“You hear me Debra Zachs, none of you are going to leave this warehouse alive, especially not when I'm still incharge!” Lara Peterson's voice was laced with a mixture of anger and frustration.She immediately bashed the stomach of Debra Zachs with the base of the fully loaded German hand-made revolver, making Debra Zachs vomit blood from her mouth.Nurse Sabrina on the other hand was kneeling beside Martinez, the terrified boy tied to a chair wired to a bomb, had whispered, “Lara Peterson, he’s scared out of his mind. This is too much. We should let him go. He’s just a kid!”“I know we all want vengeance for what Carl Gerald had done to Clyde Lex but I'm beginning to feel that all this is a little bit too much…”“Don't you think so Lara?” Nurse Sabrina George asked as she stared at Lara Peterson.Lara Peterson had whirled on her, her eyes were blazing red hot with anger.“Don’t you dare start with that again, Nurse Sabrina! You’re in this as deep as I am.”“You let that kid go, and we

General Carl Gerald's expression hadn’t wavered as he stared at Lara Peterson as she spoke with so much anger and frustration.“Your father, Clyde Lex, made his choices, Lara Peterson. So did you. This ends now!”“You’re surrounded. Drop the weapon, let the hostages go, and maybe you walk out of here alive…or maybe not.” General Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination.Lara Peterson immediately laughed arrogantly, a wild, unhinged sound. “You think I’m scared of you Carl Gerald?”“You think I’m just gonna roll over? I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life, Carl Gerald, You killed Clyde Lex!”“You took everything from me. Now I’m taking it back.” Lara Peterson's voice was laced with a venom, the kind that you haven't actually seen before.She’d gestured toward Martinez, who whimpered softly. “You see this kid? And Debra Zachs over there?”“They’re my insurance. You take one step closer, and I blow this place sky-high with you all inside!”“At

General Carl Gerald slowly stared at Lara Peterson as she pointed the gun at him.“Lara Peterson, if you are going to shoot me, just shoot me alright!”“Just shoot me already and get it over with!” General Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of anger and determination as he stared through the barrel of the fully loaded Glock-17 which Lara Peterson had pulled out from nowhere.Sara Gerald was now holding the dead body of Nurse Angela and Doctor Marvin.“Lara, what have you done?”“You just killed your mom, Nurse Angela and Doctor Marvin, all because of revenge, are you really this crazy?!” Sara Gerald immediately yelled at Lara Peterson who didn't care much about what she had just done.Sara Gerald clutched the lifeless bodies of Nurse Angela and Doctor Marvin, her hands trembling as she stared at Lara Peterson again.Tears slowly streamed down her face, her voice breaking with raw emotion. “Lara, what have you done? You just killed your own mom! Your mom! How could you do thi

Debra Zachs stood, brushing dirt off her hands, her expression hard. “She’s gone. She made her choice, just like her father did.”“She completely deserves to be hanging dead on that forklift!” Debra Zachs voice was cold and detached.General Carl Gerald stared at Lara Peterson's now dead body, his jaw tight. He turned to Detective Steve, his voice cold and commanding. “Detective Steve, burn this place to the ground. Now.”“Since Lara Peterson decided to end it, I think we should let it end with her too.”“Burn down this whole warehouse and let it all end with Lara Peterson!” Detective Steve nodded, already moving toward the crates of supplies in the corner. “On it, General Carl Gerald.”Sara Gerald immediately looked up at General Carl Gerald, her voice trembling. “Carl Gerald we can’t just… burn it all. What about the evidence? What about—”“Sara,” General Carl Gerald immediately interrupted, his tone firm but not unkind. “This ends here. No more loose ends. No more chances for s

Sara Gerald immediately turned to General Carl Gerald and hugged him tightly.“Carl Gerald, you have always been my backbone even before mom was killed by Clyde Lex's goons…” Sara Gerald's voice was laced with emotions as tears welled down her eyes slowly.Debra Zachs, Detective Steve, Lieutenant Alex and Mrs Juliet Marcus immediately moved in towards General Carl Gerald and his sister Sara Gerald.“Sara Gerald, we have always got your back, you really don't have anything to be afraid of,” Mrs Juliet Marcus said softly, reaching out to squeeze Sara Gerald's arm. “We've been through the worst already, and look at us—we're still standing.”“We are not even standing, we are doing even better!”Sara Gerald immediately pulled back from the hug with her brother, wiping her eyes again with that black handkerchief. She looked around at everyone in the room, the fancy suite at Vesta Groups hotel that now belonged to General Carl Gerald. The place felt too big, too empty, even with all of th
