"Officer, this is an outright violation of my fundamental human rights!"Greg's voice thundered through the house as he glared at the officer who had taken the search to an entirely different level.It was seven o'clock in the evening when members of the FBI stormed his home once again, making it the second raid in a matter of weeks.Unlike the previous visit, which had taken place early in the morning, this one came at a time Greg least expected. They had deliberately arrived in the evening, catching him off guard when his defenses were down. After all, who would expect federal agents to appear at their doorstep twice within such a short period?The moment they entered, they spread out across the house with practiced efficiency. Some headed upstairs while others remained on the ground floor, opening drawers, inspecting cabinets, and searching every corner they deemed necessary.Greg stood in the middle of his living room with his jaw tightened and a clenched fist watching them with g
210: I'm Sorry It Happened
“Is this why you called me here?”Those were the exact words Jane uttered after Dante finished talking to her.Her voice was calm, but the disappointment behind it struck harder than anger will do.“Calm down, Jane,” Dante replied, doing his best to maintain a composed demeanor.He paused briefly before continuing. “I’m sorry this is happening, but trust me, it was a setup.”Jane fixed him with a sharp stare. The irritation in her eyes gradually softened at the mention of that single word.Almost immediately, memories from their first date resurfaced in her mind. She remembered how Giulia had appeared out of nowhere and attempted to hijack the evening.The woman had been overly familiar, clingy, and possessive around Dante. Yet through it all, Dante had never reciprocated her behavior.That remembrance alone made Jane to believe Dante, though not fully.“So how exactly did it happen?” she asked, her gaze never leaving his face.Dante released a long breath and lowered his eyes. For a
209: 2:00 A.M Banging
After Dante left the police station, night had already settled over the city.As Dante stepped into the parking lot and headed toward his car, exhaustion settled into his bones.Only then did he remember Maverick. The realization struck him like a punch in the chest.He had completely missed the meeting. To top it off, Maverick had called several times but he didn't answer any of them neither did he returned the call."He would probably be thinking I intentionally refused to answer," he muttered silently."From his perspective, it would seem as though I had deliberately ignored him. There was no reason for him to assume otherwise."Only if Maverick knew what Dante got into that made him physically present but absent minded the moment the phone was ringing."He stared at the screen again and sighed heavily."He must be furious."The longer he looked at the phone, the more uncomfortable he becomes.Dante considered returning the call immediately but something popped up in her head, maki
208: What's That?
When Dante left the firm, he drove straight to the police station to report himself. Deep down, he knew there was no realistic way to evade justice.Cameras are everywhere, and there is a high chance the accident had already been captured from multiple angles.Even if nobody at the scene had managed to identify him, it would only take a matter of time before the authorities would trace him through his car.Once his licence plate becomes public, people will start coming forward with information, especially if a cash reward is attached.The thought weighed heavily on him."No matter how difficult things become, I'll get through them," Dante told himself.His fingers tightened around the steering wheel as he continued driving. His mind was so consumed by the accident that everything else around him seemed distant. Images of the incident replayed repeatedly in his head.His phone had been ringing on the dashboard for quite some time, but he hadn't even noticed. The ringtone echoed through
207: Landed Into Another Trouble
The car swerved violently out of its lane to the pedestrian lane. That was when it dawned on Dante that he had hit someone. However, he did avoid the truck.The realization crashed into him harder than even a physical blow.Although he had successfully avoided colliding with the truck, the outcome was far from what he had intended. In his desperate attempt to prevent one disaster, he had created another."No..." he muttered under his breath.His fingers tightened around the steering wheel as disbelief swept through him. The entire incident had happened so quickly that his mind struggled to process it.For several seconds, he remained frozen behind the wheel, staring blankly ahead.When he finally came back to his memory, he hastily pushed the car door open and stepped out.The moment his feet touched the ground, he realized things had already spiraled beyond his control.People have started gathering. Individuals from nearby shops, pedestrians, and passersby all rushed toward the scen
206: More Like Assassination
"Could you come to my office?" Maverick requested.The moment the words left the man's mouth, Dante felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.His grip tightened around the steering wheel as conflicting thoughts battled inside his head. A part of him wanted to agree immediately. After all, the information he needs from Maverick is one of the reasons he returned to the city in the first place. However, another part of him knew there was someone else already waiting, which was Pa Santoro.The old man had extended his stay at the office solely because Dante promised he was coming. It wasn't something the elderly businessman would normally do.Vittorio Santoro valued his time, and despite his stern nature, he had always treated Dante with a level of respect that few others received.Dante glanced at the dashboard clock. The realization made him uneasy.If he chose to meet Maverick now, it would mean keeping the old man waiting for nothing."Umm..." he muttered, struggling to come up with an
