Chapter 6 - The Warehouse Was a Trap—But Kane Didn't Know I Had Already Taken Control of His MenWarehouse 17 was surrounded.
Not by my men.
By Kane's.
At least, that's what he thought.
Twenty-seven armed men waited inside.
They believed they were working for him.
They were wrong.
For six months, I had been buying the debts of Kane's organization through intermediaries.
I owned their warehouses.
Their vehicles.
Their accounts.
Their suppliers.
Even the company providing their ammunition.
When Kane walked into the warehouse, he expected to see me trapped.
Instead, the lights came on.
Every weapon in the room lowered.
Kane stopped.
I stepped from the shadows.
“You should have read your financial statements.”
His expression changed.
“You.”
“Yes.”
“You think money makes you powerful?”
“No.”
I walked toward him.
“Information does.”
Kane smiled.
“You still don't know the truth.”
“Then tell me.”
He laughed.
“Your father didn't betray me.”
I waited.
“He betrayed the entire organization.”
He told me my father had discovered that Kane planned to eliminate everyone who knew about a massive trafficking network.
My father tried to expose it.
He failed.
Then Kane claimed he had arranged my parents' deaths.
I stared at him.
“You killed them.”
“I ordered it.”
My fists tightened.
“But your father anticipated me.”
“What did he do?”
“He hid evidence.”
“The ledger.”
Kane nodded.
“Exactly.”
I stepped closer.
“Where is it?”
He smiled.
“You'll never find it.”
Then Emily's voice came through my earpiece.
“Daniel.”
I answered.
“I'm here.”
“I found something.”
“What?”
“The photograph.”
“What about it?”
“The frame.”
I looked at the old photograph.
There was a small metal plate behind it.
I removed it.
A tiny compartment opened.
Inside was a memory card.
My father's real ledger.
Kane's smile vanished.
I looked at him.
“You should have searched more carefully.”
The evidence was enough to expose his entire network.
But Kane had one last trick.
He activated a hidden explosive.
The warehouse began shaking.
“Get Emily out!” I shouted.
Everyone moved.

Kane disappeared into the smoke.
And I knew he wasn't finished.
