Chapter 183. Vegetative.
However , deep down, he knew why this feeling wouldn't leave him alone. Something was changing inside him. The violence, the action, the adrenaline….it was pulling at him, drawing him in. Even with the danger of the last fight, his blood had rushed and he had felt exhilarated.He was actually enjoying this.The realization scared him. He had never thought of himself as a violent person. He had worked construction and whenever he really fought, it was only when he had to, but he had never craved it. Not like this.And yet, as he stood there in the shadows, his body humming with adrenaline, he couldn't deny the thrill that coursed through him. It was like a drug, addictive and dangerous, and he didn't know if he wanted to stop.Cross was watching him, her eyes sharp and assessing. "You're very quiet Mr Kinai. I thought you would be more chatty….. are you certain your alright?"Saul blinked, forcing himself to focus. "Yeah. Just... thinking."Cross studied him for a moment longer, t

Then explain it to me," Cross said, her voice dropping to something almost gentle. "Help me understand." She softened her face, her eyes becoming imploring.“Help me, help you." But the assailant was too far gone for help.All he did was laugh again, a sound that was more bitter than joyful. "You really are stupid……If you think that I would help you. So, so stupid.""Hey!" Cross's patience was wearing thin. "I'm not playing games with you. Tell me what I need to know, or- ""Or what?" The figure's voice was mocking now. "You'll kill me? Go ahead. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters."Cross opened her mouth to respond, a sharp retort forming on her tongue. But then she stopped. Her jaw tightened, and she let out a long, weary sigh through her nose."This isn't going to work," she muttered, shaking her head slowly. "You're hopeless."The figure beneath shook their head, a sound like a snort coming out from their mask. "Now you realize it? What gave it away?" He giggled to her and Cross
Chapter 181. A Time.
(Five minutes later)It was show time. Well at least it seemed like it, that was what all they hype was for in the first place. The team moved through the darkness like shadows given form, their footsteps silent against the cracked concrete. As trained professionals, this much was a piece of cake but it was also their duty to make sure they went unseen. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, a bit too easy. The loading bay loomed ahead, its massive doors gaping open like the mouth of some great beast, swallowing the pale moonlight that filtered through the clouds.Cross led the way, her movements fluid and precise, her weapon held low and ready. Saul followed close behind, his heart hammering against his ribs, his breath coming in shallow, controlled bursts. The night air was cool against his face, carrying the faint scent of diesel, damp earth and a sour metallic odor that made his stomach tighten.They had studied the layout and had traced every entry point on the schematics whi

It matched the proportion and design of the vans they had encountered in the past: the same boxy shape, the same reinforced frame. Only this one had a different paint job, the dark exterior replaced by a nondescript white.Saul's eyes went serious. There was no mistaking it. The shape, the design, the subtle modifications that made it different from a standard commercial vehicle. This was where they needed to be."That's them," he said, his voice certain. "That's the same type of van."Cross held his gaze for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then she nodded sharply."Contact the other team," she ordered Chen. "Tell them to join the team at the suspected site. We'll meet them there."Chen's fingers flew across the tablet, sending the message. Cross turned to face the rest of the team, her voice low but commanding."We're splitting up. Three of you stay behind and conduct the sweep of this building. Make sure we don't miss anything. Once you're done, join us at the suspected prope
Chapter 179. A Lead.
The corridor stretched before them like the throat of a sleeping beast, dark and narrow and suffocating. Dust motes danced in the thin slivers of light that seeped through cracks in the boarded windows, and the air was thick with the smell of decay and neglect: old machinery, rust, and the faint, musty odor of water damage that had been left to fester for years.Saul closely behind Cross, his footsteps silent against the cracked concrete floor as they walked through. The tactical gear felt familiar now, the weight of it a constant presence that he had grown accustomed to over the long hours of the mission. His night vision goggles were pushed up on his forehead, unnecessary in the dim daylight that filtered through the grime-caked windows.His nose throbbed beneath the medical tape, a dull, persistent ache that he had learned to ignore. The painkillers the medic had given him were wearing off, and he could feel the swelling pressing against the tape with every heartbeat. But he pu

The next few hours were a blur of activity.The medic had set Saul's nose with quick, efficient hands, his movements brisk and professional. He had taped it down with medical tape, warned him not to touch it, and sent him on his way with a packet of painkillers and a stern look.Kim had hovered nearby the entire time, her worry palpable. She had watched the medic work with a hawk-like intensity, ready to intervene if she thought he was being too rough.When the medic was done and Saul was standing again, she had taken his arm and guided him to a quiet corner of the building."You should sit down," she said. "Rest. You've been through a lot."Saul shook his head. "I'm fine. I need to get ready. We're moving out soon.""Moving out?" Kim's brow furrowed. "Where?""To search the properties. The teams are going to scout the remaining Hugh properties tonight." Saul paused, meeting her eyes. "I'm going with them."Kim opened her mouth to protest, then closed it again. She had seen the look i
