"And you’ve known this the whole time?"

"I’ve suspected," I corrected her. "But I didn’t have proof. Not until now."

She stood up abruptly, pacing the small room.

"So what? We just go after this official? How do we even know who to trust? We can’t take on the entire government."

I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees.

"We don’t have to take on everyone. Just the right people. I have contacts, people who can help us. But we have to be smart about this. One wrong move, and we’ll both be dead."

She stopped pacing and turned to face me, her arms crossed tightly over her chest.

"What about the bombings? What about the people who died today? They deserve justice."

"They’ll get it," I said, my voice firm. "But if we rush into this, we’ll end up just like them—dead, and forgotten."

She didn’t say anything for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she studied me.

I knew she was trying to decide if she could trust me, if I was worth following into whatever mess this was going to become.

    The danger, the fear, the uncertainty of everything—it all faded into the background, leaving only the heat that had been building between us since the beginning."I don’t like waiting," she whispered, her voice softer now.I leaned closer, my voice barely above a murmur."Neither do I."For a second, everything hung in the balance.The distance between us vanished, and before I could stop myself, I was pulling her closer, my lips finding hers in a kiss that was as desperate as it was inevitable.She kissed me back, fierce and hungry, her hands gripping my shirt as if she needed something—anything—to hold onto.The fire that had been simmering between us exploded, and in that moment, the rest of the world didn’t matter.Not the city, not the danger, not the enemies circling closer.It was just us, and the raw, undeniable connection we couldn’t ignore.29AQSAHis kiss was everything I’d been trying to suppress, everything I didn’t want to admit I needed.Kareem’s hands gripped my wais

    "We don’t have a choice," Kareem said, his voice calm but firm. "If we move now, we’re dead."I stopped, turning to face him."So what? We just hide here forever? You said it yourself, this is bigger than we thought. It’s not going to end unless we make it end."He didn’t respond right away, and for a moment, I saw the weariness in him.The cracks in his armor.But then he stood, crossing the room until he was standing right in front of me."We’ll figure this out," he said softly, his eyes locking onto mine. "I promise you."His closeness was overwhelming, the tension between us unbearable.I wanted to trust him.I wanted to believe that he had all the answers.But the truth was, we were both in way over our heads.And I wasn’t sure either of us would make it out alive.28KAREEMThe hours dragged on as we waited in the safehouse, the silence only broken by the occasional crackle of the radio or the distant sounds of the city’s unrest.Martial law had locked down everything.We couldn

    I watched her face closely as a voice came through the static, rough and garbled."...city under lockdown… martial law... all units, report to secure zones immediately. Civilian curfew in effect."My heart sank.Martial law.Whoever was behind the attacks had succeeded in throwing the city into complete chaos.This was bigger than I’d feared.Aqsa’s eyes met mine, and I could see the same realization dawning on her."Martial law? They’re shutting everything down.""Means we’re running out of places to hide," I said grimly. "They’ll be looking for us everywhere."She swallowed, her face pale."Then what do we do? How do we get out of the city if they’re locking it down?"I thought for a moment, the pain in my shoulder a dull roar in the background."We don’t. We lay low at the safehouse. Let this blow over."Aqsa frowned, her voice low and anxious."And what if it doesn’t blow over? What if this is just the beginning?"I didn’t have an answer.I could only hope that whoever was pulling

    This wasn’t just about the shipment or the men at the docks.Something much larger was in play, and we were just beginning to scratch the surface.As we sailed into the night, the water dark and endless around us, I knew one thing for certain: we weren’t safe yet.Not by a long shot.25AQSAThe speedboat cut through the waves, the engine humming steadily beneath us.I kept my hands tight on the wheel, my mind racing with everything that had just happened.The cold air stung my face, but the adrenaline pumping through me was hotter than fire.Kareem sat beside me, clutching his wounded shoulder, the tension between us as thick as the night.We had escaped.Barely.But the feeling of relief was fleeting.I knew, deep down, that this wasn’t the end."How’s the shoulder?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Kareem shifted, wincing as he pressed a hand to the bloodied fabric of his shirt."I’ve had worse," he muttered, but his face was pale, and the strain in his voice was unmistakab

    One of the men.His gun was already raised.Time slowed.My body moved on instinct, diving to the side just as the gun fired, the bullet whizzing past my ear.I hit the ground hard, the impact knocking the air from my lungs, but I scrambled to my feet, my hand reaching for my gun.I didn’t think.I just fired.The shot rang out, echoing in the night, and the man fell, his body crumpling to the ground.For a second, I stood there, frozen, my gun still raised.The realization of what I had just done hit me like a punch to the gut.I’d killed someone.But I couldn’t afford to think about it now.I forced myself to move, sprinting toward the boat as fast as my legs would carry me.23KAREEMGunfire echoed behind me as I led the remaining men in circles, my body moving on pure instinct.Every breath burned in my chest, but I didn’t stop.I couldn’t.I had to give Aqsa time.The fight was wearing me down.My legs felt like lead, and the clip in my rifle was nearly empty.I had no illusions—

    "Weapons? How many?""Too many," Kareem said grimly. "We need to call this in. Now."But before we could move, more gunfire erupted from behind us.The men weren’t letting up, and we were running out of options.Kareem grabbed my arm, pulling me down into cover."We’re not going to make it out of here unless we take them all down."I swallowed hard, the weight of his words sinking in.We were outnumbered, but he was right.There was no running, no backup.It was just us.And we had to survive."We fight," I said, meeting his eyes. "No more running."Kareem gave a sharp nod."Let’s end this."And with that, we charged back into the fray.22AQSAThe night was closing in fast.Every time I pulled the trigger, the recoil jolted through my arm, making me grit my teeth to hold steady.The men we were fighting seemed to multiply—every time we took one down, two more emerged from the shadows.It was endless, and we were running on fumes.Kareem was beside me, his movements fluid and calculat
