Stop it

Save Elskov

There was nothing there about civilian casualties, nothing about saving Ruby—nothing about how to live with himself after If Rolf didn’t kill her now, he would before Lucas could get back to Fare Island to save her There was fear in her eyes but a deter the panic, but his girl was scared and she should be She knew the stakes from the first moment he blackmailed her to put her life on the line so he could accomplish his mission

Fuck his orders He’d find another way to take down Henricksen And as for Rolf? He was a dead man, he just didn’t know it yet Lucas took a step forward, putting every bit of lethe odds all so he could betray the country that had saved him in order to save the woman he loved

Rolf let out an acidic chuckle “Wo decision, don’t they, Luc?” He shoved the gun’s ers, I have this Go ahead and take the yacht”

“Shoot hi witnesses, especially not a Silver Knight”

“No one dies on ry flush turned Rolf’s cheeks red “Don’t press it, Gregers I promise you won’t like the result”

The otherhis features, but after a few moments of indecision, stalked off toward the yacht A small voice inside Lucas’s head yelled that he needed to follow Henriksen and take down his nu anywhere without Ruby

Keeping his gaze hard and his stance loose, he considered the possibilities Without a weapon there weren’t un pressed against Ruby’s head, but he could distract the crime boss and draw his fire

He took another threatening step forward “Let her go”

“Or what, you’ll glare un here”

The fool thought he couldn’t take a man apart with only his hands? “No, what I’ll do will be slow, painful, and leave you wishing I’d just blown your fucking head off”

“The only one losing their head today will be you and this bit of fluff as stupid enough to bring a Silver Knight on lanced down at Ruby who, even as scared as she was, looked ready to spit in his eye “I’ve been waiting for this irl”

“Lucas, go!” Ruby screa it upward

That wasn’t going to happen He charged toward Rolf The otherher to the ground He brought the gun up and aimed the Beretta at Lucas
