Chapter 14 - The Final Showdown at the Red Hook Docks
As the last of Volkov’s guards hit the concrete, Adrian rushed forward and sliced the ropes binding Sarah’s wrists.
“Are you alright? Did they hurt you?” Adrian asked frantically, pulling her into his arms as she wept with relief.
“I’m okay... but Volkov already fled toward the container ships parked at the Red Hook docks,” Sarah choked out.
Before Adrian could answer, the metal side doors blew open, and Dimitri Volkov himself stepped inside holding a detonator.
“You’re too late, Moretti! The whole pier is rigged with C4! We all burn together!” Volkov laughed hysterically.
Adrian pushed Sarah behind a concrete pillar, raising his pistol with a steady, unblinking grip despite his screaming heart.
“You should have stayed in Russia, Dimitri,” Adrian whispered softly across the smoky expanse of the slaughterhouse floor.
Volkov’s finger twitched toward the detonator button, but Adrian’s bullet struck true, piercing the Russian boss squarely between the eyes.

Volkov dropped instantly like a severed puppet, the detonator clattering harmlessly against the blood-slicked concrete floor.
