2026-08-07 07:00:49Evan’s suspension ended the morning of the Philadelphia game and the arena already felt ready to explode.
Fans lined up outside Scotiabank Arena hours before the doors opened. Blue and white jerseys filled the sidewalks. When the gates finally let people in the seats filled fast. Music pounded through the speakers. The crowd noise rose with every passing minute until the whole building seemed to shake.Evan walked into the locker room with his equipment bag on one should

THE CAPTAIN AND THE KILLER chapter 95
The first ray of sunlight cut through the cabin windows and Kade saw them, black shapes against the gray morning water, and he knew their safe haven had just become a trap. He was on his feet before his brain caught up to his body, pulling on his pants and moving to the window. The lake house was surrounded. Black SUVs lined the driveway and the narrow dirt road leading in. Men in dark suits stood at attention beside every vehicle, their hands visible but their intent unmistakable. Evan stirred on the floor, still tangled in the blanket they had pulled down from the couch. "What is it? What is wrong?" "Company." Kade's voice was flat, controlled. "Vance's men. They found us." Evan was up in an instant, pulling on his clothes with the kind of speed that came from years of high pressure situations. He moved to the window beside Kade, looking out at the assembled SUVs. "There are at least fifteen of them," Evan

Kade floored the accelerator and watched the city lights vanish in his rearview mirror, knowing that every second they put between themselves and Viktor was a second they might not have.The car tore through the dark highways, cutting past slower traffic with a reckless abandon that made Evan grip the door handle. The lake house was two hours north, two hours of empty roads and dark forests and the constant fear that headlights might appear behind them at any moment."You are going to get us killed before Viktor even gets the chance," Evan said, but his voice was tight with something that was not quite anger."Relax. I know how to drive.""You drive like you play hockey. Aggressive and with no regard for anyone else."Kade glanced at him, a ghost of a smile playing on his lips. "You say that like it is a bad thing."Evan shook his head but did not argue. The tension in the car was thick enough to cut with a knife. Every shadow on

The final buzzer screamed through the arena and the crowd exploded, but Kade felt his stomach drop because he knew the real battle was just beginning.The shootout had been a nightmare. Five rounds of back and forth, every save and goal pushing the tension higher. Evan had buried the winner with a move so filthy it made the Montreal goalie drop to his knees in defeat. The Blades bench had erupted. Guys were flying over the boards, swarming the ice, screaming with joy.Kade jumped in with the rest of them, slapping helmets and shouting along with the celebration. But his eyes kept darting toward the tunnel. His ears strained for any sound that did not belong. The game was over. The fans were cheering. And somewhere beneath all that noise, Viktor's men were still hunting.Evan found him in the chaos, grabbing his jersey and pulling him close. "We did it. We actually did it.""Hold that thought." Kade kept his voice low, barely audible over the crowd
THE CAPTAIN AND THE KILLER chapter 92
The buzzer for the second period blared through the arena just as Kade's feet hit the concrete tunnel, and he knew in that instant that every second he had bought was already gone.He sprinted toward the bench, skates clicking against the hard floor until he hit the rubber matting near the ice. His lungs burned. His heart hammered so loud he could barely hear the crowd roaring above him. He had made it. Somehow, impossibly, he had made it back before anyone noticed he was gone.Coach Harlan shot him a look as he slid onto the bench, but there was no time for questions. The lines were changing. Guys were jumping over the boards. Kade grabbed his stick and waited for his turn, forcing his breathing to slow, forcing his face to stay neutral.Evan was already on the ice, circling near the red line. He glanced toward the bench once, quick and sharp, and Kade gave him the smallest nod. The signal. The plan was moving forward.But even as Kade settled in
THE CAPTAIN AND THE KILLER chapter 91
The safe sat there mocking Kade with its cold steel silence, and he knew right then that every plan he had built was about to crumble into dust.His fingers traced the edge of the secondary digital override panel, a sleek black rectangle that looked far more advanced than anything he had expected to find. The main lock had been easy enough. Too easy, actually. That should have been his first warning. But this secondary system was different. It required two separate biometric inputs and a rotating passcode that changed every sixty seconds. Without Vance, the panel was just a dead piece of plastic mocking his efforts.Kade stepped back from the safe and ran both hands through his hair, pulling hard enough to hurt. Three months of planning. Three months of getting close to Evan, of playing the long game, of sacrificing pieces of himself he never thought he would give up. And now this. A single panel standing between him and the proof he needed to destroy Alexander Ryd

Evan played like a man trying to stop the clock with his bare hands and every shift made it clearer. The second period was only half over. The score was still tied. The crowd stayed loud. But Evan’s mind was not on the scoreboard. He took the next faceoff and won it clean. Then he held the puck an extra second longer than he needed along the wall. A Philadelphia player closed in. Evan took the hit and stayed down a moment longer than necessary. The referee skated over. “You hurt Ryder?” Evan got up slow. “I am fine. Just need a second.” The official blew the whistle anyway and waved the trainer over. The clock stopped. On the bench the spot beside him stayed empty. Kade had not returned. Coach Harlan shouted down the line. “Ryder. You good?” Evan nodded as he climbed back on the bench. “Good Coach. Just got my wind knocked out.” A teammate leaned in. “You looked like you stayed down on
