Talon

Nothing like a 2 AM church session after a bloody ambush to make a guy feel alive. I stepped into the chapel, taking in the scene. The room was fuller than usual. Guys were packed around the table like sardines, bloody and tired. A haze of cigarette smoke hung low, curling around the overhead light like an omen.

Jake took his seat at the head of the table, slouching back in his chair as I sat down next to him. The room fell into an uncomfortable silence as the weight of the night’s events settled over us. We all knew how grim things were looking now. The docks were supposed to be a clean hit, any easy score. But nothing about it was clean.

“First off,” Jake said finally, his voice low and even, “tonight was a clusterfuck. But we made it out. That’s what matters.”

There were nods around the table, a few

    “Testing… Testing.” Ryan’s voice crackled through my earpiece.I adjusted the device, making sure it was snug. The hum of static filled my ear.“Crystal clear,” I muttered, my voice low enough to avoid drawing attention.The warehouse loomed ahead, its silhouette dark against the night sky, only a few dim lights flickering through the foggy windows.The air was thick with tension, the kind that made my skin crawl and my senses sharpen. Every step felt heavier, the weight of what lay ahead pressing down on me.“You're approaching from the south side,” Ryan continued, her tone steady and professional. “Two guards by the main entrance. Try to get eyes and ears on them without getting too close.”My boots crunched on the gravel as I slipped into the shadows, my movements deliberate and silent.The guards were easy to spot, their bulky frames illuminated by the glow of a streetlamp. They were relaxed, laughing about something, their weapons slung casually over their shoulders. Too casual.

    “At least we’re not on the run anymore.”Laura’s words lingered in the air like smoke as we sat on our bed in the safe house, staring at the suitcase packed with clothes that didn’t feel like ours.Scarlett was napping in the next room, her stuffed dragon clutched tightly to her chest, blissfully unaware of the storm swirling around us.It’d been a week since Detective Ryan’s midnight visit. A week since we’d traded the warm Cuban sun for the sterile anonymity of a suburban safe house somewhere in central Pennsylvania.The walls were beige, the furniture bland, the air so stagnant it felt like we were living in a museum exhibit titled “Normal Family Life.” It was suffocating.I leaned back against the headboard, resting my hand on Laura’s thigh, her

    The seagulls screamed like the world was ending, their shrill cries drowning out the silence that had settled between Talon and me. We sat on the patio, the morning sun already oppressive, sweat clinging to the back of my neck as I sipped lukewarm coffee.Talon’s phone sat on the table between us, dark and lifeless, but its absence of updates felt heavier than any call could.It had been two weeks since Viktor’s last contact, and the waiting was carving hollows in both of us. Talon’s jaw was perpetually tight now, his green eyes always scanning the horizon as if he expected trouble to come crawling out of the sea.He was restless, pacing the villa like a caged animal, while I tried to keep Scarlett’s days filled with enough sunshine and sandcastles to distract her from the tension thickening the air.Suddenly Talon&rsqu

    LauraWe’d been in Cuba for almost two weeks before Talon received any word from home.The call came just after midnight, Viktor's voice cutting through the dark bedroom. I watched Talon's face in the glow of the moonlight, saw the way his jaw tightened with each word. His free hand found mine beneath the sheets, squeezing hard enough to hurt.“When?” he asked, his voice rough with sleep and something darker.I couldn't make out Viktor's response, but Talon's expression told me everything. Whatever news had arrived from home, it wasn't good.My other hand drifted to my belly, a protective gesture that had become second nature these past weeks. The baby rolled beneath my palm, restless.“Yeah… Yeah. I understand.” Talon ended the call and set the phon

    I stood on the edge of the patio, watching Laura rub sunscreen on Scarlett’s arms. The air was heavy and hot, and the sun was beating down on the white sand. Scarlett giggled as Laura tickled her belly, her laughter blending with the crash of the waves.Viktor’s villa was secluded, tucked away from prying eyes and with its own private beach. It was peaceful, in a deceptive kind of way. Beneath the surface, tension coiled tighter with each passing day.Laura looked up, catching my stare. Her blonde hair was loose, falling in waves down her back, and her skin had a deepening tan from the Cuban sun.“You gonna join us, or just stand there looking broody?” she teased, her smile lighting up across her face but tinged with concern. She’d been watching me closely lately, her eyes always searching mine for signs of the storm brewing beneath the surfa

    I leaned my forehead against the cool glass of the patio door. Outside, the first gray light of dawn crept over the trees. I’d been up since 4 AM, wearing a hole in the floor between the living room and the kitchen.I needed to hold off until at least 9 o'clock to call Kat. Waking her up with an early phone call would only piss her off.The coffee in my hands had gone cold hours ago, but I kept sipping it anyway — anything to keep my hands busy, to give my mind something to focus on besides the slow, creeping dread tightening around my ribs.Scarlett was still asleep upstairs with her tiny body curled around her dragon. Laura was zonked, too, her breathing steady and deep, one hand resting protectively over the barely-there swell of her stomach.I should have been in bed beside her, soaking in every second of peace I could get. But
