He targeted my businesses.
My warehouses.
My financial accounts.
Then he kidnapped Daniel's family.
I gathered my people.
“We end this tonight.”
Anna begged me not to.
Eli looked at me.
“Are you going to leave?”
I knelt.

“Take me.”
Kane smiled.
“You'd die for him?”
“Yes.”
Then Anna stepped beside me.
“And so would I.”
Kane lowered his weapon.
