"One million," A man seated at the corner of the room called out, raising his paddle.
My heart pounded louder with each bid. The men sneered, their eyes devouring me like I was a piece of meat. My body trembled as I rubbed my sweaty hands on my clothes.
The bids went higher and higher until there were just two men left. 
"Three million," the chubby man declared, impatient evident in his tone.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"Five million," A stranger countered, raising his paddle. 
My eyes widened in shock as I tried to figure out who this stranger was. The room was filled with murmurs and no one could counter the stranger. 
The auctioneer's gavel slammed down. 
"Sold!"

　　"So let's just call a truce here and agree to watch each other's backs, okay?"


　　I nodded, my tension easing just a fraction. "Okay."


　　"Good," he said, easing back against the pillows with a wince. "Now, tell me about this lead you've got on Robert."


　　I stuttered, turning back to Leila whose eyes had started to gleam with concern as she watched us. "Nothing," I lied. "Just a lead on a cargo he hijacked. We trace it, see if it leads to him."


　　"And you're still looking for him, aren't you?"


　　Luca asked. He took another step closer and his eyes clouded.


　　"I have to," I said. "He's not going to stop until he's taken everything from me. I can't let that happen."


　　Luca regarded me for a long, silent moment before he nodded. "I'm in, whatever you need."


　　I opened my mouth, to protest, to tell him he needed to rest, to heal, but I knew it was a lost cause. He was as stubborn as I was, and he didn't cave.
