Decisions. They had the power to change the course of a man’s life. Cristan hadn’t always made good choices. There was one in particular that stood out in his mind, a night that he could still picture as clearly as a movie in high-definition. The night he’d made the choice from which there was no return.

He spent his early years working with the horses, growing stronger, and training to be one of Franco’s fighters. His duties had gradually increased in scope. He went from being a lookout to a soldier. By the time he turned twenty-one, Christopher was fully integrated into Franco’s private army.

AK-47s were the milk and bread of the arms trade. Lightweight, reliable, and abundant, Kalashnikovs accounted for twenty percent of firearms worldwide. Franco had sold a few crates of AKs to a Buenos Aires gang. Unfortunately, the gang had undergone a recent change in command. The new leadership, short on money and overflowing with ego, had ordered the ambush of the delivery, shooting Franco’s men and demanding a payment renegotiation.

The last thing Christopher had wanted to do that night was drive into Buenos Aires to shake down a drug lord. Eva had been due to return to school the following day. He didn’t fully understand what had grown between them over the past nine years. Companionship, camaraderie. Passion. Whatever it was, they understood each other, and when she was gone, he felt empty. He’d wanted to spend their last night together on a midnight ride on the pampas, not chasing drug dealers through a sprawling urban slum.

But what could he say? He and Eva had kept their relationship hidden. Once Eva graduated from college in a few months, they planned to bring her father in on their secret.

The alley had smelled of paco, a toxic cocaine by-product that two boys had been smoking. Both of the teens would likely be dead within the year. Standing at the entrance, he was hit hard with guilt. Franco had saved him from a similar fate. How could Christopher begrudge his benefactor anything he asked?

Franco had two objectives when a deal went awry: recoup his merchandise and make a statement. He was a hands-on leader. His team of well-armed, well-trained men swept through the dealer’s shantytown headquarters like fire through the pampas. Under Nicolas’s direction, Christopher and Eva went down the alley and crept up the back stairs of a building, where they were instructed to wait for the signal to enter. He tucked his machine gun into his hip and listened for the signal. At the familiar soft whistle, Christopher reached for the doorknob, intending on a silent entry. But Eva swung around him and burst through the door.

Wood smacked wood. Muzzle flashes flared in the dark room as someone opened fire.

Eva!

Christopher dove on top of her, covering her body with his own and pinning her behind the inadequate protection of a half wall. Bullets zinged above their heads. Bits of wood and stucco rained down on his back.

He lifted his head and scanned the dark room.
