Funeral over, we retreated to our safehouse.
Emotions raw.
Zade's eyes narrowed.
"Thompson's death won't be in vain."
Axel nodded.
"We'll take down Project Nightshade."
I placed a hand on Zade's shoulder.
"First, we need answers."
Zade's gaze locked onto mine.
"About my family."
Axel's expression turned grim.
"Jackson's words haunt me."
"Your family's not what you think."
Zade's jaw clenched.
"I'll confront my brother."
Axel stood.
"Let's gather intel."
I nodded.
"Family secrets won't stay hidden."
We dug into Zade's family history.
Uncovering shocking truths.
Zade's brother, Ryker, involved in Project Nightshade.
Ties to the Syndicate.
Zade's face paled.
"Ryker's been lying to me."
Axel's eyes narrowed.
"We'll bring him down."
But Zade hesitated.
"Family loyalty..."
I took his hand.
"Justice comes first."
Zade's determination reignited.
"For Thompson. For the truth."
We devised a plan.
Infiltrate Ryker's operation.
Gather evidence.
Take him down.
