It had been a long cold night, another lovely day. It was hard to explain but he had woken up to this day feeling rather refreshed.

A cozy wind drifted through the room Logan's eyes fluttered open, and he looked around the room that was midst definitely his, yet there was that bit of unfamiliarity to the room sinking into his inner mind, he could tell almost immediately that something was different-

From the trees painted with the colors of summer to the golden sky that was a bright clear blue, he could feel the heat from the rising sun, but was that the difference to his bright new day?

Was it the heat that was burning off the morning mist as it gave everything a magic appearance, was it?

Closing his eyes, he visualized everything again playing at the back of his mind, he could see that hint of every single thing that played cynically, as he sought that bit of comfort or peace drifting through his soul.

Inhaling deeply, he let the fresh, crisp air invade his lungs and gave that req

    Dark thoughts flooded his mind as he sat at the back of the car, behind two other cars followed as they drove through the dirt road he had just one thought probing through his mind and that was for him to get on with whatever this was.“Are you sure that we are heading to the right place?" He asked Jeff who was sitting with Charlie in the front seat.“Yes, from my sources we are—" Jeff had answered.The car felt awkwardly silent, in a way he found it weird that Charlie had said anything and wondered what might be running through her mind.It was devastating when she thought about it, still against all odds it was the only odd they got.As the car drove onto a less busy road he hummed to himself, thinking of how nice it had been to have a chance at revenge, the truth was all this while for him had been a bit frustrating —Josie's last words had run through the back of his mind again.'Be careful.’He thought it was nice having things to work out between them but at the same time, he fe

    “Damn!” Logan surged up from where he’d been standing and began angrily pacing back and forth as he listened to the man being questioned.It had been twenty minutes of labored breaths and heavy heart and at that moment the man was before him still pleading for mercy.Mercy?Logan scoffed when he thought about that word, he was nearly killed by these same fucking people, and none of them had deemed it fit that what he needed at that moment was mercy, looking into their eyes all he saw was the fact that he was telling a lie, most definitely he was hiding is hiding something, perhaps he didn't do this all by himself. “He is such a bitch! I imagine my name is mud within them now and they must have gotten into a heavy laugh within themselves after all of this, isn't it ?”" No… " The man with the bloody face pleads.All he could feel at that moment was life slipping away from him slowly, he was right there staring at death In its face." No?” Logan scoffed.He lifted his hands and again t

    Logan at that moment was furious, he hit Charlie across the face and spat out In disgust, his fingers curled around him.At that moment, they heard what looked like footsteps and it was seconds before guns were cocked and from the dark part, he couldn't see with laser light all in his direction, all pointing at his head.“Why did you do that?" he questioned. Charlie raises his hands and the red-dotted light goes off —" You Know I don't like getting involved in all this, you should know better than having him talk. “ He muttered“After they beat you to the pub, it had been my move to get rid of him " He argued bitterly hoping that his word found a good place in his heart."What do you mean?" Logan asked."Just that you should have this a lot simpler, nothing more. I need you to look into something very important." Charlie sighed, he thought it through for a while weighing his options. "Do you know what you are asking ?” He asked. " Have you ever asked why this is the case?" "I m

    Logan that minute was short of words, he had listened to her give account and at first he had taken a few steps back perhaps to look at the bigger picture, he didn't expect what she had said. At that moment the thought of everything sank to the bottom of his mind as he listened to her talk about how the night had been, or at least her fears “You should have told me." Logan groaned heavily after listening.In a way, he had not thought that he would be in such situations when he would start doubting his own men but that was the situation at hand, to matters worse Josie had not seen who it was-By now he was furious, he had pulled away from where she was and started pacing around the room —Filled with nothing but anxiety, he moved around the room, opening and shutting drawers, rifling through documents, and looking for something.She was confused at that moment wondering why he was ransacking through the room.“Are you fine, what are you looking for?" She was quick to ask, but he rat

    Logan could have sworn that he saw her standing in front of the study moments ago, he had watched her hesitate before going In and was filled with a lot of questions at the back of his mind at that moment. As he made his way in, he was surprised to find Charlie-It was the first time he had seen his Butler ever since the entire event and so he thought through what he could have wanted. Staring up at the man that just walked in, Charlie groaned hitting the armrest of the chair, “Ugh! I can't believe you ruined this, I was planning to make this a surprise.”Logan smirked to himself, Charlie always had this way of pacifying him after any incident between them and it was exactly what he was trying to do at that moment, he wanted so much to get them over the situation they had the previous day.“What are my plans for the day ?" He questioned Charlie, it was a sign to show that he accepted the Peace offering or whatever that was.As he sipped from his cup of coffee, Charlie ran him throu

