The interrogation room had clear glass walls and shiny metal surfaces. It was silent, with an uncomfortable feeling in the air. The smell of cleaning products like bleach mixed with a colder scent: betrayal.

Ava stood rigid, her black coat hanging open, the hem brushing her calves. Her boots echoed softly as she crossed to the table, where Rafael sat uncuffed, but still.

He looked nothing like the man who’d once stood guard beside her father, nor the surrogate uncle Pearl had run to with scraped knees.

“You wanted to see me,” Rafael said quietly, his voice hoarse from silence.

Ava didn’t answer at first.

“I’m going to ask you once. Only once. Did you leak the shipment location?”

His brow furrowed, confusion giving way to alarm.

“What? No.”

“Don’t lie to me, Raf.”

“I wouldn’t. Ava, I didn’t. You know me. I raised Pearl like she was…”

She reached into her coat pocket and slid a tablet across the table. Its screen glowed blue with decrypted data. One file. One timestamp. One betrayal.

  • I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband   130. Takedowns...

    Alex slipped into the quiet roadside diner on the outskirts of town. Fluorescent lights flickered overhead, humming with a tired rhythm.The place smelled of burnt coffee and frying grease. A lone waitress wiped down the counter, and a trucker nursed his third refill in a booth near the back. To the world, it was just another morning. To them, it was a turning point.Ava wore a hoodie and ball cap, her hair tucked back in a low braid. Alex, limping slightly from the warehouse shootout, looked like any other weary traveller. But every movement they made was practised, watchful.They slid into a booth near the corner where the blinds were drawn just enough to block view from the parking lot.“Table three,” Ava murmured under her breath.At the opposite end, a clean-shaven man in his thirties, wearing a brown leather jacket and glasses, nursed a lukewarm cup of tea.He didn’t look up as he spoke.“Harper,” he said flatly. “You’ve got two minutes.”Alex didn’t flinch. He reached into his

    The cabin was quiet, save for the intermittent crackle of the old battery-powered radio on the shelf.Inside, Ava sat on the floor beside the wood stove, her back against the wall, her arm wrapped protectively around Pearl. She hadn’t left her side ever since, her small fingers now clinging to Ava’s shirt like they were afraid to let go. From the radio, the news anchor’s voice echoed hollowly:“The FBI continues its investigation into the mysterious woman known in syndicate circles as ‘The Godmother,’ now confirmed to be Dr. Ava Reed, the former medical director of Reed Memorial Hospital. Federal authorities believe she may be the central figure tying together the Moretti, Calabrian, and La Rosa criminal networks...”Ava turned the dial until the voice faded into static. Pearl’s wide eyes searched her mother’s face.“Why are they saying you’re... bad?” she whispered. “Are you really a criminal?”Ava's throat tightened. She looked down at her daughter, brushing strands of dark hair f

    Gunfire echoed all around like a raging storm. Shells bounced off old beams and concrete walls as Ava ran through the thick smoke, the harsh smell of gunpowder making it hard to breathe.From behind the cage, a Calabrian enforcer stepped into view, raising his weapon slowly, deliberately, aimed not at Ava, but at Pearl.“No!”Ava screamed, launching herself forward with every ounce of strength in her body. She dove through the smoke and gunfire, ignoring the sharp pain slicing through her shoulder from a graze. Her body collided with the gunman just as he fired. The shot missed, burying into a beam as the two of them tumbled hard to the floor.She landed on top of him, disarming him in a violent twist of muscle and rage, then brought her elbow crashing into his temple. He went still.Pearl sobbed inside the cage, reaching through the bars. “Mom… please!”Ava looked up, breathing heavily. The gunfight continued around her, her ears ringing from the noise. Blood dripped from her arm, b

    The video ended, the screen fading to black, but Pearl’s wide, tear-streaked eyes stayed with Ava long after. The cabin fell into silence, broken only by the faint hum of the laptop cooling down.Ava stared at the screen, without moving. Her hand was clenched so tightly around the edge of the desk that her knuckles had gone white.“She’s terrified,” she murmured, mostly to herself.Alex stood just behind her, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His voice was quiet, but firm. “You do realise this is a trap… right?”Ava closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Of course I’m aware. I mean, it’s obvious.”“But we’re going anyway.”“We have no choice,” she snapped, then softened when she saw the guilt written across Alex’s face. “She has Pearl. This isn’t about logic or tactical advantage. It’s about my daughter.”Their eyes locked, his filled with pain and hers with anger. Ava took a sharp breath, then snatched her jacket from the hook by the door.“She chose the meeting spo

    The safehouse outside creaked with each gust of wind, its walls making noises like old bones settling. It had once been one of Rafael’s more obscure bolt holes, and now, it was the only place left for Ava Reed and Alex Ramos to disappear.Ava sat next to Alex on the old sofa, a first aid kit open on the coffee table in front of them. She gently applied antiseptic to the small cut on his upper arm. The silence between them felt tense.Alex winced but didn’t complain. His eyes, rimmed with fatigue and something harder, didn’t leave her face.Ava’s hands were steady in motion but trembling underneath, betrayed only by the slight tremor in the cotton pad she pressed against his skin.She couldn’t stop thinking of the camera. The footage. A single second caught on tape was now unravelling years of control.The radio on the counter buzzed faintly. News anchors danced between words like “anonymous tip,” “possible link to La Rosa,” and “The Godmother”, yet no name had been released. Not yet.

    Dawn was here before any of them knew it. It was almost beautiful, almost, if not for the armoured prison transport rumbling steadily down the empty road.Ava crouched in a thicket just beyond a blind curve, dressed in all black tactical gear that hugged close like second skin. The Kevlar vest pressed tight against her ribs, and her earpiece buzzed softly as Jenna’s voice came through.“Surveillance is dark. Traffic cameras are looped. We're ghosting,” Jenna said, seated miles away in a van with servers and screens glowing like a command centre.Ava exhaled through her nose. “Copy that.”Behind her, the team took their positions: two in a faux maintenance truck, another on a nearby hill with drone control, and their driver, silent, loyal, trusted with one job: get Alex out and gone.The route was a misdirect. The real transfer location had been scrubbed and replaced with false data thanks to Selena’s backchannel in the clerk’s office and Jenna’s digital sleight of hand. They had outma
