215: Got you
Something suddenly clicked in his head. He tapped his comm. “Phantom, Shadow, overhead lighting, now!”“On it.”Moments later, every light in the warehouse shut off completely and everywhere became dark.Phantom moved like a ghost in the pitch black, his night-vision goggles flickering green. Gunfire broke out but Mark’s men didn’t even know where it came from. One by one, their rifles became silent.Shadow was pure death in the dark. Every step he took was silent. You only knew he was there when you heard a body drop.Felix’s mind flashed back to the orphanage. He remembered the cold floor. He remembered the hands that shoved him. The boy who took each blow and kept counting breaths. Felix pushed that old fear into his fists and let it go. He never wanted to be that small again.He spun, ducked, and tackled a shooter who tried to attack him. Just as things were turning in their favor, a drone hummed overhead and a pale light scanned the floor. Phantom cursed. “Fuckkk. Those are dro

Gunfire exploded from above as Phantom opened fire from the rooftop, covering their flank. Shadow rolled behind a crate, pulling out his knife. Silas and Xander dove for cover, returning shots.Jake grabbed Felix by the collar and yanked him down. “MOVE!”Bullets tore through the walls, sparks flying.Mark ducked behind a pillar, laughing even as chaos erupted around him. “Welcome to my world, Felix!”Felix’s teeth clenched as he raised his gun. “Then let’s end it.”The warehouse became a war zone.He ducked behind a pillar as they fired at it, sparks flashing near his face. “Positions!” he shouted over the chaos. “Take cover and return fire!”“On it!” Xander’s voice came through. The lieutenant’s son rolled across the floor, flipping up his rifle. “Shadow, left flank!” Jake barked.Shadow was already gone. The former mercenary slipped through the smoke and vanished behind stacked barrels. Six men came running at him. He slit one’s throat in a blink of an eye, caught the other’s rifl

The sound of Mark’s laughter echoed across the warehouse, bouncing off the cracked walls like a nightmare that refused to die.Felix stood in place, every muscle in his body ready. Jake’s hand twitched near his gun. The others spread out, forming a loose semicircle around Mark.Something was off about Mark. He definitely wasn't the same spoilt brat he knew months ago.“Been a long time, Felix,” Mark stepped closer. “Ahhh...Who would have guessed that the Carlos' houseboy was the son of the quadrillionaire? I was so stupid to not have noticed.”Felix’s eyes darkened, clenching his fists. He didn’t like getting reminded of that. “You haven’t changed at all.”“Oh, I have.” Mark tilted his head. “You just don’t like what I’ve become.”“You mean a stalker?” Jake growled.Mark smirked. “Big words from the guard dog.”Jake’s jaw flexed, but Felix lifted a hand slightly, stopping him.Mark chuckled, his gaze sliding back to Felix. “You know, I still remember the orphanage where you’d hide beh
212: I never left
Shadow straightened. “That’s him?” Jake didn’t blink. “It’s him.” Xander leaned forward. “You sure?” Jake nodded. “Positive. I’ve seen this bastard too many times in the footage. Same height. Same wrist mark.” The Reaper tilted his head slightly. “Where was this taken?” Jake’s fingers flew again. “EastValley city, near an old warehouse district. The cameras caught him three nights in a row, between midnight and two a.m.” “Pattern,” Shadow said simply. “Yeah,” Jake breathed. “He’s staying somewhere near there. Maybe an apartment, maybe a hideout.” The room went quiet for a second. Only the whir of the computers filled the air. Then Silas spoke. “We’ll move tonight.” Shadow hesitated. “We don’t even know what’s inside that warehouse—” Reaper gave him a cold look. “We’ll find out.” Xander cracked his knuckles, a grin flickering across his face. “It’s been a while since we stretched our legs.” Phantom looked up from his earpiece. “Already scanning the area. Minima
211. He was haunted...
“He’s been texting me… weird, scary stuff. He says he’s watching me. Sometimes he describes what I’m wearing, or where I am.” Felix’s hands clenched into fists on the table. “Why didn’t you tell me?!” He couldn’t believe that bastard had the guts to start stalking her again. His face went red from anger. “I didn’t want to worry you,” she said, voice cracking. “You already have so much on your plate, and I thought maybe if I just ignored him, he’d—” “Elsa!” His tone was sharp now. He tried to control it, but he was still furious underneath. “He’s stalking you. That’s not something you keep to yourself!” Her eyes stung with tears. “I know, I just—” He leaned forward, his voice low but trembling with anger. “If anything happened to you—” He stopped himself, shaking his head. “You should have told me the second he texted you. I don’t care how small you think it is. Anyone who scares you, ANYONE, becomes my problem!” The intensity in his voice made her chest ache. He cared so
210: Stargazing: Definitely not a mistake
Felix stood first, brushing his hands against his hoodie. Elsa tilted her head. “Where are you going?” He nodded toward the corner of the observatory. “The telescope. Want to see the stars up close?” Her lips parted slightly, surprised. “There’s a telescope here?” He gave a small nod, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “You’ve been here so many times and never noticed?” She crossed her arms and pouted, but followed him anyway. “I don’t exactly go snooping around at night.” The telescope stood tall near the railing, pointed at the sky. Felix adjusted it with ease. “Here,” he murmured, bending slightly to adjust the angle. “Try looking through it now.” She stepped closer, the soft sound of her socks brushing against the floor. Her fingers lightly rested on the telescope as she leaned forward and peered through the lens. The sight stole her breath. Tiny, glittering stars filled the view. There were so close and sharp, like she could just reach out and touch them. “Oh
