"Send the coordinates to the strike team," Vincent ordered. "Tell them to breach the shipyard immediately. Leave no one standing."
While the plane began its descent toward the secure military base, a brutal, cinematic raid was unfolding miles away.
Vincent's elite tactical team descended on the abandoned shipyard. The Barone guards, completely caught off guard and demoralized by the capture of their boss, stood no chance. The heavy metal doors of the warehouse were blown open.
Inside a freezing, damp storage container, Leah’s mother, Maria, was huddled in the corner, bruised and terrified, expecting the worst.

"Maria?" the team leader asked gently, lowering his rifle. "Vincent Moretti sent us. Your daughter is safe. We're taking you to her."
Maria broke down into heavy, beautiful sobs of absolute relief, letting the men guide her out of the darkness and into the waiting armored vehicle.

Vincent turned his attention back to Chloe, who was handcuffed and shivering in her seat.