    Logan groaned to himself as he was distracted by the Charlie who walked in, he ran the thought through the course of his mind wondering to himself why the man had always walked in at a moment like this-“I need to speak to you alone." The man had muttered when he walked in much to his displeasure.Logan had looked at him with uncertainty while still trying to understand the entire situation. “What wouldn't you speak in front of her, she is my wife after all.""Trust me…This is not something we can discuss where she is. “Logan rubbed his temple feeling rather disturbed at the entire situation, Charlie most definitely had a perception but the problem was no matter how he looked at it, he was not seeing it." Let's just say it is something that clears a bit of doubt around here, trust me … You can do that can't you?”Much as he didn't want to do all of this, he had looked at her and thought through the situation again, he was still trying to decipher all the problems that were unwindi

    While she was waiting for Logan's arrival — she had thought of a thousand ways of approaching him, yet at that second she could have sworn that none of that mattered.Not even the fact that she had begun the entire sequence pacing the length and breadth of the room with her hands resting on her waist. Rolling her eyes to the back of her head, she stared at the man who was standing right there before her, she was trying to take steps back away from where he was as she could see that stormy gaze in his eyes.He was looking to stay away from her and only that way would he be able to get the thought out of his mind.When she had seen him she acted confused as she was trying to think through her next course of action, her heart was thudding heavily within her chest. “I just want to speak to you, that is all … I need you to believe me.”She had thought it through that minute, all through that while Josie had pondered on the right way she was going to approach the entire situation.

    Logan stands abruptly. " Amber. " The word echoed deep in his thoughts. He tries remembering what the question had been about why he would ask, as it was he was annoyed for many reasons. "Is there not anyone that you won't accuse me of?''His voice rang out through the room, which had a foul scent that looked to be rotten human flesh.With the words dangling deep in her heart, she was feeling rather confused. As he made his way to her, it was as though her name was calling out into the pitch darkness. He moved with grace, with every bit of the strength he had.Her questions were still left unanswered by the man, something about him made her wonder if he was guilty of the allegations that were levied against him or not, the look he had on his face was very confusing enough that she could sense that bit of uncertainty that filled the air-The look he gave made it look like he was guilty as accused, but what more was it about this man, that she couldn't figure out?Logan still was fin

    After Andre was shot by Logan and he picked jersey up hurrying out of the hallway to get help from his men, things happen so fast after that.Just like he predicted, Andre's men scattered the moment they found that their leader was gone, not even bothering to put off a fight since in their words… ‘it was not worth it’. Instead of feeling relieved and satisfied that he got the upper hand, Logan sent some of his men after them to make sure that every member of Andrews team was nullified.Thankfully, Jackson was on standby to oversee the rest of the operations because Logan didn't even bother waiting back, jumping into the ambulance to take Josie to the hospital.Calling for reinforcements on his way there, Logan kept hoping that they weren't too late.Already, Josie's pallor was ashy and her breathing was slow.Even her hands seemed cold and clammy, although the latter part might just be his hand.Immediately, they got to the ER, Logan took over, commanding the nurses to get a doctor do

    Logan's heart dropped to his stomach as he stared at Josie in surprise, wondering what the hell she was doing back here.She must have known he'd feel the same way because her eyes flicked up to his and she mouthed the words ‘I'm sorry’.“Looks like I didn't have to go so far to cause you anguish, Logan.” Andre laughed. “She came straight to me.”Logan took a step towards them. “Hey, look Andre. You don't have to do this, she's innocent in all of this!”“How so? Don't talk to me like I'm an illiterate, I know she's behind all of the plannings you've taken recently… so maybe she wasn't part of this before but you certainly knew how to welcome her into the lifestyle.” Andre chuckled, twisting his gun around so it was pointed directly at her heart.In all of Logan's years dealing with enemies, territory fighting and impeachment from subordinates, he never was once a scared as he was right now.It was now he knew what it meant to have your weaknesses directed at you. Logan would gladly giv

    Waving his gun in front of Logan's face, Andre smirked, cocking his head to the side. “Well, well, well… What's going to be a lover boy? Are you going to shoot first or should I?”Logan didn't even flinch at the empty threats. “If you wanted me dead, you could have done so the moment my team walked in through the front door of the building.”Andre clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. “That's true but you getting shot randomly by one of my men wasn't the plan. It would only rob me of the joy I would get from shooting you in the face by myself and taking the crown while the blood leached out of your body.”Logan chuckled softly which then grew into full-blown laughter, only serving to irritate Andre.“What the hell is so funny, huh?’ Andre grunted, taking a step closer.Logan ignored him, laughing on for as long as he wanted, only slowing the sound down to a trickle a couple of minutes later. “I'm just amused…” “I didn't realize that my words were that funny.” he huffed

Ethan smiled."Home," Ethan whispered.Logan's team gathered around Ethan in a secure facility. Ethan's eyes scanned the room nervously. Logan's expression softened."Tell us, Ethan," Logan encouraged. Ethan took a deep breath."Eclipse wanted Dad's research," Ethan began."Research on what?" Rachel asked. Ethan hesitated."Artificial intelligence," Ethan revealed."AI?" Jackson repeated. Ethan nodded."Dad's AI project. Code-named 'Erebus'." Sophia's eyes narrowed."Erebus?" Sophia repeated. Ethan's voice dropped."Dad's creation. A powerful AI.Capable of global control."

