The night air struck Ronan's lungs the second he jumped off Jayden's window, landing on the gravel below.His knees bent instantly to absorb the impact, his coat flaring behind him before settling into stillness.For a moment, he didn't move as his eyes lifted instinctively towards Jayden's room watching the curtains sway faintly.Ronan exhaled slowly and turned, moving along the wall in swift silence.Every step was measured and controlled like the practiced movements of someone who had survived too many ambushes to trust quiet nights.He was three strides from the fence when suddenly his instinct screamed halting his step.His gaze shifted sideways too quickly and there were men, dressed entirely in black, blending into the darkness so perfectly they almost didn't exist.They had no flashlights, no voices nor sound accompanying them just slow patrol patterns designed for one purpose. “To capture him.”Ronan's jaw tightened. “You never change, old man.” he murmured under his breath.

The gunshot still echoed in Jayden’s ears long after the sound died.Blood hit the floor first, quietly.Jayden’s gaze lifted inch by inch until the figure standing in front of him came into focus, Black.His shoulders trembled slightly, one hand pressed against the spreading stain soaking through his coat. Dark red seeped between his fingers, dripping steadily onto the concrete.Alessio lowered the gun, irritation flashing across his face.“What,” he said coldly, “do you think you are doing?”Black exhaled through clenched teeth, voice steady despite the strain. “Why don't you rethink this?”Jayden stared, breath stuck somewhere between his lungs and throat.“He’s still useful,” Black continued calmly. “Killing him now gains us nothing.”Smoke curled from Alessio’s cigarette as he tilted his head. “You stepped in front of my bullet.”“Sir…”“Do you believe your explanation is worth it?” Alessio interrupted, coldly.Black's lips twitched faintly. “I believe it is, if you spare me a c

The air in the room seemed to vanish as sweat clouded Jayden's palm.Black stood by the doorway, hands tucked casually into his coat pockets, his expression carved from stone.Sunlight hit him from behind, turning him into a silhouette blocking the only clear path to the door.“Well,” Black said mildly, gaze drifting to the bedstand. “You never disappoint me.”Jayden’s breathing came out fast and heavy as his hands instinctively pulled out the USB drive and slid it into his pocket.But Black noticed his movement, his lips curving faintly. “Your actions are so predictable.”Jayden's lips quivered. “What do you want?”Jayden chuckled under his breath and took a step forward, each step closing the distance between them.“So,” Black continued, ignoring Jayden's question, “this is what you've been rushing your life for.”Jayden swallowed. “My life is none of your business.”“None of my business?” Black repeated, stopping at the foot of the bed.So close enough for Jayden to notice the fain

The tension in the room was so sharp as Drake gazed at Jayden, the phone sitting firmly on his outstretched palm.Jayden’s heartbeat pounded so violently that he took a step back afraid Drake might hear it.“My arm hurts, Jayden.” he said, voice low.Jayden swallowed, his fingers trembling so badly as he took the phone from Drake.Just then, the phone vibrated against his palm and he nearly dropped the phone.“Who's that?” Drake inquired, instantly.Jayden's breath caught when he saw the message. “Dial this number.” it read.He quickly turned slightly away, pressing the phone against his chest as if shielding it from sight.Drake reached for the phone. “Hand it over.”Jayden's throat tightened. “I…I…I will call him.”And without thinking, he dialed the number afraid Drake might suspect if he wasted even one quarter of a second.The ringing lasted for a second, then…“Jayden? Finally,” a familiar voice answered warmly. “You ended the call abruptly. Is there any problem?”Jayden's stoma

The crack of the gunshot shattered the morning before Jayden even understood what the sound was as glass exploded behind him.A sharp hand slammed into his chest. “Down!”The world tilted violently as Drake dragged him to the floor, Jayden's shoulder hitting marble as breath knocked out of his lungs.Drake's body covered his instinctively, one arm braced over Jayden's head as another shot rang somewhere outside.Silence followed heavy and ringing.Jayden blinked as his ears buzzed, Drake's familiar cologne scent mixed with blood and shattered glasses lingering in his nose.Drake didn't move as his weight pressed solidly over Jayden, shielding him completely.“Stay down,” Drake whispered, voice low but tight.Jayden opened his mouth. “I…..”“Don’t.” Drake’s hand slid over Jayden’s side, quick and searching. “Are you hit?”Jayden froze. “You….”Drake’s hands moved again, urgently, patting his ribs, his arms, his waist as his fingers trembled just enough to betray him.“Drake…”“Answer m

The contact between them lasted only a second and yet the air changed instantly.Jayden's eyes widened first, then reality slammed back into him as he shoved Drake hard. “We agreed on boundaries.” he said, his voice coming out sharper than he intended.Drake fell off the bed with a loud thud, more from surprise than force and stood up instantly as if to steady the moment itself.Jayden stood stiffly across him, wiping his lips with the back of his hand, his breathing uneven but his gaze refused to settle anywhere near Drake's face.Silence stretched between them.For a fraction of a second, something raw flickered across Drake's expression, confusion and then hurt but disappeared so quickly if almost felt imagined.Drake let out a short laugh that felt wrong. “Relax,” he said, running a hand through his hair. *You're acting like I planned it.”Jayden said nothing, as his fingers still wiped his lips.The distance between them suddenly feeling too enormous.Drake cleared his throat an
