Nickey collapsed to his knees. The video of James slumping forward replayed in his mind. Dead. His twin was dead."You bastard," he whispered.Victor leaned back against the desk. "I gave you simple instructions. Kill Raines. You chose deception instead. Actions have consequences."Trina grabbed Nickey's shoulder. "We need to leave. Now."Victor's men blocked the door. Guns raised. No escape."You're not going anywhere," Victor said. "You owe me four million dollars. And now you've killed your brother through your stupidity. So I'm adding emotional damages. Call it six million total.""I don't have six million.""Then you work it off. Both of you. Years of loyal service. Deliveries. Collections. Whatever I need. You're mine now."Nickey's hand moved toward his hidden gun. Victor noticed immediately."Don't. My men will kill you both before you clear leather. And then I'll hunt down everyone you've ever cared about. Friends. Neighbors. That baby will grow up in one of my brothels."Tri

Nickey raised his hands slowly. James did the same. Sarah kept her gun lowered but visible.Davis stepped forward. His face was cold. Empty."I trusted you," Nickey said."I was keeping you alive until Marcus didn't need you anymore." Davis gestured with his gun. "Sarah. Drop your weapon.""No.""I have twelve men. You have one gun.""I have this." Sarah pulled out a small device. Red button on top. "Dead man switch. Connected to explosives in Marcus's primary residence. Where his wife and grandchildren sleep."Davis's face went pale. "You're bluffing.""Try me. Tell your men to lower their weapons. Or I press this and Marcus loses everything."Then a new voice. "Everybody freeze. FBI."Angela Martinez stepped forward. Badge held high. Fifteen agents behind her."I have a warrant for your arrest, Davis. Corruption. Conspiracy." Angela looked at Nickey. "You too. For Detective Raines's death.""I didn't kill Raines.""Your gun. Your fingerprints. Come quietly."Sarah laughed. "You're al

The explosion threw Nickey backward. Glass shattered. Smoke filled the air. His ears rang.He rolled onto his stomach. Coughed. Tasted blood."Sarah!" He couldn't see her through the smoke.Bodies everywhere. Some moving. Some still. FBI agents scrambling. Screaming.A hand grabbed his shoulder. Sarah. Face covered in ash. Blood running from her temple."Move. Now."They crawled toward the exit. The ceiling groaned. Chunks of concrete crashed down.Outside, sirens wailed. Fire trucks. Ambulances. More chaos.Sarah pulled him behind a parked car. "Marcus. He had a backup plan.""He's in custody.""His people aren't." She pointed. Across the street. A man holding a phone. Watching. He saw them looking. Ran.Nickey stood. "That's him. The trigger man.""Let him go. We have bigger problems." Sarah checked her phone. Cracked screen but working. "Trina's hospital. It's been evacuated. Bomb threat.""Where is she?""I don't know. Communications are down."A black SUV screeched to a stop besi

The explosion flipped the lead SUV. It rolled three times before slamming into a parked car. Fire bloomed orange against the dark street.Sarah didn't slow down. She took another hard turn. Tires screaming."Where did you get a grenade?" Trina demanded. She held Hope tight, shielding her from the chaos."Made friends with some Estonian arms dealers. Long story." Sarah checked the mirror. Two SUVs still following. "They're persistent. I'll give them that."Nickey's head throbbed. The vision from the apartment replayed in his mind. The jammed gun. The broken firing pin. He'd seen it before it happened."Sarah, what did Mom mean? About designing Dad's abilities?""Not now. We need to lose them first."The SUVs closed the distance. Windows rolled down. Gun barrels emerged."Down!" Sarah yelled.Bullets shredded the back windshield. Glass exploded inward. Trina screamed. Covered Hope with her body.Nickey felt it again. That shift. Time slowing. He saw the bullets. Saw their trajectories.

Bullets tore through the room. Nickey dove behind a medical cart. Sarah returned fire. Dropped three of Marcus's men."Get the children out!" Nickey yelled. "Now!"James grabbed two kids. Ran for the exit. Two more soldiers followed with children in their arms.Marcus walked through the gunfire. Bullets hit him. Did nothing. He kept coming."You can't kill me, little brother. I'm beyond death now. Beyond human limitations." He grabbed Sarah by the throat. Lifted her off the ground. "Catherine made me perfect."Sarah fired point blank into his face. The bullet ricocheted off. Metal glinted beneath torn synthetic skin."Synthetic skull plating. Reinforced skeletal structure. I'm the future. You're just meat."Nickey rushed him. Slammed into his back. It was like hitting a wall. Marcus didn't budge.He dropped Sarah. Turned. Grabbed Nickey. "I could crush your skull right now. But Catherine wants you alive. She has plans for you. For all of you.""I'll die before I let her touch Hope.""
