Government officials.
Enough evidence to destroy powerful people across multiple countries.
Ryan’s voice cracked.
“My father was going to kill her eventually.”
Ethan stared at the files silently.
Then his phone vibrated.
Unknown encrypted number.
He answered.
A familiar military voice spoke immediately.
“Carter, listen carefully. You’ve been flagged.”
Ethan’s expression hardened.
“What happened?”
“The Graves family has federal protection.”
Ryan’s face drained of color.
The voice continued:
“Someone very high up ordered us to stand down.”
Ethan slowly stood.
“How high?”
A pause.
Then:
“Washington.”
Ryan whispered:
“Oh my God…”
The military voice lowered further.
“You need to disappear now. They’re sending people after you.”
A loud explosion suddenly rocked the apartment building.
Windows shattered.
Ryan screamed.
Ethan grabbed him instantly and dragged him to the floor.
Gunfire erupted outside.
Professional.
Controlled bursts.
Not street criminals.
Operators.
Ethan’s eyes sharpened instantly.
He peeked through the shattered window.
Black SUVs.
Suppressed rifles.
Tactical movement.
This wasn’t Harold Graves anymore.
Someone bigger had entered the game.
Ryan stared at Ethan in horror.
“Who are those people?”
Ethan’s expression turned grim.
Then he answered quietly:
“Men trained exactly like me.”
The apartment lights suddenly died.
Darkness swallowed the room.
And from the hallway outside…
Slow footsteps approached the door.
