CD The tracking device rested in Gabriel’s palm.For several seconds, nobody spoke.The only sound was the steady hum of the boat’s engine and the water breaking against its hull.Elena stared at the tiny device.“How long has that been there?”Gabriel turned it over carefully.“I don’t know.”Victor gave a humorless laugh.“Long enough.”Adrian’s gaze hardened.“Then whoever planted it knew about the escape route.”Damien looked toward the dark water ahead.“Which means they knew about the warehouse.”“And the tunnel,” Gabriel added.“And the boat,” Elena whispered.A terrible realization settled over them.This wasn’t a random attack.Someone had been watching them from the beginning.Adrian looked at Victor.“You said someone on this boat is working for them.”Victor nodded.“Yes.”“Then stop wasting time.”Adrian stepped closer.“Tell us who.”Victor’s eyes moved around the boat again.His expression became unreadable.“I don’t know their name.”Damien frowned.“Then what do you k

Adrian’s fingers closed around the flash drive.For one second, relief crossed his face.Then Victor’s hand clamped around his wrist.“Give it to me.”Adrian pulled back.“Never.”The concrete beneath them cracked.Victor’s eyes widened.The section of dock they stood on suddenly collapsed.Both men dropped.“Adrian!” Elena screamed.Adrian grabbed the edge with one hand, the flash drive still trapped in his other.Victor fell farther, catching a broken metal beam.The rushing water roared beneath them.“Take my hand!” Elena cried.Adrian looked up.She was standing at the edge, reaching desperately toward him.He stretched his free hand.Their fingers touched.For one terrifying moment, she couldn’t hold him.Then Adrian gripped her wrist.“I’ve got you.”“No,” Elena cried. “I’ve got you.”She pulled with everything she had.Behind her, Damien and Gabriel rushed forward.“Together!” Damien shouted.All three grabbed Elena and pulled.Adrian’s body slowly rose above the edge.Victor w

The gunshot shattered the silence.For one terrifying heartbeat, no one moved.Then Elena heard someone cry out.It wasn’t Victor.It wasn’t Adrian.It was Gabriel.He staggered backward, one hand pressed tightly against his shoulder as blood seeped rapidly through his shirt.“Gabriel!” Elena screamed.Adrian caught Gabriel before he hit the ground.“I’m fine,” Gabriel gritted out.“It missed anything important.”Victor laughed.“You’ve always been willing to bleed for your friends.”Gabriel forced a weak smile.“Better me than them.”The tunnel trembled again.Another section of concrete broke away from the ceiling, crashing into the rushing water below.Damien burst through a newly opened maintenance passage with two security officers behind him.His eyes immediately found Gabriel.“Status?”“Still breathing,” Gabriel answered through clenched teeth.Damien gave a single nod.“Good.”Then he turned his attention to Victor.“It’s over.”Victor smiled.“No.”He slowly removed the flas

Victor stepped farther into the underground chamber, his polished shoes echoing against the damp concrete floor. Behind him, armed men spread out in a semicircle, cutting off every route to the waiting speedboat.The engine continued to idle softly.Freedom was only a few steps away.Yet it had never felt farther.Victor smiled as his gaze settled on Adrian.“You’ve always had terrible timing.”Adrian instinctively moved in front of Elena.“If you’re here for me, let everyone else leave.”Victor laughed quietly.“You still believe you’re the one making bargains.”Gabriel tightened his grip on his weapon.“Take one more step, Victor.”“I wouldn’t.”Victor’s eyes never left Adrian.“I know exactly how many bullets are pointed at me.”The underground dock fell silent.Water lapped gently against the concrete edge while droplets fell steadily from the ceiling.Elena could hear nothing except her own breathing.Victor slowly reached into his coat.Gabriel immediately raised his gun.“Don’t

The first explosion shook the warehouse before anyone could react.A deafening blast erupted near the eastern wall, sending chunks of concrete and twisted metal crashing to the floor. Thick smoke swallowed the building, reducing visibility to only a few feet.Victor lowered his rifle.“What have you done?” he barked.Damien smiled for the first time that night.“I don’t lose twice.”Another explosion echoed through the warehouse.The overhead lights flickered wildly before half the building plunged into darkness.“Move!” Gabriel shouted.He grabbed Elena’s hand while Adrian, still weak from captivity, struggled to keep pace beside them.The guards fired blindly into the smoke.Bullets struck steel containers, throwing bright sparks into the air.Damien remained behind, returning fire with calm precision.He wasn’t trying to win.He was buying them time.“Go!” he yelled.“We’re not leaving you!” Adrian shouted back.“You don’t have a choice!”A steel beam crashed between them, cutting

The warehouse fell into a suffocating silence.Victor’s pistol remained aimed at Elena, unwavering in his steady hand. Around them, armed guards stood like statues, their fingers resting near their triggers as rain hammered relentlessly against the rusted roof.No one moved.No one dared to breathe.Adrian’s wrists strained against the ropes binding him to the chair.“Victor,” he said through clenched teeth, “this has never been about Elena.”Victor tilted his head slightly.“Hasn’t it?”“You know she has nothing to do with this.”“She does now.”His answer was calm, almost casual, but it sent a chill through the warehouse.Elena stood her ground.She could feel her heartbeat pounding in her ears, yet she refused to step back.“If you’re looking for someone to blame,” she said, “blame me.”Adrian’s head snapped toward her.“No!”Victor chuckled.“Interesting.”He lowered the pistol just enough to study them both.“Even now, you’re still trying to protect each other.”He sighed dramati
