The hours passed with a monotonous cruelty, punctuated only by the sound of Andre's footsteps and the occasional taunt."I'm going to get out of here," I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible."Oh, I don't think so," Andre said, his voice a sneer in the darkness.I gritted my teeth. "You're going to pay for this, you son of a bitch."He chuckled. "Big words for someone so small," he said, stepping closer."Brian will find me," I said, my voice stronger now.Andre leaned down, his grin twisted. "You keep saying that name like he's your savior. I got news for you, honey. This…Brian, is anything but a savior."The sneer in Andre's voice was like nails on a chalkboard, but I refused to let it get to me. I had to keep my head in the game, had to find a way out of this shithole."Brian will come for me," I repeated.Andre just laughed, a sound that chilled my blood. "You think he's that into you?" He stepped closer, his eyes gleaming with something that was definitely not amusement. "

~CAMI~Time had no meaning. Andre had left me alone for hours, maybe days. I didn't know. But I knew I had to escape.The door to the warehouse slammed open, and a figure stepped in. The light from the setting sun, illuminating a silhouette. The figure stepped into the light, and my heart sank. It wasn't Brian as I’d been praying for. It was another one of Andre's goons, his eyes cold and dead."Boss says it's time for your next round of 'fun'," the goon sneered, his teeth glinting in the flickering light."Fuck you," I spat, my voice a rasp. "You're all going down for this."But the goon just smirked, the light playing off his cruel eyes. "Keep dreaming, sweetheart," he said.As he grabbed my arm, yanking me to my feet, I felt the coils of fear tighten around my chest. But I wouldn't give in.With my arms still bound behind my back, the goon dragged me through the warehouse, his fingers digging into my bruised skin. "Keep it up," he said, his breath hot and rancid. "It makes it more f

Days turned into weeks, and the case grew colder than winter. We chased leads, but they all ended in dead ends, or worse, in the hands of crooked cops who'd rather look the other way."This is bullshit," I growled, slamming my fist into the wall of the precinct. "How the fuck is he still out there?"Cami was out of the hospital, but she wasn't the same. The spark in her eyes had dimmed, and she moved with a cautiousness that wasn't there before."You okay?" I asked her, my voice softer than I meant it to be."Peachy," she said, her voice flat. "Just peachy."The tension between us was thick, a living thing that grew stronger with every passing moment."We need to talk," she said."I'm going to take a leave, Brian. Figure out if this is even what I want anymore."The words hung in the air between us, thick and suffocating. Cami's voice was a whisper, but the weight behind it could have brought down the whole precinct."Cami, don't do this," I pleaded, my heart racing like a jackrabbit i

~CAMI~The neon lights of the city painted my world in shades of despair and hope. Each step away from the precinct felt like a betrayal to the badge I'd sworn to serve, but every beat of my heart sang the sweet tune of vengeance. Andre had left a mark on my soul, a stain so dark it seemed to pulse with malicious intent. And now, I knew the taste of the blood that coursed through his veins was the only thing that could wash it away.I'd seen the shadows in Brian's eyes, the beast that lurked beneath the surface. A creature that would tear a man apart without a second thought, given the right provocation. But as the days stretched into a never-ending chase, the lines between us had blurred. The rules no longer mattered, not when it came to Andre.My hand wrapped around the cool metal of my gun, a silent promise to myself. I'd been a pawn in a game played by monsters, but now, I was ready to become the nightmare they'd never anticipate.The city was my jungle, and I was the predator. The

~BRIAN~The city was a place of shadows and secrets, and I was its furious minotaur. The Whiskey Inn's neon sign buzzed behind me, a silent witness to the pact I'd made with Ace Malloy. His words echoed through the fog in my mind: "The docks. You'll find him there."I gunned the engine of my pickup, the beast roaring to life beneath me. The streets were a blur of lights and asphalt, a canvas of chaos that mirrored my soul.My phone buzzed, Cami's name flashing on the screen. I ignored it, the guilt of our last conversation a distant whisper. She'd left me with a warning, a glimpse of the abyss that threatened to swallow us both. But I was already too far gone, the beast in me demanding justice with a ferocity that could rip a man's heart from his chest without a second thought.The docks loomed ahead, a desolate playground of metal and mist. The saltwater air clung to me like a lover's last embrace, whispering of the battles to come. My hand hovered over the gun in my holster, the weig
