at a crossroads, a teenager with an assassin's precision and a smile that masked her pain. Instead of treating her as a threat, Holt saw potential. He gave her a chance to start over, treating her with the respect and care she'd never known, like a daughter. Under his quiet mentorship, Vee learned there was another path-a way to use her skills for good.
Years later, Holt brings her into the Nine-Nine as a special consultant. Her bubbly and cheery personality throws the squad for a loop, masking a dangerous, complex past that begins to unravel as she integrates into their world. While her lethal expertise quickly earns the team's admiration (and suspicion), it's her growing bond with the enigmatic Rosa Diaz that proves to be the most surprising challenge yet.
As secrets resurface and old enemies return, Vee must reconcile who she was with who she wants to be-all while trying to survive the chaotic family that is the Nine-Nine.
Will the squad accept her for who she is now, or will her past overshadow her future?
