CHAPTER 47:

Killian

It's been a week since Lachlan took Rebecca.

He's been quiet and near impossible to track, but we've been searching, and we've found him.

With the help from Morgan and Reese, Derek managed to upgrade his equipment and get several leads as to where Lachlan is and what he's about to do.

Sam and Damian have been pursuing different leads, most of them leading to a dead end.

That goes the same for Xander and the police. Nothing but silence.

Except for today.

Derek's security footage recognized Lachlan's face at the Queen's docks and as soon as he gave me that information, I told Dante.

He convinced the NYPD police captain to give us all immunity and help us take down Lachlan, the only catch is that we have to wear NYPD uniforms and act under the law—so, in other words, we can't kill Lachlan or any other gangster unless we have no choice.

"Remember the plan boys," Dante barked as we nodded our heads.

Dante has our team in armored cars, traveling to both locations where Lachlan's was spotted on the cameras.

Alpha Team and Bravo Team.

Alpha Team consisted of Dante, Xander, myself, and a few officers while Bravo Team of Morgan, Vincent, and a few officers.

Damian and Reese stayed back at the mansion to be our eyes in the sky. Reese has live security cams from here playing so he can tell us if something goes wrong.

Alpha Team is going to the north side of the docks while Bravo Team is going to the south side.

"We have to abide by Captain Merlyn's orders tonight, but if we get shot at, there's nothing stopping us from shooting back," Dante barked as we all nodded.

The armored car was a rough ride. We all had to clutch our weapons close to our chest and hold onto ropes from the ceiling to keep us in our seats.

"We're getting her back tonight and ending this once and for all," Dante hissed as the truck came to a halt. "Follow me," he instructed as we all stood.

Dante opened the truck's doors and we all followed him, sweeping the area with our guns as we did so.

Dante signaled for Xander and I to go left while he and another officer went right.

"Make sure you get my six douchebag," Xander lowly hissed as we separated from Dante.

"Only if you get mine bitch," I hissed back as we swept the area.

"Anyone have eyes on—well, anything?" Xander questioned into his radio on his chest.

"Negative. The area has been cleaned out. If Lachlan had operations here, he's long gone," an officer radioed back as Xander kicked a wooden crate, smashing it to pieces.

"Dammit," he cursed.

I looked at the contents inside of the crate and saw bags tightly wrapped together.

"Drugs? If Lachlan is long gone, why leave his stash unprotected?" I asked myself as I started to open crates.

"What are you doing? Let's go, there's nothing here," Xander sounded annoyed.
