End Game David Baldacci Novels & Stories

“We heard everything. About killing Michael Collins. All of it.” For the first time I saw color drain from David’s face. He lunged for Zoe; security followed every move and hauled him back. His men didn’t fight. “It’s over, David,” Alex said quietly as they cuffed him. David looked back at me as they led him out. “You think you’ve won? You have no idea how deep this goes. I was just one piece.” Then he was gone.

pursuers down. But just as they neared the alley’s exit, another figure stepped into view—a third man, seemingly waiting for them. David immediately reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a switchblade. "Cass, stay behind me." The man smirked, his hand reaching for something inside his coat. But before he could draw a weapon, David struck first. With swift precision, he drove his knee into the man’s gut, slamming him against the wall before yanking Cassandra forward to keep running. "Come on, we have to get out of here!" They finally burst onto the main street. Cassandra’s breath hitched as she glanced behind her. Their pursuers were nowhere in sight. David pulled her toward an old c

he frisked Dillon and finally brought out his dagger. "Wait, David. I have a question for him" Alpha Jones stopped David from stabbing him. "I can't wait to kill him" David hesitated reluctantly. "You know where Baldwin is?" Alpha Jones pulled up Dillon's head, hitting him on the nose. Dillon let out a muffled groan. "Are you kidding me?" Baldwin was obviously shocked to hear the question. His face looked tearful. He shook his head in remorse. "You don't know where he is?" he gargled.

This book was such an adventure… It had my attention from the very first page, down to the last… I had a few laughs… almost shed a few tears… but I guess that was all the relief I needed from the emotional cluster I felt. I lowkey wish the book didn’t have an ending. Cause now that I’m done with it… I have to focus on the reality I’ve been trying to avoid. The reality that Dimitri might still be alive… The door to my office suddenly opens, and when I look up, it’s David. David!? What is he doing here? Isn’t he supposed to be with Vanessa?

The fierce, heavy possessiveness from our night in the silk sheets hadn't faded; it had just settled into a low, burning ember beneath his skin. "Zero is on the line," I said, breaking the silence as a sharp, double-tone chime echoed from my terminal. A digitized, distorted frequency crackled over the speakers. "Aria. Thorne," Zero’s voice came through, stripped of all humanity by the scrambler. "The Vance estate sweep is complete. Victoria didn't just run; she pulled her entire deep-cover network off the grid. She knows the core ledger data leaked at the masquerade has ruined her reputation with the high table. She's cornered. And a cornered viper doesn't look for a hiding spot —she looks f

Everyone was armed with the PMR-30 handguns that David had retrieved from his latest shipment. David took a stand on the front lawn, looking nicely groomed just for the occasion, with his grey beard trimmed and white dress shirt buttoned beneath a blue tie. “Alpha Gavin,” he boomed, “Dalesbloom has business to settle with you.” My stomach sickened. I glanced at Catrina standing beside David, her face sharp and glacial, scratches on her shoulders, arms, and cheek implying the fight Joseph had put up against her. Weeks ago, I would have found it attractive the way she carried her bloodthirsty demeanor; now I just found it chilling. Oslo returned with two rifles, and carrying one each, me and h

I pointed out, and he bobbed his head up and down in agreement. “Yes, that’s true. However, you are thinking like Elena Jones, not Darcy Taylor. You give too much credit to that thief than she deserves. She might have left everything intact, just because she knew you would come to the same conclusion.” David sipped on his glass of water and watched me quietly, his gaze pinning me to my place. I know he could be right, but he could also be wrong.

“It’s about shaping the future. Blaze doesn’t know what’s coming.” “And Kaia?” Kayne asked, folding his arms. “What happens to her in this grand plan?” David didn’t answer immediately. He simply said, “Collateral. Unless you want her to be more.” Kayne gave a short laugh, though it lacked humor. “You play a dangerous game, Mercer.” “So do you,” David replied without blinking. They clinked glasses, the tension laced between the chime. ***************** ~Author’s POV~ Later That Night The estate was quiet, except for the soft jazz playing through the walls of the private lounge.

He used it to slit his own throat, and feel on the hard floor, jerking and coughing as blood spewed on the floor. "Holy crap!" The men exclaimed and watched as David breathed his last. "What do we do sir? do you believe what he said?" Antonio asked. That was a hard question, and with David gone now, they may never find out the truth until they confronted Mrs Addams. The Mrs Addams Gabrielle knew, was the timid and shy one except that she was a bit troublesome and her colleagues hated her for that. so why on earth would she want to kill Alexa? and a married woman for that mater

He slowly pulled his hand from my grip, shaking his head. “Don't tell me that you're going to quit before you even start, Katerina.” He said, the corner of his lips curling up into a smile. “Don't give Stephanie the satisfaction that she's looking for. That's exactly what she wants. To scare you away so that you can give up on the case. She's playing mind games with you, Katerina.” I gritted my teeth upon the mention of that witch’s name. “If you give up now.” David paused, then heaved a deep sigh, “ Melissa's death would mean nothing, don't you think so?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. Thinking of his words, it made perfect sense.
