Chapter 12 - The Lion Medallion Leads To A Rival Syndicate
Deep underground in the damp, stone-lined escape tunnel, the air smelled of aged oak casks and damp earth.
Dominic caught up with Mia, Marco, and Lily just as they reached an idling black armored SUV parked in the underground garage.
Mia pulled away from Dominic angrily, her eyes flashing with defensive fury in the dim fluorescent lighting.
“Why did you drag us down here?! Those were federal agents!” Mia hissed, keeping her voice down for Lily’s sake.
“Those federal agents are on Julian’s payroll, Ms. Carter, and they would have buried you in a black site by morning,” Dominic replied bluntly.
He opened the SUV door, helping Mia and Lily into the heated leather backseat before sliding in beside them.

Marco tossed a small, heavy object onto Dominic’s lap—the silver lion medallion recovered from the assassin’s abandoned glove.
Dominic turned the metal over in his palm, recognizing the ancient family crest belonging to the rival Russian syndicate in Brooklyn.
