Chapter 4 - Shadow of the Syndicate
Gabriel pulled his phone from his pocket and pressed a single speed-dial button. Within seconds, two sleek black SUVs pulled up quietly along the park perimeter, their windows heavily tinted.
"Get in," Gabriel said softly, his voice firm yet protective. "Public places aren't safe for you, Emma. Marco Bellini's lieutenants still patrol this city."
Emma hesitated, pulling Lucy closer. "I've lived in hiding for over a decade, Gabriel. I work two jobs to keep my daughter safe. I don't want any part of your mafia war."
"You don't understand," Gabriel said, his voice dropping into a solemn tone. "Marco isn't just looking for Julian's estate anymore. He knows Julian hid the syndicate's master vault keys before he died. And he knows those keys were tied to the two wolf tattoos."
Lucy looked up at her mother innocently. "Mommy, is the dark wolf man a good guy?"
