Julian’s face pales with disappointment. His mates are extremely protective of him and rarely allow him to venture out alone. He must’ve hoped for a little celebration since we were with him.

I hate to disappoint him but it’s important to send him back to Solveig Estate. Senator Vaughn and his companions are foaming at the mouth to stop us from revealing the truth about their association with the Black Widow. We can’t jeopardize Julian’s safety at a time like this.

“Let’s just round up the assholes and go for a proper celebration,” I say, wrapping an arm around Julian’s shoulders. “We’ll be out the whole night.”

“Will “Big Bruh” allow it?” he asks with a scoff.

“Hey, we’re doing this because it’s an emergency,” Simon says at once. “Seth doesn’t control us, you know?”

“Yeah, right!” Julian scoffs.

“You said it yourself that we need to get through the data to arrange the arrest warrants,” I say, reminding him of our true goal. “Let’s not get distracted at this point.”

“Fine,” Julian relents. “Let’s go already.”

To keep up appearances, we separate into teams before walking out of the house. Julian comes with us and climbs into one of the parked vehicles on the street.

“Is anyone watching us?” I ask, securing the seatbelt around me.

“No,” Simon replies from the back. “It’s still too early for most people to be out and about yet.”

We drive away first. Our guards follow us in two separate cars but they keep their distance from us.

I take a deep breath as we exit the quiet suburban area and drive toward the expressway. The immediate danger of confronting the Black Widow spies is gone now.

Since it’s still early, the traffic is fairly light. A clear blue sky stretches ahead as we speed down the highway.

It’s not long before both Simon and Julian fall asleep in the back. Even though I’m exhausted from lack of sleep, the things we discovered on those servers keep me alert and awake.

The servers were also used to run a porn portal. Most of the heavy data came from the numerous clips and videos that were uploaded by the Black Widow. They even had footage of the underground bunkers, showcasing the inhuman living conditions where the captured omegas were being kept.

We also found blocks of important financial records. This information will allow us to figure out the way they channeled their money to buy weapons. We have everything we need to tear out the terrorist organization from its very roots.

It’s not long before I slow the car down as we near the main entry point to Solveig Estate. Julian and Simon stir as one of the guards peeks through the window before checking my ID.

“We’re home already?” Julian asks sleepily.

“Yep,” I say, driving forward.

“You guys want to come in for some coffee?” Julian says, glancing toward Simon.

“Let’s take a rain check,” Simon says. “Get some rest for now and sift through the data we collected. We can relax and party once we’re done sending the senator behind bars.”

Julian lets out a sigh and nods. “Fine. Have it your way.”

I bring the car to a stop outside Solveig Mansion. “Say hello to Iris for us,” I say as Julian climbs out.

“Sure,” he says, waving at me.

Simon and I watch Julian’s retreating figure until it disappears behind the tall, heavy doors of the mansion.

“What do you want to do now?” I ask as Simon comes to the front passenger seat.

“Let’s go back to Burton Estate,” my brother replies. “I want to see Jake’s pathetic face with my own eyes.”

I nod, putting the car in reverse.

Soon, we’re back on the road again, making our way toward Burton Estate.
