Hudson has an adversary he can’t win against in me.

I just have to be patient. Wait it out until the moment is right. Luckily, I have alotof experience in that area.

If there’s one thing that the military taught me, it’s patience.

If I need to wait out to get what I want, then that’s what I’ll do.

I’m parked away from the warehouse, obviously, I’m not about to be caught off guard. But I have the best binoculars on the market so I can keep an eye on what’s happening there.

Men, surrounding the building, with guns strapped to their sides. But they aren’t intimidating me. I know most of them. Idiots. Wannabe gangsters who think the streets are like the video games they spend most of their time playing.

I don’t know why Hudson is screwing around with these idiots, but that’s fine.

I’m gonna take them down one by one until I get to him.

The center of it all.

The asshole who thinks he can get anywherenearEmma.

“Not on my watch,” I mutter as I watch the comings and goings. “Not a chance in hell.”

My heart still hurts when I think about Emma. I need her far to the back of my brain so I don’t get distracted here. My chest aches because I’ve had to walk away from her, but what else was I supposed to do?

We knew it was going to come to an end. There was no way it could last. I mean, that’s been in the back of my brain the whole time, right?

I guess I just didn’t expect it to feel like this when it eventually fell apart.

The fact that I might not ever see her again is crushing.

I don’t knowhowI’m going to handle it, but that’s an issue for later on, right? One step at a time. I just need to get this done first.

Action first.

Feelings later.

Eventually,darkness descends.

It’s time.

I head out the car, stealthy as possible, and make my way to the warehouse.

The first man I grab isn’t even expecting me.

Slitting his throat happens before he can even gather himself back up.

He slumps to the floor.

For a second, I consider stripping this asshole down to disguise myself, but I decide against it at the last moment.

There’s no point.

I’ll be quick, and that will give me the upper hand.

The next couple of guards cause me a little more trouble because they’re together.

Taking one down is much easier when the other guy isn’t crying out and fighting back.

But it’s fine.
