I stood over the table, eyes on the latest intercepts. Communications. Codes. Pieces coming together slowly. The pattern started to emerge."Got something," I said finally. My finger traced a line on the map carefully. "This signal. Caruso safe house near the coast. Matteo's there. Move teams now."Charlie nodded without hesitation. "Teams ready in ten minutes. We hit hard?""Hard. Alive. Matteo comes out breathing." I turned to the next report on the table. My mind split between two priorities. Matteo. Lena. The obsession to keep her safe clouded everything else. I pushed a strike on another warehouse even if it pulled men from the main rescue operation. "Double the team on the coast. No risks. Nothing happens to the perimeter."Diego stepped closer to me. "Boss. That pulls men from the north route.

Ignored everything but getting Matteo back.I watched from the side of the room. My hands twisted together nervously. Panic still sat heavy in my chest like a stone. Matteo. Taken because of me.

We move in the dark."Salvatore turned to another without hesitation. "Double the guards on the island. Zero one gets close.

She blamed me. Her eyes full of fear and anger. I felt it completely. The destruction I brought into their lives. It burned like fire.I stormed into the war room. The door slammed behind me hard. Maps. Papers. Chairs scattered everywhere. I swept them off the table without thinking. The wood cracked under my fist. "Find him!" I roared. "Every route. Every contact.
