CHAPTER 79: Justice must be served!
Kyler sat in the living room and let every word Lisa was saying find its way in. He was listening. All of it was registering. But underneath the surface of the conversation, his mind was running on a completely different track. Whatever Karlus was travelling to that state to do it was not purely about Edmund and Kyler knew that with a certainty that sat heavy in his chest. Lisa had not stopped talking. “So while he is away I will be the one overseeing everything at the company. He trusts me with it completely and I am not going to let him down.” She said it with a specific kind of satisfaction. Mrs Park was pressed into the corner armchair the way she always was at this hour. Her small frame fitted that chair like the two of them had reached an agreement over the years. Her eyes were softer than they used to be, the sharpness that had been in them when Kyler and Lisa were growing up had gentled with age, but they still caught things. She smiled at Lisa’s words and it was a gen
CHAPTER 78: Untouchable
“Sir you cannot let those reporters keep dragging your name like that. The whole city has its eyes on you right now and they are waiting to see what your next move is going to be.” Karlus did not even turn his chair toward Cole when he spoke. He sat behind the desk looking out at the city through the wide office window and the smile on his face had not shifted since he walked through that door. Cole watched him from across the room. There was something different about Karlus today and he could not immediately place what it was. It was not the forced composure of a man holding himself together under pressure. It was something more settled than that. Cole stepped closer to the desk. “Sir are you actually listening to me right now? Do you understand what people in this city are saying about this company? About you? The reporters outside the mansion this morning were just the beginning. This is going to get worse before it gets better if we do not address it properly.” Karlus
CHAPTER 77: The question he could not answera
The morning light hit the Reeds' mansion but it did not land the way it used to. It came down dull and flat across the building, the kind of light that does not warm anything it touches. The mansion stood there under it looking like a place that had forgotten what it was supposed to be. The flowers along the entrance that Nelson’s father had planted years ago were overgrown and untended. The windows that used to catch the morning sun and throw it back across the grounds in warm gold were grey and unremarkable now. Since Nelson left that building everything that made it feel alive had left with him. The smiling faces of the staff who had spent years learning every corner of that house were gone. The small sounds of the morning that used to fill the grounds, birds in the trees, the distant movement of workers starting their day, all of it replaced by the heavy presence of military-trained security men who moved through the property with their hands ready and their eyes on everything
CHAPTER 76: Under the table
“This was all my fault. I am really sorry for the damage I have caused.” Nelson’s head was facedown as he spoke. His voice carried the weight of everything sitting on him and he was not trying to hide it. The remorse in it was real and it came through in every word. Nathan was quiet for a moment. When he finally spoke his voice was low and still carrying everything the last few hours had done to it. “Nobody is to be blamed for any of this Nelson. This is what Karlus wanted. He set this whole thing up and he used people inside here to execute it.” He paused and took a slow breath. “Just imagine if that fork had reached me. That would have meant Karlus finally won. But it did not reach me. And that means we are still standing.” He looked ahead at the yard. “We have to be more careful from now on. We do not know who the next target might be or when the next move will come. But we have to stay together and stay sharp. That is the only way we protect each other in here.” Nelson nodd
CHAPTER 75: They Will Bleed For This
The whole cafeteria erupted. Inmates moved in every direction at once, pushing away from the centre of the room, nobody wanting to be close enough to catch a stray anything in the chaos that had just broken out. The noise was immediate and full, filling every corner of the space. Scorpion’s men had already started finding ways out. Slipping through the crowd, heads down, moving fast and quietly, the way people move when they know they have just been part of something that is going to have consequences and they want as much distance between themselves and it as possible. The one who had done the stabbing was gone before most people had even processed what had happened. Nathan raised his head slowly. He was breathing. He could feel that. Lungs working, air moving, everything functioning the way it was supposed to. But something felt wrong and it was not coming from his body. It was coming from somewhere beside him. He looked down. One of his own men had his hand pressed hard agai
CHAPTER 74: Beside you!!
“If you even lay a finger on him you will regret the very day you ever came to this prison.” Scorpion’s hand froze in midair. His eyes widened for just a split second before he caught himself. Sweat that had not been on his face a moment ago was already finding its way down his jaw. The voice that cut through the cafeteria did not need to be loud to do what it did. It was composed and deep and carried the specific kind of authority that did not ask for respect. It just received it. Scorpion did not turn around immediately. He already knew who was behind that voice and turning too fast would show something he was not willing to show in front of this many witnesses. But the rest of the cafeteria had already reacted. The noise that had been filling the room dropped away completely. Inmates who had been slouched over their trays sat up straight without being told to. Conversations that had been going mid-sentence just stopped. Even the air in the room felt different. Nathan had not
