THE PROFESSOR'S DIRTY CLAIM
Hand the drive to him, tell him everything, and watch Eze burn.
Or plug it in myself.
End the merger.
End Damian’s empire.
End us.
The door opens.
Damian steps in, blood on his sleeve again, but not his. Eyes bright with victory.
He sees me on the cot.
Smiles, slow, dangerous.
“We got them,” he says. “HiAce driver. Two shooters. They’re in the basement now. Talking.”
He crosses the room.
Kneels beside the cot.
Kisses me, deep, claiming.
