CHAPTER 121. The bossUndercover agents and spies have one rule: "Be prepared for anything." At any time, in any place, make sure you're ready. And Zack was.When one of the SUVs cut them off, Zack knew exactly what was coming."Stay here," he ordered Gazca as he got out of the SUV.Two men got out of each vehicle, and Zack walked around his SUV to lean against the hood. He almost smiled when he saw them open the door for Mason, who stepped out like a feudal king, dressed in a suit and tie, exuding confidence."What do you want besides strutting around like a peacock and barking like the dog you are?" Zack snapped, not holding back.Mason absorbed the insult and raised his chin defiantly."I wanted to see if your supposed love for Andy wasn't enough to keep you around. But I heard you ran off two days ago and I see you're doing the same now," Mason laughed."Well... I have to do something to fix the mess you got us into. Andrea already told me you tried to frame me by planting that dr

CHAPTER 123. It’s doneVito Rizzuto's face turned into a mask of rage when he saw the ruined microphone in the glass of water and heard the name of his worst enemy.“You are definitely not a smart man, Mr. Keller!” he hissed. “Are you threatening me with bringing John Hopkins to my door?”Zack adjusted his jacket and sat down.“No, Mr. Rizzuto, I’m not threatening, I’ve already brought him. Director Hopkins of CIA Organized Crime is in room 2301 of the Le Blanc hotel, less than five minutes from here,” he stated. “I asked him for help to free my wife, and he asked me to trade her for you. Unfortunately, he’s a bit inflexible and can’t be negotiated with in many things; he doesn’t understand the value of money like you and I do.”“Couldn’t you have come here without bringing him!?” the old man growled furiously.“It depends on how much of an idiot you think I am. Do you think I’d step into the house of Canada’s biggest drug lord without backup?”For a minute, the old man looked at him

CHAPTER 125. Love NotesAndrea woke up with the morning light peeking through the small thirty-by-thirty-centimeter square that was the window of her cell. As she stretched her arms and legs, the cold, damp air enveloped her like a cocoon. She looked around confusedly before the memories of the previous night flooded in. They had locked her in that solitary cell. She didn't know what she had done to deserve it, and a wave of fear washed over her.Tears filled her eyes as she thought of Zack. Had something gone wrong? Was he in danger? She desperately wanted to get out of that cell and find him, but she was confined and powerless.She tried to recall if she had done anything wrong, but the inmates there were all quite calm.The sound of a tray hitting the cell door jolted her out of her thoughts.“Breakfast!” announced the cold voice of a guard, and a small opening in the door was revealed.Andrea slowly approached and knelt to receive the tray. While eating, she felt something under t

CHAPTER 127. Love and Death.Zack ran after his brother, and soon they reached where Loan was talking to two of the men he had hired."We were watching the house, as you asked," one of them reported. "Mr. Lee had a couple of guards, like he’s had the past few days. But about an hour ago, a couple of vans arrived. Tinted windows, black, no plates... you know, cartel style.""Uh-huh. And what happened?" Zack asked hurriedly."We heard a commotion inside, then some gunshots, and they took a body out of the house in a black bag...""I swear I saw it move, it wasn’t dead," the other man said."Well, you understand, a man was in that bag. They left immediately. The mobile unit is following them; they’ll inform us as soon as they reach their destination."Zack nodded slowly, and his brothers looked at him, waiting for an order."Did you check the house?" he asked."We preferred to inform you first.""Very well, then call the police. They won’t take long to see if there are bodies and if one

CHAPTER 129. We’re ready Andrea was sleepy, sleepy and cold, and only knew it was still night because of the small patch of black sky she could see through her window. But as soon as the first light appeared, the door of her cell opened.“Come on, out. Time to go,” said the guard. Andrea rubbed her eyes, not understanding. Zack had told her she would be there for a week for her protection. Why did they want her out now? “Come on! What are you waiting for?!” the woman growled from the door, and despite her fear, Andrea didn’t hesitate, because she didn’t want to be hit again.Stumbling, they pushed her into a room and handed her the clothes she had been wearing the day she was arrested.“Change if you want to get out of here. You have five minutes.”With her heart in her throat, Andrea changed immediately, and soon after, the same guard was pushing her through corridors surrounded by electrified mesh toward the prison exit. She felt like she was going to faint when that door opened a
