Kade better hurry up on his end, or I’m going to burn this place to the ground with all of them inside. “You? You think you’re going to take down the empire I’ve created? That’s rich, really. Even with all your money, there isn’t anything you can do that Scotland Yard and MI-6 haven’t already tried.

The execution of myself and Bill seemed more plausible in the grand scheme of everything happening. The intensity of the struggle seemed to escalate with each passing moment, reaching a fever pitch that sent shivers down my spine. My breath came in slow, calculated spurts as I strained to hear any clue, any hint of the identities of those locked in the life-or-death battle just outside my room.

My heart slowed in my chest, and I strained my ears, attempting to discern any movement or conversation.
