Crowned in Carnage Chapter Fifty-six: The Ghost
Marco came back the next morning with files that were thinner than usual. Over the past year, Elena had learned that thin files meant the intelligence was either very new or very uncertain. He laid them out across the study desk while she finished her coffee and tried to shift her mind from being a mother to being a leader dealing with possible security threats.“The asset we missed is different from the others,” Marco said immediately. “This is not someone Tommy recruited, and not someone directly connected to Petrov’s network. It looks like a separate operation running at the same time.”“Separate in what way?” Elena asked, pulling one file closer.“Different handler, different goals, maybe even a completely different sponsoring organization,” Marco said. “Tommy’s information suggests this person was recruited by someone else in Russian intelligence who worked apart from Petrov, possibly even competing with him.”Elena opened the file and saw surveillance photos of a woman in her ea
Crowned in Carnage Chapter Fifty-six: Epilogue
Six months passed before Elena truly understood what they had achieved by removing Petrov in Moscow. During those months, Tommy worked closely with Marco to slowly take apart what remained of the Russian intelligence network in New York. At the same time, Elena watched their organization grow steadier, becoming more stable than it had been at any point since her father’s death.Isabella turned one on a Sunday in late spring. They held a small celebration in the estate gardens with only family and close friends. Most of the cake was really for the adults, since Isabella cared more about smearing frosting everywhere than actually eating it. Elena stood a little apart and watched her daughter, covered in chocolate and laughing at something Damien was doing. A quiet feeling settled inside her chest. It might have been happiness, or maybe just the absence of immediate danger.“She’s beautiful,” her mother said, stepping beside Elena with a glass of champagne. “And you look happy. I wasn’t
Crowned in Carnage Chapter Fifty-four: Waiting
The first three days after Damien left were the hardest for Elena. She had no real news, only short messages saying he had arrived safely in Frankfurt and then in Moscow. He also confirmed that his cover as a business consultant was set up without problems. Marco had warned her that communication during the mission would be very limited for security reasons. She understood why that was necessary, but the silence was still difficult to handle.Elena forced herself to follow her normal routine to control her fear. She spent long hours with Isabella and worked through organizational matters that had built up during weeks of planning the Moscow mission. She met with Maria Contadino to review budget decisions and attended a Commission meeting about territory conflicts. The discussion felt important, yet at the same time it seemed small compared to what was happening in Russia.“You look tired,” Maria said after the meeting, stopping Elena before she could walk away. “Are you sleeping?”“No
Crowned in Carnage Chapter Fifty-three: Deployment
The two weeks before deployment had a strange feeling. Time seemed to move too quickly and too slowly at the same moment. The days went by fast, but each hour felt long, and Elena kept checking her watch because it felt like more time had passed than actually had. She continued her normal routines with Isabella, feeding her, playing with her, and handling the small daily problems that came with caring for a baby. Beneath all of it was the steady awareness that she had approved something that could end in disaster.Every few days Marco brought updates about the team’s preparation. He never shared names because security rules meant she did not need to know who was going. What she did know was that they were experienced, that they had worked in dangerous places before, and that they fully understood the risks.“Everyone can still back out before they board their flights,” Marco told her during one update. “Up to that point, they can walk away without consequences. Once they leave, they a
Crowned in Carnage Chapter Fifty-two: The Moscow Plan
Marco spent an entire week designing the structure of the operation before he felt ready to present it. Even then, he began by saying it was the boldest and most dangerous plan he had created in twenty years of this kind of work. They met in the study after Isabella had fallen asleep. Only Elena, Damien, and Marco were present. The doors were locked, and their phones were left in another room because this was not a discussion that could risk being recorded.“This plan depends on everything working exactly as intended,” Marco said as he spread maps, photographs, and intelligence files across the desk. “If one major thing fails, the entire operation could collapse and people could die.”“I understand,” Elena replied calmly. “Walk us through it.”Marco showed them the first map, a detailed street view of a wealthy and quiet neighborhood in Moscow. It was the type of area where powerful people lived and conducted private meetings away from public attention. “This is the location Petrov us
Crowned in Carnage Chapter Fifty-one: New Beginnings
Three months went by before Elena truly grasped what she had agreed to when she chose to keep Tommy alive and put him to work for them. Three months of careful intelligence sessions, with Marco drawing out information slowly while checking every detail through outside sources. Three months of Tommy sitting in that secure building, giving names, strategies, and weaknesses inside Petrov’s network with the depth that only came from spending twenty years on the inside.The results were clear, even if the process drained everyone involved. They found and removed four more of Petrov’s operatives in New York. They shut down two intelligence operations that had been running quietly for years. Most importantly, they began to understand how Petrov thought. They were no longer only reacting to his moves. They were starting to predict them.Isabella turned six months old on a Tuesday in early spring. It felt impossible and natural at the same time, the strange way time moved when you had a baby.
