Hours later, an alert on my phone pulls me out of slumber. It’s an urgent message from Jynxson, saying that a truck has pulled up to Harlan Stills’s warehouse. He’s X-Cite Media’s content manager, the one who told us that was where Delta kept servers containing terabytes of illicit pornography, along with data on the members and every asshole who ever rented a snuff movie.

If we want to identify every bastard who directly or indirectly supported Father’s snuff empire, we need to extract those names now, while the information is still accessible.

After giving him permission to intercept, I ease out of bed, careful not to jostle my little ghost, and rush to the door. I wake up Isabel, telling her to watch Amethyst, and change into bullet proof armor.

At this time of the morning, the streets are clear. I race through them in my car, ignoring the speedometer and every red light. Buildings blur past, flashing in and out of existence in the dim pre-dawn light as my car roars down the road.

My mind keeps drifting back to Amethyst, to the way her body molded against mine, the softness of her skin, and the intoxicating scent of her hair. The memory of her ass pressed against me stirs a familiar ache, and I grip the wheel tighter, trying to focus on the road ahead.

I reach the red-light district around the time most sex peddlers retire for the night and stop around the corner from the house. Glancing down at my phone, I find messages telling me that Tyler and his team are already inside, extracting all the useful data.

Slipping out of the vehicle, I walk around the block, keeping my eyes on the surroundings. Shadows stretch out from under the glow of the occasional streetlight, casting ominous silhouettes onto the cracked pavement. Five-story townhouses line both sides of the street, their windows too dark to tell if they’re concealing Father and his cronies, but the moment he knows we’re here, he’ll attack.

As I approach Harlan’s street, I spot the truck in question and take a moment to observe the scene from a safe distance.

Five figures emerge from around the corner, their movements stealthy and calculated. They’re not our operatives. We raid buildings from underground, and Jynxson already confirmed he breached their basement.

Heart pounding, I step back into the shadows and speak into my Bluetooth. “Jynxson, we have uninvited guests. Four, possibly more, approaching the front door.”

“Tyler needs two more minutes to empty the server,” Jynxson answers. “We’ll stall them.”

I unholster my gun and attach a silencer. “No. Evacuate as soon as you get the data. I’ll handle it.”

Approaching the interlopers, I keep to the shadows. They move together in a formation, their bodies tense with anticipation. As they approach the truck, I take aim and fire a single shot towards the nearest man’s exposed throat. The bullet slices through the quiet like a knife. The man drops, leaving his companions exposed.

The remaining men scramble for cover, their movements uncoordinated in the shock of the sudden attack.
