There were situations Detective Jain Reynolds never thought she would be in after she had joined the police force. And one of those situations was being used as a bargaining chip at gunpoint. But as she felt the grip of Carlos Borges’s elbow on her neck, she couldn’t help but feel clueless that she had messed up by lunging in without thinking properly. And not only had she put herself in a difficult position, but also her current partner, Rylan Daystar. The man she had hated so much. Jain had always wanted to get her hands open with Carlos Borges. Ever since she had realized that he was the man behind the crimes in San Diego and also the man behind her daughter’s murder, she had always wanted to get her hands on him. Well, presently that didn’t seem to be the case. This wasn’t the ending she had predicted. Rylan was lost on what to do. He was raking his king for solutions, but nothing came. He could hear the sound of the sirens now, he was pretty sure that Carlos Borges heard it too

“All I need is your cooperation, and I assure you, this will be all easy,” Lieutenant Wesley said. Lana was seated before him on a table with her hands cuffed. She was in the interrogation room. A place she had never thought she would end up in. After everything that had happened last night, she thought she would be given a break but that didn’t seem to be the case. They were actively working on making sure that none of them ever saw the light of the day again. “I have nothing to say,” Lana replied. Lieutenant Wesley sighed and grabbed the ends of the table trying to keep his composure. She was making this much harder than it was supposed to be. All she had to do was tell him the truth, and maybe the judge would reduce her sentence, but he doubted she would want to say anything. Before going into the interrogation room, he had talked to Jain who told him not to go easy on Lana. She had told him that members of affiliates of the cartel didn’t usually open up easily. And now, Lieute

“Are you okay?” Detective Jain Reynolds asked, rushing to Rylan who had just come out of the room. Rylan nodded his head as he straightened his clothes once more. He was feeling accomplished now. Everything was set. They had all teamed up against him and he had still found a way to win. Rylan didn’t know if that was luck or the work of his intelligence. “I’m fine, Detective.”Jain flashed him a smile and pulled him into a hug. Lieutenant Wesley, who was still standing by the window, was surprised by this. It seemed he wasn’t the only one as Rylan’s eyes bulged out when Jain hugged him. He sighed and wrapped his hands around her, hugging her back. Jain wanted it to stay this way forever. She loved the warmth he provided her. It made her feel safe, something she hadn’t felt in a long time. Finally, she let go of Rylan and her cheeks heated up. She took a step backward and scratched her neck feeling mortified. Rylan could only chuckle while Lieutenant Wesley shook his head behind he

Rylan clenched his jaws as he ran on the treadmill. He was going faster than he was supposed to, but that didn’t matter to him. He was happy that things were going back to normal. But there was only one thing left for him to cross off his list—finding his father. Only his father knew where his mother’s corpse was. Rya hated the fact that he would have to confront his father about this. But nothing made sense. If Paul wasn’t there for him, why would he take his mother’s corpse away? It wasn’t adding up. Williams had been searching for days but had found nothing yet. He hadn't spoken to Jain since then as well. It seemed she was pretty serious about them not seeing each other again. That didn’t bother Rylan like he thought it would. He was better off alone. When he couldn’t keep up with the pace, Rylan turned off the treadmill and walked it out before stepping off it. He was panting now and was covered in sweat and he headed towards the bench at the end of the gymnasium. There was hi

Rylan could feel his heart thumping as he stared at the man before him. How could he not tell that he was his son? He looked exactly like him. The man was quiet and he waited for Rylan to speak but no words could converge. As Rylan stared at him continually, he could feel only one thing which was rage. And so he did the only thing he could; he stepped forward and slammed a fist on the man’s cheek. Paul stumbled backward and held his cheek in surprise. He had been taken unawares by this stranger. The last thing he had expected was to hear a knock on his door. He didn’t expect anybody to see him, because nobody knew about him. But here this stranger pulled up to him and gave him a good hit. “Sweet mother of…” Paul mumbled as he regained his stamina. “What the hell did you do that for?”“That’s for abandoning me and my mother.”Paul looked at him in confusion. “What are you talking about?” He asked, rubbing his cheek. Rylan was in disbelief. His father couldn't recognize him. This
