STEPHEN

The wind was quiet that evening. The kind of quiet that made you feel like the world had finally stopped spinning. Maybe just for a moment. Maybe just for us.

I stood beside Winnie, Phoebe, and Ramon as we stared at the small patch of land. The soil was still fresh, the grass barely starting to grow back. No headstone. No flowers. No mourners. Just dirt, silence, and the memory of a man who had haunted every one of our lives in his own way.

Winnie reached out, slipped her hand into mine. I held on tighter than I meant to. Ramon didn’t speak. He just stood there, eyes fixed on the grave like he was watching something finally disappear. Phoebe was close to him, brushing his arm with her fingers every so often, like she needed to make sure he was still real.

I looked at the unmarked grave.

"He’s really gone," I said softly.

Ramon nodded. "He is. And I’m still here."

Phoebe leaned her head against his shoulder. "You made it."

He let out a slow breath. "We all did."

    PHOEBEI dropped to my knees beside Ramon, my hands trembling as they pressed over the wound in his side."Ramon. No, no, no... Stay with me. Please."His blood was everywhere. On my hands. My jeans. The ground. It soaked through my fingers, warm and terrifying.He groaned, his eyes flickering open, barely conscious."Phoebe…" he whispered, a faint smile trying to form.I shook my head, choking back a sob. "Don’t talk. Save your strength. You’re going to be okay. Help is coming."From the corner of my eye, I saw Richard move.At first, I thought it was just a twitch. Maybe a death spasm, just nerves firing off one last time. But then I caught it again, his hand. Slowly dragging toward his coat.My heart stopped.That bastard, he wasn’t done.“Ramon,” I breathed, pressing my hand harder against his bleeding side, but my eyes stayed on Richard. “He’s not…. he’s not dead.”Ramon groaned softly beneath me, his blood soaking through my pants, my hands, my soul. “Phoebe… go…”“No. I’m not l

    RICHARDI sat in the dark room, my fingers wrapped tightly around the hilt of the knife I kept on the table beside me. The cold air bit at my skin, but I didn’t feel it. All I felt was bitterness. That deep, festering kind that clung to your soul like rot.Footsteps echoed from the hallway.So, he came.I didn’t move.The door creaked open slowly, and there he was. Ramon. The boy who used to follow me around like a shadow. The boy whose mother I loved more than life itself. And now? A man. But a weak one. A traitor."So you came," I said flatly.He stepped in, jaw tight. "I want answers."I laughed, low and sharp. "You want answers now? After everything? After you ran off with that girl like some puppy?""Her name is Phoebe. And this isn’t about her. This is about Mom."My blood boiled. I stood slowly, my joints aching with every movement. "Don’t talk to me about your mother. You don’t get to pretend you care. Not when you’re sleeping with the enemy.""She’s not the enemy.""She is!"

    PHOEBEI stood by the hallway, just out of sight, my back pressed against the cold wall as I listened to the sharp click of metal. Ramon was in the room, loading his gun. I could hear every movement, every shift in weight, every breath he took. My heart pounded so hard I thought it might echo down the corridor. I didn’t want to interrupt him. I didn’t want to distract him. But I couldn’t stay quiet anymore."You don’t have to do this," I said, my voice soft and shaking.He didn’t turn around. He didn’t even pause. “I do.”“Ramon…” I took a step forward.He finally looked over his shoulder. His eyes were dark, cold, and determined. “Phoebe, please. Not now.”There was something final in his voice. Like he’d already said goodbye in his mind.I swallowed, my throat dry. “Why won’t you let me come with you?”He sighed through his nose. “Because it’s not your fight.”I hated that answer. It didn’t matter whose fight it was. He mattered. His life mattered. If anything happened to him, it wo

    RAMONWe left the hospital just after midnight.Phoebe didn’t say much on the drive. She kept staring out the window, arms crossed tight against her chest. I could feel her tension, like a string pulled so tight it might snap at any second. My hands gripped the steering wheel like it was the only thing keeping me grounded.“She’s going to be okay,” I finally said.Phoebe looked over. Her eyes were tired, red-rimmed. “I know. I just... can’t stop thinking about what almost happened. If Stephen hadn’t gotten that call…”I nodded. “Yeah.”We pulled off the main road and drove toward the edge of town. Trees flanked either side of the narrow path now. No streetlights. No houses. Just the sound of tires crunching gravel.“Are you sure this is the place?” Phoebe asked quietly.“Stephen tracked it,” I said. “Remote surveillance pinged Richard’s last known signal here. It’s the best lead we’ve got.”We reached the old building, a small, abandoned warehouse sitting in the woods like a forgotten

    STEPHEN We moved fast.I grabbed Winnie’s hand as we ran through the hospital corridor. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, and my heart pounded louder than my footsteps.“Stephen,” she said, breathless. “Where do we go?”“Room 207,” I said. “We need to get there first. Lock it down.”She nodded. “I’m with you.”We reached the elevator. Too slow. I turned, yanked open the stairwell door, and we took the stairs two at a time.“I can’t believe this is real,” Winnie said, her voice shaking.I glanced at her. “It’s real. And if we don’t stop them, Teresa dies.”We reached the second floor, sprinted out into the hallway. The hospital was eerily quiet. I could hear the squeak of a janitor’s mop somewhere in the distance, but everything else felt... frozen.I turned the corner.Room 207.I pushed the door open, and there she was, Teresa. Still unconscious. IV drip beside her, bandages wrapped around her shoulder and midsection. Machines beeped steadily.“She doesn’t even know someone
