CHAPTER 102 PART 2
"Holloway ambushed us on the highway. The truck was destroyed. The weapons, the antivenom, the coins, all of it went up in a fireball."Mercer stared at him for three full seconds. His face went through confusion, disbelief, and finally a slow curdling anger."You lost everything." His voice dropped to a growl."Not everything." Sean reached into his jacket and pulled out the black gold card. "The casino gave me this. Permanent VIP access to the Blackstone market. It gives an eighty eight percent discount on all purchases."Mercer's eyebrows jumped. "Eighty eight percent?""And the antidotes were locked in the truck's safe. I'm hoping the steel survived. We can dig them out after the snow melts."Mercer rubbed his face with both hands. Before he could answer, a stiff voice cut across the courtyard."This is exactly what I warned about, Colonel."Major Brenner marched out of the command building with his chin raised and his boots stamping on the frozen ground. He was a tall, narrow man
CHAPTER 102 PART 1
Holloway stood perfectly still in the middle of the ruined highway with his head tilted like a wolf listening to a rabbit breathe. His men waited behind him, afraid to make a sound."There." His voice was a low rasp as he pointed at a patch of snow forty meters to the left. "Something moved under there. I heard a shovel scrape against ice."Night Lion squinted at the empty white ground. "Boss, I don't hear anything.""That's why I'm the boss." Holloway snatched the heavy machine gun from the nearest gunner and swung the barrel toward the spot. "Move."The gun roared and tore the snow apart in a long thundering burst. Ice chips flew into the air like glittering knives, and the ground shook with every round.Ten meters below, Sean felt the bullets chew through the roof of his tunnel. A shower of frozen debris rained across his shoulders, and he threw himself flat against the wall.Good ears. I'll give him that.He pulled a handful of electronic detonators from his dimension and pressed
CHAPTER 101 PART 2
The ridge erupted. Rockets screamed across the highway and slammed into the empty road where the truck had stood. Machine guns chewed through the snow in long thunderous bursts, and snipers poured rounds into every shadow.The explosions were so loud that the ground shook, and a fireball rolled into the sky.Holloway stood in the middle of it, laughing like a madman, his arms spread wide. "That's what happens to rats who bite the hand that feeds them! Burn it all!"Beneath three feet of powder, Sean crawled through the snow toward a faint heat signature. His fingers found a gloved hand, and he dragged Mara down into a pocket of packed ice.She spat snow and glared at him, her braid coming loose, her cheeks flushed red with cold and fury."You threw me." Her voice shook with anger. "Like a bag of laundry. Into a snowbank.""You're welcome." Sean brushed ice from her shoulder. "You'd rather I left you standing in front of thirty six snipers?"Mara opened her mouth to argue, then closed
CHAPTER 101 PART 1
Forty two red dots crawled across the windshield like a swarm of angry insects. They climbed the glass, slid over the hood, and settled on Sean's chest and Mara's forehead."Two heavy machine guns on the north ridge." Mara's voice was low and tight, her eyes tracking the dots without moving her head. "Six rocket launchers spread across the snowmobiles. And thirty six snipers on the banks."Her knuckles were white on the steering wheel, and her jaw was clenched hard enough to crack a walnut."Forty two shooters for two people." Sean tilted his head and counted the dots like a man counting change. "Holloway really does love me."Sean looked at the truck's armor, the blast vests in the back, the helmets on the seat. None of it would last ten seconds against that much firepower. The cargo bed was packed with grenades and ammunition, and one rocket would turn the whole truck into a fireball.Hide in the dimension and I come out facing the same snipers. Show the dimension and I'm dead anywa
CHAPTER 100
The armored truck rolled out of the Blackstone Trading Center's service tunnel at 0400 hours, its headlights cutting through the frozen darkness of Via Prenestina like twin blades. Sean sat in the passenger seat. Mara drove.The cargo bed behind them was loaded heavy. Two belt fed machine guns in padded crates. Four cases of fragmentation grenades. Six antivenom kits from the casino's medical supply.A sealed ammunition crate containing enough rounds to sustain a firefight for three days.And tucked into Sean's jacket pocket, a black gold VIP card granting permanent access to the Blackstone Casino, gifted by the house manager who had watched the most legendary operator in the casino's history get beaten by a man in a blindfold."Eight hundred gold coins in winnings." Mara glanced at Sean from the driver's seat, her face lit by the dashboard glow. "Plus weapons, antivenom, and a VIP card. Not bad for one night.""I also got a nice workout." Sean flexed his right hand. "The roulette was
CHAPTER 99 PART 2
Sean's right hand bypassed the first three jars without hesitation and plunged straight into the fourth. His fingers closed around the brass token at the bottom. Cool air. No scales. No movement. Nothing but clay and metal.He pulled his hand out and held the token up, still blindfolded.Across the table, Ghost Hand's right hand had gone into the second jar. He was relying on what he always relied on: his legendary hearing. His fingers were trained to detect the faintest vibration, the tiniest scrape of scales against ceramic, the whisper of a tongue testing the air. In twenty matches, those ears had never failed him.His hand entered the jar.For half a second, there was silence.Then a sharp, sickening sound of scales rustling against clay. A rapid sliding, scraping hiss that filled the ceramic chamber like a zipper being pulled at high speed.Ghost Hand's fingers froze inside the jar.The strike was instantaneous. A wet, snapping impact followed by the grinding pressure of fangs si
