With a slow nod, her knife slips from her grasp, making a loud clatter as it hits the floor. She then steps back in line with my guys.

We can’t move on until every single one of them involved is dead. Alex is no exception.

His part in our devastation weighs just as heavily as the rest. He had his chances for redemption. Now it’s too late.

“Thank you.” She returns with a smile.

“Send the location to George. Get Mikhail on the line and be ready to move as soon as we tell him.”

“Will do, boss.”

“Jax, Luca, go with G. I’ll be up in a minute.”

Once Grayson is out of sight, I grab her and hold her close.

“I’m so fucking proud of you, angel.”

I sigh. “No, Zara. I’m sorry.”

“Maybe when I watch them all die, I’ll feel better.” She hiccups as she laughs.

I can’t help but chuckle with her.

“Yeah, I agree.” I press a kiss to the tip of her nose. “Together, we can get through this.”

“I hope so.” She sniffles.

“I know so.”

We have a lot to do to pull this off.

“Nothing to say, commissioner?” Frankie asks, raising his gun.

He looks past Frankie, straight at me.
