You are next if you come back. I shut it off quick, the voice gone but the weight staying. The team dragged Marco back through the penthouse doors, his hands tied behind his back, his face bruised from the fight. Ruiz and two guys pushed him into the living room like he was nothing.

The elevator doors opened straight into the private medical wing. The doctor and two nurses were already waiting, lights bright, machines humming. Lena was rushed onto the bed fast. Her shoulder bled heavy now, soaking the couch where they had left her.“Get the packing kit!” the doctor yelled. “Bullet’s bad. She needs surgery now!”I ran after them, still shaking. “Doctor, is she gonna be okay? She took two bullets tonight. The first one was bad enough.”The doctor didn’t look up. “Stay out of the way. She’s losing blood fast. Move!”Lena tried to sit up, her face pale. “Eli… I’m fine… don’t you dare come closer. I’m not dying on you.”I grabbed a chair and sat down beside her bed. “You’re not dying. You’re too stubborn. The team saved you

The windows rattled hard. Glass cracked. A loud bang hit the front door. Sirens started outside. The lights in the penthouse flickered once. I stood up fast, my heart slamming in my chest. “That’s not Nikolai. That’s The Ghost’s men. They’re here now.”Cove moved quick, grabbing his gun from the table. “How did they get in? Marco, you said The Ghost was with Nikolai. You lying again?”Marco looked up from the chair, his voice steady but scared. “I’m not lying, Cove. The Ghost is alive. He’s been behind every attack. He’s the one who killed the old contacts. He’s with Nikolai now. He wants you dead, Eli.”Lena grabbed her gun from the table, her shoulder still wrapped tight. “We fight them off. Team, move! Cover the windows!”Ruiz and the other guys from the team ran in from the garage, guns u

The words from Marco hung in the air like smoke after a gunshot. The Ghost is alive. He’s with me now. He’s the one who’s been behind every attack. He’s the one who killed the old contacts. He wants you dead, Eli. He’s the one who sent the message about the fire. I sat on the couch, my hands tight around the edge, the words looping in my head. Marco had just dropped the biggest bomb yet.Cove stood across the room, arms crossed tight, his face red. “The Ghost? Still alive? And working with you? After everything Marco did? You’re lying again. We should cut him loose right now.”Marco looked up at him, his voice steady but tired. “I’m not lying, Cove. The Ghost is real. He’s been feeding me info for years. He killed the old contacts. He wants the city destroyed. But I never stopped helping you, Eli. I swear it.”Lena stepped between them quick, her voi

Lena walked behind them, her shoulder still wrapped, eyes hard.Cove stood in the middle of the room, arms crossed tight, staring at Marco like he was dirt. “This is the traitor. The one who’s been feeding Nikolai everything. We should just let him rot.”I sat down on the couch, my legs still a little shaky from the warehouse, and looked straight at Marco. “No. He’s alive. We got him back. We can talk to him. Maybe he knows something that can help us. Ma

Confrontation in the WarehouseNikolai stood there in the center room, his tall frame filling the space, a new plan already in his hands. The team froze, guns still half-raised, the air thick with the smell of metal and old wood. I stared at him, the small black chip burning under my skin like it was waking up. Marco sat tied to the chair in the middle, his eyes locked on me for half a second before he looked away.Cove moved first, stepping between me and Nikolai, his gun up and steady. “Don’t move. You got us now. What’s the new plan?”Nikolai laughed low, calm like he’d been waiting all night. “The hacker. Eli. You came anyway. That’s cute. Marco was right about you. He’s been feeding me everything since the fire. Since he killed your family. Since he put that chip in your skin. You’ve been his little puppet the whole time.”Marco tried to talk quick, his voice rough but clear. “Eli, listen. I’m alive. I’ve been working with Nikolai because he promised me the city. He can give me e

The Trip to the Bratva Safe HouseThe minutes ticked by in the penthouse like they were stretching forever. The laptop screen still glowed with the chip file, the words Marco’s been tracking me the whole time burning bright. Lena stood up from the table, her jacket already on, face set like she meant business. “Cars are ready. Midnight hit. Side door open. Nikolai’s in the center room. Marco’s tied but he can move if we cut the ropes.”Cove stayed close to me, his hand on my back, voice low. “You did good tonight. You tracked the auction hall. You’re strong. But you promise you’ll stay behind me. No hero moves.”“I promise,” I said, my voice steady even though the chip sat there, burning in my mind. “We go. We get Marco out. That’s it.”Ruiz walked in from the garage, three more guys behind him, boots quiet on the floor. “Team’s loaded. Three cars. I’ve got the front. Lena, you take the left. Boss, rear. Eli, your drone feed’s still live?”I nodded, opening the laptop one last time. “
