Arrival in Giona

From the helicopter, Dane looked out at the view below. The city stretched out beneath him, lights twinkling, buildings rising like monuments. He was admiring it quietly, just watching, lost in thought.

Then his phone buzzed.

A message came in. The buzz broke his focus, and he looked down at the screen.

It was from Butcher.

He opened the message. Butcher had sent him pictures—faces of the people he was supposed to meet. Along with the pictures came instructions and the place where he’d find them.

He was to interrogate them, not kill them. That part was clear.

They were different. Even if they had never been to Genoa, Butcher had given him precise directions on how to get there and everything he needed to know. Dane understood it.

But there was one thing missing.

He didn’t know where his stopping point would be

Well, I just have to see. Wait and see where the chopper lands, Dane thought, continuing to look out at the view from the helicopter. Let me see the city—Giona. Let me see how g

    Dane’s eyes scanned the rooftop, then darted to the staircase. He could hear faint voices and footsteps below—dozens of them. More than fifty men. There was no way he could make it out of here alive with Kira. Even if he escaped the rooftop, the ground floor would be a slaughterhouse. They’d never let him walk away, not with her.What do I do?Then, an idea sparked—reckless, dangerous… but it might be his only shot.Without hesitation, Dane dropped his gun to the floor.Leo’s eyes widened for a second in surprise—but then curled into a smug smile. “I knew you didn’t have the guts—”But before Leo could finish the thought, Dane charged at him.Leo’s grin vanished instantly. He raised his gun to fire.Bang!But it was too late—Dane had already anticipated where Leo would aim. He twisted his body mid-lunge, and the bullet tore into his left hand. Blood sprayed, pain shot through him like lightning—but Dane didn’t stop. He embraced the pain, swallowed it like it was fuel.In the same moti

  • The Disposable Man

    Leo narrowed his eyes. “So Butcher really gave you permission to kill me? His own adopted son?”Dane kept his aim steady. “Yeah. He did. And honestly, if you kill me, you might lose your life too. We both die. I’ve got nothing to lose, Leo… but you do.”Leo raised an eyebrow. “And what exactly do I have to lose?”“Revenge,” Dane said coldly. “You kill me, sure—but then you never get to make Butcher pay. Isn’t that what you really want?”Leo’s jaw tightened. “You… you need to be dealt with. Seriously. I want to see you suffer. You’ve already done a lot of damage. My men—” He glanced at the unconscious bodies around them. “—and you know there are still more downstairs.”“Maybe there are,” Dane replied. “Maybe not. But listen—let’s make a deal.”Leo hesitated. “What kind of deal?”“You let Kira go,” Dane said. “Toss me her. I’ll throw you my bike keys. She gets on the bike and rides back to the ship. I’ll watch her leave from up here. No tricks. Once she’s safe, we finish this—however it

  • Permission to Kill

    “Now you’ve got your money,” Dane said, breath steady, eyes sharp. “Give me Kira.”Kira’s eyes were wide, locked on Dane, her body trembling slightly, taped mouth muffling any words. She knew something was coming.Leo smiled.“Wait—sorry,” he said casually, stepping forward. “I lied.”He snapped his fingers.Immediately, the five men who had been counting the money dropped the bundles and began surrounding Dane. No guns—just thick sticks and steel rods. Dane quickly scanned them, measuring each man, their stance, their speed.Gun? No—not yet. They’re not armed. I won’t waste bullets, I’ll use what I’ve got.Leo watched with a grin as his men tightened the circle.“You thought I forgot?” Leo said, voice rising. “I remember that room. That same room where you all locked me up—like a rabid animal. Just because I killed Ben. And now… I’ll make every one of you pay. Butcher. You.”He pointed directly at Dane.“You two will regret everything.”Suddenly, one of the men lunged.The stick came

  • Into the Trap

    “You did come alone, right?” Leo asked, eyeing Dane with a slight grin.“Yes,” Dane replied calmly. His voice was firm, but his eyes stayed locked on Leo’s every move.Leo took a slow step forward, scanning him. “You look different from the last time I saw you.”Dane tilted his head slightly. “People change.”Leo chuckled darkly. “Yeah… every man changes. But you? You look like you’re on something. Your eyes… red. Wild.”Dane didn’t flinch. “You’re right. I’ve been taking some stuff. Ever since I left Butcher.”He looked off for a second, then back at Leo.“When I was still with him, as his so-called son, he never let me try anything. Even when I was abroad, I avoided that life. I tried to be clean. I really did.”He stepped closer now, just a bit.“But now… I’m free. I don’t want to live by anyone else’s rules anymore.”Leo grinned wider. “That’s good. That’s real good. Be your own man.”They were just a few feet apart now.“Well, you can do whatever the hell you want,” Dane said, “b

  • Rooftop Ransom

    “I’m very sure this mission isn’t going to be easy.” Dane said to himself.Leo hates me—with passion. That’s a fact. He wants me to walk into his trap alone so he can kill me. But I’ll be ready. For anything. Before he gets the chance…Suddenly, a knock on the door.Dane opened it. A huge man stood there, holding a large black duffel bag—and a rifle case.“Delivery,” the man said in a deep voice, handing both over.Dane grabbed the bag. His arms dipped under the sheer weight.Damn, that’s heavy.He dropped it on the bed, unzipped it slowly—then froze.Stacks of cash. Neat, tight bundles. It looked like the full $5 million.“Look at this much cash,” he muttered. “Why can’t I just take a little and care for myself?”He stared at it for a second longer, then shook the thought away. Focused. Zipped it back up.He turned to the gun. It was clean, military-grade.Wow. This is really good.Then he undressed, slipping into the tailored blue suit. Every stitch fit perfectly. He stepped into th

  • No Permission Needed

    “Okay, fine. I’ll send my men to go get it for you—the bag,” Butcher said. “You take the bag, it’s ready. You go with the cash. I’ll go with guns.”He looked Dane in the eye. “One thing I’m sure of—you’re not getting out of this unscathed.”“Wait,” Dane asked. “Do I have permission to kill him?”“Yes,” Butcher replied. “You have permission to do whatever you need. I didn’t want to go that far before… but I made a promise to someone. Even if that wasn’t what they wanted—it’s Leo. He started attacking us. He even killed his own man.”“Okay,” Dane nodded. “That means I can kill him. Good. When will the cash be ready?”“I don’t know,” Butcher said, glancing at the time. “It’s already 1 PM. I called someone to prepare it before you came in. It should be ready in an hour. Then we move.”He paused. “I’m still not sure of the exact location yet…”Just then, Butcher’s phone buzzed. Another message—from the same unknown number. He checked it, and his face tensed. The message contained an addres
