Chương 63: Chapter sixty-two

Isabel POV

The firelight danced in the rearview mirror as we sped away from the burning warehouse. 

"We hit them hard tonight," Miguel said, his voice breaking the tense silence.

I glanced at him. "Do you think it's enough?"

"No," Marissa answered bluntly. "But it's a start."

"We need to regroup," I said, pulling onto a side road. "Victor's safe house is compromised. We can't risk going back."

"Where do we go?" Isabel asked, her voice quieter than usual.

I hesitated, my mind racing through our options. "There's a place. Remote enough to keep us off their radar for a while."

Miguel didn't elaborate, and I didn't press him. Exhaustion weighed heavily on me, the adrenaline that had kept me going earlier now fading fast. I leaned my head against the window, the cool glass soothing against my skin.

 "We need to talk strategy. Gideon's going to retaliate, and it won't be subtle."
