She stepped out with Elijah, who looked around in confusion, trying to understand where they were.During the drive over, he had tried to get her to tell him where they were going, but she had kept her attention on the road the entire way without a word. Since she seemed to have a lead on her father’s disappearance, he could only follow quietly behind her.They entered

“Tiff, what are you doing?” Sophia lowered her own weapon and pushed forward through the formation toward them.Tiffany’s jaw was tight, the words forcing themselves out through clenched teeth. “He’s a practitioner. Just like them.”“Lower your voice, Tiff.” Sophia reached her quickly, placing a hand over the gun and easing it down. “You knew?”“We need his help. Don’t ever raise your firearm at Julius again.” Sophia’s tone was firm.This was not the first time her friend had pointed a gun at this man.Tiffany’s face twitched hard, but she said nothing further.“Hey, Tiff.” Sophia placed a hand gently on her shoulder. “The medical team has arrived. They’ll take care of you.”Tiffany didn’t respond right away. She held a cold, lingering stare on Elijah for a long moment before turning and walking away without another word.Sophia turned back to her team. They were all still frozen, their faces carrying various looks of confusion as they watched the criminals crawling across the floor

The burly man’s fist clenched. “What nonsense is this? Are you not some kind of police negotiator?”“No. But I can negotiate your life and death right here. I can’t technically kill you today, so life and bones it is.” Elijah raised his brows slightly, almost playfully.One of the shirtless men shoved forward through the crowd, furious. “Who is this clown?!” He stomped a foot and charged ahead. “Let me show him exactly what life and death look like.”The man closed the distance at a speed faster than any ordinary human could, but before his fist could land, Elijah’s hand moved from behind his back.Slam!One moment, it had been tucked away. The next, it was buried in the charging man’s face. He was sent flying sideways, several of his teeth scattering out alongside a thick spray of blood. His body crashed into the floor and skidded several feet.Only when he hit the ground did the rest of the men fully register what had just happened. Their eyes moved slowly from the unmoving body bac

Sophia had regrouped with the other officers outside, and even those who had remained on standby drew in close, trying to make sense of what had just happened. The officers who had gone into the warehouse had been cut nearly in half. The ones who made it back out were not the same men who had walked in. Only the Chief stood untouched, the only one not carrying blood somewhere on her uniform.That was when Officer George came running from the rear of the warehouse, with only three officers trailing behind him. None of them carried their shields or rifles anymore, and their faces were swollen and bruised. One man’s arm hung at an angle no arm should bend.“Chief, we had to abort. My radio fell off; I couldn’t tell you.” George spat blood onto the ground as he spoke, doubling over slightly.Sophia didn’t need the words to know the second team had been ambushed too. Their numbers had been cut down to this. But then something else hit her.Her face went ashen. “Where is Tiff?!”George st

Bam!The SWAT officers slammed the doors open with the front edge of their shields, revealing the dark interior of the warehouse beyond. They moved in as one coordinated unit, the riflemen pouring through directly behind them.Sophia drew her pistol from her side and moved in low behind the wall of shields. Elijah followed quietly at her back.Inside, the warehouse opened into rows of heavy-duty steel racking that stretched from one side of the building to the other. The racks towered high enough that their tops nearly brushed the ceiling. The shelves were densely packed with crates and stacked boxes, leaving only narrow walking passages between each row. The passages funneled toward the open center of the warehouse somewhere ahead, currently lost in shadow.Sophia’s radio crackled again. George’s voice came through low and tense. “Chief, suspects not in sight at our position. We’re going to proceed through to the main part of the warehouse.”“Same here. Move in, George.”Elijah’s h
Chapter 588
Sophia moved back toward the waiting SWAT squad and the line of regular officers gathered in front of the warehouse. Elijah followed closely at her side. The standing officers gave him narrow, curious glances as they passed, clearly wondering who the ordinarily dressed civilian walking beside their Chief was supposed to be.Among them stood Officer Tiffany, and her expression twisted the moment her eyes landed on the one person she had not expected to see today, let alone walking next to her friend.She crossed the distance toward them quickly, her voice carrying louder than it needed to. “You! What are you doing here?”“Tiff, Julius is with us.” Sophia stepped in immediately, cutting off whatever was about to follow.Tiffany nearly stomped her foot. “Huh? I don’t understand you, Boss. He should be sitting in a jail cell right now for thinking he can take the law into his own hands.” How could she forget what this insolent civilian had done? Putting Sophia in harm’s way, and causing

“Hmm.” Her expression lifted with a look of mild interest. “Are you looking to thank the person who helped save your boss? You must be a very good employee.”“Good people have to be appreciated to do more good,” Elijah told her with the same calm tone.Sophia nodded slowly. “I agree with that, Julius. About the caller...”“Chief Sophia.” An officer appeared from the side and paused when he saw the man standing with her.“Go ahead,” she told him.He hesitated briefly, then spoke. “We have confirmed that all five suspects are inside the warehouse with the jewelry.”“Have the team stand by for my instructions.”The officer nodded once and left.Sophia turned back to Elijah. “Julius, you haven’t forgotten my offer to you, have you?”There was no reaction from him. He had expected from the start that she would eventually go in this direction.She didn’t wait. “You have a sense of justice, even if you won’t admit it. There is more you can do than walk around as a concerned citizen in Brookl
