Chapter 107
The warehouse reeked of sweat, blood, and rusting metal. Overhead lights buzzed and flickered, casting shadows that moved even when no one did. At the far end of the room, Iron Hand stood with his back to the entrance, arms folded behind him like a general preparing to execute a traitor.Mad Tiger limped in, shirt ripped, face bruised, and one eye already swelling shut. His boots crunched over broken glass, but he didn’t dare make a sound beyond that.Iron Hand didn’t turn. “Four days.”Mad Tiger swallowed. His mouth tasted like copper and failure. “I’ve been tracking him—”“Four days,” Iron Hand said again, quieter this time. “That’s how long it’s been since he slipped through your fingers. You lost him. You lost her. And you lost our leverage.”“I was ambushed,” Mad Tiger said. “There were others—”“I don’t care if the Avengers dropped in with tanks,” Iron Hand barked, spinning around. His eyes were steel. “You had one job. One.”Mad Tiger opened his mouth to respond, but the back o

The room stank of sweat, iron, and incense that burned too thick. Candles flickered along the concrete walls, throwing wild shadows that danced like ghosts. And in the center of it all, Mad Tiger knelt—head bowed, lip bleeding, shirt clinging to his back with sweat.Iron Hand stood over him, silent.Too silent.Which was always worse than yelling.Mad Tiger’s fingers twitched against the floor, itching to reach for the blade at his hip, but he knew better. Iron Hand didn’t tolerate mistakes. And this wasn’t just a mistake.This was Davion.Gone. Escaped. Alive.Iron Hand’s boots clicked once as he paced, gloved fingers flexing like he was warming up to break something.“Two days,” he said finally, voice low and flat. “Two days since the altar fell. Since the girl was taken from the offering table. Since Davion—” he spat the name like poison “—slipped through your hands again.”Mad Tiger didn’t speak.“I trusted you,” Iron Hand continued, his voice rising. “I let you lead the retrieval

Beverly’s phone buzzed nonstop. Notifications, alerts, missed calls, reposts. Her video from the tower had exploded. Ten thousand views in an hour. Twenty thousand by the time they hit the next town. The truth was out, and the world was watching.But with truth came fire.“We can’t stay in one place too long,” Davion said, steering the beat-up sedan they “borrowed” from a shady gas station. His knuckles were white on the wheel. “They’re gonna come for us.”“They already are,” Reika muttered from the backseat, eyes scanning every car that passed. She had her bow wedged between her knees and a GoPro strapped to her chest.Wilson was riding shotgun, swiping through feeds. “Half the internet thinks we faked it. The other half is calling it ‘proof of the cult uprising.’ And then there’s this weirdo who thinks Bev’s some chosen goddess.”Beverly groaned. “Ugh, I didn’t ask for a fan club.”“You did punch a high priest in the face while bleeding out. That’s kind of iconic.” Wilson grinned.D

The forest swallowed the remnants of moonlight, turning their soaked figures into silhouettes against the dark underbrush. Beverly leaned on Davion’s arm, each of them breathing like runners at the finish line—exhausted, raw, and alive.“Are we… safe?” she whispered, voice like a trembling leaf.Davion didn’t answer fast. He scanned the forest, chest rising and falling. The adrenaline still buzzed through him. Our fight’s just beginning, his eyes seemed to say. Finally, he nodded. “For now.”Wilson groaned, leaning backs against a gnarled tree trunk. He pressed a bloody cloth to his side. “Ribs,” he muttered. “Worth it.”Reika crouched nearby, her bow drawn but eye gentle. “Anyone see movement?”“No one,” Davion said. “We cleared the lake. They’ll think that was it—fresh chaos and we disappeared into the night.”Beverly shivered. Her teeth chattered, but the cold didn’t numb her fire. “They won’t stop, though. We hit them, but they’ll come back.”“Then we hit harder,” Davion replied.

The internet burst into flames when Beverly hit post. Notifications exploded. Comments poured in—some supportive, some hateful. But Davion didn’t wait for responses. He loaded a rifle borrowed from a hidden compartment under the cabin floor.“You ready?” he murmured.Beverly’s voice shook, but her grip never wavered. “Always.”Lightning cracked overhead as the storm rolled in, perfect cover. Rain pelted the lake-house windows. They bolted up the stairs, Davion’s rifle heavy in his arms, Beverly’s sidearm ready.“Eyes open,” he hissed, pushing the door open.Silence. Too quiet.Then, a thump. Someone behind the cabin. Davion ducked, Beverly dropping low behind him.Out of the shadows, figures sprinted—black-clad, faces covered. More than ten of them.“Shit,” Davion hissed. He fired into the darkness—one shot, two shots. A man crumpled. Spray of water and dirt.Beverly squeezed the trigger. Another attacker went down.The cult had found them fast.Davion vaulted over a railing, stepping

The car ride back to town was mostly silent, except for the squeaky wipers smearing rain across the windshield. Beverly gripped the steering wheel like it owed her something—like if she let go for even a second, everything would fall apart again.Davion sat in the passenger seat, head leaned against the cold window, hoodie soaked through. His breathing had evened out, but she could still see the way his fingers twitched—like his body hadn’t realized it was safe yet.“You okay?” she asked, not looking at him.“Define ‘okay,’” he murmured.She smirked, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “You hungry?”“Starving. But I don’t think I can taste anything that’s not adrenaline or blood.”“We’ll get you a burger or something. Grease fixes a lot.”They pulled into a gas station parking lot that smelled like wet asphalt and old fries. Beverly ran inside and came back with a hoodie two sizes too big, a bag of snacks, and a Gatorade. Davion stared at her like she’d hung the moon.“You steal this hoodie
