Chapter 13 - The Last HuntMoretti came for us six months later.
He kidnapped Elena.
I was still under federal custody.
But I had learned something.
Power wasn't the guns.
It wasn't money.
It wasn't fear.
Power was knowing who would stand beside you.
Ricardo found Moretti's location.
Victor found the entrance.
And I broke out of the transport convoy long enough to reach Elena.
The confrontation happened inside the warehouse where Lucia had first called me Daddy.
Moretti stood with a gun against Elena's head.
“Drop your weapon.”
I did.
“You lost.”
“No.”
He smiled.
“You lost everything.”
I looked around.
At the warehouse.
At the broken concrete.
At the place where my daughter had once run toward me.
“You're wrong.”
Moretti frowned.
“I lost an empire.”
I stepped forward.
“But I gained a family.”
He fired.
Victor tackled me.
Ricardo returned fire.
Moretti ran.
Elena chased him.
She stopped him at the edge of the warehouse.
Moretti looked at her.
“You owe me your life.”
“No.”
She raised her weapon.
“I owe my life to the people who saved me from you.”
She didn't kill him.
She lowered the gun.

Police surrounded him.
For the first time, Gabriel Moretti had nowhere left to run.
