Chapter 80

Mason took a step back, closed his eyes tight, and swallowed the bile burning the back of his throat. Whenever his mind drifted to the second bombing, he couldn’t help but remember it was more than a hit that had taken out so many civilians, it’d also killed his sister’s husband. Mason pictured his sister’s face when she’d asked how this could have happened. There hadn’t been a war going on in Romania. His brother-in-law should have been safe there. But because of four suicide bombers, and the group who backed them, Tom died and Mason had nothing to give his sister. He’d believed with his whole heart he’d at least catch the group responsible and give his sister closure. But he hadn’t, and now he may never have the chance.

“Fuck.” Mason punched the wall. Regret washed over him. Not because of the pain throbbing in his fist, he deserved that, but because the noise might have woken Noah.
