We made it two miles before the motorcycles found us.

Not Elena's people. Different. Louder. Cruder.

Twelve bikes. Heavy cruisers. Engines roaring like beasts. They circled us on the empty highway like wolves surrounding prey.

The lead rider dismounted. Leather jacket covered in patches. Cascade MC. A skull with chains for teeth.

"Flora Ashford." Not a question. A statement. "You are a hard woman to find."

"Who are you?"

"Name is Garrett. President of the Cascade Motorcycle Club. And you—" He pointed at me. At Hope clinging to my neck. "You owe us a debt."

"I do not know you—"

"But you knew Richard. And Richard knew us. Real well." Garrett pulled out a folder. Threw it at my feet. "Eighteen months ago, your husband hired us for a job. Transport job. Move product across state lines. Pay was good. Two hundred thousand. We did the work. Delivered on time. And then—" His voice went cold. "Richard decided not to pay. Decided to report us to the feds instead. Got seven of my brothers arrest

    Sarah woke three days later in a federal safe house."Where is she?" Her first words. Panicked. Desperate."Victoria is dead. Buried under the mine." I held her hand. "You are safe now.""No. No no no." Sarah tried to sit up. Winced. Ribs still healing. "You do not understand. Before the chains. Before Victoria caught me. I found something. In her files.""What files?""She kept everything digital. Encrypted. Hidden. But I cracked it. Ten seconds before she grabbed me." Sarah grabbed my arm. Hard. "Flora. Victoria has a sister."The room went cold."That is impossible. Richard was an only child—""Not Richard's sister. Marcus's daughter. From an affair. Born two years before Richard. Given up. Adopted out. Raised in Europe under a different name." Sarah pulled out her phone. Showed me a photo she had recovered.A woman. Mid-forties. Dark hair. Victoria's eyes. Victoria's smile."Her name is Elena Volkov. Russian mother. British citizenship. No criminal record. No connection to the Ash

    Level B-3 smelled like rust and death.I descended the mining shaft stairs alone. Unarmed as Victoria demanded. Every shadow could hide an ambush. Every sound could be my last warning.The shaft opened into a massive cavern. Emergency lights cast everything in sickly yellow.Victoria stood in the center. Impeccable suit. Not a hair out of place. Like she was attending a board meeting instead of a murder.Sarah hung from chains beside her. Unconscious. Bleeding. Alive."You came." Victoria smiled. "I thought perhaps motherhood had made you too cautious. Too protective. Too weak.""Let her go. Your fight is with me.""My fight has always been with you. Sarah is just—incentive. Insurance. Entertainment." She walked around Sarah like examining merchandise. "She is quite brilliant, you know. Took her forty-seven seconds to bypass my first firewall. Ninety-three for the second. Impressive. Almost fast enough.""Almost?""I caught her trying to access my offshore accounts. Trying to find evi

    Sarah hacked into three independent news networks simultaneously."You have five minutes before they trace the signal and shut us down," she said, adjusting the camera. "Make it count."I sat in front of the lens. Damien stood behind me. Hope slept in the corner, finally peaceful after days of terror."Ready?" Sarah asked."No. Do it anyway."The red light blinked on."My name is Flora Ashford. Some of you know me as the widow of Richard Ashford. Others know me as the woman supposedly kidnapped by Damien Cross. Both versions are lies constructed by Victoria Ashford to cover the truth about our family."I held up the documents. Marcus's will. The adoption papers. Everything."I am about to tell you what the Ashford family has hidden for fifty years. What they have killed to protect. What they will kill again to keep buried."Behind me, Damien placed his hand on my shoulder. Solidarity."Damien Cross is not my kidnapper. He is my husband. The father of my child. And yes—he has killed. S

    We ran for three days straight.Through forests. Across rivers. Avoiding roads, cameras, civilization.Hope cried the first night. Silent tears that broke my heart more than screams would have."Mama, why are the police bad now?""They are not bad, sweetheart. They are confused. Someone lied to them about Daddy.""Will they take him away?"I looked at Damien. Carrying our daughter on his back. Face gaunt with exhaustion and something worse. Guilt."No one takes Daddy away. I promise."Promises I might not keep.On the fourth day, we reached Sarah's backup location. An abandoned mining facility in Idaho. Deep underground. Off every grid."This will hold us for maybe a week," she said, setting up equipment. "Then they will find us. Satellites. Thermal imaging. Dogs. They have unlimited resources. We have—" She gestured at our meager supplies. "This.""Then we need to change the game." I spread out maps. News reports. Everything Sarah had pulled from the dark web. "Victoria thinks she ha

    I woke to flames and screaming.The explosion had collapsed half the church. Timber beams pinned my legs. Smoke filled my lungs. Through the ringing in my ears, I heard Hope crying somewhere distant."Hope—" I choked on ash and blood."She's safe." Damien appeared, face blackened with soot. He lifted the beam. "Sarah got her out before the blast. This was secondary charges. Victoria planned for everything.""Where is she—""Gone. Escaped in the chaos." He pulled me up. "We need to move. Now."Outside, the church was a funeral pyre. Arnold lay wounded, leg shattered. Cassidy bandaged his thigh with torn shirt fabric. Sarah held Hope twenty yards away, shielding her eyes from the destruction."She left something." Sarah held up a phone. "Message for you."I took it. Video message. Victoria's face filled the screen."You hesitated, Flora. That tells me everything. You are not a killer. Not really. Which means you are weak. And weakness gets family killed. I gave you a chance. You refused
