Back in the warehouse, the smirk on the Don’s face was really annoying to Raina He took another step backward when clearly she had told him not to move The rage inside of Raina was boiling up, if she shoot the Don, his men would shoot at her Raina’s eye darkened with fear and fury If she couldn’t get her son, if she couldn’t save him then what was the point? Her hands shook, the gun trembling in her grip “We might as well all die today!” Raina spat her eyes didn’t leave the Don, not for a second “The only person that was suppose to die is her” the Don pointed at Kendra who was standing beside Raina with her hands cuffed “You should have just killed me in the prison, instead of bringing me here and involving the detective and her son” Kendra spoke up “She caused this, she was digging into the case” the Don replied “My partner, Harris had sleepless night for this case before he died, the last thing I promised him was to find the people behind it!” Raina said betwee

The Don raised his hands, eyes wide Not in surrender, but disbelief. His mind was racing He hadn’t counted on Raina, on anyone outsmarting him this thoroughly “What’s the status. Do you copy?” he barked into his phone, to his men stationed at the primary location No responses They were supposed to be the watch guards now they were unreachable The Don’s men had their gun on Raina but she didn’t flinch this time She kept her aim locked, this time she knew she wasn’t alone, the police were approaching Most especially her son was safe Raina blurted out “Game is over!” Two of the Don’s men kept trying the doors for an escapee route for him but nothing Raina smiled just a little, at the Library raid the Don had slipped away This time Leon already knew he would do same so securing the exits was a very smart move The Don’s face twisted in fury at Raina’s word “I rule the game and I say when it’s over or not!” he shouted “I will make sure everyone here pays!” “Boss, it’s

In the hospital room, Tara had just finished watching the news The movie continued playing but she was bit interested in watching it anymore Tara stood to her feet, changing off from the blue robe Her feet firm with back straight and head high She was recovered, almost fully Pieces of her memories back, her pride intact, just the same Tara’s personality The nurse hovered “You’re not cleared yet. You need rest” She had been trying to talk Tara out of leaving the hospital Tara ignored her, she brush pastI know my limits. I will be fine” She didn’t care about anyone’s rules Control was hers, always had been She would leave if she wanted, besides she felt strong and healthy *** About that same time, Leon was speeding to get Victor medical attention “Check his pulse, shit!” Leon half shouted overtaking a heavy duty truck in front “Boss, I can’t feel it” Jake’s voice sounded Leon’s grip tightens on the steering wheel The hospital lights appeared in t

Doctor Banks and Leon watched Raina jog away “Still the same kid with a bullet to his spleen-is his mother your friend?” Doctor Banks asked Leon didnt know how to answer that question He had not known at first that Raina was Victor’s mother He and Raina had only shared a night and nothing happened between them “Not really” Leon replied sharply “And the other lady?” Doctor Banks asked holding Leon’s gaze “My wife” Leon responded sharply “I see, after you survived-you started a new life, got married too” Doctor Banks said more than asked “It’s not what it is-it’s just an arranged marriage” Leon replied “Marriage to the Vorene family is no small fit” Doctor Banks added, he knew Tara from Commercials and social media It was hard for anyone in Zyrai not to know Tara, except they lived under a rock “Does she know who you are?” Doctor Banks asked Leon nodded his head “Nobody knows” Doctor Banks nodded Leon had stayed hidden these past years But suspi
