Vincenzo’s POV

Three civilians dead.

The number sat in my chest like a live coal. I stood in the clinic parking structure with Lenny at my left, the two Irish bodies cooling on the concrete, and the physical therapist already being moved to a safe location under heavy guard. The morning sun felt too bright for the amount of blood the day had already demanded.

Luca waited for orders while Francesca’s voice was steady in the earpiece, feeding real-time updates from th

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The White House

    Lenny’s POVThe sound of my aunt’s old blue sedan carried up the quiet road like a countdown. Four minutes had become two. Vincenzo stood beside me in the lengthening shadows of the trees, blood still drying on his sleeve from the man he had put down near the porch. Luca’s team held the west lot and the tree line. Francesca’s updates continued in our ears— Irish operators across the region were moving, answering the burst transmission that had just painted a target on both of our backs.I watched the driveway and tried to remember how to look like the niece Caroline still believed I was.Vincenzo’s voice was low. “We get her into the vehicle. Minimal explanation. The less she knows, the safer she stays. Once she’s moving under guard, we deal with whatever is coming up that road.”“She’s going to have questions.”“Then we give her the only answers that keep her alive.”The blue sedan turned into the driveway. Caroline stepped out

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Fourth Minutes Againts Two Hours

    Vincenzo’s POVThe math was simple and ugly. Forty minutes until Caroline finished her shopping and drove home to an empty house. Two hours and twenty minutes for us to cover the distance even with clean vehicles, pre-arranged fuel stops, and every traffic light we could own along the route. The Irish team was already closer. They would be waiting when she turned onto her quiet street.I drove the first leg myself. Lenny sat in the passenger seat, body angled toward the road as if she could will the miles to shrink. Her face was pale but set. The same expression she had worn in the Commission chamber and the shipyard and the hallway of her old apartment building. Grief and rage braided into something that would not break.Francesca’s voice came through the secure channel, calm and precise. “Local assets upstate are limited. I have two men who can reach the grocery store in twenty-eight minutes. They can delay her without her knowing—flat tire, spilled cart

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The Vets Door

    Lenny’s POVThe clinic that had saved Shadow sat on a quiet side street lined with trees that were already dropping the first leaves of fall. I stared at the red X on the photograph while Vincenzo drove. The same digital mark they had put on the karaoke bar. The same message: everything soft I had ever touched was fair game in their numbers game. The vet—Dr. Patel… had asked no questions when we carried a bleeding dog through his back door in the middle of the night. He had simply worked. Shadow was alive because of those hands, now the Irish wanted those hands still.Vincenzo’s voice was low and controlled, the way it got when the violence inside him had gone cold and precise. “Francesca has the clinic under quiet watch already. Two of our people are inside posing as pet owners. Luca’s team is ninety seconds behind us. We go in, extract Dr. Patel, and erase whoever they sent.”“And if they’re already inside?”“Then we do it louder.”“Two

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    The First Hallway

    Vincenzo’s POVTwelve minutes… The number burned in my head as the SUV tore north through midday traffic. Luca drove on high speed as I sat in the passenger seat checking the magazine on the rifle across my lap for the third time. Lenny’s voice still echoed in the open channel— steady, determined, already moving with Francesca toward the same target.We arrived the old apartment building, the place where I had first watched her from across the hallway. Where she had glared at me like I was every man who had ever hurt her. Where Shadow had escaped and she had run into traffic without hesitation. The first walls that had ever contained both of our lives at the same time.The Irish were going to turn it into a slaughterhouse to make a point.“Status on Lenny’s team,” I said.Francesca answered immediately. “Six minutes out. We’re coming in from the east. Building has two main entrances, one fire escape on the north side, and a basement servi

  • DEADLY FACADE: I Became His Obsession    Split Blood

    Lenny’s POVThe vehicle carrying me, Francesca, and four of Vincenzo’s men cut through midday traffic like a blade.1:09 p.m.Francesca drove… Her voice was calm, almost conversational, as she coordinated with the outer perimeter already forming around the clinic.“Nurse’s name is Hannah Cole. Thirty-eight, Lives alone. Works three twelve-hour shifts a week at the same clinic that treated your leg. She’s due to clock out at three, but Kerrigan’s people were told to take her when she steps into the staff parking area. We’re not waiting that long, we extract her inside the building and eliminate the team before they can adjust.”I checked both pistols again. The motion had become automatic. “How many in the Irish team?”“Three confirmed on the latest surveillance. One in a gray sedan in the south lot. Two professionals on foot near the staff entrance, they’ll have a fourth as driver support farther out.”“And Vincenzo?”

The morning sun felt too bright for the amount of blood the day had already demanded.Luca waited for orders while Francesca’s voice was steady in the earpiece, feeding real-time updates from the expanding civilian net. Every soft target we could identify now had shadows. It was no longer enough.“We stop chasing the cards,” I said. “We go at the men holding the deck.”I turned to Luca. “Pull every piece of intelligence we have on Irish mid-level operators still breathing in this city. Safe houses, courier routes, the bars they use to move money, the warehouses they think we don’t know about. I want synchronized hits starting in forty minutes. Make sure there are no s
