How could it go so wrong? Adnan Kosh banged the steering wheel as he swerved past two trucks. He swore. How had things gone so wrong? He didn’t get it. How could the police be so quickly on the scene? The questions swirled around in his head as he forced himself to ease off the accelerator. If he got caught now, it was all over. He had to regroup, to gather himself. But he couldn’t give up the hunt for Leonid. He had the information about where the two doctors were, and if he couldn’t get to him, all this was in vain. Then he would have to live without getting his revenge.

Sweat ran down his forehead, and he wiped it off. Something had changed within him from the time he was working as an assassin. Back then, he’d been a machine, an infallible killer who always iced his target. But now . . .

He shook his head for some clarity. Someone was to the right of him, and he turned left. He was on the highway heading northeast. Just over a hundred meters in front of him, a red Mercedes accelerated. Leonid was in it.

“Come on now.”

The red Mercedes picked up speed and drove out into the middle lane. Adnan speeded up and put four cars behind. He couldn’t allow himself a hunt now. He had to follow at a safe distance and strike when Leonid got out of the vehicle. He grabbed the phone and scrolled down through the call list. Three signals came out before a voice answered.

“This is Tommy.”

“Where are you?”

“Where you left me, in Pacculi.”

“Okay, go ahead and fly northwest. I’m on the freeway, and I think I could use you soon.”

The whispering sound of the engine increased.

“All right, I’ll see if I can get away. There’s a ton of policemen down in the village. When I leave, I’ll probably get a cop helicopter on my tail.”

Adnan swore. He’d forgotten about the police helicopter. “Okay, do the best you can. If you can shake it off, do it. Then fly northwest. I’ll call you when I need you,” he said.

“Okay.”

Adnan ended the call, and a shiver went through him. It had been a long time since he’d been on a mission, and he’d forgotten how much he loved it. Chaos. Killing. But that life was a young man’s life. He’d left for a reason. He had felt the age come insidiously. He had felt his reflexes become slower, how his muscles reacted a fraction of a second slower than before. All that stuff that needed to work optimally had deteriorated. He swore. But he still had power in him. He’d beaten that Hugo easily. And he would do it again if needed.

The red Mercedes stayed in the lane, and Adnan followed. After a couple of kilometers, Leonid left the highway, and Adnan did the same. They drove off the highway and came down to an industrial area. A couple of concrete factories were on the right and a scrap yard on the left.
