CHAPTER 155
Torres flew to Prague within forty-eight hours. Agent Larry accompanied her as required by protocol. The flight was long and filled with strategic planning.Damien insisted on joining them despite warnings that it was too dangerous. He needed to face Volkov himself now that he knew the full truth about Marcus's betrayal.Simone begged him not to go but she understood why he must. "Promise me you'll come back," she whispered at the airport. Her eyes were red from crying."I promise," Damien said and held her tight. Emma clung to his leg not wanting to let go of her father again.The secure facility where they were staying was guarded heavily enough that Simone felt safe for now. FBI agents rotated shifts outside their doors every six hours.Emma stayed with her mother and Ashley while Damien was gone. She was unaware of the latest revelations about Uncle Marcus and his terrible choices.Ashley had taken time off from work to help with Emma. The little girl needed stability and familiar
CHAPTER 154
Damien could not speak. His throat closed completely. The armored vehicle suddenly felt like it was spinning even though it moved steadily forward.Marcus's words replayed in his mind. Each one was a knife twisting deeper. Marcus stole money that should have protected Katarina. Marcus's addiction cost an innocent woman her life.And Volkov knew, that was why the revenge was so personal and so relentless. So willing to destroy everything and everyone connected to Marcus.It was not just about testimony against a criminal organization. It was about a father who lost his daughter because of Marcus's selfish, desperate act.Torres leaned forward in her seat watching Damien carefully. "What's happening? What did Marcus say?"Damien held up a hand. His mind raced through years of events seeing them all in a new terrible light.He finally found his voice but it came out shaky. "You let me believe we were innocent victims. You let me risk everything for this.""Damien, please," Marcus sobbed
CHAPTER 153
The panic room door opened with a heavy metallic sound. Torres stood in the doorway looking devastated. Her usual composure was completely shattered.Behind her, agents were restraining one of their own. A man in FBI uniform was bleeding from his shoulder. His hands were cuffed behind his back.Damien recognized him immediately from briefings. Agent Carson Miller. A fifteen-year veteran of the bureau. Torres stepped into the panic room and her voice didn't sound cheerful. "Miller has been feeding information to the Believers for weeks. Safe house locations, witness statements, surveillance operations. Everything."Simone gasped and pulled Emma closer. Ashley stared in shock. The twins had finally quieted but now sensed the new tension."He's Believer 4," Torres continued. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. "He's been working for them from the inside."Damien felt rage building in his chest like a volcano about to erupt. This man had betrayed everyone. Because of him, Damien'
CHAPTER 152
Agents moved immediately into defensive positions throughout the facility. Their training kicked in and they spread out to cover all entry points with weapons drawn.Torres pushed Damien toward the interior room where Simone, Emma, Ashley, and the twins were gathered. "Move now. Get everyone to the panic room."Emma was crying, terrified by the sudden darkness and chaos. Her small voice called out for her father. "Daddy, what's happening? I'm scared."Ashley held the twins close to her chest. The babies sensed the fear around them and started wailing.Simone struggled to stand despite the doctor's orders. Maternal instinct overrode everything else. She would not lie helpless while her family was in danger."Stay down," Damien said urgently. He helped her to her feet anyway, knowing she would not listen. "We need to move quickly."Damien pulled them all toward the most secure room at the center of the facility. A reinforced panic
CHAPTER 151
Damien showed the text to Torres immediately. His hand trembled as he held the phone out for her to read the threatening message from Believer 7.Torres took the phone and studied the text carefully. Her jaw tightened. "I'll start tracing this immediately but I already know it will lead nowhere. These people are too sophisticated."She handed the phone to a cyber specialist who began running traces and analyzing metadata. Torres turned back to Damien with serious eyes."We need to discuss options," she said. "This threat is credible. They just sent a professional assassin after Marcus. They're not bluffing."They moved to a conference room in the safe house facility. Torres pulled up files on her laptop while Damien sat across from her feeling exhausted."I suggest moving the entire family to a federal safe house indefinitely," Torres said. "You, Simone, Emma, Ashley, the twins, and Marcus all in one secure location until we identify
CHAPTER 150
Damien pushed Marcus to the ground just as the knife slashed through the air where Marcus's back had been seconds before. They hit the grass hard and rolled together.The attacker stumbled from the missed strike but regained his balance quickly. He turned on Damien with cold, emotionless eyes. No anger, no hesitation. Just calculation.This was not a random criminal. This was a professional hired to kill. His movements were controlled and efficient. Every step was intentional.Marcus lay on the ground beneath Damien, staring in shock. His eyes were wide and his breathing came in short gasps. "What's happening?"The attacker raised the knife again. The blade glinted in the afternoon sun. He moved toward them faster this time.Damien scrambled backward, pulling Marcus with him. His hands searched for anything to defend himself with. His fingers closed around a rock from the garden border.He threw it hard, hitting the man's sh
