DAMIEN

The incessant ringing of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts as I groaned and grabbed the annoying thing. I desperately wanted to destroy the phone but seeing who was calling I reigned my temper.

It’s been three hours since my confrontation with Liam and Shawna. I was certain that the sleazebag was sleeping with Shawna when we were still together.

But I didn't know why that mattered and why I felt so hurt. Shawna told me we weren't married again so I had no right to interfere in her life.

I knew she was right but it didn't make me feel better. I just felt like shit which was why I had returned and buried myself in my bar.

My phone rang again and I sighed staring at the time. Suzy would be here soon and she would make a fuss if she saw me like this.

I picked up the call with a scowl on my face, “Hello.”

“Where the hell are you, Damien?” my father’s voice sounded in my ears.

I winced taking the phone away from my ears, “Keep your voice down.”

    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

    STEPHENRamon’s voice on the phone sounded like a punch.“We found Teresa.”My heart skipped. “Where?”“She’s alive. Barely. We’re at Crestwood Hospital. Come now.”He hung up.I stared at my phone for a second, then turned to Winnie.She looked up from the couch, eyes sharp. “That was Ramon?”“She’s alive,” I said. “Teresa’s alive.”Winnie stood immediately, grabbed her coat. “Let’s go.”The hospital smelled like antiseptic and heartbreak.Phoebe was pacing outside Room 207. Her eyes were swollen. Her shirt had dried blood on it.“Is she…?” I asked.“She’s stable,” Phoebe whispered. “But she’s bad, Stephen. She was bleeding. Shaking.”Winnie stepped forward. “Can we see her?”“Doctor said only one at a time.”“Let him go,” Ramon said quietly from the corner. “She knows his voice.”Inside, Teresa looked small.Smaller than I’d ever seen her.She had tubes in her arm. A bandage across her head. Her face was pale, lips cracked. But she was breathing. That was enough.I sat beside her.“

    PHOEBEI woke up gasping. My skin was damp with sweat, my breath shallow and panicked. My hands were clenching the sheets, trembling. The nightmare still lingered in my head, Ramon, bleeding out, calling my name and then going silent."Ramon?" I called out.No answer.I got out of bed fast, my feet barely touching the cold floor as I rushed toward the window. The night was quiet, too quiet.“Ramon?” I called again, louder this time.Then I saw him, standing outside on the balcony. The door was slightly open, the curtain swaying gently in the breeze. He stood there shirtless, his back to me, arms resting on the railing. The moonlight kissed his skin. He looked deep in thought.I walked to the door and pushed it open wider. The air was cooler out there. Still. Quiet.“Ramon…” My voice cracked.He turned, startled. “Phoebe?”I stood in the doorway, hugging my arms around myself. “I thought you were gone.”He frowned and stepped toward me. “Gone? What do you mean?”I didn’t know how to sa
