Mission Impossible With Peter Graves Romane & Geschichten

Suddenly, piercing screams filled the air and a dark and dense smoke surrounded the car, making Peter lose control and crash against something. Before we could move, a dense shadow spread around the car. “What in the Sixth Pit of Hell is happening?” I asked Peter, trying to see anything through the darkness. In a matter of seconds, the shadow became toxic smoke, making it impossible to breathe. Blindly reaching for the car door, I tried to open it. I didn’t know if I had grown weak or if something was blocking the door, but opening it was unviable. “Peter, can you hear me?” No response came yet again. The toxic smoke knocked him out.

What purpose does it serve to bury two people together in death if they couldn't be together in life? David's passing remained a secret, with only Kisa and Jensen in attendance at the funeral. Jensen stood stoically before the gravestone, not shedding a tear or uttering a word, his tall, slender silhouette exuding a profound sadness. Peter arrived at the gravesite as dusk fell, still nursing injuries that caused him to limp with every step. He approached David's grave and stared at the photograph affixed to the headstone—a face entirely foreign to him.

His life didn’t seem to have any meaning now, and whether he liked it or not, he’d die in here one day. “They won’t hesitate to even shoot me and you if we step out of here. The only person who might have been your chance to escape was Gabriel, and now he’s dead,” Peter said. Still, Adrian didn’t pay attention to him but continued with what he was doing. He kept pushing aside the heavy metal blocking the hole. The meters weighed more than 200 tons, but Adrian could lift them, making it look easy. But Peter knew how much weight it held. Even two people couldn’t move it—these things were arranged with a machine that lifted them here.

From the helicopter, I watched Alfred race to the crash site, clutching the fallen license plate, crying out, "Helen, Ruby..." It did not take long for the internet to explode with news of Ruby and I dying in that fiery wreck. I held my sleeping Ruby tight, put away my phone, and whispered, "This is it, Alfred. We're done for good." Alfred was haunted, thinking it was all some nightmare. He would slap himself, pinch his skin, and even jab himself with a knife, desperate to snap out of it. However, the pain, sharp and undeniable, kept telling him the brutal truth.

MAXINE “Tell us what?” Mr. Grayson asked, looking between Zel and Peter. "What are you hiding from us?" "It's nothing," Peter insisted. He moved to leave the room but Mr. Grayson blocked his path. "Dad, get out of my way." "Talk to me, Peter. I'm your father." Mr. Grayson tried to convince him. "I said it's nothing!" Peter yelled, swinging his arm across. Purple energy exploded from his fingers and hit the lamp on the table.

Frederick's words were resounding and powerful. It left Jennifer momentarily stunned. Keith hurried forward to inspect Peter's condition, only to find that the latter was completely lifeless. "He's dead…?" Keith's eyes widened in disbelief. Peter was, after all, a formidable figure of the Smiths’ older generation. He was a Sovereign Grandmaster at his peak—and he was felled by just a few slaps from Frederick! Killing Peter in front of Keith was also disrespecting the Yarborough family. But now, even Keith himself seemed hesitant. He was afraid to take unnecessary risks.

What kind of face would he make if he knew I was buried in the wall behind him? But I was just a spirit now, invisible and untouchable. All I could do was watch as he drove to the graveyard. Then, it hit me—today was Evan Austen's death anniversary. Evan had been an exceptional undercover cop and was Jayden's mentor. To Jayden, Evan was like a father in everything but blood. Still, I couldn't help wondering if Jayden was actually an idiot. Visiting Evan's grave right now was reckless. Their whole operation would collapse if Jayden slipped up and revealed his identity.

“And since Mark is so interested in a power play now. His thumb pressed the remote. A video displayed on the screen Mark, in a parking lot, arguing heatedly with an unknown man, discussing: “if we pin it on Peter, the board will vote him out I’ll take control” The room erupted. Gasps. Whispers. Terror. Then The door burst open. MARK WALKS INTO HIS OWN GRAVE Mark froze when he saw the screen. His face drained of color. Peter turned slowly, expression unblinking. “Brother.” Mark’s lips parted. “Peter this isn’t this was taken out of context” “That excuse,” Peter cut smoothly, “is older than your conscience.” The directors stared at the brothers as if watching the collapse of an empire.

“But unlike my parents, I saw you coming.” Peter’s eyes darted around the cemetery, taking in their relative isolation. Most of the mourners had left, and the few remaining were too far away to hear their conversation or even see them. He didn’t know about the FBI agents or Peters so close. “You hired someone to kill me,” Blair said matter-of-factly. “A hitman. Just like you probably hired someone to sabotage my parents’ plane.” “You can’t prove anything,” Peter said automatically, but his voice was shaky.

“There was nothing to question. Their purpose ended the moment they touched you.” He took a step toward the bed, his gaze locking onto Julian’s. “If I had gone straight home tonight, like I meant to, instead of coming back to that party to find you… you would be dead. Their only ‘use’ was to show me how close I came. The lesson is learned.” A heavy, suffocating silence filled the room. Peter cleared his throat, the sound too loud. “Speaking of… untrustworthy sources,” he began, shifting his weight. “Ryan Graves reached out. From his new federal holding cell.”
