CHAPTER 95 PART 2
Meanwhile, across the city at the military base, Darius Kane strode through the underground corridors toward the cell where Mack Richardson had been held.Douglas Canor walked beside him, his expression grim. "War God, I've already reviewed the security footage. There's a seven-minute gap at 2:15 AM where the camera feed goes static. When it comes back online, Richardson is already gone.""Convenient," Darius said flatly."Too convenient," Douglas agreed. "Someone with access to our systems created that gap deliberately. We're running full background checks on everyone who was on duty last night, but—""But if Skyclub has people inside your facility, they'll have covered their tracks thoroughly," Darius finished.They reached Cell 7. The door stood open, the interior empty and pristine.The bedding was neatly made.The small sink and toilet showed no signs of unusual activity. Everything looked completely ordinary except for one critical detail:The prisoner was gone.Darius stepped i
CHAPTER 95 PART 1
Jace stood in the doorway of Suite 7, surveying the carnage with the detached interest of someone reviewing a completed project. Four bodies. Blood everywhere. The scene was perfect—tragic, brutal, exactly what they needed."Wait," Jace said suddenly, holding up a hand to stop Derek from leaving. "I just had a thought.""Sir?" Derek turned back, curious."The family," Jace said, gesturing toward Rebecca and the children's bodies. "We don't actually need to dispose of them yet. In fact, they could be useful."Derek frowned. "How? They're dead, boss. Can't exactly use corpses as leverage.""No, but we can use them as props," Jace explained, his mind clearly working through a new angle. "Think about it. When the War God eventually tracks down Mack—either through investigation or by following the chip signal—what does he expect to find?""Dead bodies?" Derek guessed."Maybe," Jace said. "Or maybe he expects to find Mack reunited with his family, all of them being held hostage. That would
CHAPTER 94 PART 2
They drove in comfortable silence for a while, the city giving way to industrial areas and then to more rural terrain.Eventually, they pulled up to what looked like an abandoned warehouse complex—the kind of place that had once been a thriving manufacturing hub but now sat empty and decaying.Except it wasn't empty at all.Armed guards in tactical gear patrolled the perimeter. Security cameras tracked their approach.The warehouse doors opened smoothly on well-oiled hinges to reveal an interior that had been completely renovated—modern lighting, climate control, security systems that would rival a government facility.This was Skyclub's operational headquarters. One of them, anyway.The organization had multiple locations, but this was the nerve center for the current operation."Welcome home, Mack," Travis said as they pulled into the interior parking area. "Time to meet the boss and get your hero's welcome."Mack stepped out of the SUV, stretching muscles that had been tense during
CHAPTER 94 PART 1
The black SUV moved smoothly through the early morning streets, its windows tinted dark enough to hide the occupants from casual observation.In the back seat, Mack Richardson sat with a satisfied smile playing at his lips—a very different expression from the terrified, broken man he'd been just hours ago in that interrogation room."Beautiful work back there, Mack," said the driver, a heavyset man named Carl who'd been with Skyclub for eight years. "I've seen a lot of operatives in my time, but your performance? That was Oscar-worthy, brother.""Seriously," agreed the passenger, a lean operative named Travis. "When you were begging him not to hurt your family, I actually believed you. And I KNEW it was an act! The tears, the desperation, the way your voice broke—if I didn't know better, I'd have sworn you were really terrified."Mack's smile widened into a grin. "That's because I committed fully to the role. You can't half-ass something like this. Every micro-expression had to be gen
CHAPTER 93 PART 2
Meanwhile, across the city at Villa Number 001, Darius stood on the terrace overlooking the gardens, enjoying the morning sunshine and the peaceful view. The events of the previous night—the ambush, the interrogation, the troubling suspicions about Richardson's confession—weighed on his mind.His phone rang. Douglas Canor's name appeared on the screen."Major General," Darius answered. "What's the report?"Douglas's voice came through tense and urgent. "War God, we have a serious problem. Multiple problems, actually."Darius's expression immediately shifted to full alertness. "Explain.""Richardson's family—his wife and two children at 247 Maple Street—they're gone," Douglas said. "The protection detail I sent arrived at the house twenty-three minutes ago. The front door was locked, no signs of forced entry, but the family has vanished. Beds still warm. Breakfast dishes in the sink. They left recently, maybe within the last hour.""Captured," Darius said flatly."That's our assessment
CHAPTER 93 PART 1
After leaving the medical center with nothing more serious than some bruises and a recommendation to ice her swollen lip, Alessia made her way to her next class.She was late now—the confrontation with Josh and the subsequent intervention by Principal Whitfield had eaten up nearly half an hour.She pushed open the door to the Business Economics lecture hall as quietly as possible, hoping to slip in unnoticed.Professor Anderson barely glanced up from his presentation. "Nice of you to join us, Miss Jackson. Please take your seat."Alessia nodded apologetically and scanned the tiered seating for an empty spot. Her eyes landed on Emma, who was sitting in their usual area, furiously taking notes as Professor Anderson discussed market equilibrium theory.What struck Alessia immediately was how... normal everything seemed. Emma sat there completely absorbed in the lecture, her notebook open, her pen moving across the page, her expression one of focused concentration.Like nothing had happen
