Interrogation
The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting long shadows across the floor. The team sat in a circle, their faces tired, their eyes hollow. The warehouse was gone. The Morettis' operation was crippled. But the victory felt hollow.Damon sat in the corner, staring at his hands. His knuckles were raw. His ribs screamed. His body ached. But his mind was racing.Vincent Moretti was in their custody. They had captured him during the raid. He was bound and gagged in the back room, guarded by Marcus and Elena.But Anthony was still out there. He had escaped again. He was wounded. He was alone. But he was still out there. Still watching. Still waiting.Damon stood up. Walked to the back room. The door was heavy. He pushed it open.Vincent Moretti sat in a chair. His hands were bound behind his back. His face was bruised. His eyes were defiant."Mr. Corso," Vincent said. "I was wondering when you'd come."Damon sat across from him. "You know why you're here."Vincent smiled. A cold, e
Never ending
The gym was quiet. The lights were dim. The team stood in a circle, maps and photographs spread across the canvas of the ring. The air was thick with tension and anticipation.Damon pointed to a location on the map. A warehouse on the south side. The Morettis' main distribution hub. Where they stored their weapons. Their drugs. Their money. The heart of their operation."This is our first target," Damon said. "We hit it tonight. We disrupt their operations. We send a message."Tommy studied the map. His brow was furrowed. "How many guards?""Eight. Maybe ten. They're expecting trouble, but they're not expecting us. Victoria's information says they've been complacent. They think they're untouchable."Cruz stepped forward. "What about the timing?""We hit at midnight. When the shift changes. There's a ten-minute window where the guards are distracted. New arrivals are being briefed. Old guards are leaving. Perfect opportunity."Marcus spoke. "What about Anthony? He's still out there. He
An alliance
Still at the Blackwood Estate ~The woman was calm. Composed. Her cold eyes studied him like he was a puzzle she was trying to solve. The room was silent except for the crackling fire in the fireplace."So," Damon said. "You really are a Draven."Victoria nodded. "My mother was Alistair Draven's sister. She married into the Blackwood family. She was the only one in the family who wasn't corrupt. The only one who tried to do the right thing.""And they killed her for it?"Victoria's eyes flickered. "They killed both my parents. The Morettis arranged it. They wanted the Blackwood empire. They wanted control of the city's underworld. My parents were in the way."Damon was quiet for a moment. "And you've been waiting for revenge ever since.""I've been waiting for someone who could help me take them down." Victoria leaned forward. "I've been watching you, Mr. Corso. I know what you did to the Dravens. I know what you did to the Morettis. I know you have the strength, the will, and the det
Victoria
Damon sat on the steps of the gym, staring at the empty street.The sun was rising. The sky was turning pink and gold. The city was waking up. Cars honked. People shouted. The world kept moving, indifferent to his pain.His body was broken. His ribs screamed. His knuckles were raw. His head pounded. But he couldn't rest. Couldn't sleep. Couldn't stop thinking about Anthony's last words."There's always someone else. Always someone waiting."Damon closed his eyes. Tried to push the words away. But they clung to him like a shadow.Anthony was alive. They had fought. Damon had won. But Anthony had survived. He was out there. Recovering. Planning. Waiting.And there was someone else. Someone Anthony had mentioned. Someone waiting in the shadows.Tommy walked out of the gym. His face was bruised. His eyes were tired. He sat beside Damon."You okay?" Tommy asked."I don't know.""Anthony is gone. He lost. We won."Damon shook his head. "He's not gone. He's alive. He's out there. And he said
Never be over
At the center of the gym, Damon stood staring at the map on the wall.The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting long shadows across the floor. The gym was quiet. The kids were gone. The trainers had left. It was just him and the silence.His phone buzzed. Unknown number."Vincent is dead. He was asking too many questions. You're welcome. — A.D."Damon read the message again. His blood ran cold. Someone was cleaning up loose ends. Someone was trying to protect themselves.But who?He called Cruz. "The fixer is dead. Someone killed him before we could find him."Cruz's voice was sharp. "Who?""I don't know. But whoever it is, they're ahead of us. They're always ahead of us."Cruz was quiet for a moment. "I have a contact. Someone who might know more about the Morettis. He's been underground for years. He knows things.""Where can I find him?""I'll send you the address. But Damon, be careful. This contact isn't like the others. He's dangerous.""I don't care if he's dangerou
The Quiet
The days after the tournament passed. Damon spent most of his time in the gym, healing. His body was a wreck. His ribs were cracked. His leg still ached from the old injury. But he was alive. He was breathing. He was still standing.Lucy stayed close. She sat on the steps of the gym, watching him train. She brought him water. Bandages. Food. She didn't complain. Didn't ask questions. She just stayed.Tommy came by every day. His face was tired. His eyes were worried. But he was smiling. Rachel was getting stronger. The baby was growing. They were planning for the future.Cruz visited every few days. He watched Damon train. Corrected his form. Pushed him harder."You're getting slower," Cruz said."I'm getting older.""Older isn't an excuse."Damon laughed. A broken, hoarse sound. "I know."One evening, Damon sat on the steps of the gym.The sun was setting. The sky was orange and red. The stars were beginning to appear. Lucy sat beside him, her head on his shoulder."Daddy," Lucy sai
