Chapter 13 - The Interrogation
Inside the warehouse, crates of smuggled weapons lined the walls.
In the center of the room, Julian was surrounded by four armed guards.
He was arguing heatedly with a tall man in a tailored grey coat.
The man was Viktor Rastov, the Syndicate leader in New York.
"I gave you Gabriel's territory!" Julian shouted hysterically.
"Where is the immunity you promised me?"
Viktor chuckled coldly, blowing cigar smoke into Julian's face.
"You gave us a broken family, Julian," Viktor said smoothly.
"A man who betrays his own brother has no honor."
"Why would I trust a rat?"
Julian recoiled in horror as Viktor pulled a silver revolver.
Suddenly, the lights throughout the warehouse went completely black.
A loud metallic bang echoed through the darkness.
Gunshots erupted instantly as panic seized Viktor’s men.
"Who’s there?!" Viktor roared, firing blindly into the dark.
Screams echoed across the concrete floor as Bruno struck from the shadows.
One by one, guards fell silently into the dark.
Then, a voice cut through the madness.
"You were right about one thing, Viktor," Gabriel’s voice echoed from above.
"He is a rat."

A single spotlight flickered back on above Viktor and Julian.
Gabriel dropped down from a container stack, landing heavily on his feet.
