Chapter 10 - Into the Mountains

The tire tracks led southwest.

> The mountains… Who the hell builds a hideout there?

Overdramatic. But I guess they think they're untouchable.

Fine.

If they believe they're out of reach—

> I'll prove them wrong.

> I'm not their target.

I'm their reckoning.

I took two knives. Checked the balance.

One light — for throwing.

One heavy — for close combat.

> Time's up. Let's go.

Four hours later

I'd nearly lost the trail. Roots, grass, rocks — it all blended together.

But then…

Empty shell casings on the ground.

Blanks — but still a sign.

> They're here. And close.

Five minutes later — I found it.

Their hideout.

Concrete walls. A camera above the entrance.

Three guards.

> Showtime.

I silently hurled the first knife — right into the left one's throat.

No sound. Just a gurgle.

Second knife — to the right guard's neck.

Dropped instantly.

The third grabbed his radio—

> Too late.

I was already in front of him.

Stabbed him in the gut.

Then the neck.

Unconscious.

> Sleep, mutt.

I looked around.

Silence.

> It's only going to get worse from here.

But I don't care.

I'm coming for her.
