After the meeting, Teddy and Kane laid low again, waiting to hear back from Lena. But word traveled fast, and within a day, Teddy noticed more men on the streets, more eyes watching the corners. His mother's network was tightening around them, as if she could sense the threat.
One evening, as they hid in an alley, Teddy heard a familiar voice in his mind, faint but clear. You're close, Teddy. Don't let her get away with this.
It was his uncle's voice, as clear as if Marlon were standing beside him. Teddy clenched his fists, a chill running down his spine. Kane noticed his reaction and raised an eyebrow.
"You good?" he asked, his voice cautious.
Teddy nodded, shaking off the sensation. "Yeah. Just...thinking."
But he couldn't shake the feeling that Marlon was still with him, guiding him, pushing him forward. The thought gave him strength, a reminder that he wasn't fighting alone.
