I stood there in the middle of the room, my stomach churning, an unsettling feeling gnawing at me as I took in everything happening outside. The chaos unfolding before my eyes had the unmistakable scent of disaster, and deep down, I knew we had a hand in this. We were part of the storm that was now beginning to swallow everything in its path.

I didn’t know what was happening or how it started. But I had a feeling that Luke or my late father had something to do with it. these kids‘ issues always had to do with us, one way or the other we had some involvement.

The street was alive with movement, too much movement for comfort. From the windows, I could see the stark differences between two types of men, each poised for something terrible. Marcus’s men were calm, controlled, their movements precise. They carried themselves with the kind of practiced case that only years of training could provide. Their weapons weren’t just tools; they were extensions of their bodies. These men were soldiers in the

truest sense.

Then, there were Luke’s men. They were rougher around the edges, less polished in their movements, but no less dangerous. Their eyes were sharp, scanning every corner, every shadow. There was a rawness to them, an edge of desperation. These men didn’t hesitate. The streets they walked weren’t the ones of training or discipline. They lived by a different code, the kind of code where hesitation meant death.

I felt a wave of nausea sweep over me. I didn’t want to be part of this. But I couldn’t turn away either. The girl in my arms, small, innocent, shifted slightly, her soft breathing a stark contrast to the tension outside. I hugged her closer, holding onto her warmth like a lifeline. The reality of our situation was starting to settle in, and I had no idea how much longer I could sit idly by.

Grabbing my phone, I dialled Luke, knowing full well the conversation I was about to have would be anything but,
