Ryan stood in the quiet street, the night air cold against his skin. Clara held his arm tight, still trembling. Ava clutched her sister’s hand, and Mrs Harrison whispered a quiet prayer. The police had taken the captured kidnappers away, but Ryan’s mind was racing. “We can’t stop now,” Ryan said softly, his eyes scanning the dark alleys. “Adrian Knight will come back. He always does.” Rocas nodded. “Boss, we need to plan. He is smart, organized. He won’t make the same mistake twice.” Ryan clenched his fists. “Then we plan smarter. We find him before he finds anyone else.” His uncle, still recovering from the bullet, stepped closer. “We cannot act blindly. Adrian has men everywhere. He knows the streets, the city, the people. We need information. We need patience.” Ryan looked at him, anger burning in his eyes. “Patience… we don’t have patience. Clara was almost killed. My friends almost died. How do we wait?” His uncle sighed. “We wait smart. If we act now, we could lo

The BANG! shook the whole warehouse.Ava screamed upstairs. Mrs Harrison held her so tight.Clara grabbed Ryan’s arm. “Ryan!! They found us! What is that sound?!”Rocas jumped from his chair. “Boss!! They hit the gate! Something hit the gate!”Ryan’s uncle rushed forward. “Check the camera again!”Rocas clicked fast. The screen came on again.The shadow was no longer standing still.He was walking slowly to the gate… step by step… like he didn’t fear anything.Ryan clenched his fist. “He wants to break in.”Clara’s voice shook. “But how… how did he know we are here?”Ryan’s uncle breathed out heavily. “Adrian must have put a tracker on someone… maybe one of those men who escaped. Maybe someone followed you after the fight.”Another loud CLANG! hit the gate. The whole warehouse shook again.Ava screamed louder. “RYAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!”Ryan shouted, “Ava stay upstairs!! Lock your door!!”Mrs Harrison cried, “Oh Lord… not again… not again…”Rocas looked up. “Boss, if they break t

Ryan stood still. His chest moved up and down fast. The warehouse felt colder. The broken gate shook lightly from the wind outside.Adrian Knight… his father’s elder brother… stood a few steps away.The man Ryan feared. The man Ryan thought was dead. The man who destroyed everything before.Adrian’s smile did not shake. He looked calm like he was not entering a fight, but a meeting.“Ryan… you look exactly like your father,” Adrian said slowly. “Strong eyes. Proud face. The same stubborn heart.”Ryan clenched his fists. “Don’t say anything about my father.”Adrian laughed quietly. “Why not? He was my little brother. And he ruined my life.”Ryan didn’t wait. He didn’t think. He didn’t care.He ran toward Adrian and threw the first punch with full force.But Adrian moved like smoke.His hand came up and blocked it easily.Ryan gasped. Adrian didn’t even flinch.“You fight like him too,” Adrian said softly. “But you don’t understand who you are fighting.”Ryan threw ano

The door creaked slowly. Ryan and Commander Blake tensed. Clara pressed herself close to Ryan. Ava stayed behind, holding Mrs Harrison’s hand tightly. Then the door swung fully open. Adrian stepped in first. His black jacket tight, eyes cold, lips twisted into a cruel smile. Behind him, a squad of six men followed, all armed, all ready. Ryan’s heart pounded. “This is it,” he whispered. Commander Blake stepped in front of Ryan and the others. “Back off, Adrian. Leave now, or you will regret it,” he said. His voice was calm, but sharp. Adrian laughed softly. “You think I care about regrets? I came for Ryan. I came for what’s mine. And I don’t leave without it.” Ryan clenched his fists. “I won’t let you touch Clara again.” Adrian’s eyes narrowed. “She belongs to me,” he said. “And you… you destroyed my life when your father became rich. Now it’s time I take what I want.” Commander Blake raised his gun slightly. “Last warning. Go back, Adrian. Your men will n

The forest was dark. The trees swayed in the wind. Ryan ran with Clara, Rocas, and his uncle close behind. Branches hit their faces. Leaves got stuck in their hair. Ryan’s heart pounded. He kept looking behind. Adrian and his men were chasing them fast. Clara held Ryan’s hand tight. “Ryan… I’m scared… they’re still behind us.” Ryan whispered, “I know… stay close. Don’t let go.” Rocas ran beside Ryan. “Boss, the path is blocked with fallen trees up ahead. We have to climb.” Ryan nodded. They reached the fallen trees. Ryan pulled Clara up first. Rocas and his uncle followed. Ryan climbed last. They moved as quietly as possible. But Adrian’s men were everywhere. The sound of footsteps, broken branches, and muffled shouts filled the night. Ryan’s uncle whispered, “They are trying to surround us. Keep moving.” Clara stumbled on a root. Ryan grabbed her just in time. “Careful! Don’t stop, we are almost out.” The group ran toward the smal
