General Carl Gerald watched the siblings embrace, and despite all the pain and death and violence of the night, he felt a small spark of hope.

Two people who had been deeply embedded in Lord Denver's criminal empire had chosen to turn away from that darkness.

Two people who could have chosen death or continued criminality had instead chosen cooperation and the difficult path toward redemption.

General Carl Gerald immediately turned to Sara Gerald, who had finally gotten fully free of her restraints and was standing on somewhat shaky legs.

Despite everything she'd been through the kidnapping, the threats, the violence she managed a small smile.

"You did it, Carl," she said quietly. "You stopped them. You gave them chances to surrender, to choose differently. You tried to save them, even when they were trying to kill you."

    Sara Gerald wiped tears from her eyes, her voice breaking as she spoke."Mrs. Juliet Marcus had a mother. She had a brother. She had a whole life ahead of her. And now she's gone because we trusted you. Because we gave you what you asked for.""I know," Doctor Amos said, and tears began streaming down his own face."I know, and I'm sorry. God, I'm so sorry. That woman, Mrs. Juliet Marcus, she saved General Carl Gerald's life.”“I saw it happen on the livestream, she literally threw herself in front of that bullet.”“And I wish, I truly wish I could tell you who's responsible. But I can't because I don't know!"General Carl Gerald remained silent, his eyes never leaving Doctor Amos's face, searching for any crack in the facade, any hint of deception."There's a new player," Doctor Amos continued, his voice urgent now. "That much is obvious. Someone with resources, with connections, with military training.”“Someone who knew about the burial, who had the capability to launch that kind

    Commander Briggs led them through a series of heavy security doors, each one requiring biometric scans and clearance codes.The facility was designed to hold the most dangerous criminals in the region, and every aspect of its construction reflected that purpose.They descended three levels underground, the temperature dropping noticeably as they went deeper.The walls here were bare concrete, the lighting harsh and institutional. This was where the highest-security prisoners were kept, isolated from the rest of the facility.Doctor Amos's cell was at the end of a long corridor. Two armed guards stood outside, their postures alert and professional. They snapped to attention as General Carl Gerald approached."Open it," General Carl Gerald immediately ordered.The guards exchanged glances, then looked to General Carl Gerald, “Welcome to the penitentiary, General Carl Gerald.” The both of them immediately said as and one of them began the process of unlocking the cell door.The door swu

    The maximum-security facility loomed before them like a fortress of concrete and steel, its high walls topped with razor wire that glinted dully in the gray afternoon light. Guard towers stood at each corner, their occupants watching with vigilant eyes as the Elite Division vehicle approached the main gate.General Carl Gerald sat in rigid silence as they passed through three separate security checkpoints, each one requiring authentication and clearance. His hands were clenched so tightly in his lap that his knuckles had gone white, the only outward sign of the rage that churned inside him like a living thing.Sara Gerald watched her brother with growing concern.She had seen him angry before, had witnessed his fury when dealing with criminals and terrorists, but this was different. This was personal in a way that frightened her. The loss of Mrs. Juliet Marcus had struck him to his core, and she worried about what he might do when confronted with the two prisoners who had set this

    General Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of power and influence as he spoke, Captain Luke immediately nodded and began carrying out the whole instructions, starting from calling the Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency headquarters.Agent Rodriguez immediately stepped forward. "Sir, I'll coordinate with our technical analysis team. We have footage from our drones, body cameras, and the mansion's security systems. We should be able to identify the attackers' equipment, tactics, and potentially their faces even with the masks. It's not much, but it's a start.""Good," General Carl Gerald said with a sharp nod.“You can also add facial recognition running against every criminal database we have access to. International, domestic, military, intelligence—everything. And I want analysis of their weapons and equipment.”“High-end military gear like they were using doesn't just appear out of nowhere. Someone sold it to them, and that trail will lead us somewhere."

    Lieutenant Alex, cradling his own injured arm against his chest, added his voice to the chorus. "General Carl Gerald, we've all lost people in the line of duty. It never gets easier. It never stops hurting. But Mrs. Juliet Marcus wouldn't want you blaming yourself for her choice.”“She wouldn't want you carrying this guilt when there are people out there who need to be brought to justice for what happened here today."General Carl Gerald remained hunched over Mrs. Juliet Marcus's body, his shoulders still shaking with grief. But slowly, very slowly, his sobs began to quiet. His breathing steadied, though his face remained wet with tears."I will never forget this," he said finally, his voice low and filled with steel beneath the sorrow. "I will never forget what she did for me. And I swear, on her grave, that the people responsible for this will pay. Every single one of them will pay with their lives."He stood slowly, his joints stiff, his movements those of a man who had aged years

    General Carl Gerald walked slowly toward Mrs. Juliet Marcus's body, his steps heavy and deliberate, as if each one required tremendous effort.The chaos of the battle had subsided, replaced by an eerie quiet broken only by the crackling of burning vehicles and the distant wail of approaching sirens.He knelt beside her, his knees hitting the cold, hard ground with a dull thud. His hands trembled as he reached out, gently closing her eyes, which still stared unseeing at the gray morning sky. Blood had pooled beneath her head, staining the frozen earth dark red."Mrs Juliet Marcus," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion he rarely allowed himself to show. "Juliet, I'm so sorry. This should have been me. It should have been me lying here, not you."His shoulders began to shake, and then the dam broke. General Carl Gerald, the iron-willed commander who had faced countless battles without flinching, who had stared down crime lords and terrorists without blinking, began to weep. Deep
