Chapter 31: Abandoned Warehouse
Amos stood at the edge of an abandoned warehouse, his eyes scanning the empty lot.
He'd chosen this place on purpose - isolated, with no cameras and plenty of exits if things went sideways.
He checked his watch. Hades was supposed to be here by now.
He exhaled, trying to steady his nerves. He needed this to go perfectly.
If he could corner Hades into working with him and leverage the information about the cameras, he could make Hades do his bidding.
Maybe even push Lucas out of the way once and for all.
The door creaked open behind him, and Amos spun around.
Hades walked in, his steps unhurried, his posture relaxed.
He looked exactly how Amos imagined - calm, dangerous, and utterly unbothered. Alone, just as Amos had demanded.
"Amos," Hades greeted, his deep voice cutting through the silence of the warehouse. "You called. I came. Now, what's this about?"
Amos straightened his jacket, stepping forward with a confident smirk. "Let's cut the small talk, Hades. You know what this is about. The cameras, the paparazzi chaos with Aurora. I've got everything I need to blow this wide open."
