By noon, the smell of burnt bacon had finally cleared out of the kitchen, but the heavy, suffocating feeling of being trapped in a gold-plated cage hadn't moved an inch.

Giovanni and Reece had locked themselves back inside the ruined study hours ago. Every now and then, I could hear the muffled, low vibration of Giovanni’s angry voice barking orders through the thick wood, followed by the sound of heavy boots pacing back and forth across the floorboards. The house was supposed to be completely

    The engine of the SUV cut out, leaving the interior in complete darkness. Outside the tinted glass, the North Dock warehouse looked entirely abandoned. The patched iron walls were covered in rust, and the heavy concrete loading bays were cracked and stained with old grease.Reece sat in the passenger seat beside me, checked the magazine of his sidearm, and let the slide snap forward with a clean, metallic click."Assault team is in position at the north and south fire exits," Reece said, his voice dropping to a low whisper as he looked at the tablet on his lap. "The satellite tracker shows the transponder signal is still live. It's coming from the main supervisor's office on the third floor of the structure.""No flashbangs," I ordered, my jaw clenching as the bruising across my swollen nose throbbed in the cold air. "We need the hardware intact. If they see us coming and smash the primary network links, the entire sweep last night was for nothing.""Understood, boss. We move on yo

    The heavy front doors of the mansion hadn't even finished clicking shut before the silence came rolling back in, thicker and heavier than before.Giovanni was gone. The rumble of his SUV engine faded down the long driveway, leaving the house completely still. Theresa was still sitting at the kitchen island, methodically chewing on a fry, but even she had stopped making jokes. The playful, chaotic energy we had forced into the room during breakfast evaporated, leaving nothing but the reality of the armed men patrolling the lawn outside."He's going to be fine, Mia," Theresa said quietly, setting her fork down on the cardboard takeout container. "The guy looks like he survives on a diet of pure granite and bad intentions. A trip to the docks isn't going to break him.""I know," I muttered, leaning my back against the refrigerator and staring down at my bandaged feet. "It’s just... every time he walks out that door, I feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Literally.""Well

    The delivery guy from the steakhouse didn't even make it past the outer steel gates. Reece’s perimeter guards took the food boxes, ran them through a portable chemical scanner to ensure they weren't laced with anything, and brought them up the driveway themselves.I stood by the grand entrance of the house, watching the black security SUVs rumble slowly along the fence line. My face felt tight, the bruising across my nose throbbing with every beat of my pulse."The satellite transponder data just came back," Reece said, stepping up onto the stone porch behind me. He had a fresh jacket on, covering the bandage on his forearm. He held out his phone, showing a map with a blinking red circle. "We ran the logs from the dead hacker’s terminal before Mia drowned it in sugar water.""Where was he sending the data packets?""A defunct cold-storage warehouse right on the edge of the North Dock territory," Reece said, his voice dropping low so it wouldn't carry past the heavy front doors."I

    By noon, the smell of burnt bacon had finally cleared out of the kitchen, but the heavy, suffocating feeling of being trapped in a gold-plated cage hadn't moved an inch.Giovanni and Reece had locked themselves back inside the ruined study hours ago. Every now and then, I could hear the muffled, low vibration of Giovanni’s angry voice barking orders through the thick wood, followed by the sound of heavy boots pacing back and forth across the floorboards. The house was supposed to be completely secure now, but every time a tree branch scraped against the window pane, my chest tightened until it felt like my ribs were going to crack.Theresa was sprawled out across the massive velvet sofa in the main living room, still wearing the oversized gray sweatpants Giovanni had given her. She was tossing a small leather sofa pillow up in the air and catching it, her eyes staring blankly at the high ceiling."If I don’t get some real food into my system in the next twenty minutes, I am going to s

    The coffee in my mug was completely cold, but I kept drinking it anyway just to have something to hold onto.It was five in the morning. The emergency lights in the study had finally been turned off, replaced by the pale, gray light of a New York dawn. The room was still a mess from last night’s sweep, but I didn't care about the torn books or the broken desk drawers anymore.Reece sat on the edge of the leather sofa across from me, a bloody bandage wrapped tightly around his forearm. He looked just as dead as I felt."The perimeter teams ran the plates on those three SUVs at the intersection," Reece said, his voice completely raw. "They didn't belong to the Vance family. And they didn't belong to your father."I set my mug down on the ruined desk with a soft click. "Then who the fuck do they belong to?""A shell company registered out of New Jersey," Reece muttered, rubbing his bloodshot eyes. "But the digital fingerprint on the registration matches the same encrypted accounts Scarle

    The sound of that second gunshot felt like a physical punch to my chest.It was louder than the first one. It rattled the wooden stairs beneath my bare feet and echoed up through the basement doorframe, followed by a sudden, heavy silence that made the entire house feel completely dead."Giovanni?" I whispered, my voice disappearing into the dark corridor.I didn't care about the rules anymore. I didn't care about the red-alert lockdown or the fact that my feet were still tracking wet mud onto the polished floor. I lunged forward to head down the stairs, but Theresa’s fingers clamped around my wrist like a vice, yanking me back."Mia, don't you dare," she hissed, her voice shaking but her grip steady. She was still holding that ridiculous gold cheese knife in front of her chest. "You don't have a weapon. Going down there makes you a target, not help.""He’s down there, Theresa!" I snapped, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. "Two shots. What if he…"Before I could

    What in the actual fuck name is this? My face scrunch up into a very thick scowl as I watch her vomit drip down my fifty thousand dollar suit.“Are you out of your god damned mind?” I grit, my jaw clenching hard as my left eye begins to twitch.This bitch always brings out the worst reaction in me.
