You need rest”She had been trying to talk Tara out of leaving the hospital Tara ignored her, she brush pastI know my limits. I will be fine”She didn’t care about anyone’s rulesControl was hers, always had beenShe would leave if she wanted, besides she felt strong and healthy ***About that same time, Leon was speeding to get Victor medical attention “Check his pulse, shit!” Leon half shouted overtaking a heavy duty truck in front “Boss, I can’t feel it” Jake’s voice sounded Leon’s grip tightens on the steering wheelThe hospital lights appeared in the distance it was too far away

“Your son, he…he” his voice sounded like he was panicking Raina’s eyes widened “He what!?”Her heart skippedJake’s voice then came tight, controlled, cutting through her shock“He is seizing” Raina’s chest droppedThis was what she had been avoidingWhat she had dreaded every secondNow it was happening, when Victor was finally safe “We are already headed to the hospital. Meet us there. I will send you the location”The earpiece hummed and disconnectedRaina didn’t move immediatelyHer hands only shook slightly, then she gritted her teeth Turned on her car and zoomed out of the warehouse premises ***TEN MINUTES EARLIER Leon sat in the driver’s seat as he drove out from the woods He didn’t need to wait around to know how it will end He already knew the end The warehouse mission doneHe had sent the police department and email, stating he had the location of the John Avery’s accomplice Just like predicted, the police followed through They arrived right in time, securing the

The Don raised his hands, eyes wide Not in surrender, but disbelief. His mind was racing He hadn’t counted on Raina, on anyone outsmarting him this thoroughly “What’s the status. Do you copy?” he barked into his phone, to his men stationed at the primary location No responses They were supposed to be the watch guards now they were unreachable The Don’s men had their gun on Raina but she didn’t flinch this time She kept her aim locked, this time she knew she wasn’t alone, the police were approaching Most especially her son was safe Raina blurted out “Game is over!” Two of the Don’s men kept trying the doors for an escapee route for him but nothing Raina smiled just a little, at the Library raid the Don had slipped away This time Leon already knew he would do same so securing the exits was a very smart move The Don’s face twisted in fury at Raina’s word “I rule the game and I say when it’s over or not!” he shouted “I will make sure everyone here pays!” “Boss, it’s

Back in the warehouse, Raina’s neck burned where the Don’s man held herHer hands were forced behind her, gun wrestled from her gripHer pulse thundered as sweat rolled down her temple, but her mind raced with Leon’s voice in her ear.“Raina. Don’t give him a chance, I can’t come help you now…”She gritted her teeth that meant she had to buy herself timeShe had to stay alive, stay smartThe Don leaned casually against a stack of dusty cratesHis eyes cold, scanning her like she was already defeated“You blink twice when you are ready to apologize for pointing your gun at me, then he will let go” he said, voice silky but sharpApologize?

Back in the warehouse, the smirk on the Don’s face was annoying to RainaHe took another step backward when clearly she had told him not to moveThe rage inside of Raina was boiling up, if she shoot the Don, his men would shoot at herRaina’s eye darkened with fear and furyIf she couldn’t get her son, if she couldn’t save him then what was the point?Her hands shook, the gun trembling in her grip“We might as well all die today!” Raina spat her eyes didn’t leave the Don, not for a second “The only person that was suppose to die is her” the Don pointed at Kendra who was standing there with her hands cuffed “You should have just killed me yourself instead of involving the detective and her son” Kendra spoke up “She caused this, she was digging into the case”“My partner, Harris had sleepless night for this case before he died, the last thing I promised him was to find the people behind it!” Raina said between clenched teeth “Now you found us didn’t you-this is the first shipment th
