The air in the underground chamber was suffocating. Oscar's father stood tall, his cold eyes fixed on me, and beside him, Oscar smirked like a smug devil. My heart pounded in my chest, the weight of the moment pressing down hard. John's forward team, lying on the ground, looked overpowered, disarmed, and restrained. This was the trap, and we had walked straight into it. But I wasn't blind to the possibility of this kind of betrayal. John wasn't either. The rest of John's men, his old combat buddies, were still outside, positioned on standby, waiting for the order to storm in. They had the skills, and they knew how to strike when the timing was right. I felt the weight of it all crushing down on me, every single decision, every risk I'd taken. This was bigger than just getting Kyle, bigger than bringing down a few frat boys. This was an entire network of trafficking, drugs, and violence. And now, it felt like we'd walked right into the belly of the beast,

only to find the jaws already closing in around us. Oscar's father, the cartel lieutenant, took another step forward, his smirk growing wider. You should have known you'd never make it out of this alive, Mason. This isn't some little vendetta you can solve with a laptop and a few guns. This is my world. He gestured to the caged girls with an air of casual cruelty. All this? It's just the tip of the iceberg. You think you've done something by shutting down our network. Please. We've got other ways, ways you haven't even imagined. I felt John tense next to me, his hand on his weapon, but we both knew the situation wasn't in our favor. We were outnumbered. Outgunned. If John's backup was going to strike, they needed to do it now. I glanced at him, my voice barely a whisper. Any word from your guys, John's jaw clenched. Nothing yet. They're supposed to be on standby.

I nodded, my mind racing. It was all coming down to this moment, and I could feel the odds slipping out of our favor with every passing second. My laptop was still running, and while I'd effectively cut off their communications, the cartel had more tricks up its sleeve than I'd accounted for. They'd anticipated the digital blackout. but I still had one more move left. Oscar's father chuckled, stepping closer. I'm going to enjoy watching you fall apart, Mason.

First, we'll kill you. Then we'll find your family. You really thought you could outsmart us. This is what happens when amateurs get involved in a professional's game. I felt my pulse quicken, the blood roaring in my ears. He thought he had me. He thought he'd beaten me. But this bastard didn't know me.

You're wrong, I said, my voice low and even. You don't know who the fuck you're dealing with. Oscar's father tilted his head, that smirk never leaving his face. Oh. Enlighten me, then. What's your next brilliant move? I clicked the send key on my phone. The lights in the underground chamber flickered, then died.

The entire building plunged into darkness, save for the dim glow of the emergency lights line. the floor. The effect was immediate. The cartel's men started shouting, their voices rising in panic as they fumbled in the sudden dark. Oscar and his father stood frozen for a moment, clearly not expecting this. At that moment, the world exploded into chaos. The door to the underground chamber burst open, and John's men poured in like a wave of shadows. Gunfire erupted, the sharp cracks of suppressed shots cutting through the air as the cartels guard. were picked off one by one. The lieutenant's smug grin vanished, replaced by shock as John's combat buddies swarmed the room, overpowering the cartel's forces in seconds. Oscar and his father scrambled to retreat, but John was already on him with a ferocity I'd

never seen before. He moved with precision, taking out two of the remaining guards with quick, brutal strikes. In a matter of minutes the chaotic carnage suddenly became a cacophony of defeated groans and zipping of zip ties. The fight had been brutal, fast, and decisive. Oscar's smug face was pressed to the cold concrete floor, his confidence shattered. His father knelt beside him, hands bound, still seething with rage. But something about Oscar hadn't changed, he was still convinced that his money, his influence, could get him out of this. What he didn't realize was that John saw Oscar was there and participated in his daughter's sexual assault along with Kyle. Jail would be a miracle for him. John caught Oscar by the collar,

slamming him into the concrete wall with a force that made the entire room shake. You don't get to walk away from this, John growled, his voice low and deadly. You and your father, you're going to answer for everything. Oscar, blood dripping from his nose, let out a weak laugh, his eyes glinting with arrogant defiance. We'll just pay our way out, like every other time, he's He sneered. You really think this is the first time we've been caught. Money talks, my friend. You can't touch us. John's expression didn't change, but the fury in his eyes darkened. He leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper. Pay your way out of this. With a swift, brutal motion, John snapped Oscar's neck. The crack echoed through the chamber, and Oscar's body crumpled to the floor,

lifeless. The smirk wiped clean from his face forever. Oscar's father, witnessing his son's execution, led out a guttural roar, his anger exploding into action. He surged to his feet, charging at John with blind rage, but before he could get close, one of John's men fired a clean, single headshot. The bullet tore through the man's skull, dropping him to the ground instantly, his blood splattering across the cold stone floor. John looked down at their lifeless bodies, his breathing heavy but controlled. Hell it is then, he muttered under his breath. He kicked Oscar's limp body with disgust before turning his cold gaze to the mess they'd made. Enjoy it, motherfuckas. I stood amidst the chaos, my heart racing, trying to process what had just happened. John's men were sweeping

the room, securing the cartel members, ensuring no one got back up. My attention had shifted to the women we had just freed, their haunted eyes reflecting the horror they'd endured. I couldn't shake the feeling that this was only a small victory, that the war wasn't over yet. But for now, we had done something. We had saved them. The girls were huddled in the corner, shaken but alive. They were free. I walked over to one of John's men, who was busy securing the rest of the men with zip ties.

