“What are you doing?” Larry Griffin’s voice trembled as he watched Greg hang that black bag above Julia’s head. A sinking feeling formed in his gut.
“Why, I’m showing the same mercy you showed the hundreds of families who got cancer because of you,” Greg said with a sneer, attaching the IV tube to the bag of black liquid.
“No, no, stop—what are you trying to do to ...

Out of caution, he convinced the rest of the team to stay behind in Margrave while he returned to New York alone. The odds were slim that anything would go wrong, but just in case, he knew JJ or Hannah could reach out to the right people for help...
2025-06-20 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSeeing the four people before him looking so downcast, Jack got up, cleared their bowls and dishes, and shooed them out into the backyard.
It had been over 30°C during the day, but by nightfall it had cooled down. Their small house used by the Most Wanted team wasn’t far from the shore, and the sea breeze carried a hint of coolness.
The old Mexican gardener had done a good...
2025-06-20 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfter finally calming down the panic-stricken Larry Griffin and convincing him to stay inside the villa, Jack and Clay remained outside, leaning against their vehicle, talking quietly.
“I don’t get it,” Clay said, voice low. “And I know this might sound wrong, but compared to just killing the girl, kidnapping her seems like way more trouble. What are the Hammond brothers really af...

At the same time, Jack spotted the black Mercedes parked by the curb and saw Wyatt Hammond stepping out with an MP5 submachine gun featuring a folding stock.
“Any sign of Greg?” Jack asked, eyes locked on the suspect as he awkwardly reached left-handed for his Si...

Jubal was silent for a long moment before finally asking, “But why kidnap the mayor’s wife? She’s not exactly innocent, but she doesn’t seem central to any of this.”
“I don’t know,”...

Sodium chlorate is a herbicide, also flammable and explosive; its effects are enhanced when mixed with substances like phosphorus or sulfur.
“Wyatt works at an agricultural supply store. He definitely got the so...

Jack’s looks spoke for themselves, and his colleague Clay wasn’t far behind—an undeniably handsome man.
Back in his Navy SEAL days, Clay had maintained a rugged look, often going weeks without grooming his thick beard, w...

Her words left Jack and Clay exchanging a glance. There were at least seventy or eighty old hats nailed to the wall—each one symbolizing a family touched by tragedy.
“So how did Griffin manage to escape accountability? I mean, we heard you all launched a class-action...
2025-06-18 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“So what we’re really dealing with is either two people or a whole gang of vigilantes? Alabama has its own Robin Hood now?” Clay asked curiously once they got back in the car.
Aubrey spread his hands in uncertainty. “I asked the state police. There hasn’t been any recent activity involving a theft crew with similar characteristics.”
“I know Zorro used to carve a ‘Z...

2025-06-17 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing Interstate 20, the three of them arrived at a small town called Heflin. After witnessing the flourishing scene in Margrave, the dilapidated atmosphere here felt even more pronounced.
Even when driving through the town center, they saw fewer than a handful of living people. If a zombie apocalypse were to occur, southern states like this in the USA would make for pretty good survi...

On the left was a man around forty or fifty, bald with a greasy brown beard that was turning white around the chin. His expression was mean, and his ...
