The table where the files used to be. I started the car.

I watched him carefully while my heart pounded painfully against my ribs. Anderson leaned back slightly, exhaustion flickering across his face. “I went back and reinvestigated the vehicle from the accident,” he said. My breath caught. Anderson’s eyes sharpened. “The car was quietly taken off the grid four years ago,” he said. “It was completely destroyed, shipped overseas, and scrapped.” Shock froze me completely. What? “That kind of cleanup operation,” he continued slowly, “isn’t something you could’ve done.” “But the Stone family could,” Anderson said coldly.

Before he could answer, I took my three children by the hand and walked out. Behind me, Jared was struggling against the guards holding him back. His voice grew louder and louder, shouting my name, but I ignored it. Pulling out my phone, I sent a message. [Thank you for inviting me. I’m sorry for ruining your competition.] The reply came instantly. [On the contrary. This incident gave us traffic and revenue. You’re the real queen of profit.] A huge transfer hit my account, followed by another message: [Your payment, and my gift. Nirvana is the perfect name. Congratulations on your rebirth. Can I attend your company’s launch event?]

"Fine. Take my life and send me to see Jacob." Summoning all my strength, I enunciated, "What you owe Jacob cannot be repaid even with ten lives!" A resolute gleam entered his eyes. "Then we'll perish together, reuniting our family in the afterlife!" He slammed the accelerator, the engine roaring as the vehicle hurtled toward a cliff. As I braced for mutual destruction, a thunderous roar filled the air. Two helicopters descended rapidly, intercepting the car mere inches from the abyss. The doors slid open, and a team of mercenaries disembarked efficiently, dragging Marcello from the driver's seat.

PAYOUT: 8,333 CREDITS. "Car is paid off," Ren grinned to himself. "And I still have enough for the insurance." He walked to the window of his silent apartment. He looked down at the street where his new silver SUV was parked. It looked safe. Powerful. Just like the War-Rig they had just driven. He went to the kitchen and opened his laptop to check the nightly news. It was a habit now—a way to see how the "Game" interpreted their wild adventures. He expected to see a report about a pharmaceutical delivery.

The motorcade was a spectacle of raw, industrial intimidation,twenty obsidian-black SUVs led by a single, armored Rolls-Royce, cutting through the gray morning like a funeral procession for the Rossi legacy. The transition from the tropical warmth of Turks and Caicos to the biting, industrial chill of the North was complete. The tires didn't just roll over the asphalt; they claimed it, a relentless thrumming that echoed Czar’s heartbeat.

he said displeased. We were all thinking about the jarring truth of his words when Luca’s phone rang. Every head turned. The air shifted instantly. Tighter. Charged. He glanced at the screen. “Mason,” he said to the room. Then swiped to answer. “Mace, I have you on speaker… give me good news, bro.” A brief shuffle. Then Mason’s voice came through—Electric. Alive. “Yeah… the dashcam caught something.” We all leaned in. “We would have had nothing except it's colour,” he continued. “Car’s black—you only get a side profile. But when Adriano reversed, his lights hit the badges…” A beat. “Black Dodge… Redeye.”

The kids scream. “DOWN!” I scream back as the kids brace. I grab the gun from the door. I rip the handbrake up and spin the car so the front is facing the oncoming SUVs. I throw the car into reverse and fire out of the open window. I keep driving backwards as I aim for the tyres. I blow two out on the SUV. It swerves and flips causing the one behind to crash into it. One last time I spin the wheel and gun it forward. The gate is open as car’s race out past me and I drive up the familiar driveway. And park the car.

Then… “Sir, the black car resurfaced. It’s the same model. We managed clearer footage this time—plates are visible this time around.” I set my pen down immediately, my chest tightening. “Trace them.” “Already sent to the team,” Ezra confirmed. “We should have a name within the next twenty-four hours.”
