Grant kept Valeria in his arms as they continued to watch the young women smiling and laughing while they swam in the ocean. However, when the man watching the women got up and headed for the path to the villas, Grant had to make his move.

“Why don’t you sun for a while? Rest, order us some drinks, and I’ll be right back.” Grant placed a long kiss to her temple before letting her feet touch the soft sand beneath them.

“I can do it,” Valeria said stubbornly, and Grant knew she wasn’t talking about ordering drinks.

“I never thought you couldn’t.” Grant winked and waded out of the ocean. He didn’t look back. He didn’t want Valeria taking that as a sign that she could kill the last target. It wasn’t that Grant wanted to either. But feeling Valeria cry silently almost broke him. And while she said it didn’t bother her, she was wrong. Otherwise she wouldn’t be crying into the Pacific.

Grant grabbed the key to the men’s room and the towel with the gun wrapped inside the folds. What they did wasn’t easy. It wasn’t supposed to be. But they were here because they could do what wasn’t easy. Lizzy, Dalton, Valeria, all of them. They were involved because of a deep drive to protect innocence. To protect vulnerability. To protect those who didn’t know they needed it.

As he put the key into the door, kicked it open, and fired, he knew no one would know he saved two young women that day. No one would know these wicked men would never kill anyone ever again. They wouldn’t be able to sell drugs to children or the weak and desperate. They wouldn’t hurt anyone ever again. And he was fine with that because two women could now live out their lives free from danger. They may go on to save others’ lives, invent the cure for cancer, teach children, or simply raise families of more good people.
