The Ultimate Return of Carlos 73
Carlos crouched beside Molly, his hand gently stroking the cat’s soft fur as the weight of the moment pressed against his chest. The cat whimpered slightly, sensing the tension, and he let out a soft grunt, as though the simple act of bidding farewell to the cat tore at his insides. Molly’s eyes reflected the warmth and the connection they’d shared in such a brief time, but Carlos knew he had no choice but to leave.“Take care of her, Edith,” he said, his voice thick with sincerity. He rose slowly, turning toward the door. “And thank you. For everything.”Edith watched him, her arms crossed but her gaze soft. “I didn’t do it for you,” she replied flatly, but the underlying kindness in her voice betrayed her. She had risked more than she would ever admit, and Carlos understood that even though she claimed no attachment, there was a bond between them now. She had saved his life, and even though she acted like it didn’t matter, it clearly did. With one final nod, Carlos pushed open the d
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 74
Carlos kept his eyes on Olivia, absorbing everything she had just said, the weight of her words sinking in slowly. The revelation that she had saved him from the crash left him speechless for a moment, his mind racing with questions he didn’t know how to articulate. He could still vividly remember that day— his car tumbling, the screeching sound of metal grinding against the asphalt, the fear that had wrapped around him like a shroud before everything went black.And now, Olivia was telling him that she had been the one to pull him out of the wreckage? His thoughts were in disarray, his emotions torn between gratitude and confusion. He stared out of the window as they sped down the road, the New York skyline fading in the distance as they drove farther and farther away."Olivia…" he started, his voice barely above a whisper. He turned to her, watching as she gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Why didn’t you say anything? Why didn’t you come to me af
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 75
Carlos stared out the window, his thoughts still swirling from the conversation they’d just had. The tension between him and Olivia was thick, the weight of everything that had been left unsaid hanging in the air like a heavy cloud. Outside, the abandoned parking lot stretched out in all directions, desolate and empty, a reflection of the emptiness that seemed to have settled between them. He shifted in his seat, glancing over at Olivia, who had her hands still gripping the steering wheel, her knuckles white. She hadn’t spoken since pulling over, and the silence between them was becoming unbearable.Finally, Carlos broke the silence.“This where we’re staying tonight?” he asked, his voice cutting through the stillness like a sharp knife. His eyes scanned the lot outside again, taking in the overgrown grass, the cracked pavement, the distant silhouette of a rundown building. It looked like a place where no one had set foot in years.Olivia didn’t respond immediately. She exhaled slowl
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 76
Carlos shifted in his seat, feeling the tension still lingering between them. He didn’t say anything for a while, just stared out of the window as the trees zipped by in the darkness. His mind was racing, filled with questions he wasn’t sure he wanted the answers to.After what felt like an eternity, he spoke again. “Olivia,” he began, his voice low and hesitant, “what exactly are we running from? Is it just Edgar, or is there more to this than you’re telling me?”Olivia’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, her knuckles going white again. She kept her eyes on the road, her jaw clenched in that same determined set that Carlos had seen earlier. He could tell she was trying to think of the right thing to say, the right way to answer his question without giving too much away.“It’s complicated,” she finally said, her voice quiet but firm.Carlos scoffed, shaking his head in frustration. “Complicated? Everything with you is complicated, Olivia. I need to know what’s going on. I deserve
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 77
“Abby, huh?” Olivia’s voice sliced through the heavy silence of the car, startling Carlos slightly. Her eyes were still fixed on the road ahead, but there was a sharp edge to her tone, a curiosity that Carlos hadn’t expected. The quiet hum of the car’s engine and the dark expanse of highway that stretched before them suddenly felt more oppressive.Carlos shifted in his seat, his eyes narrowing. He hadn’t sensed this kind of curiosity Olivia before. Why now? His fingers drummed lightly against the armrest, his mind racing. “What about her?” Carlos asked cautiously, his voice low and guarded.Olivia glanced at him, her expression unreadable. “Tell me about her,” she said softly, turning her attention back to the road. “I want to know what she was like.”Carlos frowned, suspicion flashing in his eyes. “Why do you want to know about Abby?” His voice had a hint of challenge in it, as if daring her to push this conversation further. “Why are you asking about my dead fiancée?”There was a m
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 78
Carlos could barely keep his eyes on the road ahead as they drove the last few miles. The towering trees thickened on both sides of the narrow path, casting long shadows in the evening light. The further they went, the quieter it got, and Carlos noticed the change in Olivia's demeanor as she gripped the wheel, her lips pressed together in a tight line.“You sure this is the right way?” Carlos asked, casting a suspicious glance at the GPS on the dashboard, which had lost signal a while back. “I know where I’m going,” Olivia replied, her voice steady but tense. She leaned forward slightly, focusing on the winding road as it began to narrow. “It’s just up ahead.”Carlos remained silent after that, but his mind was racing. The silence between them stretched, thick with unspoken worries. They had both seen too much, done too much, and now they were on the run together. He wasn’t sure if this was the best idea, but it was the only one they had.As they rounded the final bend, the house cam
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 79
Olivia stood in the doorway of Carlos's guestroom, her hand lingering on the doorknob. The early morning light had not yet broken through the windows, and the room was dimly lit by the pale moonlight filtering through the blinds. She took a deep breath, steeling herself before stepping inside.Quietly, she padded across the floor and sat gently on the edge of the bed. Carlos lay there, his breathing slow and steady, his chest rising and falling rhythmically as he slept. His face, usually marked by tension and stress, looked peaceful for once, his features soft in the stillness of sleep. His thick black hair was tousled, resting across his forehead in a way that made him look almost boyish. Olivia couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of him.How did they end up here? She thought as her gaze softened. The long journey they had made, the obstacles they had faced, and the lives they had both lost to the common enemy they shared— Edgar and the woman he worked for. Fate, it seemed, had twi
The Ultimate Return of Carlos 80
Carlos sat in the dimly lit living room, the silence only broken by the occasional clatter of keys as Jon worked on his laptop. The weight of the situation settled on him, pressing heavily against his chest. He’d been through a lot, but this… this was different. Tomorrow, they’d be facing Edgar, a man who seemed untouchable, a man with power, money, and the ruthlessness to destroy anyone who crossed him. But they had no choice. It was either strike first or be hunted.He glanced across the room at Jon, who was entirely focused on the glowing screen in front of him. Whatever he was working on, it had to do with tomorrow’s mission. He was double checking everything— the coordinates, the intel, the logistics. Making sure there were no mistakes. Carlos pushed himself off the couch, his mind racing. He couldn’t just sit there any longer, not with all that was hanging over them. He needed to talk to Jon. They hadn’t really had a proper introduction, and Jon was risking just as much as he w
