MasukAndrian squeezed harder."Andrian, stop!" Fidelia's voice cut through the haze. "You're going to kill him!""Good!""Andrian!" Brian grabbed his shoulder, trying to pull him off. "We need him alive!"But Andrian didn't stop. His hands tightened, and Mace's eyes began to roll back but he gave him a punch down to his stomach and pushed him to the ground.Then-"FREEZE! FBI!""Right on time. They don't disappoint me" Zayn took a puff of his cigarette and drank the last liquid in his beer bottle . The loud voice echoed through the room loudly followed by loud footsteps.Andrian's head snapped up.A dozen federal agents poured into the room from every entrance, weapons drawn, red laser sights painting the walls.At the front was a man in a dark suit with a thick face. He held up a badge and showed everyone inside."Special Agent Carter, FBI. Step away from the suspect. Now."Andrian didn't move. His hands were still around Mace's throat."Andrian! " Agent Carter said again, his voice shar
The tracker led them to the district on the east side of the city.Kira killed the headlights and switched of the engine of the car as they approached, letting the car coast to a stop two blocks away from the location."We are here they are in that building," Fidelia said quietly, pointing to a three-story warehouse with broken windows and faded paint peeling off the walls. "The signal's coming from inside."Andrian checked his gun as he steped out of the car. "Lets go?"Two more cars arrives. Those were the backup they had called earlier. Brian moves towards then and gives out the order to have the building surrounded and to have all exit at the rear and back blocked to prevent an escape. The team immediately and silent moves into position.Brian then three more follows him back to join his friends . "All right. We go in quiet. Kira, me and Andrian we go through front entrance Fidelia, you-""I'm not sitting in the car I'm following you guys in"Andrian turned to her. "Fidelia-Stay
"Bring over the medical kit and patch him up before it gets worse," Andrian said sharply, gesturing to the wounded cop. Two nurses who'd escaped injury immediately rushed over with supplies.Brian ran a hand through his hair, his face twisted with frustration. "Shit! I should've known it was a trap."Andrian went completely still, his jaw clenched, and the silence that followed was terrifying. Fidelia watched as the veins in his neck began to surface, pulsing with barely restrained fury.Mace was playing them. And Andrian hated being played.Kira glanced between them nervously, sensing the storm brewing inside him."Kira," Andrian said finally, his voice dangerously calm. "Call for backup. Get more units here. Now."She nodded quickly and pulled out her phone, stepping away to make the call.Brian opened his mouth to say something-maybe an apology, maybe a defense-but one look at Andrian's face made him think better of it. He turned away, barking orders at the remaining officers inste
Just at that a voice sounded from the walkie talkie “Brian, what's going on there, why haven't you arrested Zayn and brought him in?” The voice was from Brian's boss. “I guess our times up Andrain. Don't worry he will spill everything out now” Andrian nodded and brought down his gun. “Yeah, he will” He said and it sounded like a huge warning to Zayn, No it really was a warning and Zayn knew it He exhaled deeply in relief and fell on the ground. It was finally over. But not entirely over. Mace was still out there. The person Mace was working with and the woman who had given the orders to kill his grandmother was out there too. Brian and Andrian walked back to the car and Brian made a hand signal for them to bring Zayn in. The cops rushed and put a handcuff on him. “How did you think I did with that voice threat? You think I might have frightened him too much?” Brian asked. “Yeah you definitely did. You frightened him more than me holding a gun to his head” “Yeah I thought.
"Leo, log her back in on the server," Brian said firmly. There was a pause on the comms, then Leo's voice came through, smug and confident. "There's no need. I have access now. I can direct you guys to where they are. In fact, I'm sending their exact location now." Fidelia didn't care about it again. She could hear the arrogance dripping from his voice, the need to prove he was just as capable. She said nothing, just quietly dropped the tablet onto her lap and pulled out her phone instead. If Leo wanted to play hero, fine. But she wasn't going to sit idle. Although she was coming back for him. --- Meanwhile - Abandoned Parking Lot, 3 Miles from Warehouse The black car stayed in the shadows of a building, it light were off to avoid any attraction. Zayn looked around the area making sure it was safe then after confirming he approached first, his movements quick and vigilant, constantly checking over his shoulder. While Victor followed more slowly behind him his face grim and ex
The command center erupted into controlled chaos. Brian barked orders while people scrambled to their stations. "Tactical team, gear up now! I want three units ready to roll in five minutes!" Andrian was already moving toward the armory, Kira right behind him. Fidelia followed, her heart pounding as they entered a room lined with weapons, tactical vests, and communication equipment. "Here." Kira tossed a lightweight bulletproof vest to Fidelia. "Put this on." "I thought I was staying in the command vehicle," Fidelia said, catching it awkwardly with her bandaged hands. "You are." Andrian was strapping on his own vest, checking the magazine of his gun with practiced efficiency. "But you're still wearing protection. Non-negotiable." Fidelia didn't argue. She pulled the vest over her head, wincing as the weight settled on her shoulders. Around them, other agents were gearing up with the same quiet intensity-checking weapons, testing comms, moving with the kind of coordination that on
