AFTERMATH

Chapter 4: The Aftermath

Antonio walked out of the abandoned warehouse, his team following close behind. They had won a major victory, but Antonio knew that this was far from over.

The Bull would be back, and next time, he would be ready. Antonio needed to be prepared, to anticipate The Bull's next move.

"Raven, I need you to dig up everything you can on The Bull," Antonio said, his voice firm and commanding. "I want to know his strengths, his weaknesses, everything."

Raven nodded, his eyes already scanning the surrounding area. "On it, boss," he said.

Antonio nodded, his mind already racing with strategies and counter-strategies. He knew that he had to stay one step ahead of The Bull, to anticipate his every move.

And then, he would strike.

But for now, Antonio had to focus on the present. He had to make sure that his team was safe, that they were all accounted for.

"Viper, Specter, check the perimeter," Antonio said, his voice firm and commanding. "Make sure we're clear."

Viper and Specter nodded, their eyes already scanning the surrounding area. They moved off, their guns at the ready.

Antonio watched them go, his mind already racing with the next move. He knew that he had to be prepared, to anticipate The Bull's every move.

And then, he would strike.

But for now, Antonio had to focus on the present. He had to make sure that his team was safe, that they were all accounted for.

As Antonio's team dispersed to check the perimeter, Antonio turned to Richard, his second-in-command.

"What's the status on our guy?" Antonio asked, his voice firm and commanding.

Richard nodded, his eyes serious. "He's shaken up, but he'll be okay. The Bull's men worked him over pretty good, but he didn't crack."

Antonio's expression turned cold and hard. "Good," he said. "I want to talk to him."

Richard nodded, leading Antonio to a nearby room where their guy was being tended to by one of Antonio's medics.

As Antonio entered the room, his guy looked up, a mixture of fear and relief in his eyes.

"Boss," he said, his voice shaking.

Antonio's expression softened slightly, but his eyes remained cold and hard. "What happened?" he asked.

His guy took a deep breath, wincing in pain. "I was out on a job, and The Bull's men jumped me. They took me to their headquarters and...and..."

Antonio's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "And what?" he growled.

His guy swallowed hard, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "They wanted me to give up our operations, to tell them where our safe houses are. But I didn't crack, boss. I swear."

Antonio's expression turned cold and hard. "I know you didn't," he said. "You're one of my best guys."

His guy looked up, a mixture of relief and gratitude in his eyes. "Thanks, boss."

Antonio nodded, his eyes never leaving his guy's face. "We'll get you patched up and back on your feet in no time."

As Antonio turned to leave, Richard caught his arm. "Boss, we need to talk."

Antonio raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing. "What is it?"

Richard's expression turned serious. "It's about The Bull. I've been digging into his operations, and I think I've found something."

Antonio's eyes narrowed, his interest piqued. "What is it?"

Richard hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "I think The Bull is working with someone on the inside."

Antonio's expression turned cold and hard. "What are you talking about?"

Richard took a deep breath. "I think one of our own guys is working with The Bull."

Antonio's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "Who?" he growled.

Richard hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "I'm not sure yet, boss. But I'll find out."

Antonio's expression turned cold and hard. "You'd better," he said.

And with that, Antonio turned and walked away, his mind racing with the implications of Richard's words.

As Antonio walked away, Richard's words echoed in his mind. One of his own guys working with The Bull? It was unthinkable. But Antonio knew that he couldn't rule it out. He had to consider every possibility.

Antonio made his way back to his office, his mind racing with the implications of Richard's words. He sat down at his desk, his eyes scanning the room as he thought.

Who could it be? One of his top guys? Someone he had trusted for years? The thought sent a cold chill down Antonio's spine.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Antonio looked up to see Raven standing in the doorway.

"What is it, Raven?" Antonio asked, his voice firm and commanding.

Raven hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "I found something, boss," he said. "Something big."

Antonio's eyes narrowed, his interest piqued. "What is it?" he asked.

Raven took a deep breath. "I hacked into The Bull's computer system," he said. "And I found a file. A file with our guy's name on it."

Antonio's eyes widened, his jaw clenched in anger. "What does it say?" he growled.

Raven hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "It says...it says that our guy is working with The Bull," he said. "That he's been feeding him information for months."

Antonio's expression turned cold and hard. "Who is it?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.

Raven hesitated, his eyes darting nervously around the room. "I don't know, boss," he said. "The file didn't say."

Antonio's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "Find out," he growled. "I want to know who it is."

Raven nodded, his eyes serious. "I'll find out, boss," he said. "I promise."

And with that, Raven turned and walked away, leaving Antonio to his thoughts.

Antonio sat at his desk, his eyes scanning the room as he thought. Who could it be? One of his top guys? Someone he had trusted for years?

The thought sent a cold chill down Antonio's spine. He knew that he had to find out who it was, and fast. Before it was too late.
