Sophie carried Noah.
I carried Mason.
Hannah followed.
Daniel covered us.
We reached a safehouse.
The judge's warrant was exposed as fraudulent.
But the threat was larger.
My father's network reached police.
Courts.
Hospitals.
Banks.
Everywhere.
We couldn't stay hidden.
I decided to go public.

Just enough.
The trust would be exposed.
The evidence released.
My father would have nowhere to hide.
Daniel agreed.
Hannah agreed.

“Yes.”
“Will Daddy be safe?”
“Yes.”
She nodded.
“Then do it.”
I smiled.

The evidence went public that night.
News exploded.
Politicians were named.
Companies collapsed.
Police investigations started.
The Moretti network was exposed.
And my father disappeared.
We thought he was gone.
Then I received one message.

COME ALONE.
I knew who it was.
