I dropped the last ledger page and backed away from the table like it burned me. "Kade my whole career. My father. Vance. They set it all up."Kade stood up fast. "Evan talk to me. What did you just see?"I pressed my hands to my head. My chest felt too tight. "Page twenty eight. My father paid Vance to feed me the puck in college. Vance my best friend. He got money to make me look like a star. Every big goal in juniors.

The second we pushed through the hotel doors two minutes before curfew I knew we were screwed.Viktor stood dead center in the bright lobby with a full camera crew behind him. Lights blazing. Microphones ready. His smile looked like a shark that had already tasted blood. Well well if it is not our captain and his favorite Russian problem Viktor called out loud enough for the whole lobby to hear. Cutting it close boys. Where have you been?Kade froze beside me. I felt his shoulder tense against mine. We had barely made it back from meeting a contact about Vance and now this.I forced a quick laugh and stepped forward. Hey Viktor. Long night. We got turned around in the city. You know how these streets are. One wrong turn and you are miles from where you need to be.Viktor tilted his head. The camera light hit my face hot and blinding. Turned around. Really? For three hours after practice? Coach said curfew is strict this trip. Fans want t

The second I walked into the Toronto locker room the air felt like it was about to catch fire.Guys were already yelling at each other by the benches. Bags slammed down hard. No one smiled. I had never seen the team this split.What the hell is going on I asked loud enough to cut through the noise.One of the older defensemen pointed straight at Kade. Ask your boy there. Rumors say we got a mole feeding info to Vance. Someone is selling us out before playoffs.Kade stood up slow his eyes cold. You got proof or you just running your mouth again?Proof is all over the place another winger jumped in. Strange trades. Guys getting pulled from lines for no reason. And you two keep disappearing right before big decisions. Looks bad Evan. Real bad.I stepped between them hands up. Hold on. We are better than this. No one is a mole. Vance is the problem not each other.A young forward laughed sharp. Easy for you to say Captain. Y

The second that broken down stranger pushed his way into our hotel room I felt the floor drop out from under me.Kade slammed the door shut and threw the lock. The guy looked wrecked. Thin face covered in old scars and eyes that had seen too much. He kept rubbing his hands together like he could not get warm. This was the player Vance had destroyed years ago. Everyone called him the ghost now.You two need to listen close and listen good he said breathing fast. Vance is about to burn the whole roster down before playoffs. Anyone who is not fully under his thumb gets erased from the game forever.I stood frozen near the window. Erased how exactly? We have been careful.The ruined player shook his head and dropped into the chair by the desk. Not careful enough. He has a big cleansing planned. A total clear out. Ten or more guys are on his list. If you do not follow every order on the fixing and the bets you are done. Permanently off the ice. Some wi

The cold Montreal wind cut through us as we left the warehouse behind.Kade walked fast ahead of me. Snow crunched under his boots. "Marcus knew too much. Sasha. Vance. Your father. We cannot let this go."I hurried to catch up. "Slow down. We need to think. He could still be working for them. That whole story might be a setup."Kade glanced back. "Maybe. But he looked broken. Like he lost everything. I saw that look before. In the mirror some days."I stayed close. The streets were empty. Only a few cars passed. "What do we do now? Go back to the hotel? Tell the team?"Kade shook his head. "No team. Not yet. This stays between us. Marcus said meet tomorrow. We go. Hear more."I grabbed his sleeve. "This is dangerous. They used your brother name to pull you out here. Next time it might be a bullet not a sign."Kade stopped under a streetlight. Snow fell on his dark hair. "I know the risk. But Sasha deserves answers. I sp

The locker room celebration died fast when Kade grabbed his bag and slipped out the back door.I pulled on my coat and followed him into the snowy Montreal night. "Kade wait. Where are you going? The guys want to celebrate the win."Kade kept walking fast. Snow fell thick around us. "That guy with the sign. I saw him leave during the third period. I need to find him."I caught up and grabbed his arm. "Are you crazy? It is a trap. The syndicate wants you alone. You cannot just chase him."Kade shook me off but slowed a little. "I have to Evan. Sasha. That name. He knew it. No one else does. I need answers."I stayed right beside him. Snow crunched under our boots. The streets glowed under streetlights. "Answers will not come from following some guy into a dark alley. This feels like an execution setup."Kade glanced at me. "Maybe. But I cannot sit and wait. They used my dead brother against me. In front of thousands. I track him.

The penalty box felt like a cage and then I saw the sign.I sat next to Kade after the refs tossed us in for fighting. My jaw still throbbed from that dirty hit. The crowd noise pressed in from all sides. Kade stared straight ahead breathing hard."You okay?" I asked. "That fight came out of nowhere."Kade wiped blood from his lip. "I am fine. He had it coming. No one touches you like that."I glanced at the clock. Four minutes left in the box. "Still. You did not have to jump in so fast. We were up two nothing."Kade turned to me. "Yes I did. They were gunning for you all night. I saw the elbow. I could not just watch."I nodded. "Thanks. Really. The guys are talking about it already. You protected the captain."Kade smirked a little. "Someone has to. You play like you want to die out there. Two goals and a beating. Impressive."I laughed short. "Felt good to score. But my body is paying for it. How is your han
