Hugo kicked the door open and tossed a burner phone onto the table. It skidded across the wood, hitting Dominic’s hand."Talk," Dominic snapped. He didn't even look up from the board."Gary Pullan just pinged the dead drop," Hugo said. "Marco is moving. Twelve shooters, three vans. He’s heading for the East Pier."Lina stood up, her chair scraping the floor. "The East Pier? That’s Takahashi’s main hub. Is he fucking insane?""He’s got breaching charges," Hugo said. "He thinks he can blitz the lobby.""Kenji doubled the guards yesterday," Dominic said, finally turning around."Then let him write it," Lina spat. "Kenji will turn them into Swiss cheese before they even hit the gate."Dominic stared at the phone. He didn't punch the wall. He didn't pace. He just looked at the screen with a cold, predatory focus."Dom..." Lina started."He’s my blood," Dominic cut her off. "If he dies at the pier, we look like a joke. The Family looks weak. I’m not letting a bottom-feeder like Kenji have t

Victor shoved the heavy steel shelving into the gap, metal grinding against concrete. He dove behind the barricade just as a hail of lead shredded the air where his head had been a second ago."Hold the line!" Inspector Moss’s voice crackled through the bullhorn. "Don't let him breathe!"Victor checked his rifle. Four rounds. Clack. He popped up and snapped off a shot. The bullet sparked off a tactical shield—useless."That all you got, Moss?" Victor screamed, ducking back as automatic fire chewed his crate into splinters. "My grandmother shoots straighter than your boys!""Drop the gun, Victor!" Moss called back. "You're out of friends and out of luck. Don't make me carry you out in a bag.""Come and try it, you bitch!"Victor pivoted, shoved his barrel through a gap in the steel, and fired blind. A scream erupted from the police line. One down."Target in sight," a sniper’s voice hissed over the radio. "Requesting green light.""Hold," Moss snapped. "I want him in a cell."Victor to

The door nearly came off its hinges. Ella slammed the manila folder onto the desk.Valentina didn't look up. "The Feds pulled the trigger," Ella snapped, her voice like a jagged blade. "You're at the top of the list. They’ve got a formal investigation notice with your name in bold."Valentina finally looked at the folder. The state seal looked like a death warrant. "What’s the damage? Don't sugarcoat it.""Racketeering, wire fraud, and bribery. They’ve got Davis in a safe house," Ella leaned in, her eyes wild. "The rat is singing every note he knows. He’s handing them your head."Valentina slammed the folder shut. Bang. "I should have buried that scumbag months ago. Where’s Kenji?""Takahashi is a ghost," the lawyer muttered from the corner. "His firm just issued a press release. They don't know your name, they don't know your family. He’s cutting you loose to save his own skin."Valentina let out a cold, sharp laugh. "Of course he is. Let the coward run."She stood up, her eyes narr

"Six hours live, Lina. We didn't just leak the data. We broke the goddamn internet. The city servers melted ten minutes ago."Lina leaned in, her eyes locked on the skyrocketing traffic spikes. "Is it hitting him where it hurts?""It's hitting him everywhere," Marvin laughed, a harsh, jagged sound. "London’s running it. Paris is tracking the wire transfers. Tokyo’s financial blogs just posted his Cayman routing numbers. The bastard is bleeding out in real-time."Sophia slammed her tablet onto the desk. Bang. "Look at his stock. Takahashi’s primary holding company just took a vertical dive. Wall Street halted trading, and the suits are screaming."Dominic kicked the door open, dropping coffee onto the table. "Tokyo. What’s the word?""They just cut him loose publicly," Sophia said, her voice sharp with pure malice. "They’re launching an audit by morning. As of right now, they don't even know his name anymore.""They’re throwing him to the wolves," Dominic grunted, racking his rifle. Cl

Leonard Howard couldn't stop his hands from shaking. He yanked his silk tie loose, breathing through the panic.The steel door slammed shut.Chief Prosecutor Miller tossed a thick folder onto the metal table. Thud. "Leonard. Let's talk.""My lawyer is on his way," Leonard rasped, clutching a wet handkerchief. "We wait for him.""Your lawyer is busy watching the Feds strip your Cayman accounts naked," Inspector Moss provoked, leaning against the concrete wall. "You’re on your own, Howard. Your money is gone."Leonard froze. The handkerchief slipped from his fingers."Open the book," Miller ordered, shoving the files into his face.Leonard didn't move."Look at the data, you idiot," Moss snapped.Leonard forced his shaking hand onto the cover, flipping it open. Rows of routing codes and Tokyo proxy servers stared back at him."Dominic Moretti handed us the encryption keys," Miller said, leaning in. "He gave us your entire shadow network.""Dominic is a thug!" Leonard’s voice cracked, hi
