ELIX I looked at the tombstone for a long moment."You could have fixed this," I said. "If you were here, you would have called Renzo, had one conversation, and it would have been settled. Because men like you and men like him spoke the same language." I exhaled. "I speak it too. You made sure of that. But apparently, it sounds different coming out of my mouth."A car door closed somewhere near the gate. One of my men was probably adjusting it."I'm going to take the boy," I said quietly. "Not to hurt him. I want to be clear about that, even if there's nobody here to hear it." I paused. "I just need Renzo to understand what it feels like to want something he can't have. I have been feeling that for eight years."I straightened my coat."That's fair, isn't it?" The stone said nothing, which was the same thing my father had always done when he didn't agree with me but couldn't find a clean argument against me.I took that as a yes.I turned and walked back up the path. My men were sti

ZARIA My phone rang while I was still in the middle of reviewing patient files with Wang. The vibration buzzed against the table, and I glanced at the screen.Anna. She rarely called during work hours unless it was something small, like asking if Rai could have extra screen time.I answered with a smile in my voice. “Hey Anna, what’s up? Is Rai giving you trouble with homework again?”There was a pause on the other end. When Anna spoke, her words came out fast and shaky. “Zaria… I can’t find Rai. He was in his room drawing, but when I went to check on him a few minutes ago, he wasn’t there. I’ve looked everywhere in the apartment. The door was closed, but he’s gone.”I leaned back in my chair, still calm. My son was smart. He wasn’t the type to wander off into the city by himself. He knew the rules. “Okay, breathe. He probably went down to the lobby to see if the neighbor’s dog was there again. You know how he is with that puppy. Check the building first. I’m sure he’s fine.”“I a

RENZO Silas had been three steps ahead of me for four days.That was the part I couldn't sit with because for four days, five of my best people were just hitting locations that were still used up until we got there. The first hideout was a warehouse on the east side. We got there at two in the morning with six men, only to find the place was empty except for a folding table and a child's juice box on the floor.I stood there looking at that juice box for a long time.Hawk picked it up with gloved hands and bagged it without being asked. "He was here," he said. "Recently.""I can see that."We swept the building, but there was nothing. Silas and his men had cleared out fast and never panicked enough to drop a hint of their next location. It could only mean one thing: Silas had gotten word before we moved to apprehend him. It could also mean that someone in my circle was talking.And that was a problem I would deal with after I had Zaria's sweet boy back.I drove back in silence.__

RENZO "Nicholas," I repeated, wondering if the young man was even good enough. At the mention of the name, Domo shifted, and the plastic zip ties clicked against the metal rungs of the chair. "He must know the layout because physical ledgers are usually delivered to Petra Voss… before the split."I stood up, adjusting my cuffs and keeping my eyes locked on him. "If you are lying to me, Domo, this world will become a very small place for you.""I want to live," Domo muttered, his gaze dropping back to the concrete floor where a small puddle of water had collected from the leaky roof. "But Silas is unhinged and Elix is worse. I didn't even want this.”I didn't bother to answer. I turned and walked out of the room, leaving Asher by the door. Hawk was waiting in the main corridor of the laundry building, leaning against a stack of plastic crates with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked up as the door clicked shut behind me."Nicholas is young, Boss," Hawk said, having heard ever

RENZO I directed Hawk to steer the transit van back toward the warehouse district on the west side. Zaria remained resting against my shoulder with her fingers still holding the flash drive while Nicholas sat in silence across from us. The neon lights outside decreased as we entered the darker, industrial sector where my primary holding facility was located."Hawk, drop Nicholas at the secondary safe house," I said, checking my watch. "Then bring the vehicle around to the basement loading dock. I have a debt to clear before we head out to the rail yard."Hawk adjusted the rearview mirror and shifted gears. "Understood."We arrived at the warehouse ten minutes later. The large metal doors rolled upward with a heavy grind, and Hawk drove the transit van into the covered bay. I helped Zaria step out of the vehicle, guiding her toward the small office cubicle where she could sit down away from the chill of the concrete floor."Wait here for twenty minutes," I told her, closing the glass
