The man remembered the woman's name on the laptop screen; Ben rubbed his face and sighed wearily. She was a witness in the Henry Crawford criminal case who had died. The murder case seemed to be adding more victims. And he couldn't prevent it; he was too late. "Today I have to meet Emily again to request witness protection. Don't let there be another witness victim!" Lieutenant Benjamin told himself.

"If her information is good, yes. We have witness protection protocols. Safe houses. New identities. She would have to testify but we can keep her alive." "Then we respond," Hope said. She started typing before anyone could stop her. *We can offer protection if your information is genuine. What proof can you provide that you have what you claim?* The response came within seconds. *Viktor is planning something. Soon. He has been meeting with Marcus's old network. Consolidating resources. I have recordings. Photographs. Financial transactions. Everything. But he suspects I am compromised. He moved up his timeline. Whatever he is planning happens in three days.

he spoke into a small, encrypted radio. On the other end of the line, a cold, familiar voice responded. "Report." "The assassin spoke with the witness." The observer paused, watching the empty street below. "Did he eliminate her?" "No." A long silence stretched over the airwaves before the voice replied, noticeably colder than before. "Damien has become a liability." The transmission ended with a sharp click. Without a word, the observer slipped his camera into a canvas bag and quietly disappeared into the shadows of the building.

Almiro the assurance that he wanted to hear. "You will be protected by Interpol's witness protection program." As I announce that, I pulled an envelope containing the set of information that he would need regarding the matter. It has everything inside including the written agreement for the witness protection program, down to the address of his temporary lodging as well as the key for his own unit. All it was missing was his signature. "Here is the information on where you can stay and what to do."

A yellow legal pad. A pen.

I wrote every name of every person who had been present in the room when the witness protection expansion was first discussed eighteen months ago.

The contact sends electricity up my arm—a reminder that I'm still here, still feeling, still alive despite everything. In his bathroom, I change out of my wine-bar dress into his clothes. They smell like him. Cedar and something clean. I catch my reflection in the mirror—mascara smudged, eyes red, hair a mess. I look wrecked. I look real. When I emerge, Adrian is set up on the couch with a blanket. Laptop open. Already researching something. "What are you doing?" "Looking into witness protection protocols. How the program works. What kind of threats warrant protection. How secure the identity changes are."

“Miss Carter, I know you just walked in, but did you happen to witness the altercation?” “I did,” I said, trying to play it cool with a soft smirk. “Then I’ll need your info just in case this goes to trial.” He handed me his notepad and a pen. “Put your digits right here, darlin’ queen. I’ll reach out if you’re needed.” Okay. Darlin’ queen?! This man was dangerous. I wrote my number down without even thinking.

But Adrian, people in witness protection build lives. Build families. Live full, normal lives even with managed risk. It's possible.

Or are you planning to move on to the next client once this immediate crisis is over?"

Possessive. "Come for me," he growled I did. Screaming. Walls pulsing. Nails raking his back. He followed—deep, hard, groaning my name like a curse. We stayed like that—panting, joined, trembling. Then he pulled out. Disposed of the condom. Helped me sit up. "The whistleblower," he said quietly. "Elena. She's safe. Witness protection. New name. New life. She was never going to testify because she never had real proof. Just suspicions. I made sure she could disappear before anyone could hurt her."

That kind of loyalty always broke eventually. The hospital presented a challenge, it was risky to attack a witness prior to a decision. . However safety does not foster fear, but proof is needed for fear. However I had misjudged the speed at which they would use the incident as leverage. My cell phone buzzed.
