"You're late."

Eli stepped into the old warehouse, his heart pounding, his face calm. Adrian stood in the center of the room, arms crossed, eyes sharp.

"I'm not late. You're early."

"I'm always early. It's the only way to stay ahead."

Eli walked past him. He set his laptop on the table. He opened it.

"What do you want?"

"Progress. I want to know what you've found."

    "You might die on this table."Eli looked at Dr. Vasquez. Her face was pale. Her hands were steady. Her eyes were honest."I know.""Your body is weak. The procedure is risky. Your heart might not survive the strain.""I know.""You could bleed out. You could have a stroke. You could slip into a coma and never wake up.""I know.""And you still want to do this?"Eli looked at Cove. Cove was standing by the door. His face was pale. His eyes were red. He looked like he hadn't slept in days."I want to live," Eli said.Dr. Vasquez nodded. She looked at Cove."And you? Do you consent to this?"Cove's voice was barely a whisper. "I don't have a choice.""You always have a choice.""Not this time."

    "Kill him."Eli stared at the man tied to the chair. He was young. Maybe twenty five. Maybe younger. His face was bruised. His eyes were wide with fear."Who is he?""Does it matter?""Yes.""He's a rival. A Bratva operative. He's been feeding information to the five families. He's a traitor.""So you want me to kill him?""I want you to prove your loyalty."Eli's heart was pounding. His hands were shaking. He looked at the man. The man looked back at him. His eyes were pleading."Please," the man whispered. "I have a family. A daughter. She's only three. Please."Eli's stomach turned. He looked at Adrian."I can't.""You can.""I won't.""Then you're not loyal.""I'm not a

You're early.""I'm always early. It's the only way to stay ahead."Eli walked past him. He set his laptop on the table. He opened it."What do you want?""Progress. I want to know what you've found."Eli pulled up the files. Names. Accounts. Safe houses. Everything Adrian had asked for."The five families are scrambling. They're hiding. They're scared. They're making mistakes.""Good. What else?""I found a weakness. In their communication systems. I can shut them down. Completely."Adrian leaned closer. His eyes were gleaming."How?""I can upload a

    "You made a deal with him. Without me."Eli stood in the hospital room, his body still weak, his mind still racing. Cove stood across from him, his face pale, his eyes blazing."I made a deal for us. For our future.""You made a deal with the devil.""I made a deal with my brother.""Same thing."Eli flinched. "That's not fair.""None of this is fair." Cove stepped closer. His voice was ice. "You went behind my back. You agreed to help him. You didn't even ask me.""I didn't have time.""You didn't make time.""You were scared. You would have tried to stop me.""Damn right I would have.""See? That's why I didn't tell you."Cove grabbed his shoulders. His grip was tight. Desperate."You can't d

    "I'm going to do it."Cove stared at Eli. His face went pale. His hands started shaking."What did you just say?""I'm going to accept Adrian's offer. The bone marrow transplant. I'm going to let him save me.""No.""Cove...""No. Absolutely not.""Cove, listen to me.""I'm not listening to this. He's a monster. He's a liar. He's the reason you're dying in the first place.""I know.""Then why?""Because I want to live."Cove stepped closer. His eyes were blazing. His voice was ice."At what cost?""Any cost.""Even if it means trusting him?""I don't trust him. But I trust that he wants something. And as long as he wants something, I have leverage.""That's insane.""It's survival.""It's suicide.""It's a chance. The only chance I have."Cove grabbed his shoulders. His grip was tight. Desperate."You can't do this to me.""I'm not doing it to you. I'm doing it for me.""For us?""Yes. For us. For the future we're trying to build. For everything we've fought for.""There is no future

    Eli collapsed in the middle of the meeting.One moment he was standing at the table, presenting evidence to the authorities. The next moment he was on the floor, his body convulsing, his eyes rolled back, foam spilling from his lips."Eli!"Cove's voice was the last thing he heard before the world went dark.---He woke up in a hospital bed.The lights were bright. The machines beeped. The room smelled like antiseptic and fear.Cove was sitting beside him. His face was pale. His eyes were red. He looked like he hadn't slept in days."How long?" Eli whispered."Three days.""Three days?""You've been unconscious. The doctors didn't know if you would wake up."Eli closed his eyes. "I'm sorry.""Don't apologize.""I scared you.""You didn't scare me. You terrified me.""I'm sorry."Cove took his hand. His grip was tight. Desperate."Don't leave me.""I'm not going anywhere.""You don't know that.""I do.""How?""Because I have too much to live for."Cove's eyes filled with tears. "You h

    The first thing Eli noticed was the taste of blood in his mouth.His head throbbed like someone had taken a sledgehammer to his skull. He tried to move, but thick zip ties bit into his wrists behind his back, and his ankles were bound so tightly his feet had gone numb. A rough cloth blindfold press

    Cove’s grip on Eli’s jaw stayed firm, their faces so close that Eli could feel the other man’s steady breath against his skin. The wall pressed cold and hard into Eli’s back.“You’ve got a mouth on you,” Cove said quietl

    Cove leaned back in his chair, watching Eli with those sharp gray eyes. The breakfast tray sat between them like some twisted peace offering. Eli picked up the fork but didn’t eat. He wasn’t about to play along that easily.“These rules,”