"Rachel, take point. Jackson, you're with me. We'll breach from the east wing."Rachel nodded, her piercing green eyes scanning the blueprint. "I've hacked the security feeds. We've got a 30-second window before they realize we're in."Jackson checked his gear, his rugged features set with determination. "I'm ready to take out their comms."Logan's gaze locked onto the mission objective, his jaw clenched. "Josie's being held in the central cell block. We need to move fast." The team nodded, their faces set with resolve, their breathing steady. They moved out, their footsteps silent as they approached the heavily fortified facility. Rachel took point, her pistol leading the way, her movements fluid."Security team incoming," she whisper

    Logan's team had been searching for Amber for weeks, and finally, they had her in custody. The dimly lit interrogation room was eerily silent, the only sound coming from the hum of the fluorescent lights above. Amber sat calmly, her hands cuffed to the metal table. Her eyes locked onto Logan, who stood at the far end of the room, arms crossed."You're a hard woman to find, Amber," Logan said, his deep voice firm.Amber smirked. "You're not the first to underestimate me, Logan."Logan's team leader, Rachel, stepped forward. "Let's get down to business. We know you're involved with Andre's operation. Tell us what you know."Amber leaned back, a calculated glint in her eye. "I'll tell you everything, but first, I want immunity."Logan raised an eyebrow. "You think you're in a position to negotiate?"Amber's smile widened. "I have information you desperately need. Josie's location, for starters." Rachel's eyes snapped to Logan, who nodded curtly."Deal," Rachel said. "But if you're lying,

    Logan ran his hands all over her body, brushing away her hair so he could clearly scrutinize every bruise or cuts the marred her perfect face. “Are you sure you're okay?”She nods, smiling. “Yes. Even though for a mom and dad feared that I might not make it out alive but…you made hold on a little while longer.”Logan nods, a picture of happiness and contentment on the outside but on the inside, he was actually boiling, livid that he wasn't able to get to her in time before that animal, Andre put his hands on her. *It's okay, you're safe now and I promise you that Andre's not going to hurt you anymore.” He promises, looking into her eyes.Her smile never wavered, even though it got a little shaky at the mention of Andre's name. “I really don't care. I'm safe and I'm here with you, that's all that matters.”Logan kept talking to her, making sure to avoid asking her what went down during her kidnapping, trying to reassure her as best as he could.A couple of minutes later, he could see Ja

    Josie was working on her laptop when she got a text. It was from Amber and the tone of the text screamed urgency.Amber: Josie, please where are you? I need your help!Spooked by the weird way Amber was trying to text her, Josie reached for her phone and tried to call Amber.Unfortunately it wasn't going through and that only made Josie more worried, so she texted back.Josie: Where are you? What's going on?Almost immediately, a response dropped but it wasn't the type that she was looking for.It was a pin to her location with the words ‘hurry’ in capital letters next to it.Josie debated on reaching out for help or talking to Logan about it but she decided that it to be too late to help if the matter really was as urgent as Amber was making it out to be, plus the location she dropped was less than 30 minutes away.If she drives straight there and right back, she would be back before Logan was aware.With that decision made, Josie slammed her laptop closed, reaching for her jacket,

    “Start talking and maybe I'll not start slicing off your flesh,” Logan ordered, his patience wearing thin.There's no way he'll allow Andre to get his way, even if it means giving up everything he's worked so hard for.He didn't know when it happened, but Josie was like a nasty bug, one that gets under your skin whether you want it to or not.Amber wets her lips, darting her eyes towards Jackson's figure. For some reason, she seems to be more scared of Jackson than the man who's sliced into her skin like a piece of meat.Logan snapped his fingers to gain her attention. “I was asking you a question! What do you know about Josie's kidnapping and Andre's plans all along?”Logan made sure to waggle the tip of the bloody life in front of her face. Once her eyes landed on it, she went pale swallowing up spit. “Okay, okay! I'll tell you what I know!”Logan sat back, waving his hands. “Start talking.”“Um…” she smacked her lips. “Can I get a glass of water, please?” Jackson grunted and she qui
