No alarms.
No broken locks.
The guards had been drugged.
Matteo called.
“You have the recording.”
“Yes.”
“Bring it.”
“Where?”
“The place where your father died.”
The old estate.
I went alone.
Matteo stood in the burned remains of my childhood home.
Sofia was tied to a chair.
She wasn't crying.
When she saw me, she smiled.
“Uncle Alessandro.”
Matteo laughed.
“You care about her.”
“Yes.”
“Then give me the recording.”

She ran toward me.
I caught her.

Matteo had expected it.
But so had I.
The recording began playing through hidden speakers.
His own voice filled the house.
He confessed everything.
His men began lowering their weapons.
They realized he had lied to them too.
Matteo's empire collapsed in minutes.
He raised his gun.
But Sofia shouted:
“Uncle!”
I turned.
Matteo fired.

A bullet struck my chest.
I fell.
