“This guy is scary as fuck,” Kane says, finally stepping into the room with Blaze. They’re both covered in blood as well, and Blaze is grinning. “I like him.”
“Where are Jason and Kira?” I ask. “What about the rest of the guys?”
“Jason and Kira are safe,” Blaze answers. “We need to move to finish this to get everyone else out. We have a surprise for you when this is done.”
Blaze shoves an AK into my chest, and we’re moving. I take one last look at my father’s decapitated head and spit on it. “That’s for Avina, you piece of shit.”
“It’s time, boys,” Tivon says into his earpiece.
“Fucking finally,” Tyler breathes through comms, and gunfire erupts.
The rest of Axel’s team fall into line behind us, then Les’ team, and then the rest of the Abbs valley crew. We work through the prison, taking out anyone that stands in our way. We have one more problem to take care of, and then this is finally over. I can pull my family in close and we can live our damn lives.
“Lock it down!” Les calls out, and the prison is locked up tight, with no way for anyone to get in or out.
I lower my gun when I see Tyler running my way. He leaps into my arms, and I catch him with a laugh. “Fuck, I’m so glad to see you, Pretty boy.”
“You’re a sight for sore eyes, Papi.” He slides to his feet and jerks his head for me to follow him. We walk down the hallway, and he opens a door to an office. “That’s Cryptic.”
A cute guy with the exact same description Nolan gave us nods his head. His face is a bloody mess, and he’s holding his arm close to his chest. “Nice to finally meet you. I’m sorry about your father. They beat the shit out of me until I gave them access, and they saw you.”
“No worries,” I say genuinely. I can tell this guy wants out of this mess, and I plan on making that happen. Something in the corner starts moving, and I start dying laughing when I see Abraham hog tied in the corner.
“He tried to run,” Blaze explains. “He didn’t get far.”
“Can someone explain to me how you guys are here?” I ask.
“Your father tried to ambush the plane before takeoff. I’m guessing he didn’t do his research on me,” Kane says. “We got out of there, stashed Jason and Kira, and I called Tivon. The rest you know. That motherfucker,” Kane jabs a finger at Abraham, “tried to run. But he ran the wrong way and came face to face with Blaze. He grabbed him.”
“Thank you,” I say, my voice clogging with tears. Tivon grabs my hand and squeezes. “I need to bring down my father’s entire empire.”
“We have a plan,” Tyler says, sitting beside Cryptic. “Now is the time to release what you have on your father toourgovernment so they can be in place when Mossad implodes.”
“I have someone in mind to take over,” Tivon throws in. “One of my guys that was also in your ranks. He’ll run Mossad like it was supposed to be. This is really over, Aryeh.”
I walk over and squat in front of a fuming Abraham. “Not yet. This asshole needs to feel the pain that he put this family through. Get him tied up somewhere.”
“There’s a basement with all kinds of weird shit,” Cryptic answers, wincing when he stands. “If it’s all the same to you, I’d like to get out of here and see my brother.”
Axel nods. “I’ll take you to Cole. He’ll drive you to see your brother.”
Cryptic takes a shuddering breath. “Thank you for saving him and taking a chance on me. I swear to you that I don’t want anything to do with this site or Andres.”
“Call doc to come look at him,” I tell Axel. “I’ll call you when it’s done.”
Everyone calls out their goodbyes, leaving me with Tivon, Keon, Tyler, Gavin, and a soon to be dead Abraham.
We draggedAbraham to the basement to tie him up, and then stepped out. I just needed a minute to fucking breathe, knowing that this is finally finished.
We all sit down in the hallway, leaning against the wall, taking it all in.
“Is it really over?” Gavin says quietly, almost like he can’t believe it.
“It is,” I answer. “We have our lives back.”
“What are you going to do with Abraham?” Tyler asks.
“Torture the fuck out of him, and then ship his body parts back to his crazy wife.”
