I’ve never regretted a decision I’ve made quite like this.

There’s a heaviness in my stomach that makes me feel like I’ve damned her to a lifetime of suffering. And all for what? I could have found any other way to gain evidence against Vitale. Why did I have to choose the most selfish one?

Fortunately, I had made a contingency plan for the event that things went just as sideways as they have. I didn’t believe that the plan could fail like this at the time that I was putting it together, but only because I’ve always found myself three steps ahead of my opponents. I had hired Vitale when he was in his twenties. I thought I knew him inside and out. That was the only way I could have trusted him the way I did.

And, of course, my ego got in the way. Now Iris might be hurt or on her way to an early death, and Vitale will continue to manipulate, use, and discard these women under my name.

“Everything is ready to go, sir. I made sure that everyone had the weapons you’d assigned to them, and now all we need is the go-ahead from you,” Leonardo says as he stands in the doorway of my office.

It’s incredibly painful to pull myself away from the monitor where I can hear Iris’s wire, even if it’s been stripped from her by now. I’m shocked that it hasn’t been cut, but I’ll take it as an advantage for now.

Hearing her weeping has been the hardest thing about this. She sounds muffled by something, but it’s evident that she’s under significant stress. I haven’t heard anything that makes me think that she’s been injured yet, at least not with any lasting damage.

Mentally and emotionally, I’m not so sure.

I don’t even think there’s anything I can do for her to bring her back from this. I’m positive that an apology won’t cut it. For now, I need to focus on saving her ass so that I even get the opportunity to fuck up an apology. This situation is so unique that it’s difficult to compartmentalize what’s important to stress about and what isn’t.

We load up the armored trucks, just like we’d planned and prepared for. If there’s anything I can trust my men to do right the first time, it’s assemble to fight my enemies when I need them to save my ass. I’ll be leading the fleet, of course, but I’d be shot dead in three seconds if I were to show up by myself. If I can’t make it up to Iris, maybe I can make it up to my men if we make it out alive.

The feeling of the gigantic tires humming along the pavement adds an unnerving drone to the silence inside. Nobody ever talks during the drives for these missions, and sometimes I wish they would. Talk to each other about your girlfriend that you hate or how shitty your fantasy football league is. I don’t care. Just give me some indication that you’re confident and unafraid.