What's the situation outside? I asked. All clear, the man replied, his voice steady. We've neutralized the rest of the cartels men. No reinforcements coming, I nodded, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. The job wasn't over, but at least, for now, we were safe. John walked up beside me, wiping the blood from his knuckles. Good work, Mason. We couldn't have done. We couldn't have done. done this without you, I shook my head. We couldn't have done it without each other. There was a long silence as we stood there, watching as the cartels' leaders were dragged away, their empire crumbling beneath them. I should have felt satisfaction, maybe even triumph. But all I felt was exhaustion. The weight of everything we'd been through was finally catching up to me. John glanced at me, his expression softer now. What's next for you? I didn't answer right away. My thoughts were with Lily, with the family I'd risked everything for. I'm going home, I said finally, my voice quiet. It's time to be with my daughter. John nodded, understanding in his

eyes. You did good tonight, Mason. You did right by her. I didn't respond. I just nodded, feeling the exhaustion pulling at me. There was still so much to do. Reports to file, evidence to hand over to the and a reckoning for everyone involved. But for now, all I wanted was to see Lily's face. To tell her that it was over, but there was still one more loose end, fucking Kyle. The drive back to the cabin was quiet. John's team had secured the area, ensuring no one was left behind. The sun was starting to rise, casting a soft glow over the landscape. It was surreal, seeing the world so peaceful after the chaos we just survived. But I knew better. Peace was fragile, and it was up to people like John and me to keep it intact. When we arrived, Kyle was tied up in the corner of the room,

unconscious but still breathing, his one smug face now swollen from the beating John had given him earlier. John crouched down beside him, checking his pulse, then looked up at me. His eyes, dark and full of purpose, told me everything I needed to know. Kyle was going to pay too. Without a word, John grabbed one of Kyle's legs and twisted, a sickening crack echoing through the room as the bone snapped like a twig. Kyle screamed, his eyes snapping open in agony. John didn't stop. He moved to the other leg, methodically destroying Kyle's knees, his spine. By the time John stood back up, Kyle was a sobbing, crippled mess, his lower body completely useless. He'll live, John said coldly,

wiping the blood from his hands. But he won't walk or fuck ever again. Even if he pays his way out, he will still pay for the rest of his life. Fuck him. I stood there, watching the broken heap that Kyle had become. He deserved every bit of it, and more. As the sun rose over the distant treeline, John's men began gathering the cartel members and the freed girls. The air was lighter now, but only slightly. We had won the battle, but the war wasn't over. And as we emerged from the underground hell, I saw them, FBI agents, waiting for us. Shit, I muttered, glancing at John.

John's expression didn't change. He had seen this coming. Of course, the FBI had been watching the cartel too. There was no way they wouldn't have caught wind of an operation this big. The agents moved and quickly, guns drawn but no longer needed. John's men stood down, raising their hands in compliance as the agents swarmed us. John Harlow, one of the agents said, stepping forward with a grim look on his face. Mason Connor

You're both under arrest, I could feel the weight of the moment crashing down on me. We had one. We had taken down the car. But now, we were about to pay the price. The agent continued, you and your men have been interfering with an active federal investigation. Normally, this would mean serious prison time, but, you've done us a favor by taking these guys down. I glanced at John, who remained silent, his jaw clenched. Did you watch them rape my little girl and do nothing about it?

Did you enjoy watching? Fucking Pussies The agent's eyes softened. slightly. I empathize, and know we can make a deal where you avoid any and all charges. I exhaled, feeling the tension ease just a fraction. What kind of deal? The agent crossed his arms. You work with us. Give us the rest of the cartel's operations, every name, every location, and will consider dropping the charges. You'd be free men, but under our watch. I looked at John, who raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. The charge of the charge of the charge of the charge of the

choice was clear. Go to prison or continue the fight, this time, with the FBI. John finally spoke. And if we say no, the agent's lips thinned into a smile. Then you rot in a federal prison for the rest of your lives. But you're smart enough to know that's not the best option. I clenched my fists, the reality of the situation sinking in. We'd fought so hard to get to this point, but we were still trapped, just like everyone else. But this, this was an out. A chance to keep going. John met my gaze, his eyes searching mine for an answer.

I nodded. We'll take the deal, John said, his voice steady. But on our terms, the agent nodded. You'll have them. You've earned that much. The sun was high in the sky by the time the FBI had wrapped up. The cartels' leaders were dead, their empire crumbling, but the work wasn't done. As I stood there, watching the FBI haul the remaining prisoners into armored trucks,

I couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning. John walked up beside me, his hands shoved in his pockets. Looks like we're working for the feds now. Yeah, I said, my voice distant. But at least we're still in the game. He chuckled, a low, humorless sound. That we are, I looked out at the horizon, wondering what was next. We had taken down one monster, but I knew there were others out there, lurking in the shadows.

The FBI deal had given us a way out, but it had also pulled us deeper into a world I wasn't sure we could ever escape. Think we'll ever get a chance to breathe? I asked. John shook his head. No. But we're good at this. And as long as there are bastards like Oscar and his father out there, we'll keep doing what we do. I nodded, the weight of the moment settling in. We had won today, but the fight was far from over. And maybe, just maybe, that was okay. For now, we had a new mission. And this time, we weren't playing by anyone else's rules.

The end.
